Guide The Recent Crash Cases

These last few days have revealed some new devastating bugs to watch out for.
EXTREME

Spoiler: Skill Point Bug

The dreaded skill point bug returns, with the added chance of your items not dropping on the floor!
Description: When logging onto a class, sometimes any accessories and armour pieces with skill point requirements will pop out of their slots. They will fill open slots in your inventory, but if your inventory is full, the items drop of the ground around you so you can pick them up.
Issue: When this bug occurs, items are sometimes not dropping as intended when the player's inventory is full, deleting the items from existence.
Explanation: We believe this bug occurs due to the server loading the player's inventory before skill points, so the server thinks you aren't meeting the items skill point requirements, and pops it off. The reason they are not dropping as intended is unknown, and so is the cause. The staff are currently looking into this.
Solution: There is no way to avoid the bug completely, but you can prevent item loss by always leaving enough slots open in your inventory to hold all the items that could possibly pop off when you log off. (At max, 8 open slots)

Spoiler: Teleport Scroll Death

Description: When using a teleportation scroll, it uses multiple soul points, the highest recorded case being three soul points from one scroll.
Issue: Losing multiple soul points when teleporting with low soul points means the game won't stop you from being teleported, but you will lose enough soul points to die, drop your items, and be teleported. Meaning your items would end up in one town and you would be in the other.
Explanation: We have know idea what causes this bug to occur as of now.
Solution: There is no way to avoid the bug from happening, so to keep yourself safe, have four or more soul points remaining when using teleportation scrolls.

ANNOYING

Spoiler: Fallback Server

Description: When joining the server, instead of being taken to the normal lobbies, you might be taken to a "Fallback Server" (dubbed by the friend list's display of [Fallback]) which acts like the lobby, but with a few features disabled.
Issue: The player can not join any servers while in this fallback server, and cannot switch lobbies due to the player not being spawned with the lobby selector in their inventory, and /hub, /lobby, and /server being disabled, telling the player to "Look at the server log for more information." Relogging does not take the player to a different lobby.
Explanation: Currently, there is no explanation as to what causes this, especially due to the fact that the first appearance of the "Fallback Server" was only earlier this week.
Solution: If you log off and wait around five minutes or longer, the server will attempt to send the player to a new lobby rather than the fallback server upon the next login. You may still end up in the fallback server, in which case you should log off and wait a bit longer.

Spoiler: Invalid Horse/Boat Location

Description: When riding a horse or boat, the game dismounts you somewhere different from what the player sees on their client.
Issue: This can teleport the player to a completely different location, such as where they left from, or even into walls. Reports have even recorded leaving one city, reaching another, dismounting, and being teleported back to the first city.
Explanation: When you ride on the horse or boat, the server doesn't update your location, but you client allows you to move. When you dismount, the server thinks you are in two spots at once, and goes "Something is terribly wrong!" and teleports you back to your original location to avoid further issues.
Solution: The only way to avoid this is to not use horses or boats. However, bugs involving horses and boats seem to occur more often in Minecraft 1.9, so using 1.8 may limit the occurrences of these bugs.

CRASHES

Spoiler: Shadow Clone Crash

Description: The client crashes upon the Ninja's Shadow Clone spell ending.
Issue: This renders Shadow Close essentially useless.
Explanation: We currently have no information on why this occurs, and it only occurs with Ninja, not Assassin.
Solution: There is no way to avoid the bug other than not using Shadow Clone, unfortunately.

Spoiler: Random Crashing

Being timed out or "serialized" from the server randomly, while playing the game or even afking. Multiple cases have been reported, and there is no known cause or way to avoid the crashes.

 

Wynn spams blah telling him is resource pack doesn't work just because he doesn't download it from the server everytime he joins?


No?

Not a bug?


Still annoying tho.

 

You forgot the one solution to solve them all:




Quit.

 

I have another bug for you.

Spoiler: Horse Glitch

Description: This happens when you are riding on your horse, sometimes the horse will continue going on your screen, but the server thinks you are stuck on a block. (This also sometimes happens with boats.)
Issue: It is very annoying when you are trying to go somewhere and this bug keeps happening.
Explanation: I have no idea why this happens, but some other people might.
Solution: So far the solution is you can "sometimes" drop an item despawning the horse, which will demount you where it shows on your screen, and this doesn't always work.

 

Here's another. (Pardon incorrect colors.)

Spoiler: Transportation Bug

Description: While riding a horse or boat, you are sometimes teleported backwards when you get off.
Issue: This can be annoying and even lethal (2 soul points RIP).
Explanation: Server side lag, you aren't fully connected to the server and it doesn't realize where you are.
Solution: There is none currently.

 

Are you using 1.9? I noticed this same issue when I used 1.9, but it doesn't happen to me at all when I use 1.8.9.
(Rode horse in Rodoroc *Get's randomly TP'd into lava upon leaving horse*)

 

Yeah it's that glitch and I am using 1.9, I will have to try 1.8

 

I've also noticed that horses move slightly differently in 1.9, but the server is still in 1.8. So, maybe that has to do with the "glitch."

 

The first bug's been around for ages, before I went on this server. It's a pain in the ass, and it's a destroyer of builds. I've gotten used to it, though. I hardly ever log off with less than four slots or so open. Wouldn't the fix just be to load skill points before inv? Second bug is more annoying than worrisome. Third bug's a "feature" related to horse lag. Fourth bug is problematic. Fifth bug is very, very bad news.

 

Server Resource Packs: Enabled

Check that option, ensure you are playing 1.8(1.9 is known to have issues with the pack from what I have heard), and delete the wynnpacklegacy file from your Server Resource Packs folder before logging on and re-downloading it.

I have no idea if this will work, but it seems like it ought to.

 

whenever I use a boat in wynn it stops loading my chunks after 2 minutes of riding it and I have to relog. after that I get teleported maybe like 50 blocks back and without my boat.

 

He's tried this like 739045734809374 times, and unfortunately it hasn't worked.

 

Boats are bugged in vanilla Minecraft. If you want to ride a boat and be where you think you are at the same time that the server thinks you are there, try this: command the boat to move for a count of 7 seconds, then let go of your movement key; drift and count for 3 to 4 seconds. Repeat as needed until you get to your destination.

In works in vanilla MC and it works in WynnCraft.

 

Ending up on the fallback server is not a bug. Just connect to a game server like normal. If you are unable to connect to a game lobby, that's a bigger deal.

 

Yeah, I ended up in the fallback server too. I couldn't join any server or lobby until I relogged after a few minutes.

 

That's what I tried, but I couldn't connect to any worlds or switch lobbies ONLY on the fallback lobby. That's the bug.

 

1. Had this done before Gavel
2. I am playing 1.8, and this didn't even pop up in my server resource packs folder.

 

It might be an issue if you're using the non-Java launcher for minecraft. I've had issues with the non-Java launcher before.

 

I use the one downloaded from Minecraft.com


I could try redownloading it, however, my resource pack works on every other server.
