#

My friend cant see my name on the map

#

<@&756556556488933526>

#

it also happens in every server he joins not only this one

#

I would recommend they uninstall all mods and verify their files and only install mods you need for whatever server your playing on and no more than that.

#

As an initial troubleshooting step. I dont actually know of that issue or how to fix it but usually when its localized to one person is a file mismatch probably caused by a mod.

primal bridge
#

he even joined servers without mods

#

same problem cant see my name on map also void in the world

#

and when i move my car he sees it in its original place

calm hill
#

Hmm

#

Check the UI settings?

primal bridge
#

where the settings at

#

which section

calm hill
#

Seem weird it'd only be him. Could be a setting or keybind im not aware of.

primal bridge
#

also he is on b41

calm hill
#

If your friend is still subscribed to mods, unsub from all of them and verify or reinstall. Just disabling the mods may not be enough.

If they are vanilla build 41. Not sure where something like that setting would be. But if its not a mod, and its only him, my next guess would be a setting or hotkey got toggled. Keep in mind I dont know if thats actually the case.

If its none of those a fresh install is worth the try.

Beyond that... no flipping clue. I haven't played on b41 in years

#

Usually the show username and character name options are server side things.

#

i told ya nothing worked

#

ill leave it for the tech support

calm hill
#

Fair enough. Sorry!

#

My googling didnt turn anything up either. So you have a unicorn issue.

#

Is your friend actually performing the troubleshooting steps or are they just saying they are? Lol

#

I recommend playing on servers below 100 ping

#

Anything above that will start having issues of varying degrees

primal bridge
#

he even visited me since i have better internet

#

nothing worked

stiff nebula
#

What about other servers? Does he have the same issues on them?

stiff nebula
primal bridge
#

It even reaches 1000

stiff nebula
#

I can only suggest playing on servers with lower ping in that case, below 100

#

Since this is just an internet issue

primal bridge
#

its not internet

#

he even used a better internet

#

nothing worked

#

just void and high ping

stiff nebula
#

Ping is the time it takes for data to travel between client and host

#

Meaning the only thing that affects that is the distance between them and the internet speed

#

And any issues related to the internet

primal bridge
#

How he went to my house and tried my wifi

#

My wifi is very good here

#

But for him its bad

stiff nebula
#

Since that would switch the issue from it being network related to being a system issue,

#

Does he have any sort of "internet boosting" apps?

#

Any MSI, Asus preinstalled apps?

#

Any antiviruses?

primal bridge
#

he solved the problem

#

thank you for standing up

#

oh nvm he said when he fixed the thing it lasted 5 mins and returned how it was before

#

Seems like it's client side from your friends not seeing anything. If the server was an issue I'd assume they'd be having similar problems.

Have you increased your allocated RAM for Zomboid? If you're running with a fairly decent amount of mods it could help to bump it up if ya haven't already since how much RAM the server has is separate from how much RAM your game has.

You can do so by:

Go to the game files, Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid

Open ProjectZomboid64.json with notepad or any text editor.

About half-way down, under "vmArgs" there'll be a line that says "-Xmx3072m" Increase the 3072 to a higher number like, 4096, 5120, 6144, etc. Always multiples of 1024.

I have mine set to 8192 while running a modpack with around 480 mods and it runs smoothly.

#

here he got the fix

stiff nebula
#

Well as mentioned, it just seems connection related, you can answer my questions if you want further help regardnig that

primal bridge
#

@stiff nebula also when he smashes a window it wont appear smashed

#

his ping is at 200-300

#

300 is max

#

i think the problem is related to allocated ram

stiff nebula
#

Okay, why do you think that and do not think that its related to the huge ping?

#

Since anything above 100 will generally have issues

#

If you are up to 300, it will be a very bad experience
