This is a super duper strange error. Is this is something that you can routinely recreate?

Basically what is happening here is that it isn't giving the proper data on "do this command soon," but rather is stating to do the command in the past. That is... bizarre. The other errors in the lobby that I'm seeing make sense, but this one I can't duplicate and seems to be some sort of gremlin that exists outside of the lobby, anyway (occasionally people have been seeing this during gameplay).

Any info you have on how to repro this would be welcome, but I'll look into a few things in the meantime that might help.

I started a game with the zenith trader and let it go for 10 minutes without seeing this. It also doesn't trigger on the Zenith Trader being at one of your planets, or buying something from the Trader.

This was something during the lobby itself, I can see because it says "SetupOnly_RequestSetupChanges". Basically when he made the selection in the dropdown it died immediately then trying to tell the game what the dropdown asked for. I doubt it's related to the Zenith Trader specifically.

But the error didn't happen till after the game started, right? Since the game is at frame 2024?

I have put in this code for the next build:

* In the event that for some reason the game tries to queue a GameCommand with an ExecuteOnFrameNumber of -1 (this seems to happen from time to time during the game and now once in the lobby), it will complain at the time of it trying to queue it, and give a stack trace from there, and not actually do the queuing of it.
** This should help us figure out when and why these things are occasionally happening. It's probably related to a pooling error of some sort, but it's hard to be sure. If the commands are valid at this point and then later have ExecuteOnFrameNumber of -1 when being read back, then we know we have a different problem entirely and can approach that from another way. Either way we'll start having more info soon on this rare and elusive error.

"But the error didn't happen till after the game started, right? Since the game is at frame 2024?"

Actually, during the lobby it runs frames as if the game was running. Even when the game is paused, it runs frames. It's not running sim steps DURING those frames, but the host and any clients are communicating back and forth in an ordered fashion. So this is definitely still during the lobby. Or the command got REALLY delayed and that's a whole other issue, but nothing in the stack trace makes me think that was the case.

I am unable to find a way to reproduce it on my end (and in the lobby). I suppose I named the thread wrong since it does not seem to directly be caused by the Zenith Trader.

No worries! It should be fixed now, or at least give us real info next time. Thanks!
