1.9+ Horse Glitch.

Okay, so, in the new store update, weapon skins were added, which can only work in 1.9. Also, mob totems only have there texture in 1.9. I really want to use the weapon skins, and see the awesome mob totem texture, but when I'm in 1.9 or higher, there is a really bad horse glitch, which basically prevents me from using horses at all. Jumla mentioned that horses would be buggy in the thread "WynnCraft 1.9!" but I don't know if everyone else has it as severe as me. So basically, when i start moving on a horse, my coordinates will change, indicating that I'm somewhere that it doesn't look like I am on my screen. Pretty much everything about me goes to that spot, except for me. (at least on my screen, I'm pretty sure other players see me at the different spot) It's where my particle effects are, my coordinates, it's where mobs attack, and really everything. It's more like where I actually am, and what I'm seeing on my screen is the wrong one. Also, it responds to my keyboard, and it moves the same way my first-person view does, so the main problem is, if my "alternate self," where the coordinates are, hits a wall, it will just stay there until I turn, but by then, it would have been riding straight into the wall, and not really moving for a while, so it's way behind where it looks like I am. So when I think I'm at my destination, and I dismount, I end up wherever my "alternate self" was, which is usually EXTREMELY far back, depending on how far away my destination was from my starting point. I really hope this can be fixed somehow, because there are some pretty cool weapon skins out there, many of which I have, and mob totems look way cooler than a sponge when I'm in 1.9. I know I'm not the only person with this, I've seen many people with this exact same problem, however it doesn't happen to everyone, so maybe it's something to do with the computer I'm using. I'll get a new computer sometime soonish though, so maybe this won't be a problem for very much longer. Welp, that's pretty much it. If you have any suggestions, please tell me, it would be much appreciated!

 

This happens to anyone on 1.9 because horses were changed to be client sided. On 1.8/1.9 dual compatibility servers, this causes your client, responsible for your camera, to disagree with the server, which responsible for your horse's location; this is because the server still runs 1.8 code. So your client shows you where it thinks you should be, and when you get off the horse the server corrects your camera and you get "teleported" to your real location.
If someone does not experience this on 1.9, it means they have a fast internet connection and thus their horse does not lag. The desync begins when you get lag - your client will ignore it and keep moving, but the server won't.
This is caused by Minecraft, there's no way for the Wynncraft team to fix it except going full 1.9.

To minimize this, you should dismount your horse frequently and not attempt to ride arount corners or rugged terrain.

 

Okay, thanks.

 

>Why I stay in 1.8.9

 

I do too, I just wish I could do 1.9 for the weapon skins so I asked if there was a way to fix it.

 

Another suggestion that might help you with guiding the horse is to apply a particle effect. The particles will revolve around what the server sees your position as, so often times they are floating in mid air. You can control the horse so that the shown particles do not run into obstructions.

Trying to run straight and avoiding tight curves will also keep your horse and position aligned. Wynn is pretty good about flat terrain, but several places in Gavel will cause issues for horse riding.

 

I recently switched to 1.9 as well and I just keep spamming my weapon while riding. This can be really annoying but at least I don't die because when the clicking sound gets silent I know the server thinks I'm somewhere else.

 

Yeah, in 1.9, the client isn't really synced with the server so you're basically QPU misaligned.

 

Yeah, thanks. That's what I've been doing, but it's really better to just be on 1.8.9

Mhm, knowing when the server thinks I'm somewhere else isn't the problem, I always know exactly where the server thinks I am because I use particle effects, it's just annoying that it happens at all.

 

Oh yeah well I dont have particles.
Anyway. Its the decision between least lags or item skins.

 

Better solution?
Remove weapon skins.
1.9 is stupid :/

 

1.10 is love
1.10 is life

 

The only issue I've had with using 1.9 over 1.8 is the horse glitch. And even then, I don't really care too much about the horse glitch.

Though, with them making 1.9+ exclusive item skins, they might want to think about updating to 1.9 so people don't have to choose between item skins and flawless horse riding.

 

I agree. Weapon skins are really cool, but with the immense size of the Wynncraft map, having horses not be buggy is better. As for mob totems, maybe they could just make it be made out of blocks.
