[windows][networking] Use ZeroTier for LAN gaming #1063

Open LukeShortCloud opened 7 months ago

LukeShortCloud commented 7 months ago

Windows has various known issues with broadcast and multicast protocols which a lot of LAN games rely on.

Solutions:

  1. Change the interface priority of the network adapter to be the highest priority in Windows by setting the metric to be 1.
  2. Disable Wi-Fi before starting the game.
  3. Use WinIPBroadcast.
