[1.0.0.0] Connection loss during certain minigames with certain weapons

There’s a high probability of losing connection to a Plaza server while playing certain minigames with certain weapons equipped. After disconnecting, you are returned to the main menu with the error message: “Your connection to the host has been lost.”

This has been tested with the Egon Cannon and Flamethrower weapons, while playing Super Hoopers or Balloon Pop. Note that not all minigames seem to be affected by this, e.g. Mas Fuerte 2K. It seems to affect minigames that use the mouse buttons.

Steps to Reproduce

Equip one of the aforementioned weapons and start playing one of the aforementioned minigames. After a certain amount of time, you should lose connection to the server and return to the main menu, although occasionally you can complete the minigame without disconnecting.

What I expected to happen

Play the minigame without losing connection interim.

What happened

Connection was lost.


Notes / Media

While this is post is titled as affecting 1.0.0.0, it’s actually been a bug for quite some time now, I just never got around to reporting it.

Also, the connection loss isn’t something silly like a LAN or ISP issue, as I was still connected to the internet and could reconnect to the same server immediately.
