Rooms are being disposed / or websocket being closed without warning

[stats]

An issue exists where a WebSocket connection will be lost and the game room will be closed.

Not sure why the WebSocket is being lost.

It is suspected that it has something to do with the websocket ping/pong. Some debugging code will need to be added to either Colyseus-Unity3d or to the Colyseus server to figure out if it is the client or server which is closing the connection.

[stats]

After refactoring and updating Colyseus to 12.0 this issues does not appear to be happening any more.

[stats]

This issue is still occurring.

The potential fix for this is as follows.

If a client does not willingly disconnect (i.e. loses the websocket)

• Keep the room and all objects processing for 5 to 10 seconds (i.e. delay clearing the player object and disposing of the room for 5 to 10 seconds.)
• Have the client attempt to immediately try and reconnect back to the room where the connection was lost.

[stats]

Added code to the server to allow a reconnection for 5 seconds if a connection was lost without being consented.

[stats]

The reconnect appears to work. There were some visual entities added to the screen on reconnect. Changed the client to use uuid instead of ship objects when creating or removing items. More testing is needed to verify this fixes the issue.
