[Mac OS] Zep/Boat bug fixed ?

[Aybabtu]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if someone knew anything about the Zep/Boat bug concerning mac players, ie. falling through right after the loading screen. Is it fixed here ?

I heard on other servers before that it was actually client-sided so the dev couldn't do anything about it, if this is true then I'll have to think of something else and I might have an idea but first I wanna make sure that it is indeed impossible to fix.

Have a good day, and don't forget to be awesome.

It wasn't fixed when I played during the beta, but I think I saw something about fixing this stuff. Maybe i'm wrong.

Does this not answer your question?

All the problems you could encounter in the past when characters were using boats or zeppelins are now fully solved on Nostalrius Begins!

As a matter of fact, no it does not.

The problem I'm talking about isn't mentioned in this video. As I said, this issue solely concerns mac players and it has proven to be impossible to fix in the past (at least on every server I've played on), so I highly doubt this is working as intended here. Also, this wasn't fixed when I played during the beta.

So any word from a dev ?

So this is Mac specific then? Because I've played on a ton of privates and have not has this issue before.
I think I might have encountered it once on a boat.. maybe?... But I don't remember it ever being a common thing.

Hello,
We made a lot of changes in the way transports work since the end of the beta. Unfortunately, there is no Apple fanboy in the staff at the moment, so we weren't able to test this particular issue. I would say that the issue is still present.
But if the bug is present, it is possible to fix it, if it's not related to the MAC client. The question we should ask is : Were boats / zeppelins working fine for MAC users on retail ? If the answer is yes, this bug can be fixed.

Did you really need an answer lol ? (Yes)

From this source (https://github.com/cmangos/issues/issues/198) it appears as though this issue may have been present in retail vanilla. Also, this source gives some explanation for the causes of this bug and some suggestions for solutions. Might be worth looking into.

It happened on retail, early in the game. you can witness it here : http://youtu.be/6kjOfYcDEwA?t=3m6s
This was fixed both for mac and windows along the way, can't remember the patch though but I don't recall this issue lasting for a long time.

Now this is it what happen to a vast majority of mac players everytime they use a zep or a boat. The problem is indeed that your character seems to zone in before the boat/zep does.

I heard about the Z axis tweaking thing mentioned by one the dev in the github thread but I never saw it actually work.

This is your smite for buying Apple capitalist Bullcrap.
If the bug is still here, don't fix it please.
