DS - Remote Camera disconnecting

Zephyris_13 shared this bug 4 years ago
Solved

Steps to reproduce -


  1. Place an antenna at a base
  2. Place another antenna at a second base (make sure the bases are 10km apart)
  3. Set both antennas range to 11km
  4. Place a camera at one of the bases, and try to access it from the other base
  5. Player gets kicked out of camera view

Alternate steps -

  1. Same as above up to and including step 3
  2. Place a ship with an antenna, camera and remote control about 4km away from one of the bases
  3. Set ship antenna to 5km
  4. Go to furthest base and remote control the ship (and view ship camera)
  5. At a certain point (around the Server's Sync Distance) player will be kicked out of camera view

This issue I managed to replicate every time, and makes drone practically useless

This is still a problem... I hope we can see a fix for it soon. It breaks my heart not to be able to visually monitor remote outposts/stations with cameras.

Interestingly, if the remote grid has a remote control block, you can view any cameras that are assigned to the toolbar of the remote control block without any issues by "controlling" the grid and using the toolbar instead of trying to view the camera through the remote terminal. You can also control turrets on the remote grid and use them as cameras. These are some workaround I'm using while waiting for a fix on this :)

i have the exact same problem with remote controling a drone and it seems to kick you out of the camera view if you press 2 buttons at the same time... so when i press 'SPACE + D' to fly up and right, ill get kicked out and ill have to press the toolbar button for the camera again.

Just dropping in to say that I am having this issue as well. Attempting to connect to my main earth base from the moon and while I can connect to the terminal just fine, if I try to "view" through a camera it will allow me to see through the camera for a few seconds and then kicks me off the connection.

Ran into the same issue with a drone camera docked to a remote base, but this workaround of using the remote control block first worked. Thanks for sharing it!
