Please fix the sandbox bug already!

There is download link at Mods Portal below every mod. You’ll need vromfs unpacker though. Ask here at forum for tools to extract your data from vromfs file.

Should be reported to Community Bug Reporting System with a link to this topic. I see now why player may exit lobby room (to change squads profiles) and what happens (re-entering blocks and randomizes team selection).

Am I blind or is there also no search bar on the mods portal? Like if I want to search “music” or “WW1” there’s not even a place to type it?

there used to be one.

but it wasn’t really working.
( like… it sort of worked, but only with # … and you had no space to put )

It had the # thing. I didnt even notice that they removed it because it was useless. Why remove it when they could have fixed it?

maybe they will reintroduce it better

but… i don’t know. and that’s the hopium speaking.

keeps me going though.

Additional comment.

There is a situation where it may be easier to reproduce this issue#1,

There are two teams in the lobby, allies on the left | axis on the right

One case is that when there are fewer players on one side, entering the room will be automatically arranged to one of the sides in the lobby with fwer players, or automatically arranged from left to right, regardless of the player’s previous team.

Since the players in a custom games are dynamic in and out, having more on one side and fewer on the other is almost random and occurs frequently.

For example: left allies (3) | right axis (6)

When an axis player exits the lobby and re-enters, he will be automatically placed on the left allies in the lobby, but when entering the game it will be shown that he belongs to the axis team. At this time, there will be a high probability that he will be blocked and unable to deploy.

But this isn’t exactly the only situation in which cause this bug occurs. Even if you are on the same team, you may be blocked.

Yet this might be a test case help to reproduce.

This issue also seems to be more likely to occur when your squad is still alive in battle the last time you quit or re-enter.

Additional comment

The main thing we care about as a player is getting back in the room and continue playing normally. Considering that the maximum length of the player array in storage is currently 128, as the clue-b case mentioned above,

Since when in-battle 128 array overflowed, those dropped players does would be able to get rid of issue#1, but issue#2 still automatically throw him to a random team and factions which he can’t choose his factions and profiles in lobby

I think it is possible to set a timer after the player has quit to completely clear the player’s abnormal data in the battlefield and scoreboard.

Personally, I think such a solution is acceptable if there are such side effects, the most important thing is to place the player on the right team and let him continue to play, But should allowing him to switch team or profiles manually in lobby.

This is up to dev and designer

It was removed a few weeks ago because it doesn’t work propertly, but it’s back today and it seems work fine.

Now he searches by the words in the description.
