Mod Non-Living Entities disappear randomly sometimes

[liach]

Ref #107 As I observed this issue may be temporarily fixed by disconnect and login again. This has been observed on Railcraft steam locomotive and IndustrialCraft2 carbon canoe. In the locomotive case I found it back after login twice, in carbon canoe case I tried to login twice to find it, but it seemes to disappear and I gave up.

Guess: Cauldron's bad handling of special entities? (I do not know about Cauldron server actually, sorry)

Good point doc. I think it's 99% optifine. Btw Optifine is really a perfect rendering engine...(Without optifine i cannot even see blocks 1 chunk away but entities cause render glitching)

Make sure that you don't have the multi-thread chunk loader on.

So I guess fastcraft is safe?

[Dockter]

If you use fastcraft you run the risk of your entire game going to pieces.

No! Doc I can confirm it is not a Optifine problem. It is the problem within the modpack. I downloaded clean b84 today and when I tried to place a minecart on the railroad of the castle, the chest cart disappears. In this picture you will see that a part of railroad has been activated by the detector track without any minecart. But you cannot see any minecart which is possible to activate the detector track. The minecart found later, the reason of stopping might be that its not in the loaded chunk and the booster track(powered rail) did not receive the redstone signal.

[Dockter]

Those minecarts won't force load chunks. Is that part of the issue?

[liach]

Not a chunkloading issue. If it is it should be related to Railcraft anchor cart or something like that.

[Dockter]

Please test this bug after we deploy b100. We could find nothing in our base code that could effect this.

Ref: http://www.railcraft.info/forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=734 Seems to be a Cauldron issue.
