Houses following me shard to shard

Anyone else have houses from one shard appear on another (overlapping with other houses and blocking movement, etc.) when they play a few different shards? Is there a cache setting I'm missing somewhere?

I've seen that on Yamato.. Except you couldn't walk through it, it was really a house like that - others saw it that way too.

I actually have to close the client and restart it to fix it most times. It's just annoying and I though maybe I've missed a setting or something. Searched the forums and found nothing...

This seems to happen a lot. For me it's when I go to Tokuno and then elsewhere, I see the Tokuno houses all over my screen.

This is very common, it seems that the client is not cleaning some parts of memory properly
so the last server you visited houses are still there :). Only solution is closing client and
restart.

This should be fixed because I can imagine a lot of ways to xploit it.

Basically what happans is that any player houses that are only partially on your screen at the point of log out leaves the non visable parts of the house as semi static. The parts that are visable are deleted, that is why it seems like the houses just dissapear at certain tiles.

Logging out when there are no houses only partially on your screen will avoid that. Completely closing the client will wash that, like restarting a computer clears our the RAM.

I can't think of how something like that can be exploitable. When you get to the partial houses the items aren't loaded/displayed. So I believe there are no items to loot. I've never tried to access a house sign on a partial house, if it's even there.

I once logged out in a house on Oceania (was North of Luna), got on Atlantic and there was one house way South of Luna over the bridge that bled from Oceania to Atlantic, so I doubt it's just houses that are partially on the screen when you log out...

I've even had this happen when jumping onto TC before... Hard to see what size house will fit in my plot if my houses are still sitting there...

And a friend once told me that he was seeing houses when we were wandering around in Ilshenar a while back

It really does need to be fixed though, not much fun having to restart the client because other shard's houses are getting in the way of basic movement

I saw that once during the lag around one of my houses ... I suspect there are bugs where if the client miscommunicates with the housing server, you get the wrong list of houses downloaded from the housing server.

There is a option. If you are in 2d, open up the options on paperdall and select the UO Miscellaneous, scroll to the very bottom there is an option of "Cache this many houses on Client:". Slide it to 0 and log out. When you log back in it should be fixed. I had to page a GM about a year ago because there was a house foundation blocking a passageway in Ish, and that is what they had me do to fix the problem. It is real bad if you transferred a char and went to where your house was on the other shard. I could still see my house transposed over the existing houses.

I have to close it out too. Anyone else go somewhere like ice island and it start raining and then everywhere you go even luna it's still raining. I actually like the rain so it's no big deal just wondering if it's happened to anyone else. :D

Be glad it's just housing that's following you around. I get to randomly be in Fel no matter where I am.

Tram-Fel...

Tokuno-Fel...

Ilsh-Fel...

Malas-Fel...


I'm just waiting for someone to try and attack me....

I've been getting that for ages now, I just ignore it for the most part, but I'm getting tired of seeing fel no matter where I go
