Legit question about lag

You kow how in most games if your connection is slow your character will start teleporting back and forth as the game is trying to uodate your current position ? So when the game lags it gets really slow? my question basically is does the game update your position based on your side of the game or onto the server itself? like the command goes from your machie to the server and the response come aftewards and youe character in your screen moves as a result of it.

The game, and byond itself really, runs entirely server side. Clients (players) only provide inputs and receive information from server about what to display.

When you lag due to your internet connection, your inputs and what you see from server are delayed.

Definetely the latter.

Also why players with high latency have a much harder time with melee combat, made even worse on Golden. If you click someone that’s adjacent to you and the server thinks they are no longer adjacent by the time it processes, the attack doesn’t register.
