When I open a special container, breach a door anything that starts up the progress bar timer, it sometimes resets nearly midway abruptly (and certainly so that I haven't touch a damn thing or received a hit or anything else that normally resets it). And there's no choice but to retap on the desired object and start the progress bar timer allover again.
It must have something to do with the player prediction and how the client-side and server-side opening process are being sync'd. And there is a bug somewhere in there or perhaps it's a side-effect of some "keyframe" synchro or whatnot, don't know your protocol, might need a 300ms latency to get it to occur, I dunno.
This happens quite frequently. I'd say, roughly one in four or so. The reason I'm complaining is that it is really annoying when it happens in the key container in venomous or the power console in the wasted, because I normally try to get the key before the sandbag hits, but if the opening process is again abruptly interrupted I can't get it opened/turned-off in time and have to run away and then again back to the console. It used to be a burden in scorched, too, but these days I trigger the sandbag earlier in there.
