Just some notes
- Initial idea is that this has something to do with dropped data somewhere (but where!).
- It seems (relatively?) unlikely to be threading issue, it is at least too consistent for that.
- It seems to happen more with many bots playing.
- When it happens for shield, the client JS oddly is smart enough to stop the shield animation, but not to remove (what appears to be) the previous frame of the animation itself. That might point at an issue with the order messages are sent to the client.
On an unrelated journey, I found:
I could not find where this magic '50' number comes from, however the presence of an upper limit that leads to internal queues dropping data at least sounds worth investigating further
The magic number comes from shrev itself. EventChannel is a just a fixed-size ring buffer
Sometimes the boosting/ missile flying sound keeps playing.
