DH not working for my friend on server
on my locally hosted server (through universalator and playit.gg if that helps), distant horizons and shaders work completely fine for me, but for my friend (without shaders) the sky is black like in the screenshot and distant horizons doesnt work, with photon shaders (my shaders) dh also doesnt work for him and there is this weird smudging effect on chunks outside the vanilla render distance as shown in the second screenshot and finally with complementary shaders there is no weird effects or black sky but dh just doesnt generate LODS in general, im pretty sure we have the same mods and this also happens for him in a singleplayer world. Btw dh is not installed on the server, i can give other info if needed, thanks for any help (forge 1.20.1 47.4.0)

For the smearing in the sky:
!skybug
This is an issue most commonly found with Bliss, but other shaders as well. See here the most up to date way to solve this issue: https://github.com/X0nk/Bliss-Shader/issues/451

the bug in question: This is NOT caused by bliss. it is caused by an issue with the connection between Iris and Distant Horizons. It just looks uniquely different with bliss compared to other shade...
For the rest, what mods is the server running, does it allow vanilla clients to join?
If it does, it's worth checking if just DH installed works
i can provide a full mod list but that will take me a second, and it doesnt allows vanilla clients to join as its a modded server
Logs usually include a mods list

You should send your
latest.log file to provide additional useful information.
Logs are usually located in the .minecraft/logs directory.

Please upload the file to mclo.gs instead of sending the raw file. This makes reading the contents of the file a lot easier and improves the chances of you getting the help needed.
After uploading the file, click on Save and send the link.oh yeah lol thanks
its quite a lot of mods but i dont think they should be interfering with dh
ill post it one sec
there as some disabled mods on my curseforge profile, idk if they appear here, i can also provide my dh config file?

also, even if i fix the visual errors like the smearing could i even fix the lods not generating
LODs are not supposted to generate, as you dont have DH installed on the server
however the client should still convert normal chunks to LODs and allow you to view further that way]
have you tried applying the alex caves fix?

i just installed in on the server as i thought that might fix it, but before when it wasnt installed i was playing on the server by myself and lods were generating
LODs outside of your render distance?
yes
that is not possible
lol idk, dh was in the client mods in my server from the auto scan feature which detects client side mods
wdym by this
like keep generated chunks as lods when i move away?
ill try removing palladium and changing the alexs caves setting rn but that might only fix the visual issue not the loading issue
yes
is there a dh server config file which might cause it not loading for some players?
well the config wont do anything if DH is not installed on the server
if it is, that could be a reason, but thats not the default behaviour
it is installed now on the server but i dont see a server file for it also alexs caves biome light thing is false
its at ./config/distanthorizons.toml
yeah thats the normal config option, i was talking about the serverconfig folder located in world which some mods put files in
DH doesnt use that folder
well idk what to do now since dh is installed on the server, alexs caves light is disabled, and i done everything to fix the smearing bug
does it happen in singleplayer too?
for me no, for my friend yes]
^
best they can do is perform a !binary search then. you can also try, but it may be a lot harder for you since you need to simultaniously need to have the same mods on the server too
Try a binary search and figure out which mod is causing it.
So disable half of the mods, see if issue is still there, if yes disable half again etc etc until you find the mod that's causing the issue.
that wouldnt make sense as we have the same mods
idk about that either
maybe a difference in GPU vendor
or OS difference
both nvidia gpus
maybe drivers?
unlikely but possible
idk how drivers would cause dh not to load tho, maybe just the visual glitches
as loading should come from the cpu i think?
yes, but the GPU might refuse to display it
unlikely though
also if it is a mod, it should be a client side one, as he is able to join my server which confirms we have the same server side mods?
there is a bit of nuance there but mostly yes
ok well thanks for the help anyway, ill continue testing
👍
