character.ragdoll mods crash multiplayer servers
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Mods that add extra joints to the default character.ragdoll, such as the "improved reforger ragdolls" mod from the workshop, will crash or cause extreme lag to a multiplayer server if a non-host player becomes a ragdoll by dying or becoming incapacitated.

When the server host is ragdolled no issues occur, so the crash never happens in singleplayer. In a multiplayer game however, a non-host player ragdoll will always crash the server or cause extreme lag. As such, server owners cannot run ragdoll mods without experiencing frequent crashes.

If character.ragdoll is modified but does not add any extra joints from default, the crash does not occur.

Logs are included in 'additional information'.

Hello jahpeg.
The mod creators will have to fix the issue on their end.
Regards,
Geez

The mod cannot be fixed because the problem is an engine issue. That is the entire point of this post.

This is not a bug report about a specific mod, this is a report about a problem with Enfusion currently preventing the mod (and others like it) from being fixed.

Please read the original post carefully. This is not resolved.

Hello again, the links to the mods are dead. Can you please upload them to the feedback tracker itself? Also please provide a mod version with the issue so we can test it on our end.

My bad on the logs, I've uploaded them to the feedback tracker as requested.

Thank you, the next 1.2.1 update should contain a fix for this problem.
