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?

I've seen zombies go invisible, it's not fun when you're actively trying to live.

Is it somehow reproducible or completely random?

#

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 just happened again when i first joined

#

it might be a connection issue, have you tried to connect to another server? to see if you can reproduce the same issue?

empty fable

#

I understand, but do try on another random server to see if it reproduces.

empty fable
#

and yes, i had no problem in other servers

wild ruin
#

okay.

empty fable
#

the only way to fix is to die

wild ruin
#

this might sound odd, but what about your firewall possibly?

#

could it be maybe limiting the connection your having to the server?

empty fable
#

lemme tell you something

#

i dont have one

#

not even windows defender

wild ruin
#

alright just makin sure, that's usually something many cover

empty fable
#

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

wild ruin
#

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.

empty fable
#

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

wild ruin
#

and turning it off I guess does nothing either?

#

steam relay I don't think you want to use

empty fable
wild ruin
#

as it hides your IP

#

which might be causing issues.

#

if you hover over the steam relay it tells you what it does

empty fable
#

yeah it was off before, i turned it on to try xD

#

im desperate i just want to play the game

wild ruin
#

try turning it off, reset and see if that maybe helps?

#

ill deff ask around where I can

empty fable
#

now its off and im trying to rejoin

wild ruin
#

did you maake sure to restar the game?

empty fable
#

yes i did

#

i even turned off steam overaly cause someone fixed it that way

#

dunno if deleting b41 mods will help

wild ruin
#

it might

empty fable
#

i really dont know what to do

wild ruin
#

but lets call that tbhe "nuke option"

empty fable
#

is there a way to see my ping ingame?

wild ruin
#

I believe so? I know you can check your FPS and such while in game

empty fable
#

ill try now, cause im starting to think that the server is running on a potato or smth

wild ruin
#

Oh I believe at the favorites menu it'll tell you what your connection is before joining

empty fable
#

yeah but i want to monitor it overtime

#

see if there are spikes

#

its not letting me in now xD

wild ruin
#

easiest way would be checking with 5 second count interavals and refreshing to see if the spikes change

#

sorry not spike but connection/ping

empty fable
#

i try now

#

are 30 people a lot for the netcode of this game?

wild ruin
#

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

empty fable
#

nono im from italy

wild ruin
#

it depends honestly. server capabilyt and such on it

empty fable
#

server is french

#

we are close

wild ruin
#

got ya! just makin sure !

empty fable
#

np 🙂 i take it as a compliment xD

#

cause my english isnt the best

wild ruin
#

actually you're doing really well!

empty fable
#

thanks xd

#

okay i have an idea

#

server has mods

#

could it be that im not loading them right?

wild ruin
#

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

empty fable
#

its time to nuke

wild ruin
#

also unsub from mods if you're okay with doing that

empty fable
#

cause i dont really care about them

wild ruin
#

it'll completely download all new files related to b42

#

mods as well

empty fable
wild ruin
#

awesome! hopefully it'll help

#

ill poke around and see!

empty fable
#

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

wild ruin
#

yea, it could possbily just be really bad dysync to the server

empty fable
#

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

wild ruin
#

if the map and character such are taking to long to load that is deff a dysync

empty fable
#

guess that i will just make my singleplayer world
