Bug Reproduction:
Have a character made that uses the tallest height setting in the character creation screen

You will get âView Obstructedâ everywhere in the room, no matter where you stand.
Greetings Valkor!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Due to the fact that your issue is related to a private server, we would advise you to join the Admins United Discord (also referred on: Admins United: Conan - Discord for Server Admins! ) as this discord includes other admins with the experience to better assist you Valkor.
Nowhere does the author of the subject mention a private server, he does say: I quote âgo to any serverâ.
Despite all the respect I have for you, make sure you read all of the messages and understand them: thank you
Indeed, you are right , I simply did not see the mention âprivate online serverâ. Please forgive this mistake on my part .
@HighSaint excuse my words, but even if this does not have a valid reason, understand that: errors of judgment, bad anticipations, doubtful choices and decisions, lack of communication and tests on the part of Funcom since the beginning of the Ages have tended has pissed us off, your loyal customers.

Build a small sandstone hut with 2x6 foundations and ceiling tiles and stand inside the structure, then try to place a sleeping bag and they will get the message View Obstructed.
If you are outside the structure you can place the sleeping bag.
Should I now also contact Admins United Discord, can they help on an official server?
It is important for our team to address specifically the reports players sent us. We are aware of many of these issues happening in official servers and sometimes we do request more information, however private servers function in a significantly different manner, which may result in distinct approaches when it comes to the procedures our team has for handling reports.
We are always very thankful to all of you who continue to submit these to better improve our game and we ask for your patience as well as your understanding
Alright, I understand that some bugs reported on a Private Server may be affected by various mods installed on that server, however my original bug post does not indicate any mods in use. The server is completely vanilla, but with a dedicated private host instead of an âOfficialâ Funcom server. One should assume in this case that the bug reported could be reproduced (and also exist) on Official servers (which it does, as others have pointed out in this thread) as there are no game mods in play here.
Thank you for passing this bug/glitch on to your dev team!
Hi,
I have had this today on an official server, I placed a wooden box down and it was fine then I tried to place another close to the first one and I had the view obstructed.
The thing with this though there was no foundations, no walls, and no ceilings, it was out in the open.
I have found that sometimes it is to do with how close you are to the object being placed and other times it seems to be where you are placing the object.
A workaround for the time being is to crouch when building in 1-wall height rooms.
There also seems to be a related glitch with trying to place thralls in 1-wall height rooms that also have 2-wall height areas, the thrall âpopsâ to the two wall height area instead of where you want to place it.
Sometimes, the bottom of the stairs requires an extra foundation. I usually take out the closes block (or ceiling) directly over the stairs. If you can build a minimal cylinder for testing, you got it. You just follow the pattern: foundation, stairs, ceiling. Or try: triangle<->block<->triangle, and replicate it on each level for stairs.
Iâll post an image if that is confusing.
Iâve only had to crouch when going up or down stairs. Thatâs why I only hinted about it in one of my previous replies.
I understand. I tried that, but⊠the AoH release⊠even after beta⊠made it worse. I did adapt to the âview obstructedâ first with an axe. Then I was fed up with downed strikes. For now: Iâm kicking the can.
I also tried it with a wall behind me, and the error became consistent.
It may be a bug in the base game. (It may be C++0xâŠ) :
I never saw âview obstructedâ until early this morning. (Since back then,) I made my initial tests. I just didnât paste the results, especially where I can agree or disagree. One result was a clan that was denied entrance into their own big base⊠at least two or three sectors worth⊠poof!

Even the admins threw down a stop gap.
