okay but like does that only cause visual glitches
Stack overflow? Generally crashes the entire server if it’s bad enough.
Otherwise it lags out a lot.

Of course if the server is lagging and can’t process data there are going to be visual errors most of the time.
I think it’s the only game we hosted here to date where literally every player died and the game had to be declared a no contest.

It was so bad being a knight converted into a invoker
Do you see how sometimes the forums doesn’t automatically update messages some of the time and they come all at once?
I think that’s stack overflow but not bad enough to crash the entire server however bad enough that the server can’t keep up with the data and instead processes it late.
Making the server lagging is exactly what I notice very strongly on my low performance phone
Most commonly when programming it’s caused because
Function A uses Function B, which in turn uses Function C, which in turn uses function A
So it’s an infinite process and the data can’t keep up
At this point I think it’s just that the functions are receiving too much data it can’t process it all; or it’s just a UNF-8 error
You’d be surprised how bad a simple unicode error could be
I’ve seen it break an entire program that utilizes no extremely special characters
Fyi the forums is https as well which means it encrypts everything
So it’s also encrypting the zalgo text which further breaks things and causes more pressure
This is my entire newbie theory™ and me trying to remember what my Dad tried to teach me a while ago.
I remember him accidentally breaking a F13 program he wrote for me due to unicode
i saw an interesting sounding video on youtube and it was in spanish and i was like “why is the title in english” and then i realized youtube auto translated it and now im sad
