hi guys, so far i joined in a vanilla build 42 server 2 times, and in both of them at some random point my character and all the entities (players and zombies) become invisible and can only see the shadow under them, if i restart the game everything become visible again. Have you guys faced this bug too? Do you know if there is a fix?
#Zombies and character become invisible
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I've seen zombies go invisible, it's not fun when you're actively trying to live.
Is it somehow reproducible or completely random?
- Zombie pathing near player but not to player
- spooky ghost

So no. Not a clue
I chased a zombie going around a tree, poof... Started yelling... Yelled some more... Ran around tree...
They just go poof at times. I haven't been bitten by invisible zombies yet
You can try reporting it as a bug to our forums, though we would need some concrete reproduction steps, whether it only happens at high ping, or in certain locations and so on
if there was a way to enable log capture of this I'd totally provide it, I'm the server owner.
I can capture a clip of it happening next time I see one.
but from what I've seen so far, really isn't a reproducible factor..
but as for ping, my host averages 30-50ms battlemetrics says i'm 455 miles away.
it might be a connection issue, have you tried to connect to another server? to see if you can reproduce the same issue?
its on of the most popultar eu server, talked in discord with them for hours and none seems to ever had this issue
I understand, but do try on another random server to see if it reproduces.
and yes, i had no problem in other servers
okay.
the only way to fix is to die
this might sound odd, but what about your firewall possibly?
could it be maybe limiting the connection your having to the server?
alright just makin sure, that's usually something many cover
i trouble shotted with chat gpt a bit and it said that its a desync thing
nothing to do with corrupted files etc
i know how to read java too and its clear what the errors says
yea ive had the issue before, my only guess is maybe the port not properly connecting?
cause I know sometimes joining server you'll get a warning about the port being closed.
but other then that, I can't really think of much. ill ask around and see if I can find anything.
i mean i got the message
in the moment that i turnet on steam relay
it said that some port wasnt open dont remeber the number
and turning it off I guess does nothing either?
steam relay I don't think you want to use
but is it in my side?
as it hides your IP
which might be causing issues.
if you hover over the steam relay it tells you what it does
yeah it was off before, i turned it on to try xD
im desperate i just want to play the game
try turning it off, reset and see if that maybe helps?
ill deff ask around where I can
now its off and im trying to rejoin
did you maake sure to restar the game?
yes i did
i even turned off steam overaly cause someone fixed it that way
dunno if deleting b41 mods will help
it might
i really dont know what to do
but lets call that tbhe "nuke option"
is there a way to see my ping ingame?
I believe so? I know you can check your FPS and such while in game
ill try now, cause im starting to think that the server is running on a potato or smth
Oh I believe at the favorites menu it'll tell you what your connection is before joining
yeah but i want to monitor it overtime
see if there are spikes
its not letting me in now xD
easiest way would be checking with 5 second count interavals and refreshing to see if the spikes change
sorry not spike but connection/ping
not being rude, but if you're trying to connect from america to a server from a completely different country that connection might be failing due to the connection
nono im from italy
it depends honestly. server capabilyt and such on it
got ya! just makin sure !
actually you're doing really well!
thanks xd
okay i have an idea
server has mods
could it be that im not loading them right?
yes.
if you have lets say original mods from b41 but they get updated to b42
it could lead to file issues cause the files could be left over from b41.
even though updated to b42
its time to nuke
also unsub from mods if you're okay with doing that
cause i dont really care about them
i already did
thank you very much for the help ❤️ hopefully i will find a way to play xD
if not i have to change server i guess
yea, it could possbily just be really bad dysync to the server
looks like the bug extends
its spreading like a virus xD
cant see the map or either the character creation
@wild ruin any idea? xD
dying was fixing it, now its making it worst
its more then likely dysync, you'll have to find another server sadly ;;
if the map and character such are taking to long to load that is deff a dysync
yeah i gave up:c thank you again for the help
guess that i will just make my singleplayer world
