My friend and i play in a lan world that i host, but his id keeps changing. One of the reasons behind this is probably because my network is a patchy one so its sometimes online and sometimes offline. But its still really annoying!
Why is this still a problem, why do players get different id's when playing online or offline?

Yeah, i guess i'm talking about UUID's..
Its really quite annoying! Is there really no way to keep it static?
Is there really no way to keep it static?
there is no way for the game to know a player's actual UUID while offline
there is your awnser
As I said, it would compromise security. If it was static, people would find ways to clone sessions and/or spoof UUIDs.
If you're talking about UUIDs, there is no way for the game to know a player's actual UUID while offline (without compromising security). When playing offline, a false UUID is generated as a substitute.
