Anyone have any idea how much is sent during a MP game? My friend has a data cap and wont play if the game is gonna eat through it.


Thanks
 
I am currently hosting PB game , which is not exactly the game that you will play , cause here the players log more frequently thus the PB have to upload the game each time.

But usually it all depends on two factors.

1) how big is the game , because it has to be transfered at the begining of the game. You can check how big your save game is.

2) the traffic that the game generates is around 300bytes/s , at least that whats my bandwidth monitor shows....

The best practice would be to check yourself tho :goodjob:
