Summary0000200: Packetloss of important informations
DescriptionThis is one of the major problems in this game, isn't it?
Which packets are causing the biggest problems when lost?
- Map changes (causes "wrong map version")
- Player joining/leaving (causes "invisible players")
- Player changing team (causes "colorbug")
- Pauses/Unpauses (Players are being able to MOVE, SCORE etc. if they lost the pause-packet)

Since I've heard this security is already done for the chat, why not add it to these, too?
Maybe use confirmation packets?

Everyone of course knows this, and it feels silly to report. Still it can't hurt to have a room for discussing it.

I can confirm that I noticed some of these bugs before - especially wrong map version and the color bug.

I'm not sure if chat has some sort of "security" stuff though.

One way to solve this would be to let critical packets like these trigger a reply in the client and unless the server receives this reply it will keep sending the information.

Added a bunch of related tickets that might be caused by packetloss.
