    Survival, Coop, Private Dedicated Server, 3 players (4 limit).
    Default game options except for 1) no degradation, 2) CPU enabled


    SEED-ID: multiple/various

    MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: No

    Reproducibility: Sometimes (Died in air twice, lost inventory twice)
    Severity: Minor (very annoying but no crash)

    Type: Player, Dropped Inventory, Item loss

    Summary: Dying in the air results in dropped inventory falling through terrain and being permanently lost.

    Description: Being killed while airborne will result in the dropped inventory container falling through the terrain and then disappearing from the playfield (or being hidden from view). Issue seen when being killed by NPC enemies (Zrx) while either seated in an SV or just while using the jetpack.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    Type 1) - Use jetpack to fly above fall damage height
    - While airborne be killed by enemy NPC
    - Observe dropped inventory container

    Type 2) - Be seated in SV cockpit (open type) at moderate height
    - While seated be killed (eg by component explosion) by enemy NPC
    - Become unseated and fall from ship on death
    - Observe dropped inventory container
    - Possible 2nd issue/suggestion: Ship only partly damaged & remains suspended in the air, unreachable by respawned player.

    Unrelated:
    Love the game very much, keep up the great work.

    Additional question: Have you been the HOST of the COOP or a client?

    Hi - on each occasion I was the client. Ping to host is generally stable between 30-50ms.

    i can confirm this partially. some of my players on my server and even i experienced this some times, not always but sometimes. that the backbag falls into the ground. especially above water, when getting shot out of the cockpit etc. the backbag is lost.

    Can confirm!
    Not only when "flying" but also when jumping, or in general, just being in air!

    This happens 1-3 times during a normal week, on the HWS server, and is a huge problem!

    server: hws eu

    ps: have tried to reproduce it in sp, but seems to not be happening there!

  6. Hummel, this is very easy to reproduce even in single player.
    I put a video together for you.
    Jump up in the air and use the command destroyme. I was able to reproduce it about once in every 3-4 tries.
    Have the command pre typed so you just jump up in the air, quickly open command window, and hit enter to send the command.

    I can reproduce this all day long just like the rocks dropping through the terrain in that other thread here,
    https://empyriononline.com/threads/rocks-throws-one-of-the-pieces-somewhere-6964.90964/#post-373377
    It's the same problem in both cases. Objects aren't colliding with the terrain and are falling right through it.

    Here's the video for this thread. You can see the backpack fall through on the third try around 1:35. Again, single player, so no server/client issues are causing this.


    This happens with backpacks, logs, surface rock drops (stone and ore), anything that can drop on the ground. I can even make it happen when throwing things out of my inventory from time to time.

  8. The thread is now marked as "fixed in next update" so we have to now wait until the next update and recheck it. If you are still seeing it afterwards then report it again. We don't know when the next update is going to be though, and there are quite a few things marked as such. Wait and see I suppose.
