Description

As detailed in the linked UDN thread, if a server doesn't receive a network packet from a client in 1.5 seconds, it sets the client connection's ViewTarget to null. This will cause dropped reliable multicast RPCs due to a ViewTarget null check on in UIpNetDriver::ProcessRemoteFunction. Probably can't remove that check due to the issue in this thread: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/97569/client-cant-join-a-server-if-server-is-running-rel.html

Should at least make the 1.5 seconds configurable, and maybe consider whether we need it at all.

Have Comments or More Details?

There's no existing public thread on this issue, so head over to Questions & Answers just mention UE-24772 in the post.
