Mysterious ghost character trailing regular character

Multiplayer & Networking Netcode for Entities
1

For seemingly no reason, a ghost of my character has been following the actual character in both the scene and game. After disabling animations, UI and even trying it with a random cube, the ghost still follows moving objects. Is this just some random setting I accidentally turned on?

2

can you catch the ghost with a print screen?

then post to show

3

Thats the problem, whenever I take a video or photo of it, the trail is gone from the photo/video

4

When I take a video, its there, but when I pause it, the ghost disappears

5

Thats exactly why I called it a ‘ghost’, the moment I take a picture of the phenomenon, the figure trailing it literally disappears.

if you cant capture the ghost on a print screen or video it means that its not a problem with your game, just your screen

try the game on other screens

the only way that you will be able to see this ghost is by taking a video of your screen with your phone for example

I can describe it as an exact copy of the character, including its animations and movement. It lags slightly behind the character but disappears behind it when standing still

Thanks for the tip, I’ll see if it works

I don’t think the problem is with my screen because I can view any other moving object with my screen and it doesn’t have the same effect.

well if that was true you would be able to catch it on a print screen, its just logic

i have the same problem as you, for my screen it shows a yellow ghost, on my laptop screen its better

you dont notice on other things because on your game you are hyper critical, looking at it super isolated

I just imported an open source project into the exact same editor however this time it did not have the issue. Perhaps I turned on some random setting. I will look into it further

if you find an answer pls let me know since I have the same problem, thanks my friend

This can sometimes be caused by incorrect temporal anti aliasing settings - if you turn off post processing does the problem go away?

Also check the motion vector setting on your character

Very Very late reply, fixed this issue years ago but forgot to share the solution. Check your monitor settings, if the contrast is too high or if refresh rates are wrong a phenomenon called “ghosting” will occur.
