Hi, we recently met a problem in MP after someone died. Once you respawned, you're unabled to place/select/delete any item in some close areas near your character (3 or 4 tiles on the left side , 2 tiles all around you). If you try to place items (as belts) you don't have the item placement on the ground, but the icon and you can't place it.

It happens for every player who died and respawned, and disapeared once you reload game and reconnect. As a problem -among others- you can't select your train loco while you are in it, you have to select it ant start it before jumping in^^

I'll try to join a screenshoot when i'll be back home after work (working hard )

Otherway, we had a quite long 4 players session, and excepting desync on loading map, it was stable, so good job, keep it on that way!

Edit : screenshoots, on the 2nd I can't place the belt, I just have the icon

We(myself, DrNick, Xterminator and Oninaig) have been experiencing this in our PvP series. It's very frustrating, please fixed for next release.

Do you have the save where it happens? I tried to kill the character and he could build after respawn without a problem, and we also died several times in our testing game yesterday, and we never encountered it.

It happens in the save I posted here, if you still have it.

It is probably related to some of the mods, Could you provide me the mods folder?

Glad someone posted this.. it is quite frustrating..

Thanks for looking into it

The mods we're using are the Time Display mod in the link above, and the PvP mod here. There's also a control.lua in the Chokepoint scenario, which I've attached. It should be noted that this problem didn't happen in 0.11.14

Edit: I've just tested it without any mods on a brand new map and it happens 100% of the time.
Steps:
I started a new, unmodded map.
Had somebody join the game.
They immediately killed me with the pistol.
After respawn, I had the bug.

Ok, I wasn't able to reproduce it in 0.11.17, but I was able to reproduce it in 0.11.16. There seems to be broken center window that is invisible and is blocking the view. There were a lot of fixes and additions regarding these multiplayer windows so it is fixed in 0.11.17.

Perfect! Thankyou.

I praise thee
