DirectPlay opinions
DirectPlay has some quirks but nothing that should prevent you from using it. I've read that some companies have had to rip out their DirectPlay code because of problems, but without more info on what their problems are I can't say whether their problems are valid. We're using DirectPlay in Antietam and I haven't heard of any problems so far that haven't been overcome.

For a while now I have been toying with the idea of using DirectPlay in a game. Before I go about it though, I thought I'd ask what opinions people have about DirectPlay, and what there experiences with it were like. So far I'm pretty impressed with it, but I haven't done a whole ton with it yet so I can't really judge how well it would work in an actual game.
Any thoughts?

I've never done any work with it but I thought I heard there were some lag issues along with it. We're those ever resolved (or even true)?
