High Horse Entertainment is rolling out dedicated servers for Disc Jam, with
plans to feature cross-play for PC and PlayStation 4 fans very soon,
depending upon passing Quality Assurance testing. Below are some of the immediate benefits users will see in-game.
[*]Drastically improved matchmaking
[*]This is especially true for Doubles where connection difficulties are compounded by each joining player (and the inevitable router/NAT/firewall troubles that come with them)[/list]
[*]More reliable connections across the board
[*]No more bad hosts piggybacking on their neighborhood McDonald's WiFi!
[*]Someone's bad Internet is their own problem and will not affect your inputs to the game host[/list]
[*]Less volatility in latency (lower average ping)
[*]Better handling of opponent disconnects
[*]Quitters are guaranteed the loss.[/list]
[*]You can now simultaneously queue for singles and doubles, and in multiple regions.
[*]Skill-based matchmaking will now relax over time, eventually considering players of all skill levels to ensure you get into a match.
[*]This should result in lower average queue times for everyone![/list][/list]For a list of items planned in future updates,
