Familiars cause transition lag

A Former User

Happened to me with a bat familiar. Took like 3 minutes to load each area in Arabel. Haven’t tried with a different familiar yet.

Pretty sure you aren't meant to be able to transition with familiars

@puffy

We mean we crossed an area transition with our familiar summoned. Like with any other summon.

Puffy

AH, sorry thought you meant AS familiars

I helped Zool test this some and it is indeed causing transition lag.

Zool

Yeah this is super weird and I have literally no clue.

My suggestions:

Ask in the EE discord if this is a known issue and has a workaround.
Delete familiars and stop caring
Delete familiars and script a custom system.

(I was able to reproduce this bug pretty much 99.9% of the time)

@zool 4th suggestion - only use them for their spells and don't transition with them?

Zool

@gdardog Well, they can be infinitely summoned now, (unless they die) so you could just drop them then resummon them.

Problem is, I had a familiar that I needed to keep out for roleplay reasons, and is used stealth (which I also needed to have on, to avoid it being seen by others characters)

So.. if I couldn't transition, I would be re-summoning it, ruining my ability to keep it stealthed.

This is just one reason why that;'s not really a viable solution. Works for the players it works for at present though, yeah.

We did some work on this recently. Is this still an issue?

@echo Last week someone had the issue, if its been in the past few days I can test it

@echo said in Familiars cause transition lag:

We did?

I have literally no clue how to fix this, mostly because I can find no code that could possibly be causing it, just, no source whatsoever, so nowhere to even begin looking

@zool I thought Deth worked on it? He just told me he was waiting on a "time and date" for when it was happening, preferably live so he can monitor it.

Nymeria

Can confirm still an issue! I don't have a mage but there are a few around who can help...?

Echo

Will need to test this live with Deth monitoring the server's 'Matrix' stuff running so he can see what's happening.
