Bug #93

Drop Pod Timer Inconsistency: Time Increase When Final Player Enters

Status:	Open
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	smileyhead on November 22, '24
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	S05.06

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open/join a multiplayer lobby
2. Have the host enter the Drop Pod
3. Wait until the timer reaches <5 seconds left
4. Have the final player enter the Drop Pod
5. Observe the timer increasing back to 5 seconds
6. The mission will start as per the original timing, but with the timer displaying >0 seconds left

Explanation

When the host of a lobby enters the Drop Pod in the Space Rig, it starts a countdown to the start of the mission. If the timer still has >5 seconds left when the final player enters, it will reduce to 5 seconds, however, this also works the other way, INCREASING the time left on the timer. The actual time is still counted correctly, resulting in situations where, for example, the mission starts with 3 seconds still (visibly) left, which looks strange.
