Did this happen during play or directly when you started?

Has your friend haxxed into debug mode somehow?

Had this same problem.
This happened during play when were in arcade and I had to leave and reentered while he was loading the main hub.
No hax in our game session. (maybe a "/netset 1")

It appears to happen when the host resets an area you're in if you're not the host. It split us up and forced me to quit out and re-join.

Hmm... I think I understand what's happening, and to be frank I'm quite shocked! Shocked! I'm also a bit confused that it hasn't happened before, but perhaps I did some semi-related change that altered the zoning behavior.

Apparently when overloading a method, despite the C# language reluctance concerning implicit casts, given both options the game chooses to cast a number into an enum, rather than casting it to a byte! I'm surprised by this, and I'm also surprised that it didn't generate so much as a warning for ambiguity. Since this will 100 % cause trouble in the future, I had to rename one of the overloaded methods.

Well, at least now I know about this mischievous language quirk!

For laymen: Nice find! It will be fixed in the next patch!
