Bug — Delayed Explosion image stuck on screen

[Vengeance]

Bug — xHBZxSeeker (#bugs): When hunting with DE, partner’s image stuck on my screen. Admin confirmed still seeing it. Our reply — Still open. Spell-effect / object cleanup for Delayed Explosion visuals — queued. Source: Discord #bugs · 24 Oct · xHBZxSeeker

Thanks for the report. This wasn’t Delayed Explosion FX itself — it was a player ghost: the partner’s sprite stayed on your screen after a missed ObjectRemove (disconnect / leave). Hunting with DE just made it easy to notice. Fixed:

• Client: every tick we drop player sprites the server has stopped refreshing (no packet for ~12s). Heroes are excluded so they don’t vanish.
• Server: ObjectRemove is broadcast to everyone on the map before logout / map-leave (same family as shop/portal ghosts).

Needs the next client patch + server bounce to land fully. After that, if a partner image still sticks with DE, reply with map + roughly what they did (DC, shop, portal, etc.).
