Remote controlling vehicles no longer works. about cataclysm-dda

Failed to repeat.

A guess is that the reporter got confused by the limited indications provided. After taking control of the vehicle any movement commands are performed by the vehicle, not the PC. The only subtle indication of this being the case is the appearance of the speed indicator on the side bar.

I coundn't reproduce it on the new save too. And no, i didn't get confused by the output, i've used remote control before. It indeed just disconnects right after connecting, but for some reason only on this save on my machine. I don't know what's happening, tbh. I've tried to debug it myself on the new save with gdb, but it just works as intended there. Yet on my main installation both RC car and vehicle remote controlling are broken.

It kinda looks like some kind of desynchronisation, idk...

[PatrikLundell]

OS difference? Executable version difference? Library differences?

I don't know what could be desynchronized. As far as I know there's only a single game thread (fortunately, given the amount of trouble caused even without having to deal with synchronization of multiple thread and the associated vague symptoms of bugs).
