This is Beta 5 of Ignorance 1.4. It has some updates, some demo scripts have been given some fixes and improvements, and it now optionally can use either the FixedUpdate + Update cycle or the Mirror-controlled Early/Late Client/Server Update Loops.

New Stuff and Improvements

  • Support for Mirror's own Server/Client Update Loop: Defining IGNORANCE_MIRROR_POLLING will disable the high performance FixedUpdate + Update tag-team cycles in favor for Mirror's own network update loop. This may or may not give better performance in all situations. I would advise to keep using the stock Ignorance update loop unless you want to do some extensive performance testing.

By default, Ignorance will use the FixedUpdate + Update tag-team loop. You must define that code define in your project settings to switch over to the Mirror-controlled loop.

  • Removed ProcessClientConnectionEvents. Placed its code inside ProcessClientEvents.

  • Who's talking: Ignorance will now tell you who's spewing what on the Debug.Log calls, so you can see if it's the Ignorance Server instance or Ignorance Client instance.

Fixes and Updates

  • Updates from Ignorance 1.4.0b4 included, which was updates to the ENet bindings and split mobile libraries for easier mobile management.

  • PongChamp 2600 got some TLC and got it working again. Shit was breaking, so I brought out the WD40 and sprayed it a bit and she started working again. Bloody oath. As an added bonus, the demo's even faster! Those old Ataris are jealous.

Notes

  • Please report any bugs you get when using the Mirror-controlled Update Loop. You shouldn't get any but since I don't use that update loop myself, if it breaks I'll fix it.

  • There is a empty menu item in the Ignorance menu that I didn't program in before the time of release. Oops. It doesn't do anything but look pretty.

As always, thank you for using Ignorance! Your support over the years of me developing this is greatly appreciated. ❤️
