Entity synchronization crashing clients before `game` interface is initialized #25

Closed andrewmcwatters closed 9 years ago

andrewmcwatters commented 9 years ago

In v1.0.0-beta naive entity synchronization was addressed by sending entitySpawned payloads after a player connected. It's recently been discovered that sending these payloads before the client has initialized the game interface causes a crash in engine.shared.entities with the entitySpawned payload handler.

This critical bug affects all multiplayer Grid games and is scheduled to be fixed tonight.

Didn't have the time to address this on the 17th, bugfix ETA is this upcoming weekend.
