Question "[MLAPI] Var data read too far. 1 bytes." When spawning client player prefab

    When joining a server, the client will spawn the player prefab from other players, but will not spawn it's own prefab.

    I get

    [MLAPI] Var data read too far. 1 bytes.

    [MLAPI] Var data read too little. 15 bytes.

    [MLAPI] Failed to create object locally. [PrefabHash=0]. Hash could not be found. Is the prefab registered?

    So it seems the data stream is getting messed up somehow, but how? I tested a simpler player prefab and it spawned fine, what cold I have possibly done to the prefab to get this kind of behaviour?

    Full errors:

    How many and what type of NetworkVariables do you have on your player prefab? If you are using a custom INetworkSerialiazable that could be causing issues like that if there is a mistake in your serialization code.

    Besides that the only thing which comes to mind which could be causing this is a rare race condition we found which corrupts the data stream on the client while deserializing.

    Thank for the reply!

    Turns out I had make some NetworkedArrays of a custom INetworkSerialiazable class for testing purposes and removing those fixed the problem. It's weird though because the problem started happening long after I had created them (an update maybe?), anyway it's fixed, thanks for the suggestions.
