Feedback - Vehicle Flipped On Spawn

[imded]

Why are we coming in upside down in the veh tent or building?

Happened to me several times on Sunday and different towns.

[GOPHUR]

Please let me know where this happens so I can investigate and try to reproduce.

[ruprect]

At the end of Campaign #64 in the Veurne-Diksmude depot, my atg upon first spawn in came in on its sie. But upon despawning and respawnign I was fine. However, this happened again when I left the town and came back. Seemed like a few guns in town had exploded (meaning they fell through the floor?). I looked on the town map right after I heard an explosion and it seemd like a gun oriniating at the AB moved away at warp speed and disappeared. Hope this helps isolate it.

Not really but that isn't your fault. What we need and Gophur was asking for is what we always need when a bug is reported, a process for replication.

If we can't "make it happen on demand" we have almost zero chance of finding it. That's just the way it works.

This means:-

1. What happened, what is being reported as a bug.

2. Where it happened and other circumstances that pertain to experiencing the bug again, ie: it can be repeated

3. How you created "the bug" event ie: what you were doing that causes it to happen

4. All the above that form a means to replicate the bug event, because if we can't experience it it's unlikely we can fix it. To experience it, we have to be able to replicate it, on demand.

Otherwise, it's almost worthless reporting it. Not because we don't care, but because we won't be able to track it down and you're going to expect we will. Frustrating for us as well as you.

[ruprect]

Hmm, well, I gave you points 1-3, so if you would spawn in at depot I reported in the unit I reported you could see if it was repeatable. What did I miss so I can better report the problem?

[DOC]

Replication advice for all readers not a specific individual. Read OP and it will be clearer.

I remember spawning upside down 2-3 weeks ago in one of the FBs in the Lokeren area (Possible Lokeren-Wetteren FB). It's hard to test it as you can't spawn at FBs in offline mode AFAIK.

Started: Nov 09 20:25 Stopped: Nov 09 20:26

Unit: Flak 28

Spawned in upside down. When I tried to move I stared to fall through the ground.

I remember us losing alot of tigers last campaign for this bug (as in it happened repeatedly in different locations, not we have alot of tigers). In those same fbs often vehicle spawn had terrain(berms) in or very close, and the tank itself was clipping thru vehicle spawn roof. We found in order to not lose them we would never start them or try to move but just re-spawn repeatedly until we got in a bay that had clearance (though on occasion there was no way to spawn or all our armour would be blown up by people trying to leave vehicle). have also suffered this bug in trucks atg aa guns etc in bays that appear clear, you just start rolling uncontrollably almost like your centre point was below ground if you try to make any movement the equipment will explode (reminds me of what happens if you drive into a river now)

s! good luck i try to .rport locations ive seen this occur in.

Martini is working on this bug today.

I am not sure, but this is affected at first spawn on mission only.

1.32.5.7 not fixed, flipped truck at shilde AB offline. I will bet, every next spawn will be right

[GOPHUR]

Reopened ticket #4892.

[lure]

I've had this once in a laffly when I spawned at Schilde AB in 1.32.5.7.

I can't replicate but I noticed some things:

- It was my first sortie after restarting the client.

- It looked like either the truck spawned in with some rotation momentum on one of it axis or the trucked spawned in clipping into something and then followed by some violent movement like when your vehicle want's to "unclip".

Dunno... not many clues.

[lure]

Ok I just triggerd this bug 5 times in a row in 1.32.5.7 offline mode:

To replicate:

1. Start client in offline training mode

2. Select a Laffly

3. Select Schilde AB

4. Spawn

5. Truck spawns on it's side or in such angle that it immediately flips over on it's side.

(6. ALT-F4 to start from step 1 again)

This worked 5 times out of 5 for me.

[lure]

Addition: Restarting the game client to "reset" the bug can be replaced with changing persona and spawning on a mission on that 2nd persona. When you go back to first persona the bug triggers again.

[clone9cz]

You don't need to switch persona, it is problem of changed speed of world loading in new version.

I was tested it few times in current order [schidle, Kolbenz, Schilde, Kolbenz ...], Lafly S20 was flipped every time at schilde only.

Switching between Schidle, Ant work fine.
