Just curious are these things that we will have to wait for the next update 3.4.0 or are they simple fixes that can be implemented in another way? just curious we were hoping to really start grinding on some multiplayer testing

p.s posted new topic because i didn't know if it belonged in the announcement thread.. dont even know if we can reply to them

High possibility. Unless they decide to do a quick patch.

I would think they would do a quick patch, as im guessing that 3.4 is quite some time off.

I think they should get out a hotfix quite quickly. They desperately need to fix this and the fact you can't compile in Release mode without hacking the VS2010 project files, which I haven't managed to do yet.

can only hope that they release a small hotfix for this..


its completely put a halt to testing multiplayer.. i was able to get around the disconnect loop with using a small non-textured map but the players cant see each other (only for the first 2 sec after spawn)

Hey guys, if we can find a solution to this issue that you guys can implement we will let you know. Any progress on the issue we'll keep you up to date with

Thanks for the update adam, i appreciate it sincerely

Solution for the MP issue: (New network compression policy by Crytek was at fault, obviously work in progress)

Replace (Scripts/Network/CompressionPolicy.xml)


With

Thanks. But for a heads-up, this solves the problem with player sync, but when a connecting player gets a kill or is killed, they will crash or get kicked respectively. The stack trace from the crash points to a location in CryNetwork.dll

In debug, it will print the following to console (which in fact, you posted on IRC):
[Warning] [net 02:39:13.162] QuantizedVec3Policy: not implemented for generic types
[Warning] [net 02:39:13.162] Failed to decompress

i can confirm this as well.. sync is fixed with this workaround but on any kill the respective player is kicked.. defiantly a good start.. hopefully Crytek will take these findings and implement a official patch

Yeah, noticed the issue shortly after posting here. Can't say that I'm aware of a quick fix for it, but will check again later today.

We're still working on this one guys, i got my coders tearing it apart right now.. if anyone finds a solution before us please feel free to post it here

JR told me on Twitter that the multiplayer bug has already been fixed. So now it's up to Crytek to release an update (I really hope they do a hotfix for these development halting bugs)

That or a monthly update schedule.

well, we're still waiting so far on a update from crytek addressing the issue, my devs haven't found anything solid on it yet, they are focused on our dedicated server
