Summary0025491: Multiplayer bugs Aug 7
DescriptionHere are some stream of consciousness report on problems that were observed in MP tonight. Lots of errors seen.

Client game clock resets back to 1 second repeatedly sometimes (only on very firsrt connection)


I see the following in my log (I think this was from opening the edit factions window)

I have battles where there are enemy ships but the client can't see them. However, the client can see the shots being fired. During this whole battle the enemy sihps can't be seen. These problems were intermittent. This was sporadic

Some factions just never have their ships show up. I'm playing with the scourge and I see no scourge units in the galaxy at all. Not even the spawners or anything. This was sporadic

I see no ships at all in the galaxy, just flagships and stationary structures. I do see my strikecraft/frigates in the planet sidebar Units list though. This was sporadic

When I give ships orders to go between planets I sometimes don't get any visual feedback that they've gone through the wormhole for a while after they've actually gone through. In general when giving movement orders it takes 5-10 seceonds for any ships on my screen to be updated.


The lost spire frigate flagship appears intermittently visually in the game at all; this is the only flagship that seems to have this problem (but also our onle Officer)


human empire clients see no hacking notifications even when a hack is ongoing if they did not initiate the hack. If I as a client start a hack it works fine.

The "Ship is warping in" imagery looks really weird on client. It's just kinda orange for the scourge armory; solid orange, no texture or anything.

Host was playing. Things were slow and hiccuping for them. We decided to save/quit to main menu/reload to see if that would clear things up. Afterwards windows told the host that the game was not respoinding and it needed to be killed via tsk manager
