dragons hover in place spinning

[EnderiumSmith]

after a dragon takes off it will spin in place like a mob on a fence moving very little and looking weird. it should circle around a much bigger area instead.

i have advanced flight AI off because the game freezes when the dragon lands with it on

[darthvader45]

I'd add an FPS-improving mod like BetterFPS, Surge and Foamfix Anarchy. Work great.

[EnderiumSmith]

i have and fps is not the problem. with advanced AI on when a dragon lands the server freezes and i have to kill the process.

[darthvader45]

Have you tried allocating more RAM? Also, what version of Ice and Fire?

[EnderiumSmith]

1.1.1 which is latest. i allocated all the ram.

[darthvader45]

I suggested the most likely cause, which is the dragon using its breath attack on mobs that aren't attacking it, using chests or breaking gold piles.

[EnderiumSmith]

most likely cause of what?

[darthvader45]

Of the freezing.

[EnderiumSmith]

i hit the dragon, dragon lands, server freezes, client looks unaffected, need to kill process from system manager.

287 Take a look here.

[EnderiumSmith]

but the problem is dragons spinning in place while flying. they do that with advanced AI too.

[darthvader45]

Yeah, that might be due to dragons checking for blocks in a radius that's too large. I think they should only check for blocks that are quite close to their collision box. Either that or make the collision box more like that of the ender dragon.

I just wanted to say, I heve exactly the same issue: dragon takes off, spind in the air, doesn't really attack, unless it when it occasionally lands, you can loot the whole horde, while he's doing that, so not really a challenge then ^^* hope this can be fixed soon, was looking forward to epic fights against these beasts ^^

[AlexModGuy]

should be fixed in 1.2.0

@Alex-the-666 Good to hear, perhaps dragons won't be so derpy or laggy anymore. We will see....
