[for 0.16] [0.15] Reconnecting to a paused server creates ghost player

Post by Redominus »

I hope It's not reported because I couldn't find a previous report.
The bug happens also in 0.14.22+.
When a client re-enters a paused server by him, it generates a ghost character with same name but empty inventory. To recover the original character the server must be unpaused at least once and reconect.
Server: Factorio 0.15.2 Steam Win 10 playing the game; not headless. Only non default config: Everybody can pause
Client: Factorio 0.15.2 Steam Win 10

Steps:
-Launch server
-Connect client
-Pause with client
-Disconnect client
-Reconnect client
-Now the pause message shows "<unknown-username> has paused the game" and the character is another one. Moreover, the blueprint users dropdown shows two entries for the same user.

Thanks for the report,

I can only reproduce this issue:
-Now the pause message shows "<unknown-username> has paused the game" and the character is another one. Moreover, the blueprint users dropdown shows two entries for the same user.

Just curious, does the message literally use the string "<unknown-username>"?

Does this still happen? When I try to reproduce it it seems to work fine for me.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
