Multiplayer bug in glest 3.2.1 :-(
« on: 19 February 2009, 19:11:09 »
We found an annoying bug in glest 3.2.1 ( its in Linux but I think its of general kind )

Multiplayer:
When we start a multiplayer 2 player game it often happens that the client only sees a black screen after starting the game.
The game doesn't crash or gives an error and the music is playing and ressources are shown, it looks like fog of war everywhere.
This also happens with a clear magitech only installation!
I think this must be some kind of timing problem, because it happens more often if you start with big mods.
We didn't checked this in windows yet, but I'm quite shure it will happen there too. I will verify this If I find the time.

Another error we sometimes saw is the following:
If you give the ghost armor an attack command in the fog of war coverd area, it starts walking there, but he doesn't attack any units which he met.
Normally the units attack everything in attack mode. This doesn't happen always but sometimes. The point where he attacks was NOT a unit or building, we discovered that it was just a point in the grass. For me this error was new today, but my son said that it was always there.

3.1.2 was ok. It doesn't happen every time, thats why I didn't noticed it when I tested my linux binary
