Phantom mount bug.

Post by kaincallavis »

Apparently I managed to find a bug that causes your character to appear to be riding a mount despite not having a mount under him.
The player can still attack, and perform most actions from what I can tell, and he runs at his normal base speed. Though the graphic it consistent and remains that of someone riding an invisible horse and you cannot remove the graphic short of dying and being resurrected.

It applies to shapeshifting classes.

Druid shapeshift, for example.

How to:
Hop on a mount.
Shape shift while on mount. (forced you to shapeshift into a tiny bald person for a minute then completes as intended, and ejects you from your mount)
Mount the horse while in shapeshifted form.
Return to your normal form.

After these 4 steps your horse will be gone forever and you now appear to be riding an invisible steed but running at your normal speed.

This bug also caused my character to have some kind of texture bug on his head. It's quite distracting and frustrating.
DM Loki and Gozer have tried to correct the issue to no avail just yet.

In-Game Testing Notes:
  • From description provided by PC, character has a Texture Missing overlay covering its head. The missing texture is only visible to the PC and appears to work correctly for other players/DMs
  • Appearance was toggled to Human with no apparent change in graphical bug.
  • The bug appears to the PC when no VFX are active on the character.

You shouldn't be able to shapeshift while mounted; I'll look into to that.

In the interim, I'll fix your PC and do not attempt to do that again.
