Stealth Icon/Transparency desyncing from actual stealth

Unread post by RoseFrost »

I've noticed this a few times on other characters, but I didn't realize what was going on until someone PMd me about it happening to me. People are getting stuck with the stealth icon and semi-transparency that come and go with stealth (often with a delay of a few seconds. Presume on heartbeat?). These effects are only stuck for other players viewing the character, not to the person actually playing the character.

A character who is not stealthed, as viewed by others. I confirmed with the other players around that they were all seeing the icon and transparency effect.

Toggling stealth on and off a few times didn't seem to fix the problem as viewed by other players, but relogging did. I've seen this bug affecting a few other chars, but I didn't realize what was going on until it happened to me. Posting this with the hopes that people can figure out a pattern to what is actually causing the effects to get stuck.

We're going to look into fixing the desync issues but we're waiting for the new server to come out before then. Because all the NWNX4 plugins have to be redone. And there is no point redoing it when in two months we have to do it all over again, (Dae estimated a plugin to be able to hook to things like this around 40h.)
