Resolved "Screen Spazzing Out" Glitch

Explanation of Bug: The bug did not happen in 1.6.4 and when we updated to 1.7.4 it started to happen at random points in time. There is nothing in console that notices the error, but there is surely something wrong. It's not the mini-game itself because it happens across all of our servers. We believe the error is LilyPad but if you think it is something else please leave suggestions for what that could be and how to fix it.

Video: Skip to 14 seconds to see the glitch happen -

Version: At first we were on a older version of LilyPad so we thought that was the problem, but we recently updated to the latest version and we still receive that same problem. We are using the latest version of Spigot.

Reproduction of Bug: This bug occurs at random moments and nothing comes up in console.

P.S. When the player gets killed they no longer are in this spazzing out glitch.

Note we are using GoLilypad. Latest build

Perhaps @Coelho can shed some light on this :3 You see I too have noticed a bug similar to this, and I can guarantee we don't run the same plugins (to eliminate that as a variable). Players will randomly freeze with a spazzy glitch even more intense than the one you displayed, and for me, it too can come at different and indiscriminate times.

I used to think it was when someone tried to teleport a player right on join, because that's where I saw it more frequently. But as time went on, and as I came to find, the glitch persisted. Additionally, leaving and rejoining would often times not fix the bug, players would HAVE to die, and the only real solution was to restart the server in question.

Can anyone confirm? I've been searching Bukkit for similar problems, but cannot find anything.

Edit: The only reason I think it could be LilyPad is the backwards arrow glitch we saw in 1.6.4.

Hey @Coelho,
I concur with the other two posters. I don't really know what you would like me to modify in my client, but I can guarantee that this also happens on unmodded clients. I was actually about to post this but it looks like these people got to it first. If you can give me code to modify into my client, I'll go investigate it for you.

Will definitely due. As for your first impression, do you believe this is a problem inherently within Bukkit/Spigot or JLilyPad? I'll be looking out for this one, as I even saw it in 1.6.4 (which left me doubtful of its origin).

If you have any ideas you think it could be, we can certainly get the players to test it. :3

Edit: Do any of you guys run ProtocolLib? Edit: No that wasn't it

So what do you suggest we modify? Add code to print statuses of packets being sent, or something else. I'm not very good with the networking in Java, and GO is beyond me so I don't know what this "client modification" would entail.

Just out of curiosity do you guys use Linux? It might be a bug related to Linux if we are in fact all using it.

Well the reason I thought about it is because I was researching for more information on this "Spaz Attack bug" and I found this on the minecraft forums http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/2296078-minecraft-linux-bug-172/. I still believe that it could be something else but this is just a reason of why this could be happening.

@Coelho,
The coder of BungeeCord said this in IRC.
[17:03] <B> (md_5) I know that issue
[17:03] <B> (md_5) bungee had it a long time ago
[17:03] <duper51> http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/1-7-death-frozen-bug.7516/
[17:03] <B> (md_5) and guess what, we fixed it
[17:03] <duper51> Mind telling me how you fixed it?
[17:04] <B> (md_5) properly rewrite all the entity IDs

Apparently the EntityID's are not being correctly rewritten.

@Coelho, would you mind if you told me where you are rewriting the EntityIds? If I go and modify it I may be able to fix the problem. It's worth a shot.

Coelho if it worked for Bungee wouldn't it work for Lilypad as well? It's worth a shot to at least try to fix it if many of us are having these issues.

Thanks @Coelho, at present, it looks like the problem was fixed by that build.
I'll let you know if something goes awry.
