Merry Fragmas 3.0 stopped working

Unity Engine
1

I followed the latest merry fragmas tutorial as close as possible, and about 70/80% of the way I go to run a build and I can’t spawn on client, I look at log and find tons of these errors.

Spawn scene object not found for 1
UnityEngine.Networking.NetworkIdentity:UNetStaticUpdate()

and once in a while one of these.
Did not find target for sync message for 3
UnityEngine.Networking.NetworkIdentity:UNetStaticUpdate()

I don’t get why this is happening, as i even went as far as re pasting in the code. and lastly I thought maybe it had to deal with particles, so i removed them all. I could post the dropbox of this project zipped up, but I don’t know if unity forums would want me to do so. a similar error happened to me when I followed another mp tutorial a while back. I am using latest public release. 5.5.0f3. I’d like to know why I keep having these issues. Thanks.

Yep, had this same issue and found the solution.

I think there is actually a bug in Unity.

But there is a work around :slight_smile:

Remove and re-add the network identity component on the player prefab. Make sure to hit apply :smile:

I found the solution in another thread and applied it to this tutorial.

I’ve made a new thread for all Merry Fragmas 3.0 questions:

I have the same error message, but my progress was towards the end of the 2nd video. So it was only until after I did the IK for the hands in the 2nd video (https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/multiplayer-networking/merry-fragmas-30-ui-graphics-and-animations?playlist=29690), then I started getting these errors. But prior to that step, everything worked properly the same way as the tutorial.

I get them when I click on the Network Manager in the Hierarchy. The errors keep on repeating forever even if I don’t hit the play button in the editor.

Other symptoms:

If I use the standalone instance as the host and the editor as the LAN client:

  • In the Hierarchy, neither of the players network objects appear.
  • In the Scene view, none of the networked players appear (only the one inside the Construct scene appears).
  • In the Game view of the editor (which is the LAN client), none of the players appear (only the one inside the Construct scene appears).

If I use the editor as the host and the standalone instance as the LAN client:

  • In the Hierarchy, ALL the players appear.
  • In the Scene view, ALL the players appear.
  • In the Game view of the editor (which is the LAN host), ALL of the players appear.
  • (please see the screenshot in the attachment) The FirstPersonController script and the FirstPersonCharacter of the remote/not local player are not active, even if the PlayerBehaviorInNetworking script (in the turorial, this script is called “Player”) has them toggled to be active.

For both versions:

  • The local player can move, can shoot things, and the kill count increases if the raycasts hit the “remote” player.
  • There is this harsh sound like a TV with static. This sound stops when the local player’s “feet” leave the ground (like when the player is jumping).
  • The remote player is floating in the air, but the idle animation plays. When the “remote” player is shot, it does not play the “death” animation, and just disappears (previously, the death animation was able to play).
  • The editor’s console has this error message (occurred once):
    "
    IndexOutOfRangeException: NetworkReader:ReadByte out of range:NetBuf sz:34 pos:34
    UnityEngine.Networking.NetBuffer.ReadByte () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Extensions/Networking/Runtime/NetworkBuffer.cs:36)
    ".
  • The editor’s console has these warnings (multiple of them):

  • Whichever is the LAN client, the first person camera is not turned on & the player who is the LAN client cannot move, and floats in the air in the screen of whoever is the host.

This error message comes out sometimes, but not all the time:
“<RI.Hid> Failed to create device file: 2 The system cannot find the file specified.”

Despite the timing and circumstances of when I started getting the error messages, the error messages seem to lean more towards a networking issue, but I’m not sure. I tried looking online but those solutions seem either unrelated to my issue, or they are just questions in the Unity forums with no answers (such as this one).

It appears that NetworkReader:ReadByte is an array, and something is trying to access the outside of that array. Is there a way to go into the code to see what’s trying to do that? Is this even a good idea??

On Unity 5.5.0f3, running Windows10, if that helps.

Before that, everything worked the same as the videos. So it was only until after I did the IK for the hands in the 2nd video, then I started getting these errors.

Things that I’ve tried to troubleshoot:

I tried refreshing everything in the editor, applied the changes to the prefabs, and saved everything. Then rebuilt the standalone. Is there a cache or something that’s keeping the older version of the scripts? If that’s the case, how do we refresh that so it has the latest version?

Any help is totally welcome. Thanks in advance!! :slight_smile:

I would suggest either reposting this into my new thread, as Mike Geig is watching it or tweet him your post above to get his attention. Besides that I cannot offer any suggestions at this time as I’m not up to that part yet :wink: Also, are you using the Space soldier asset or Stealth?

Hi @richardboegli , thanks for creating the other thread. Sorry for replying to this thread. When I did a search for "
IndexOutOfRangeException: NetworkReader:ReadByte out of range:NetBuf sz:34 pos:34
UnityEngine.Networking.NetBuffer.ReadByte () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Extensions/Networking/Runtime/NetworkBuffer.cs:36)" and for “host id out of bound id {0} max id should be greater 0 and less than {0}” this thread showed up, and not yours.

(Also, I spent a long time gathering all the data, and didn’t refresh this page on time to see your replies lol!)

Anyway, I had reposted my question from here into your thread, so everything’s all in one place.
