They have a function that simulates latency. In short, it would take a user-defined length of time (100ms for example) and delay networked packets for that duration. This would be used only for testing and debugging.

As far as compensation, Path of Exile uses two networking models that keep client and server synchronized despite latency.

The first networking model is Predictive, you can learn about that here:

The second is Lockstep, and here's a nice article on that:

Pls ranger MTX for bows.

You guys are really fucking cool for being such epic nerds. I mean this in the most sincere way possible. Loved you guys from the start and love you even more as time goes on. Keep it up GGG!
