this only happens when trying to load into a mission - I am able to load into the station.

Thank you for the report! I think this is most likely caused by the same issue as #10497 and #11261. We've got a fix coming up for the issue in a future patch. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[14536781456145306134508610346872457245]

#11468

I believe this is different for a few reasons:

1. My system is Linux and on windows i have no problem with the same servers | this is Linux's bug
2. the other issue have differ Index number in the errors, mine what ever which server or which way i join it only shows the Index: 18

can someone just confirm and recheck this.

[14536781456145306134508610346872457245]

Now linux is completely broken
you can't even join multiplayer games on almost 90% of the servers
If you are a real developer you should check and verify that linux even works [ArchLinux]

This issue is discussed on steam forums at https://steamcommunity.com/app/602960/discussions/1/3818529563381763285/

Anecdotally, getting a vpn close to the game host fixes the problem. Which indicates it's not just a ping issue, but.. something else.. MTU shenanigans (barotrauma sending out too big of a packet which fails to get through the network and reassembled properly?) is the only thing I can think of...

[Regalis11]

@moxian This issue can occur if the server takes too long to send the up-to-date campaign save to the clients. Getting a VPN closer to the the host could plausibly speed up the file transfers enough to fix the issue.

But in any case, we've got a fix coming up for the issue in the near future (as soon as we get it through our review/QA pipeline and into a hotfix). Sorry for the inconvenience!

[Ksarper]

Please, fix it

[Ksarper]

Any progress?

[Regalis11]

The fix has been reviewed and tested internally now, and it's coming in the next patch (before that, it'll be included in the unstable build, possibly even later today).

[Ksarper]

Coroutine "MultiplayerCampaign.DoInitialCameraTransition" has failed

No changes, still the same

[Tinteex]

same for me.

can you please fix it... its so annoying. our community rp attendance dropped because a third of people get kicked out per round...

[Regalis11]

I'm sorry to hear the issue is still present. :/ If the latest patch didn't fix it, the problem must be somewhere else than what we suspected.

@Ksarper @Tinteex what's the exact error message in your case? "MultiplayerCampaign.DoInitialCameraTransition" has failed" essentially just means some error occurred during the "camera transition" (camera zooming in on your character) at the start of the round, but the actual error should also be listed in the debug console. Is it the same "Owned submarine index was out of bounds" error mentioned in the first post, or something else? If you have a save file where this occurs consistently, could you please send it here so we could give it a test?

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, this is a frustrating issue to us as well because we still haven't been able to find a way to get it to occur at our end. :/

Thanks for the reply, here's my save:
Save file.zip

Just to complete the picture... Somehow magically the problem disappears if I send my save to any other player. He just have to host the game and he can return me back save and then the problem disappears, but after about 2 rounds the error returns.

We were already sure that the problem was on my side, then the error started to appear again, no matter who hosts.

I apologize if this looks unreadable I am poorly familiar with the text formatting on the github.

I'm having this same issue i think. I'm on windows, but getting the same "Owned submarine index was out of bounds. " error.
when he joins my lobby he gets the error. We've played together for past 6 months (prior to the release). Each of us is able to play with other groups, so not sure who/where this issue is.

Tested against 1.0.13.2 (On master)

The first provided save loads fine initially. but when docking back to the outpost caused inumerous errors with linked entities and debug asserts.

Specifically Hull.cs shared 1142 and erroring on:

System.NullReferenceException
  HResult=0x80004003
  Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

the second save seems fine (?) until reaching an outpost however I did not run it with the mods as its awkward/difficult to reconstruct all of those mods when there are so many (without say, a mod list to go with it for both the mod workshop entries and the order they are loaded), I did travel at least to 4 locations without issue in the current version. It could be related to the mods used however.

Errors did trigger once I got it to an outpost via togglecampaignteleport, it kicked me from the game due to debug asserts going off however it appeared to be the same issue.

[steeb79]

still having the same issue, tried via vpn and issue persists.

was able to join from a different computer in the same household

[mrharback]

Having the same issue on Windows. Worked just fine before, now unable to join with friends. Just says the same
"Error in ClientRead. Owned submarine index was out of bounds. Index: 4, submarines:"
every time when joining.

Trying with friends right now. Same "Owned Submarine Index was out of bounds. Index:4, Submarines. All running v1.0.20.1, vanilla, fresh installs. Running a Zephyrus G15 laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 4800 HS Radeon, 16gb ram.
Only seems to be on campaign, have joined sandboxes fine and don't receive any submarine issues. Does also seem to reset whatever character chosen into assistant regardless of profession picked

Have tried:
Verifying files, unsubscribing from all mods on all ends, fresh installs, wiping steam Common files, disabling firewalls for Barotrauma.
Attached is a screenshot of the issue.

@Regalis11

still having this issue after months, if I can help providing more info / reproducing the error please let me know

@steeb79

Sorry to hear that. :/ If you could provide us the save file this occurs in, it might give us some more clues for diagnosing this. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!

Hey, no need to share a save I think? I have the same problem and it occurs already with starting a new save game. A fresh game without any mods. We tried even reinstalling the game but nope!

Me and my buddy can't play the game anymore, could you give us an update on what the status is?

• We got the furthest by having my buddy shut down the game and rejoining as a spectator. This way he can join the game and just play it I guess?
• However, once I start my first mission. He doesn't even get into it anymore. restarting the game doesn't work at this point because he can't join as spectator.

@steeb79 hello Steeb. I might just have fixed my issue by disabling the VPN :D
