● FIXED-SCOPE TECHNICAL EVALUATION

Architecture & Desync Audit

Empirical Diagnostics for High-Risk Multiplayer Bottlenecks
Turnaround: 4 Business Days | $1,500 Flat (100% Upfront)

// Objective

Multiplayer state synchronization failures, tick-rate collapse, and lag spikes often trace back to low-level structural issues rather than high-level gameplay bugs. This audit evaluates your dedicated server, serialization pipeline, and tick loop under simulated load to give your team an exact, actionable engineering roadmap.

// Inspection Pillars

[A] Wire & Serialization

  • Per-packet overhead and MTU threshold compliance.
  • Delta compression efficiency and bit-packing hygiene.
  • Spatial interest management and entity culling.

[B] Determinism & Clock

  • Fixed vs variable delta-time loop validation.
  • Input buffering, prediction, and reconciliation logic.
  • Jitter buffer smoothing and snap thresholds.

[C] Engine & Memory

  • Per-tick dynamic allocations and GC pressure.
  • Socket I/O thread contention and lock latency.
  • State snapshot memory footprints under scale.

// Client Ingestion Requirements

To eliminate ramp-up delays and guarantee delivery, the following assets are required before the 4-day sprint begins:

Requirement Specification
Repository Access Read-only access to the relevant branch/repository.
Deterministic Build A local build command, script, or Docker configuration to spin up a dedicated server and local client.
Target Specs Target concurrent entity count, minimum acceptable tick rate (e.g. 60Hz), and target latency window.

// Deliverables & Hand-off
