🧵 Report comment for more info here.

📝 LOGS: Player-prev.log

👣 STR:

1. Log in and join the same scene as the target user.
2. Try to send a private message to the user.
3. Observe that the message cannot be sent and the error appears.

✔️ Expected Result:

The user should be able to send private messages to nearby and connected users.

❌ Actual Result with evidence:

Clicking the text field shows "The user you are trying to message is offline" even when the user is nearby. Verified with screenshots and Player-prev.log.


➗ Reproduction:

❓ Unknown - Happens occasionally; not consistent.

🖥️ Operative system and additional Notes:

Observed on Windows. User left client open for long periods, which may affect the issue. Could be related to energy-saving modes or background app freezing.

@lorenzo-ranciaffi can we verify based on the privacy settings if this is reproducable?

[lorenzo-ranciaffi]

@m3taphysics the whole logic has been changed in this PR so now a user is considered offline only if it really is offline or if you blocked them/they blocked you so either way what you see is consistent.
I think this can be closed
