[MC-70067] server message that a player has left but they are still in game

Chat will show a 'player left" message and tab will no longer show the player but that player is still able to function in-game & interact with blocks while invisible to other players. Logging out & back resolved but it keeps happening. No messages other than the player left appear in the console. When the player logs out to reset, no messages appear.

Does this happen at random or is there a specific set of actions to perform to reproduce?

the players seems to be doing different things when they get kicked (no console message) and, upon reconnecting from their view point, become ghosts. I had one player log back out and wait, after a few minutes the server gave a 'player left' message and they were able to reconnect normally. it was almost as if it never processed the player leaving, allowed the player to reconnect but neither was processed completely.

Don't know if this fits here but I had a server desync of some sort,.. We couldn't see one specific player and he couldn't see us, he was not in the playerlist (tab). He reconnected then everything was fine.

I think that's what Angie experienced too.

exactly only we keep getting it. we hadn't experienced this much block lag or any desyncs until the pre-releases. Wondering if there is anything I can do to ease things or if it is just one of those things 🙂 thanks all!

Yes, it's an issue, I hope Mojang manage to/will fix it later because I think shit will hit the fan if they don't.
Some of us here might be running small servers but I see the big prespective,with servers that have 50 players or more, if we have trouble now, what are they going to have?
(There are a few prerelease issues other than this one that concerns me.)

Agreed. My entire world was corrupted today, server began using more and more ram, soon chunk errors slowly spread across the entire area. Backups failed to load & we started fresh. Glad we are a small group & bounce well. This release is still pretty unstable.

well, it's released... time will tell - fingers crossed!
