[ANSWERED] [Game DEV's] Ghost mode and "I didn't see anyone"

[[Интегра] ResTed]

The addition of the ghost mode was a much needed feature and it really helps to avoid a lot of crashes and incidents.  

 

But recently, a new problem has arisen, which is increasingly common - players who do "not see anyone". Usually, this happens in places where there are many players, so players connect to the server and immediately start moving, but since other players have not yet appeared for such a player, it causes damage to other players, which creates even more problems in such places. Are there any plans to deal with this?

 

P.S.: perhaps this will be discussed, but in my opinion a system is needed that does not allow movement to start for a certain time, for example, while the ghost mode is active.

Hi there,

 

We currently have plans to improve the ghost mode so players with long loading times will not have to worry.
However, the solution you mention is not what I mean. I fear that this would lead to other issues, especially in busy places where people leave and join all the time. Because once all the current players spawn in, a few new players could connect in the meantime. And the user has to wait for these to load in. On older hardware, this may be minutes of waiting.

 

Optimally, the problems with streamed players should be handled by other systems. One of the current ones is unreliable connection detection.
These solutions are not perfect either, but there are plans to change them. Unfortunately, there is no ETA for it.

 

I hope this answers your question.
