[0.17.x] Repeated "shoot select" lag

Post by cogito123 »

Hi, since I remember there was always this kind of weird lagging, when player tries to draw weapon using default C key "Shoot select".
When you hit it repeatedly it teleports you 2 meters back.
When you press it and hold it for a second, then release it - you get "lag boosted", but it looks like game speeds up simulation for half a second.

Here is a video demonstrating the issue:

I'm running latest LTS ubuntu and the issue is only observed in multiplayer vanilla.

That is just caused by leaving latency hiding when shooting. NaB.

I disagree as I very rarely experience lag in factorio multiplayer, this bug is consistent and isn't caused by my ping.

Sadly @Loewchen is right. The game does not hide lag during combat or vehicle driving. But because it's categorized as a "missing feature" it's "not a bug". In any multiplayer game only the host ever gets lag-free shooting and driving, everyone else goes to lag hell (even in local LAN). It's a quite frustrating state of affairs...
