paradise8 and other vendor resources to expedite testing while keeping production secrets safe. This is a simple habit that saves hours in cross-team handovers.
Now that you have the architecture and tooling points, let’s wrap up with a compact FAQ.
## Mini-FAQ
Q: Which API should I prioritize for latency-critical VR game events?
A: Prefer gRPC or UDP-based scene relay for positional/physics events and gRPC/WebSocket for money-related events; REST for lifecycle ops. This layered approach separates concerns cleanly and reduces contention between realtime and transactional traffic.
Q: How do I prove a round’s fairness to a regulator?
A: Implement seed-hash publishing: store the seed server-side, publish the seedHash with round metadata, and reveal seeds on audit request; keep immutable transcripts to back claims.
Q: What are realistic latency targets for VR rooms?
A: Aim for sub-50ms RTT for scene updates between regional nodes; financial messages can tolerate higher latency but should be stable and ordered. If you can’t hit <50ms, plan client-side prediction/rollback.
Q: How to handle KYC delays affecting payouts?
A: Allow gameplay (with limits) while KYC is pending, but block withdrawals and high-stakes VIP flows; mirror this decision in your SessionStart and BalanceUpdate states.
Q: Who should be involved in vendor integration planning?
A: Engineering, Security, Compliance (KYC/AML), Payments, and Live Ops — include a product owner to coordinate acceptance criteria.
## Common Mistakes (quick list)
- Missing idempotency tokens on money endpoints.
- Merging scene and financial traffic on the same transport.
- Forgetting to publish RNG audit artifacts.
- Not load-testing mixed VR + web user patterns.
