Reconnect with no vision

A few days ago I kept on soft crashing on the PAX system ("connection to server lost", i was the only one that lost connection though so it wasn't a server crash) and it was very weird.

But twice, i reconnected with no vision of units. This seems to be a recurring bug, and I'm not sure if it's known yet.

I have no reliable way to reproduce other than keep reconnecting and hope it happens.

Other people seem to have the same issue.

I'll post logs here when I get home, they should still be in my pc. Although I'm not sure which log is the one with no vision so I might post all of the recent ones.

@masterdigital

All of these logs are from a single game, which probably indicates something else wrong. But the more recent ones should show something about no vision i guess.

Instead of going through each one, i think PA-2015-08-19_011943 is around the time when i reconected with no vision, although i'm not 100% sure. It happened twice in a row too.

Something similar happen to me this morning: PA:T crashed and when reconnecting there was no units, just empty planets. After a moment the trees started to reappear, slowly. Then after the units came back. It seemed quite long, but as I'm was gaming I not sure how much. I would say around 1 minute.

Here are 2 logs:

This issue was not fixed in the new update. I did not experience the bug however, someone else did in a game.

I managed to load a replay where the units weren't loading. Here's the log. It's very rare for me though...

I just tried it five times in a row and it worked four times. So, yeah, rare. If it helps for comparison, I've also included a log where I successfully connected to the replay.

@jables You asked in PAStats if there were logs about this bug where units are invisible. In this thread they are.

Just reproduced with lobbyId 669127512155095840 and there were multiple issues with this game:

• my client froze during game start, reconnected after auto landing with no build bar
• restarted laptop
• killed while restarting :-(
• timed out of game (no reconnect option)
• no longer show as player in lobby (now showing N30N as a player who joined mid game as an always spectator)
• spectate fails with loginRejected
• reconnect again as spectator (still show as player in game)
• correct vision flags for player but now a player who died and is spectating
• takes a very long time to show game over
• toggle first player vision and then all vision to see units

Was this the game where I spammed mass turrets?

Nevermind, just looked at the code. So yeah it was. I was wondering what was going on ;-;
