Unity 6.2, Netcode 2.6.0

Hi! For some reason my networkobjects do not want to redistribute - Client 3 here is long gone, the only remaining client is Client 10 (me), but for some reason this enemy here isn't getting redistributed to me

#

Huh, having an ownerless object is not really possible. It should default to the session owner. Is client 3 still showing in the connected clients list?

void tide Oct 23, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

#

Had to do a quick new test coz I already ended it, in this case client 1 left, client 2 remained

#

The first image is NetworkManager.Singleton.ConnectedClientsIds displayed in the editor, only client 2 is listed

#

Yet the enemies are still owned by client 1

Sounds like some weird bug. Are you using the Sessions API to start the session?

void tide Oct 23, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

yeah,

                var options = new SessionOptions()
                {
                    MaxPlayers = (int)MAX_PLAYERS,
                    IsPrivate = true,
                }.WithDistributedAuthorityNetwork(Authenticate.Region);

                session = await MultiplayerService.Instance.CreateSessionAsync(options);

and

session = await MultiplayerService.Instance.JoinSessionByCodeAsync(partyCode.value);

Is the network manager using the DA Transport?

void tide Oct 23, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

yeah

#

magic pulsar Oct 23, 2025, 7:49 PM

#

Does it still happen in the DA Quickstart sample scene

#

You can get it from the Multiplayer Center window

void tide Oct 23, 2025, 7:51 PM

#

Lemme see

void tide Oct 23, 2025, 8:33 PM

#

Not sure which one you mean that would be DA compatible 🤔

magic pulsar Oct 23, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

in the quickstart hosting section of the Multiplayer Center

void tide Oct 23, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

Oh hmm I don't have the hosting tab there

magic pulsar Oct 23, 2025, 9:28 PM

#

oh change the hosting model to Distributed Authority in the recommendation tab

void tide Oct 23, 2025, 9:40 PM

#

Ah, thx mustve missed that, I'll have to come back to this 2morrow because it's getting quite late here

void tide Oct 24, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

The sample works entirely correctly 🤔

#

I think I found it? 🤔 The big thing that's different from how we spawn stuff vs the sample is that we do TrySetParent() afterwards

#

If I don't set the parent it's fixed

magic pulsar Oct 24, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

void tide If I don't set the parent it's fixed

That would be a bug then. if the object doesnt despawn with the parent, owner should default back to the session owner or get redistributed

void tide Oct 24, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

Yeah, the parent doesn't despawn, it's owned by the session owner - In short the game is a room-based dungeon crawler and enemies get parented to their room, mostly just for making the hierarchy more organized, no real mechanical value

magic pulsar Oct 24, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

void tide Yeah, the parent doesn't despawn, it's owned by the session owner - In short the...

So the issue is when the current session owner leaves. the objects that were parented the room are not changing owners? Do the Rooms show the correct owners?
