Title: Server Code Update :: RoF2 Zoning Issues Fixed (T10)
Post by: Akkadius on April 13, 2016, 12:11:51 am
So after a long an grueling process of troubleshooting and narrowing things down, we've finally got the RoF2 zoning (desync) issue resolved which should also resolve a slew of other buggy type behavior as well since it involves changes to netcode.

Zoning Issues:
  • A HUGE thanks to Haynar for making the changes on the netcode to fixing the zoning issue with RoF2 clients.
  • Haynar is also responsible for the zone speed up changes that were also made in the process of trying to narrow these issues down
  • For those who don't know who Haynar is, he's been a major player in P99's codebase as well as the Tak (EQ Mac) project, he stays mostly behind the scenes. Please give him your thanks in this thread, he spent a lot of time getting to the bottom of this issue
  • Another huge thanks to Dimurwar for night after night of grueling testing. I've also had folks such as Mixlor and a few others that have helped with this lengthy process. Once again we appreciate how willing our players are to help us troubleshoot difficult issues

T10:
  • In-zone death has been removed due to desync issues being resolved

I've also fixed quite a few crashes that I've spotted in our logs over the past few days as well.

Enjoy!
Akkadius

Badass, thanks much Haynar for ripping the hell out of the code and making zoning and death zoning negligible, on a mass wipe I can massrez toons in before I bite it haha.
