‍

C# Support: GD-Sync 0.5 comes with built-in C# support. There is now a dedicated C# API to streamline development, no more awkward calls to GDScript! To enable the C# API, check out our documentation.

Time Synchronized Events: This new feature allows you to easily create time synchronized events that trigger on all clients simultaneously. These events trigger at the exact same time on all clients regardless of latency, crucial for developing time-critical mechanics or events. For usage instructions, check out our documentation.

Upgrading to version 0.5 can be done by deleting the plugin from your project and then re-installing it through the Godot Asset Library. It is also possible to download the plugin directly from our GitHub.
