Additional comments:

While it might be common for other games, I personally believe it is not the best approach when handling the signal stale/loss cases, especially if the user input here is quite limited with several interactions.

I think the game client should preserve the inputs of the user in some temporary buffers in this case, and send them only when the connection is online. The server side, on its side, should not make "let's hope the client will reconnect soon and until then perform the last action" assumptions/actions.

I am not familiar with the implementation of the game, but I do not see how the delay would be introduced.

Regarding the bug. An issue in program does not necessarily mean it is a bug. It could be an unoptimized part, it could be bad approach to things, which, it seems like, is the case here.

So, to conclude in one sentence:
Is it the most convenient and cheapest approach? Maybe, depending on the implementation.
Is it the best and most reliable approach? I do not think so.

Hi Jose,

It seems like you did not completely get what I was trying to say.
Why does the server keep getting the input button command, if there is a connection issue? How is that possible? The previous aswer seemed more reasonable for me, because it stated that the server remembers the last input and keeps doing it until the connection comes back.

And If the alternative way to implement it you said is the only one(I highly doubt about that), then there's a clear issue with the game, which is a big but rare one, and I understand why you would not investigate it.
