Ticket Status Updated

Changed from New to Awaiting Confirmation

I was not able to reproduce this issue but I have found a couple of flaws in the code.


cl_laws.lua#L33 calls `` PANEL:Init() `` where it initializes the panel while calling `` net.Receive() `` (cl_laws.lua#L232) and `updateguilaws() `(cl_laws.lua#L239). The intial call to `updateguilaws() ` could potentially lead to race condition since ``net.Receive()`` is run in asynchronous context, causing the laws table to be void.

I'll leave this open until we get more reports on this.

Seen it happen a few times, disappears from F1 and you have to type /laws to get the laws - not sure I can provide anything valuable but I've seen it happen

From what I've seen, laws in the F1 menu don't work when you connect unless if one is added/removed

Fixed. The issue was the laws weren't sent on initial spawn (which is weird, because they are sent on _every_ spawn so I'm frankly not sure why it didn't work).
