Hey everyone,

I want to thank everyone who volunteered to help out. I am no longer looking for volunteers to reproduce this issue. We have a fix that is currently in testing, and we are hoping to have it out to you guys soon. Everyone's help is very much appreciated and was valuable in reproducing and isolating this issue.

I want to point out that this fix specifically addresses a situation in which the server erroneously stops sending data to the client--the generally perceived symptoms are "moonwalking", teleporting, lack of zoom and vision mode functionality, inability to fire LRMS, etc. This bug is most likely to strike when a user gets disconnected from the match, either intentionally or accidentally. When it occurs, it will affect a random user, and it will affect them for a random amount of time. Connection quality, graphics settings, selected mech, map, mode, rejoin, are not factors in causing this issue.

This bug does not address all rubberbanding, snapping, or hit detection issues, all of which are things that can still occur as a result of your individual connection quality.

With that said, this bug is very widespread, so this fix should address a large portion of issues people have been experiencing. Keep your eyes out for an announcement regarding this issue. I look forward to hearing about everyone's experiences once the fix goes out

I'm not, and I've been having the same issue almost as often as the OP. I'm just happy they finally found the problem. Always seems to happen at the most inopportune times.

Yeah I got desynced for 30+ seconds yesterday went from 98% to 60%, somehow didn't die.

I can say for certain that last few days they got some great examples of desyncs to look at and work on thanks to players donating time and effort to work with the team.

Not sure how long it will take to implement but they did see several in real time. It could take days or weeks, don't know, only a Dev could say for sure.
