Most of my online experience with games in first person shooters. A while ago some friends of mine who play fighting games were talking about various games or series getting “rollback netcode” and I was kind of confused what they meant. I assumed it was some sort of fancy new thing. Then they explained it and I realised they were talking about what I would have called lag compensation, which I had just assumed every online game had had as standard feature for decades, but apparently was mostly a first person shooter thing?
