Steps To Reproduce
  • Start a listen server on any mission.
  • Have another player join the listen server.

Additional Information

This seems to be a regression, other clients were definitely interpolated on listen servers prior to this patch and they are still interpolated on dedicated servers.

Quick note -- This only affects the host of the listen server. Clients that join will see the host and other clients properly interpolated. The host of the listen server will not see any interpolation on players whatsoever. If a client enters a vehicle, the vehicle's movement will be interpolated, but the player's animations still will not be.
