Can someone explain to me how I can spawn INSIDE or UNDER a foundation? Not a ceiling tile, mind you… an actual foundation.
Can they possibly break this game any more? It literally gets more unplayable with every subsequent “patch.”
Yes because if you are having an issue everyone is right?
Wrong.
There are COUNTLESS OTHERS reporting the “sunk in foundation” or “spawning in foundation” bug. So act like I’m the only one having it if you like. Your strawman is weak.
This is why I put an “portal kit” with all the materials to make a teleport pad.
…last thing I want is to get stranded because I had to destroy pieces to get free.
It’s weird because it doesn’t always happen…
Teleported 6 times night before last night and had no issue, but the 7th jump. The 7th was back to where I had started, it stuck me directly under the middle of the tele. I waited till next day, after server reset, and my character was still under the tele. Clicked help, filled out the form, and logged out.
Ended up deleting the portal to free my character. Sadly at great resource cost. But all teleports are now elevated.
It’s not just happening during teleports. It happens when I join a server, or when I die and respawn. It’s also happening to tavern thralls. I’ll come back to base from adventuring… and there will be 2-5 thralls stuck in foundations. The only reason I even know about it is there is solid rock right beneath my foundations a ways, so I come in to my base and there are thrall heads sticking out of my floor like tulips. I have to pull out construction hammer, delete the foundation, kill them… then put foundation back. ONLY started happening with this last update (with the 10-20 other things this update broke), so how about no more ridiculous gaslighting trying to tell me its somehow MY problem?
They really did a number on the stability of the game with this last update. SO MANY problems that I never had before.
This is caused by a race condition while loading.
For those who’ve never heard of the term, a race condition is where multiple codes are running simultaneously, and the code that completes first causes the other code to fail (i.e. wins the race).
Race conditions are random. Not RNG, but real life random.
This results in you either spawning on the ground or on the structure above the ground to be inconsistent.
However, until Inflexion fixes this (I only learned it was a race condition because they were looking into it and said that was what they found), I have come up with a solution to get out of the ground without having to destroy your structure.
First log out. Now this is the important step - wait for a little bit to make sure the area around where you logged out fully unloads. Log back in. If you are still stuck, you lost the race condition (again, this is completely random), go back to start and try again.
This solution has been tested by myself and others have also confirmed that it works for them as well.
It isn’t ideal obviously, but it is preferable to dismantling your transportory stones and/or base to free yourself.
Thank you for this thorough explanation and workaround.
So if they know what is causing it, why don’t they fix it?
It might already be fixed internally, then it waits for them to compile a patch. It will likely be included in the next hotfix.
Does it work with another player’s teleporters ?
The owner shouldn’t matter.
Unless they are present. That might prevent the area from unloading while you are logged out.
please fix this. i am always stuck in teleports and have to delete.. there is no solution but deleting it
