Hi, all clients needs to be on canary to use this feature. You also need to enable the population with the previous convar.

Hi! I'm the only one on the server and I'm in canary. I'm using sv_experimentalOneSyncPopulation true. With this convar disabled the population works fine.

What is this feature supposed to do? I thought the AI are already sync'd?

It's "OneSync", has nothing to do with population sync. This new convar replaces the old onesync_population convar

It fixes the fact that if you turn off population (i.e. set onesync_population false) it will also disable the length hack which is what extends object ids from 8192 to 65535

Any reproduction steps?

I have

set onesync on
sv_maxclients 48
set onesync_population "true"
set sv_experimentalOneSyncPopulation "true"

and population is shown up fine.

I fixed the issue by using the set command. Previously, I was using sv_experimentalOneSyncPopulation true, but after changing to set sv_experimentalOneSyncPopulation true, the population appeared correctly. This is strange because other Convars, like sv_endpointPrivacy, work normally without using the set command.

issue

Why do you need to try this if the onesync population is already on by default without using any convar? Since you are leaving population on anyways?

I'm just testing the feature, there's no reason.
