Game mode: [Singleplayer]
Problem: [Bug]
Region: [NA]
I’ve got myself a nice Yamatai Castle, which I’m quite proud of. I’ve build it about 4-5 weeks ago I believe.
Anyway all was great and after new DLC I had a game crash while equipping armor on a thrall. Restarted the game and the very top of my roof just collapsed without any reason (“lost stability” in log).
I’ve rebuild that bit (fortunately it wasn’t like the middle of the structure or something) and had no problems with it since.
Until yesterday’s patch that is.
Now every time I’ve go back in the game (regardless of single player or co-op activated), random bits of my roof are getting destroyed. Every single time. And not even the same elements but always different ones and in different numbers. There is absolutely no pattern to it. And yes I’ve checked stability milion times.
I’ve basically stopped playing, and decide not to add any new elements to my build, until this gets fixed.
I’ve gave up on Multiplayer quite some time ago - loosing EVERYTHING/months of gameplay on PvE server because of bugs, will do that to you. I did not give up on the game itself though. I would really like to know that my $$$ spent on DLCs (more stuff to build with yay ) was not wasted.
Steps on how to reproduce issue:
Start/Log in single player game.
Random parts of roof structure “loosing stability”
Rebuild
Start/Log in single player game
Random parts of roof structure “loosing stability”
Could you please provide a short video or some screenshots of the areas that are most affected by this issue, as well as additional information regarding the estimated amount of building pieces used, lighting sources, placeables and NPCs within that area?
I’m not exactly sure how any of that information would be relevant to the case ?
I have other castle/stronghold build which has way more elements. I’m talking like hundreds (probably over 1k even) of foundations alone, just to even out the terrain and to create defense walls. Plenty of placeabales in it, crafting stations, few thralls and so on, and yet no problems there.
This Yamatai castle is not even close with the number of elements. Has about max 20-30 light sources altogether (inside of it, outside of it and on guard towers). No other placeables ATM other than these light sources (braziers) and 3 khitan banners. And there’s only 2 Thralls there.
If there was no problems with that structure prior to the patch that aimed to fix issues of the latest DLC patch, then I guess it’s rather obvious what has caused it.
BTW there are still “cow cammo patches” on some of the building elements (like reinforced stone foundations) so that latest patch did not entirely work
Thank you for the screenshots and additional details, all information shared is valuable for our team to reproduce this behavior and determine the source of this issue.
Yes, it happens to me too, on ps4 offline. Always same parts of the structure, some walls, some roofs and some fences. For if it helps, I rebuild that pieces, check stability, quit and enter in offline again. Those pieces were disappear and log system said demolished by lost of stability. It doesn’t happen to me online
Edit: my offline one is not too big, around 200-300 pieces, only a workbench from each kind, not many furniture and a t3 mitra’s tenple
Right so,
Because I like to play alone sometimes and give freedom to my creativity, I will insist in this issue.
This time I’ve made some photos trying to help out to find a solution.
This first picture is the affected zone rebuilded:
After a direct log out and inmediatly log in the pieces felt down, you can see the remains of the disaster, and you can see the affected walls and roofs on the Mitra’s temple and the two fences (one at each side):
I’ve had this probem with walls, foundations and crenellated fences in the jungle where the objects were touching an in game object like a wall or floor. It doesn’t happen everywhere, but the decay is consistent. I’ve tried destroying the area and rebuilding it and it still does it. One thing I noticed is it only happens on or shortly after I log in, I get messages saying x was destroyed due to loss of stability.
Well. Because I can’t play on Ps4 online, I tried to just have fun on offline, but I’m sorry… That parts of my constructions falls without nothing I can do to solve It (I tried adding lateral roofs and pillars but the broken parts still losing stability no mather what you do. So, because to build is my favourite part of this game and the motus that guides me through all the rest the game offers… I… I just can´t play this game. Well, I can play it, but If I do offline I can´t waste time building because some pieces from my buildings will fall. And well, online… As you already know We can’t play online on Ps4 by the moment. So, yes, I can’t play this game.
I don’t blame anyone. I know it is a hardcored scripted game and it’s very complicated to touch the briks without breaking all game. But, damn, I can’t avoid to feel a little bit of frustation (not against anybody) just frustation, and I feel, maybe, a little bit stupid because I payed full amount for this game (around 70€ plus 20€ dlcs) and some other people had it for free a few months ago. I mean, is part of Psn plus, you receive free games (I do!) It’s just that if this happened to me in a free psn game… I just delete and continue (it was free so I don’t have any espectatives) but, I payed… I did
Anyway, I’m not a fortune teller. I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I’m pessimistic at this point. I think that to solve the Ps4 connection issues, the company will release a patch (that may or may not solve the problem) but I bet that on this patch, the offline building issues (I just mean the loss of stability that is what really annoys me), will not be solved.
I played a lot to this game and that’s why I returned to it. If I can’t play it online (I though) I will just play it offline and have fun crafting and building peacefully…
Idk, I see people uploading videos with wonderful buildings without lost stability holes on it. How do they do it. Is it a problem that only happened to a few of us? why? why only a few of us can’t play either offline nor online? what have we done?
This issue happens to me as well in my jungle base. A few random fence foundations constantly destabilize. Also I am having trouble snapping in a few areas.
About the snap thing, is it that you can’t put a piece in a place that you should? If that’s the case, have u tried to go do other things and return? Some times it works. But I’m interested, because I have a point on my base that I should be able to build and no matter what, no matter the time I’m away and I try to build there, I can’t put that piece and I should be able to
A similar thing happened to me today on my PVE server. I logged in and my castle that I have been working on for the past couple of weeks just disapeared. All that was left was part of the gatehouse. I checked the event log and it said that a bunch of items had just lost stability. But it was only really the furniture inside, it wasn’t enough items to make the entire structure disappear . I have turned building decay off and my small starter base I built at the Sentinels seems perfectly fine so I’m not really sure what happened. It also wasn’t the purge as I haven’t filled the purge meter yet
I have found a workaround (at least it worked for me).
What I have done is:
started the game
rebuild parts of my Yamatai castle roof (again)
teleported almost half a map away to my other stronghold
log out/quit the game there
surprisingly after logging back in I had no info about loosing stability
traveled to Yamatai castle - rooftop was intact
logged few times out and back in in this location (Yamatai castle) and so far it seems to be fixed (!)
I hope that it will work for other players as well.
BTW I have exactly one piece of crenelated wall in my main stronghold and one piece of yamatai fence in yamatai castle that are always loosing stability no matter what I do (it seems that THOSE particular spots are “cursed” and no matter what I do it does not make a difference). Still lucky it’s only one piece of fence fot the entire massive structure I guess.
PS. I’ve put both castles locations on the map for reference
The problem is that even if this workaround will work, then it can be only applied after something starts to get buggy within the structure.
Sadly that means it’s not going to be much help in case that the whole big building disappears due to this stability bug.
) was not wasted.
