    So yeah. Really important bug to fix. I was going down a mountain on my motorbike and all of the sudden i have flung 6 km all the way to the south pole. Currently Without my motorbike. With a broken leg. And with no plant fibers or plant protein to make bandages. Was talking to somebody and they have experienced this same issue before except they were only flung 4km and had a bandage.:| To make this EVEN better, i have to walk through zirax territory with only an assault rifle T1 and 100 ammo...

    Hello everybody.

    As mentioned in https://empyriononline.com/threads/...orbike-makes-the-camera-go-upside-down.55986/ it is possible that if you drive fast enough down a hill you can stuck in the ground BUT

    It is also possible (happened to me last Night)... if you drive down the hill and hit the ground in a very bad angular you can be shoot into space.

    You need to fall down a hill, stuck in the ground and press "F" to stand up from your bike and WOOOOOSH.....

    The speed was amazing. I think faster then every ship can fly.

    Here technical Details:

    Server Version: Alpha 10.3.0 Build 2531

    Server Hardware:
    Intel Xeon Gold (4x2,3 GHz)
    16 GB DDR3 ECC Ram
    240 GB SSD
    Windows Server 2012 R2
    Connection: 100 MBit Up/Down

    Client Version: Alpha 10.3.0 Build 2533
    Client Hardware:
    Intel Core I5 (4x3GHz)
    8 GB DDR3 Ram
    Graphics: GeForce GTX1050 Ti
    Harddisks:
    C: 480 GB SSD
    D: 120 GB SSD
    E: 1 TB Toshiba HDD SATA3
    Connection: 100 MBit down/40 MBit up

    All drivers are up to date and Server/Client files are verified.

    I hope someone can verify that because this scenario is very disapointing :)

    Greetings

    Chris

    Is there a particular location where this can be reproduced from repeatedly ?
    If so can you supply a save game with your character left at the top of a hill where it will happen ?
    Is there any video of this ?

    Hello.

    I'm sorry but i do not have a Video or a Save Game. But it happened now 2 times on different versions (Build 2533 and 2535)

    Because i do not have any data to show you i can say it is not important from which hill.. You just need to jump down, turn upside down (like in many posts) and then press "F" to stand up.

    It happened to me now two times. I've stuck in the Ground, pressed "F" to stand up and after that the speed is amazing. After 1 second you are completely in space and you'll keep that speed until you reach another planet or other "blocking" Object. I could not check if i can walk after that "Fly" because i died within the flight because lack of oxygen.

    If it happens to me again i record it and try to keep a savegame.

    Greetings

    I confirm that the players on my server sometimes fly into space with great speed getting off the bike.
    How this happens is still unknown
    another bug - if a player on a motorcycle teleport into space, it will fly at high speed and will not be able to get off, the coordinates will reach billions, after which the player will throw out of the game with an error, the player will go to the server if he can, then with difficulty.
    maybe these bugs are related.

    Me and my friend have been getting into E.G.S. recently but sometimes when the bike glitches out and we get off of it we go flying all the way over to the opposite pole with a broken leg, not sure if its a know bug or not just thought that should be noted.

    This is a bug that has been around at least as long as I've been here, and it's still a thing:

    While riding along on a motorbike, sooner or later, you will wind up flipping the thing over. Most common places and ways to do this:

    1. Ride through a long, drilled tunnel.
    2. Ride up and down craters.
    3. Ride up and down large hills/mountains.

    Now comes the fun part - once you manage to flip your bike, one of two things will happen when you dismount:

    1. Nothing special, you just get off the bike, right-side-up, can mount your bike and ride on, or pick it up, put it away, or put it back down and ride more. This is what is expected.

    2. Sometimes, for no obvious reason, you will hurled fantastic distances in random directions, sometimes with fatal results (high-speed geo-braking). I have been:

    a. Thrown as far as 11 miles, mostly horizontally, to land in water, on or slightly above ground, often injured, sometimes killed.
    b. Thrown all the way into Orbit. This one makes me cackle like a Bond villain every time. I've actually gotten to be pretty good at Orbital Skydiving - making my way to the planet by means of Jetpack, then free-falling towards the ground, using my Jetpack to not splat against the ground.

    I have never been able to reproduce this consistently, despite efforts to the contrary. I suspect it has something to do with inertia imparted on the character model by the moving vehicle, that is not being zeroed out correctly when disconnecting from said vehicle. I also suspect it is something within Unity, as I have seen this same phenomenon in other Unity-based games.

    Threads merged - I found a way just recently to reproduce the player being catapulted this hopefully can be fixed in A12.

    Cool! I'll miss that little "surprise! welcome to orbit!" once in a while though. ;-)

    Just started a new game after not playing for a few years, and on three occasions, after wiping out on rough terrain, I was launched several kilometers.

    I found that there is no problem if one waits until the motorcycle stops rolling before exiting the flipped motorcycle, but sometimes that is not an option, especially if you wipe out at high speed and end up near enemies, or if you wiped out because of nearby enemies, as you probably do not want to stick around. In two cases I was flung into the bottom of an ocean, in another case I hit land and died. The direction you are launched seems to always be whichever way is downhill. I'm not sure how to quantify the distance, but I'd say it's at least 5km.

    I also noticed that sometimes while running and jumping to get on top of a strangely shaped building roof, occasionally you will be launched two or three times higher than your standard jump heights if you had a good amount of momentum and hit a roof piece at just the right angle, and I suspect the two are related (not using jetpack).

    I decided to try and record myself reproducing the issue in a new game and managed to do so in just under 8 minutes. I am currently uploading a video showing it here (upload not yet complete at the time of posting):

  17. Much longer than that. This bug has been a thing ever since the motorbike was added to the game years ago. It's just never been fixed.

    Bug reports aren't as easy to find before they implemented the new bug tracking system. There are older reports than Feb 2019 though, guaranteed.

    Similar reports. There are even older ones out there somewhere. These were never fixed, it was just changed how we reproduce it.

    Robinson protocol completed. exploring east of crash site when the bike went down an unseen slope too fast and turned over. So far so what, get off bike pick up move somewhere else and get on with it. But this time, F, to get off bike and I fell through the ground, planet and into space where I couldnt move, had no armor or EVA , froze and died. Tried respawning once again deep space not bike crash site died. Gave up new launch at existing level. I was able to collect the bike but there was no backpack. Every thing gone!

    Severity severe (for this game anyway)
    Rreproducibity difficult I imagine, I can easily crash the bike but have never had this before
