Frequent RenderTime before m_StartTimeConsumed error logs

[jay-tux]

I'm getting the following error a lot in the console (with different float values, obviously):

[Netcode] renderTime was before m_StartTimeConsumed. This should never happen. renderTime is 12.2774583677451, m_StartTimeConsumed is 12.3562192954915
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object)
Unity.Netcode.NetworkLog:LogError (string) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@1.1.0/Runtime/Logging/NetworkLog.cs:34)
Unity.Netcode.BufferedLinearInterpolator`1<single>:Update (single,double,double) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@1.1.0/Components/Interpolator/BufferedLinearInterpolator.cs:207)
Unity.Netcode.Components.NetworkTransform:Update () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@1.1.0/Components/NetworkTransform.cs:1207)

Any idea what could cause this/fix this?

I also see this error in 1.7.1 and I think it is in relation to NetworkTransform.Teleport (and possibly re-parenting? not sure about that bit)

I see it in clusters intermittently using two Unity Editors and Parrel Sync.

[hwedwards]

Did you two find a solution to this? I am seeing that it might be coming from the BufferedLinearInterpolator class from Netcode. Maybe there might be a fix in adjusting the interpolation settings? Will investigate

Im getting the same

This only happens in the build for me tho

[alexboisselle-rd]

Having this issue as well. I'm also using ParallelSync and Relay and kinda pulling my hair out.

It happens when changing scenes from a basically empty scene with a network manager to another scene. After x amount of time, this crash happens. If I host the relay and join the relay from the other direction, it will not crash, but after 2 or 3 runs it'll crash and I reverse order again.

Really flaky and difficult to deal with crash. Unbelievably bad error message as well that doesn't help at all. Sometimes i'll be fine 10 runs in a row, sometimes it takes 10 trys to work once.

[NoelStephensUnity]

This specific issue (regarding logging of this error message) has been resolved in NGO v2.3.0. where there was a complete overhaul of the BufferedLinearInterpolator<T>.
