Ogre <character Name>

[leverage]

For the past week or two, not sure exactly when it first started, I have been having problems camping from one account/character to another using Ogre <CharacterName>. It works most of the time, but about 20% of the time it will camp and log out to the login page, and fail to log in to the other account. I will just see it sitting on the login screen with this error message in the console:

17:41:47: Ogre: Not at Login Scene - /camping out.
17:42:17: Ogre: Failed to camp to the Login Scene.

I've never had any problems with this in the past, and it just started about a week or two ago (that I noticed). It seems to happen more when I've been on one character for a long period of time and then try to switch to another toon. In those instances, it goes through fine if I type the command a second time after it fails (as it's already at the loginscene anyways). I don't know if it's a lag/latency issue, but I should have 10s between logging out and getting to the loginscene (since it throws the error after 30s, and 20s is used up in /camping), and it never has seemed to take that long to get to the login. Either way, this is a new problem for me, as it only ever failed rarely before when I had extreme latency (lots of packetloss, high ping) and I haven't had anything like that recently.

I thought I read something about some notes recently about ogre camp, so I'm wondering if that is why the past week or so it's acting like this.

Shouldn't be related to ogre camp, because nothing uses ogre camp (other than typing ogre camp into the console). Typing Ogre <Charname> still uses internal stuff to do the camping. I'll see if I can reproduce this... without being able to I'm not sure I can fix it.

Well I only brought up ogre camp because it was mentioned something changed with verifying you are at loginscene:
"Refactored some code where it determines if you're at the login screen"

I thought it might be related because it started happening very recently. I can't give any instructions on how to reproduce it, as it happens seemingly randomly to me, but I camp between accounts a lot and so it is very noticeable recently for me.

Yea, that refactored was for when the bot is initially loaded. For example, if you type "ogre" while at the login screen, it is ignored and nothing happens.

To be clear, what you're doing is this:
You are logged into PlayerA, you then type in the console "ogre PlayerB", and you camp out to loginscreen, then get the error "17:42:17: Ogre: Failed to camp to the Login Scene."
Is that correct?

Yea that's what I am doing, on one character, then typing ogre PlayerB, and it begins to camp out. I haven't been paying attention to the window when it's happened before to know where it was failing so I decided to just do some tests to see if I can get more info.

I managed to get it to happen a few times after numerous tries, and it is actually failing before it completely camps out. The problem seems to be some weirdness with my characters randomly sitting there in game after the 20s countdown ends, upwards to 15-20s more. They will just have a (camping) above their head, no more countdown, and the in game 20, 15, 10, and 5s camp chat text will have already occurred normally (in the first 20s of the camp, like normal). It isn't normal lag, as my ping/packetloss are normal and I can issue in game commands fine with immediate responses and even "abort" the camp if I move around in that 15-20s before it finally exits. The game simply doesn't attempt to exit for a good 15s after the normal countdown is done. But it randomly happens, and I haven't a clue why.

So I guess it isn't a thing with ogre, just some random weirdness with my characters. As to why it's just now happening, I don't know, nothing is different on my end. Would it be possible for ogre to recheck again if I am on the login screen after another 20-30s before it completely aborts, instead of just giving up after 30s?

With next patch (no eta): It will be 18.079
If it fails to make it to the login screen after the first 30 seconds, it will keep checking for another 30 seconds.
