yes it will still work, the update only affects players, in game throwing swords are treated like a completely different object

the websocket update is pushed!

We have completely switched from socket.io, for me personally, not much difference in ping.

If you’re wondering what the heck am I talking about?

Well in short, socket.io was the old system we used for connections. It was super easy to use, even for beginners, that’s why I used it. But there were problems with it that caused players to disconnect. So I switched to WebSockets, which is the core system behind socket.io, and it will fix lag more.

The game seems much more stable now

Also i’ve been monitoring a more consistent TPS drop after the update… let me know if this becomes an issue

I think this will probably fix the disconnect issue but let’s wait and see

Thanks!
