[0.7.8.2] R&D MEGABUG {dispensers and anchored techs vanish}

[JimmyBlether]

OK, I was just building a new SFS tech and after blowing up the turrets I pressed the return to checkpoint button and this happened: (pic not working, all my anchored techs and the dispensers had vanished, but the blocks still were there and the dispenser effect still was there, but my techs radar pins were far north of my position)

I then drove in the direction of the pins and then pressed return to checkpoint to drop off my tech and get a faster one. I returned to see no floating blocks but they were lying around 50m north in line over the bumps so I flew over to where the radar pins were and I saw this:

I think you just drove off too far and they unloaded? Been a while since I've played, but it sounds like what used to happen with the R&D structures. Restarting the chamber should fix it.

Checked it out more and then my tank vanished too...

What a coincidence, the tech is called the SFS BUGTANK...

Saved and reloaded, it seems to be permanent.

Edit: Now a random tech marker is on the radar even though there is nothing there...
(screenshot not working...)

Edit 2: I'm guessing they didn't unload, because they reloaded 1km north of spawn.

Random tech marker save:

Stuff like this has been happening to me too
Once I flew up to a turret to test out some flares and the turret just vanished and there was a crosshair on the minimap
Also I don't see anything weird in the pic except for the TT sign vanishing ( unless you are super neat )

look at the distance, and the fact there is no bumps. Check the saves, you will see...

Cheers guys, will look into this one further

I just got the same issue. All the dispensers disappeared. (Note: they're still technically there because I can't drive through them, but you can't see them. They also re-appeared after resetting the R&D test chamber.)

All the dispensers disappeared.

And the crafting example anchored techs from behind, in the shot. Heh.

Edit: added patch number and additional info to title in { }.

That is normal for the bug. Also, RAMPS! HOW???

Edit: AWESOME UPDATE!

 

[BenBacon]

I think I figured out how to replicate this issue ( already slightyly mentioned )
1. Get very far and very high from the spawn point
2. Click return to checkpoint
What happened to me was the dispensers dissapered and the blocks on them flew towards the TT sign
I think the syptoms of this bug are random

 

[Boomik]

Maybe this is also because of the anchor physics bug? Because the dispensers and turrets are technically still anchored when they disappeared.

I think the outcome is a bit random as well. Sometimes the dispensers turn invisible but other times they just disappear.

I was building and driving not far from 0,0, ramps where always visible. When i used jump to zero button i found that lot of things are missing around. Saved, loaded and still missing... so here is savegame.

Known issue- See [>Here<] for more details.

 

[Nightblade Greyswandir]

yes, that is same picture that I had... but I did not get far enough for it to unload all these. Before I was driving or flying much further and all around zero was normal when I would get back, no matter if I drive or jump back.

Thanks guys. I've merged @Nightblade Greyswandir's new thread, titled "R&D missing... things... in 0,0" with this existing one on the same apparent issue.

Hi, I was having fun finding out info about new blocks and I set bombs on my plane to try them out.
1. Fly away away away.
2. Hit Go To Checkpoint button.
3.You will see that EXP blocks are gone.
4. Boom.

Thanks for showing that this is happening to you too @nikitaign. I've merged your thread, titled "0.7.8.4 EXP Ramps and platforms disappeared" with this existing one, as linked by @{insert_name_here}. Also removed poll (which transferred over, heh).
