Fix the ship bug

by Blueberry » Fri Feb 06, 2015 10:25 am

I was just wondering if it's possible to fix the ship bug that happens on macs.
The one where you fall of the ships/zeps after the change continent screen appears.
It's a bug prevalent on every other classic server. Can you fix that?

As far as I've heard from people it's extremely difficult to fix as it's probably in the client. But as mentioned in that github discussion, this could be a work around:

They claimed to have fix the issue by moving player slightly upward along the Z-axis after teleport and by simulating a "press forward key" by the client to make the player stick to the transport.

Fixing it properly is hard, but it can be done. After all, it worked on retail so there is a way.

Now most servers came up with solutions of their own. Teleportation systems or implementation of the characters Blizzard used for a while to teleport players from one continent to the other are some examples.

Go bump viewtopic.php?f=6&t=309#p2605 , cause it seems the dev aren't really aware of the problem

The teleportation fix is probably a good way. This could really really annoy people as using boats/zeppelins is way more frequent in Vanilla than it is in the expansions of the game.

I will bump this thread as well. As everybody else i'm very curious as to if the dev used any of the solutions mentioned here and in viewtopic.php?f=6&t=309#p2605. If you have a mac it's nearly unplayable if the bug is there, so please consider using our solutions to fix it.
