Nuclear reactor blew up without any blast effects when I was spectating

What happened?

I was spectating, someone was doing the funny, the reactor was set to blow up and since the crew didn't react in time it did.

It was very anti-climactic, there was no flash, no explosion effect, the hull just disappeared.

Thanks for the report! So it only happened once, not consistently or often?

Can confirm explosions sometimes have no particles, glow, or their default "underwaterexplosion" - can happen both in SP & MP, and not exclusive to spectator cam.

Seems like this only happens on some subs when playing multiplayer. I was able to repro this on Azimuth, Barsuk, Kastrull and Typhon by overheating the reactor

Fixed nuclear reactor's explosion effects sometimes not being visible client-side.
The issue might've caused inconsistent behavior in other situations too: the problem here was the items didn't necessarily break in the same order client-side as they did server-side, because the server only marked the items as needing a condition update, and then sent those condition updates in Item.Update, meaning the update order of the items affected the order in which the client receives the updates. In the case of the reactor, the issue was that it only created the explosion if there was fuel inside it when it breaks, and then set the rods to 0% condition. If a client broke the rods before the reactor, the explosion effect wouldn't get executed.

Didn't encounter this anymore after testing, closing.
