Kentor shared this bug 43 days ago
Need More Information

Hi guys!


The Laser Antennas are not connecting in multiplayer intermittently.


i found it reported at least two times but could never be replicated or the posters went silent.:

it is keeping players from being able to rely on laser antennas for connections in multiplayer games.

i can replicate it quite reliably on Steam #EU2. occurs often with newly printed antennas, but can also happen to existent ones.


if you want you could get back to me about it. ingame (kento) or on discord (kento9823).


would be a pleasure helping you.

Hello Kentor,

Thank you for reaching out to us on our support forum.

As you may have noticed, those closed threads are quite old, so could you kindly share more details about this issue? Specifically, did you happen to notice this issue occurring previously (before the release of the 'Contact' update), or has it reappeared since then?

Could you also provide the steps to reproduce the issue and describe the observed behavior? We would greatly appreciate it if you could share a screen recording/video showing the issue, as well as a blueprint of the grid used to reproduce the issue on the server. Additionally, including the log file from when the issue occurred would be very helpful.

  • You can access your blueprints files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Blueprints. Select the correct folder where your blueprint is saved (local or cloud), zip the file and attach it here.
  • You can access your log files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Kind Regards,

Keen Software House: QA Department

Thanks for getting back to me.

1. Yes the issue is very old, i have it since laser antennas exist in game.

2. It happens when a grid has multiple laser antennas and after the server has been running for a while.

Its hard to reproduce cause it is so intermittent and i dont know what triggers it.

When i take a bp of the bugging grid and antennas and paste them in creative it is working fine again sadly :(

I will try get further informations and let you know, and will record the bug in action.


thanks

I took a video to explain it. blueprint that i took attached.

its 19:12 and the logs last update was at 16:00, i dont know whats up with that but added all the logs updated today, bug video recording started at 18:30


After server restart one is able to connect everything up again.

If you want you can try it out on #EU2 on those antennas for yourself.


greetings and thank you for taking your time for this, i love your work.

Happens all the time. Not something you can do create in a creative world. Laser antennas connect like normal but wont show up in the remote access list until the server restarts. Its been happening for years and it's common for any player that regularly plays and actually uses laser antennas and other connecting blocks.

i need this to be fixed once and for all. this needs to work for us and for future engineers.


same goes for intermittent grid-not-reachable when connected to multiple drones. will file a bug report for that soon hopefully.

will help however i can
