Visual Player Bug

Summary

In our game (Mic Up), we have a small island surrounded by barriers so players can’t leave the area.

There’s a visual bug, though, where AFK players sometimes look like they’re outside the barriers even though they aren’t.

After being AFK for a while, a player may appear frozen in the distance, as if they’re standing outside the island. On their own screen, they’re still on the island, but other players see them in the wrong position.

It’s a strange visual issue, and it’s been around for quite some time.

Additional Notes

I’ve been getting complaints about this for a long time. A lot of players keep asking how to get outside the island, even though it isn’t actually possible to go there at all.
Its always AFK players that appear in the distance in places they cant go.
