Full locker can cause desync

[Dethdeath]

Having more than a certain number of items in your locker can cause a desync when you open it:

The item in question doesn't seem to matter, if you fill up a locker with regular ammo boxes you can get desynced by just opening the locker once or twice in a row.
How many ammo boxes it takes exactly to desync is unclear, but I got it to happen once with just 32 out of the max of 60 that would fit.

My locker during regular gameplay is usually filled with enemy HA weapons that I collect, as well as some glueguns. You cannot fit more than 18 HA weapons into a locker, so even combined with some Lasher ammo, I probably never hit the required number to desync. I think this is true for more players, so this should be a rare issue.

Watching all of those grenades slowly pop into existence in the locker was beautiful.

Is this some sort of awful PostGresQL table size allocation limit? Not likely, but I like PostgresQL from what I know of it. Was fun to set up that server-start auto script.

Locker data is stored in a CLOB so each user gets one row in the table. Unless CLOB's have limits ...

All of the items should be local to the server at the time of opening the locker, and they are already assigned persistent GUID's that should be local to the session, so the client only has to accept the packets that create the items and withstand that effort. It's not a complete desync as movement still tracks and general desyncs only happen on either a specific channel or a specific actor. Since ...711 actually died, his actor is still working; and, since ...711 is still able to move, his session actor is still working; so this may be a channel problem, or it might be an issue on the client. Should be easy to reproduce, just completely mess up your locker, right?

Actually, a question: are the names in the video - ...711 and ...725 - meaningful?

...711 is from an account with 24 characters on it, the max amount, that was used during server stress testing at one point.
...725 is the first character from a second account also used in the same stress testing.

I stumbled upon this desync because I was going to document how various locker loadouts behave on the server over time. As one of my characters recently had its locker wiped for no reason that I could determine.
So I filled up the first locker on ...710 with medkits and desynced, didn't think much of it. Then filled up ...711 with jammer grenades and desynced there too and the rest is history 😛

A new desync, but closely enough related to this one where it might not need its own issue.

So during the birthday event I pressed the wrong button whilst in a reaver and it attempted to load a favorite meant for a wraith. Usually nothing special happens in such instances, especially when the other trunk is smaller than the one from a reaver.

But this wraith loadout was apparently just on the edge of having too many items in a trunk and I desynced after trying to load the reaver loadout I wanted.

These are the favorites that initially caused it:

I copied these onto other characters and at first the desync was easy to reproduce, but then it stopped happening. So I filled an entire reaver trunk full of jammers and tried with that. Results were much more consistent. Nothing happens if you load a vehicle favorite that fills your trunk with jammers, but a desync can happen if you attempt to load any other loadout afterwards.

(jammer trunk pictured below)

It's a partial desync, other players can still be killed by your vehicle and see it move, even though those player's movements aren't updated for you anymore. They can see your voice macros and chat messages, but you cannot see your own or theirs anymore.
If you use /suicide, others will see you dying, but from your own perspective nothing happens.
You cannot see other vehicle favorites loading into your vehicle anymore, but they still do and after you relog it'll have whatever loadout you grabbed last.

So this can happen with MAXes too, which is expected considering their inventory size.

Easiest way to repro this one is to pull a max and fill the inventory up with grenades, then save that as a favorite. Make another favorite that has ammo boxes and switch between these two a few times.
