MP bug: stuck in blueprint mode/no vision

[madhaha]

Getting a recurring and common bug where after a level load, a player in a MP game will lose all visibility (only see grey). If the level has already been explored, the blueprints will show. The only resolution is for that player to quit.

how very interesting, I heard a few cases of something similar in beta testing > i'll push it to the andys (:

Problem occured for me today, too.

This is a known issue. We need to track it down and get a sense for how often it occurs.

I had this happen in the bank job, when moving from the 2nd floor to the first floor.

I can confirm that. We tried making a coop letsplay. 3 of 3 tries failed because one of the players always kept being stuck on the staircase.

Happened couple of times earlier, some players got stuck and we could only restart the level.

[AndyN.]

We still have to look into this. Someone actually said (and I haven't tested this), that it occurs 100% of the time if you have the chat window open when you transition floors.

Is that true?

[camou]

None of us had the chat window open, as we use Teamspeak for communication.
One player had the problem twice in a row, so we asked him to open a game. In this game he didn't get stuck, but another player did instead.

[AndyN.]

Ya this issue is getting more and more common. We need to look into it. Thanks for reporting!

[madhaha]

The "stuck" player can still hear sound but they can't control their character, even blindly. Some sort of initialization bug?

[AndyN.]

I think it has to do with one of the players getting out of sync with the server. Then again, I've heard servers say they get it too.

We are also getting this. We have 4 people and 1 or 2 players gets the no vision problem so often we cannot get past the second mission.

[murgo]

Same here. 4 players, everybody tried hosting but almost every time somebody got stuck with the gray screen after going to a ladder. Had to restart first level for at least 4 times, never got past the second level.

[AndyN.]

When the floor loads and you can only see the blueprint, do you know if this is the floor you were going to, or the floor you were coming from?

For example, I was on floor 1, went into staircase, and loaded blueprint of floor 2. or loaded blueprint of floor 1

[madhaha]

I think it's the floor you're going to (otherwise people wouldn't be getting a blank on unvisited floors). I'll post if it happens to me again.
