Bug: Window focus req before connect

Post by Posts »

OS: Ubuntu(linux) 7.10
Spring version: current release
Lobby client: SpringLobby v0.0.1.10110

1. I'm spectator, game hasn't started yet

2. I go afk

3. Battle starts

4. Computer has black screen (maybe screen saver)

5. in game chat "force?" "yes he is spec"

6. I get on my computer click on black screen and see the first "connecting..." + failure long after the game has started

Problem: its waiting for me to click / focus on the window before it connects

Solution: don't wait

Are you connecting to a game that is behind a NAT or something when you yourself are behind one?

I'm behind NAT (normal wireless router)

Name of host is 'Springie', don't think there is a NAT issue here.

something i should have added earlier: this randomly happens, wild guess: 1 in 5 games

i'm unable to reproduce this by constantly starting a sinlge player game, but i've had this same bug occur many times.
