Thank you. I didn't expected a fix on Easter Sunday lol.

Thanks for the report. Issue is now fixed for the next release.

Unfortunately there are no workarounds here, value of in_gui is simply unreliable up to 2.0.76 due to a bug.

... 1.1.13)

What happened?
It looks like event.in_gui from https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#CustomInputEvent are out of sync for multiplayer. See screen shot.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
It should not desync.

Does it happen ...

... with my logistics or mess up my requests or rotate some inserter.
Basically the request is the disconnect `share_chart` from `friend` status.

There has been some missing in this area that makes it hard to create some flexible multiplayer experiences, thats why this keeps coming up repeatedly.

ok you're right that remote view normally requires radar coverage, but I dug into why players can see everything in my current Platformer run. And found the answer: god controller mode.
The Platformer mod (which Solo Teams is using currently) destroys the player's character entity on spawn. With no ...

Remote view can not view areas that are not actively explored by radar coverage. Force chart sharing is not enabled by default.

So it sounds like you’ve shared charting everywhere when you don’t actually want that.

... cursor visibility into a single boolean. For competitive or semi-cooperative mods, that's not an option.

What I actually need:
A way to make multiplayer cursors visible between forces that are not friends. Something like force.set_cursor_visible(other_force, true), just cursors, nothing else ...

This seems very close to an XY problem.

* Players can only see areas they have active radar coverage of
* Player cursors are only relevant when they select something
* A player doesn't have to have anything selected while viewing any area
* A player can make a pin of any area they want and view it ...

Need an API to allow seeing multiplayer cursors even when other forces are not your friends.

I am actively working on a mod called Solo-Teams (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/solo-teams) that facilitates multiplayer mode.
One of the issues I am facing is that I need players to be able to see who is ...

... Those are clearly intended for the player only, just as how trash slots are meant for the local logistic network to be taken away.

Ignoring multiplayer griefing (there are far worse things someone could do), having weapons, ammo and armor be taken away by your own robots is not what I would ...

Well. I'm confused. It looks like the right log that the message indicated I was to upload. Was there another named file I was supposed to upload. I no longer have the log from the time it died on March 31st. But I do have the dump file. Or at least what is named factorio-dump-previous.dmp

But as ...

... The main issue is, I don't know if the string output from converting the LuaRecord is deterministic. That is to say, different clients in a multiplayer game may see different numbered IDs, and accessing them would lead to desyncs.

It'd be nice to have some comment about whether this is safe to ...

You uploaded the wrong log.

Followup... Appears to have been a memory problem. Tried loading one of the autosaves and got the message "out of memory" closed some tabs, then tried loading the original saved game again, and it worked.

Trying to load a previously saved and working game results in a "and unexpected error" dialog pops up.

Tried a second time, got the same message. Attaching log file.

The new server is slower.

We do now use a gameserver, fps Drops do not happen again even with larger bases now.

Any clue why it is now working via gameserver?

Hello, when FPS drop in a multiplayer game but UPS don't (and you are not the host), it usually means that your factory is too large to simulate and there is not enough time to prepare a frame before the next update occurs, so some frames are dropped. Extended biter fights are demanding on performance ...

When trying to use more than 1 icon in the sever name of a multiplayer game loaded from save game, I get the string "[virtual-signal=signal-a" entered in the server name field.

To reproduce:
1. Pick a savegame to host as multiplayer game, click Load
2. Under "Server name:" pick an icon from the icon ...

Ok, got multiple Screenshots and log file + savegame in that rar file
