Fixed bug on leaving and entering a planet

since the last update , I keep getting error messages when leaving or entering a planet. I does not happen every time but enough to be a problem. the message says and error has occurred I can either continue , report error, or exit. I have reported the error several times and included the files it asks for but I NEVER hear back that the report was received. (you should really let people know if the report has been received even if it is an automated response). once I get the error I have to exit game as everything is frozen. when I get back in game I am outside the ship and cant get back in as it says the seat is occupied. If I am in space I can quickly remove cockpit and replace in a different location, but if I am in the atmosphere I fall to the ground and have to get an admin to retrieve the ship as I am too far away to use getshiphere command.

I am also getting the error message when I open up the control panel on my ships, although I notice I do not get the error if I have selected the summary report option on the screen.

 

I have done this with my other reports but will do again here. this is the one with largest number. Did you need me to do this right after I get error, or will this file have the error listed in it?

If you need the file created right after this happens to me I can send one as soon as I get error again. it happens to me 3-4 times a day so should not be long. Also FYI , I have tried to reinstall the game, and I now know of 3 other people this has happened to.



Also, thank you for your response, I was getting worried I had chosen yet another dead steam game.

 

Good. This one is kind of a show stopper. Was a tad funny though. It happened to me (the cockpit trick did not work either as it says "no empty space to place block" (anywhere on the ship) My friend was going to come rescue me floating in space (from his own planet), and it happened to him too. E.A. can be fun, hehe. :-D

 

this bug is game ending, I have 2 sv's stuck in atmosphere/orbit on eu server, 2 cv's just disapppeared, 1 while i was sitting in it, in the void, mining, giving me 2 choices, spawn in void & die within 3mins, or restart on starter planet, over the last week, i have lost 5/6 ships to this bug, sick of having to make new ships, i cannot count the times, while on servers, i hear people losing their ships this way, especially hard, when it's new players, with 1st ship, trying to leave starter planets, & no one can go and help them, so they leave, not to be seen again.
i no longer dare go & explore other planets, because of this game ending bug, that has been here for at least 2/3 weeks.

 

Same here I went to rescue sli and was left stranded. Think he has 2 up there now. It heart breaking to see it fixed in next update for couple days and no update when it seriously effects so many - almost should have been a hot fix fo something like this. Anyway keeping self amused with t3 hover ATM while I wait. Lots of poi's to do.

 

Has happened to me on the Official Public/vanilla server as well and friends of mine. Good to see it is getting fixed.

 

Agreed. Once you get to a certain point, your pretty much stuck until this showstopper bug is addressed.

 

Was not sure exactly when it occurred originally. So I just recreated it. Don't laugh at the ship, remember it was a simple rescue vessel (and now there are 2 of these stuck in orbit,) hopefully I am providing what you need. Thanks for looking into this!

 

I want to thank you for fixing this. For some reason this bug was hitting me 2 to 3 times a day. I know others that have never had a problem with this. Fortunately I play on a server with great admins and the saved my ship every time without a complaint.

Now I only have one other problem. For some reason I go link dead from time to time which I am sure is a problem with my set up, but when I reconnect it seems my ship has managed to continue flying without me. I end up hoofing it half way around the planet to catch up to it. Not sure if it is possible but would be nice if ship stopped when my butt disappeared .
