Bug Description:
Fatal Error upon attempting to place building pieces
Bug Reproduction:
Build with several levels - meaning using techniques to decrease or increase the height of building pieces, like making fake “steps” (not fence stacking as an end result)
If you attempt to place a building piece, this can be a wall, foundation, window, etc.,… is adjacent or touching multiple levels the game crashes with a fatal error
This seems to be more common when piece fails to place, if you try multiple times to place the building piece and get the error that it fails, eventually the game crashes
Upon relog the piece is fine to place and no further crashes until the next random interval of failed placing and crashing in a separate place
I can’t pinpoint exactly when it happens. Only that it does on occasion. I don’t have videos or screenshots. It’s like the game gets overwhelmed by the request to place that it can’t at that given moment yet is fine upon the relog.
2 during building.
I was placing foundations… nothing special. Switched to another type and went place in same spot I was just looking.
Hard Freeze. Had hold PC power button down, to get out of it. No crash report… Game and PC froze. (about 3 hours of play time)
2nd, was just placing foundation walls… nothing weird. Hard Crash. I had been playing a good 6 hours…
3rd, was just running across map, jump down small incline to hit a gator… Hard Freeze… combat music played. Let it sit… Song Ended… Game never recovered, Couldn’t Alt tab.
Crash Screen popped up after about 7mins… But Couldn’t click it. Had Turn PC off to get control back.
No Fatal Crash screen for error code… got nothing to add sadly.
Ya there’s something really really off with building right now. The whole issue with not being able to place at all is a lot more frequent, I even get the error on a flat area on foundations I’ve placed. Sometimes you get it if you’re building on a perma-structure which has always been a thing but this is getting just ridiculous.
I’m starting to think the fatal errors I’ve been experiencing with building tie into the checks regarding exploit prevention. Maybe? Awesome!
So I was using the fence method to step my foundations again as there’s various inclines where I am building currently. Because I’m using several levels/planes, and I’ve noticed this before, it’s like the game is having trouble recognizing which level I am requesting to be built at.
While I appreciate it remembers the other levels it’s usually still snapping at least and I have the option to move up and down. Sometimes if there are multiple levels touching and I keep trying, fatal error just like I originally reported. Ok fine.
Except, here I am trying to place a wall and I’m getting a ghost way away from any snap point floating in the air.
Maybe I was a cat in another life because curiosity can get the best of me so I placed it. Instant fatal error. Ok good because you can’t place floaty stuff but bad because why is the game even doing this?
