v83 Boss GFX/DCing Issue

[Z41N]

Hello,

I'm sure a lot of you are aware of the graphics/memory issue related to bossing in pre-BBB clients. I was wondering if anyone knew the fix to this?

The issue: bossing causes disconnections to 80% of players; this is prefaced with graphics issues such as not being able to see their inventory, or faces be distorted.

I suspect this is simply because of a memory leak or some sort of issue with graphics objects, but I am not experienced enough to resolve this.

Was hoping someone could either guide in the right direction, or tell me how to resolve this issue.

This happened to me on a server I was working with and I had to completely scrap all my wz edits and start fresh. From what I read it has something to do with how the .WZ images are saved depending on the repacker that you use. Older versions will save the images in a higher pixel format which causes strain on the server. Using HaRessurected was everyone's suggestion but none of the image nodes stay after you save the .wz files, which is a headache.
I also read that it can be fixed with some client edits, which I am not familiar with. Also I think an alternative method was creating some kind of .DLL file but I couldn't figure that out either. I def want to keep my eyes on this post to see if anyone is of any help.
