CRYENGINE Forum

I have recently come across a new issue I have not seen before. In a multiplayer LAN game, when the host player dies, they do not respawn at a spawn point from the other players perspective.
I have 6 spawn points spread throughout the relatively simple map. From the hosts perspective, they respawn normally at a spawn point but are not visible to the other players. They can kill the other players but they cannot see it happening. From the other players perspective, the host player seems to spawn around (maybe exactly) at the center of the map. There is no spawn point at that location. The other players can kill the host player at the center location.

I have tried several flow graph iterations ranging from the simple game start connected to spawn on the initial spawn point entity to adding logic to try and force it to go to the spawn points. Does anyone have any ideas for how to fix this issue?

Also, I'm using 5.4 if that makes a difference.

Still working on this. I've figured out that pushing F2 after respawning matches the host and joining players perspectives. I'm hoping there is a better way to do this though.

Check what F2 triggers by going through the defaultprofile.xml in libs/config folder.

The only instance it is mentioned is here:

<!-- Note: If need to use partial same inputs as below while in menu, must be declared above to handle first -->
<!-- below gets sent to flash navigate function -->
<action name="menu_scrollup" onPress="1" keyboard="mwheel_up" />
<action name="menu_scrolldown" onPress="1" keyboard="mwheel_down" />
<action name="menu_fcommand1" onPress="1" keyboard="f1" />
<action name="menu_fcommand2" onPress="1" keyboard="f2" />
<action name="menu_switchtab_left" onPress="1" onHold="1" holdTriggerDelay="0.3" holdRepeatDelay="0.15" keyboard="pgup" xboxpad="xi_shoulderl" ps4pad="pad_l2"/>
<action name="menu_switchtab_right" onPress="1" onHold="1" holdTriggerDelay="0.3" holdRepeatDelay="0.15" keyboard="pgdn" xboxpad="xi_shoulderr" ps4pad="pad_r2"/>

I don't think this would be it though. Whenever I have pressed F2 before, it cycles through the spawnpoints. F2 is a quick fix but I'm still not sure what is causing the problem.

I just tried reinstalling the sample sdk and even using a different version 5.5.2. on both machines that I am using to test multiplayer.

I started a new map only bringing in the layer with the maze walls and floor. Created new spawn points. I still get the same error. There are no lights, no entities, no logic, and no changes to any scripts.

The models of the maze walls can't cause this error, can they? Do I need to wipe CRYENGINE completely from my computers and clean the registry? I'm running out of ideas.

I reinstalled 5.5 and then started a new map and set the objects up from scratch. The issue could have been that I set the maze center at xyz 0,0,0 giving part of the map because coordinates? Either way that issue is fixed. Hope this helps someone later. Keep all maps in the positive xyz

I still have an issue with the HUD showing black boxes where the elements would be. It goes away if I go to the graphics settings and change them (to anything, any change will work).
