+Subject: [PATCH] Fix entity tracker desync when new players are added to the
+ tracker
+
+The delta position packet instructs the client to update
+the entity position by a position difference. However, this position
+difference is relative to the last position in the entity tracker
+state, not the last position which has been sent to the player. As
+a result, if the last position the player has recorded is different
+than the one stored in the entity tracker (which occurs when a new
+player is added to an existing entity tracker state) then the sent
+position difference will cause a position desync for the client.
+
+We can resolve this problem by either tracking the last position
+sent per-player, or by simply resetting the last sent position
+in the entity tracker state every time a new player is added.
+Resetting the last sent position every time a new player is
+added to the tracker is just easier to do, so that is what
+this patch does.
