Nine Realities Netcode Roadmap

Current Status: v3.0 (June 2026)

✅ Completed in v3.0

Unreal Engine Plugin

  • Complete N+1 model C++ implementation (15,000+ lines)
  • UN1NetcodeManager — Central orchestrator with 4 operating modes
  • UN1ClientPrediction — 4-mode adaptive prediction system
  • UN1ServerAuthority — Authoritative simulation with adaptive snapshots
  • UN1RollbackEngine — Rollback + replay with cost estimation
  • UN1BlendInterpolator — 4-curve correction smoothing
  • UN1ReconciliationEngine — 4-strategy reconciliation
  • UN1NetworkClock — High-precision sync with jitter buffering
  • UN1PredictionBuffer — Ring buffer for rollback replay
  • Quantized state serialization with delta compression
  • Full Blueprint support (UCLASS/UFUNCTION/UPROPERTY)
  • Editor module for development tooling

UE6 Forward Compatibility

  • Runtime engine version detection
  • UE6 compatibility layer with feature polyfills
  • Network Snapshots V2 preparation
  • QUIC transport configuration (with UDP fallback)
  • NetworkPrediction plugin integration hooks

Documentation & Site

  • Modernized GitHub Pages (v3.0 design)
  • Plugin installation and quick-start guides
  • UE6 compatibility and migration documentation
  • Updated README with plugin architecture

Q3 2026 Goals

Plugin Hardening

  • Comprehensive unit test suite (Google Test)
