Desync the game mood destroyer

[crisp shuttle]

Info:
rubberbanding or a position desync bug

Problems:

1. Server Position Correction
   When you move, your client predicts movement, but the server is authoritative.
   It forcefully snaps you back, teleport effect.

2. Network Issues:
   Packet drops

3. Collision / Pathing Errors
   You click somewhere:

Client path says: valid path

Server path says: blocked / invalid

server teleports you back to last valid position

As you can see there is 3 possible problems, that it affect the user.

Currently what I notice the most is, when running dungeon and on weekends.

Therefore, my current conclusion is:

• Higher tick rate
• more channels to avoid overload on channels
• Better movement reconciliation

The devs know how their networking functions.

It’s a matter of time and cost to make it better. Either they aren’t provided the time for it or fixing it increases hosting costs which gala won’t do.

I was just thinking, what if the moment a player is hit by a circle, the server ask the client if the player was in.
And when client say the player is out then it cancels the damage.
Not a perfect solution, but if the other solution are to costly, that's a cheap method that maybe could help at least.

Everyone knows it's a feature and a player issue.

Server-sided authority prevents teleport hacks and other client-side hacks. The client can never say "I am here" and the server say "that doesn't seem right to me, you were just over there, but ok."

However, their implementation leaves much to be desired.

true i forgot about the cheating problem 💀

[shut fern]

the fact it isnt a real client game doesnt help dont forget its a browser game, outside that this problem was in OG gpotato flyff also, but it always got fixed for a while after a full server restart

why do people keep bringing up the fact that the game is in the browser when it has 0 relevance to the position desync?
this happens in the native client too as evident from the last fwc finals
