It's okay guys, you can save those CPU cycles for something else.

That was the same incursion a lot of my video was of.
Yours was pretty entertaining though - you barely got 2 feet in your car half the time XD I was imagining Benny Hill music playing watching that.
Yeah, looks like!Quote:

Amack, until I see patch notes, "vehicle despawn fixed" i will post vids if I can. Maybe more because it was a failed incursion, but it was pretty funny. And I have plenty of cpu cycles to burn.
I'm setting a personal achievement to have it disappear on me past my 2 times of which is my record. My achievement will be self satisfaction.
Just saying, it's not worth the trouble, but if you have spare time and would like to... then have at it.
They are aware of the issue, and they do realize what a hassle it is, especially at incursions of all places.
They are working on it.
Wait I have a better way to end this discussion. You want to know how I know I am right? I'm not in the time out corner. It's that simple really.
Just give them some time.
Every car ride I get ghosted off but its better than being booted off every 30 to 45 minutes. Just sayin.
das boot...Quote:

the latter one doesn't make much sense though, because you still can get to relatively empty one and even do an incursion without disappearing cars, players and mobs.
No, I'm pretty sure many people came back to try it out. The servers literally could not handle the player telemetry data.
if that's the case, then trion should reach out to CCP or Blizzard for help - they know how to handle highload MMOs :)Quote:

Bro do you even HED-GP or B-R??Quote:

Okay, they seem to still be having problems locking down the issue. Let's start by listing as many symptoms as we can, and then trying to find the common denominator.
- Vehicles disappear at random.
- This can happen whether you are alone or traveling in a group.
- If you are traveling alone, you will only see your vehicle despawn. However if multiple people are traveling side by side (literally) they all despawn at the same time.
- It can happen seemingly in the middle of nowhere, or just trying to reach the next yellow bubble of an incursion.
- We see a huge jump in the frequency of this right after a DLC is released, and thus many more people becoming active on the servers.
- I can eliminate the problem almost entirely, by playing in a very quiet shard. I rarely see it happen to me in a quiet shard, if at all.
- It happens to us many times by simply driving too close (towards, or alongside) to the colored bubbles of various events.
The current theory is phase shifting. Phases filling up and by shifting players to a new one while driving would cause the problem to happen. I figured by lowering the number of maximum players per phase, they could easily test this by 'forcing' a driving player into a new phase. I could not discount this theory in any way shape or form. It seemed to fit all the symptoms, but yet, according to the live stream might not be the case. If filling up a said phase is not what is causing it, they have other engine problems, and I don't see how we can possibly help.
Outside of the obvious Incursion spots, I see this happen most often when approaching a Conflict Site. Just thought I'd throw that out there.Quote:

Like they said, its been going on since beta, or before... it just becomes much less frequent at times, and much more frequent at other times.Quote:

Well I think it is something wrong with that mechanic and instead of say 25 seconds till the vehicle would disappear well for some reason it is doing it at anytime randomly which is why we get booted off at random times.
If any actual vehicle mechanic was to blame, I would see it regardless of what shard I am in. I do not see it happen in the quiet shards... I can't remember the last time I did.Quote:

Pulled out of IDR a few weeks ago, made the left in my Duni, traveled about 100 feet and had the wheels come off.
Right after that the vehicle started floating.
I took a series of screenshots as it got higher/higher.
Passed over a few clusters of hellbugs, archers shooting snotrockets up at me.
Stuck with it for about 10 minutes.
I got bored so I went to a WM break with a different account, told a friend that after the break was over he should port to my 'toon.
He ported to 1st 'toon, saw my Duni, realized he was about a half mile up, and did a Wile E. Coyote fall into the ocean somewhere out east of San Quentin. So I went back to 1st 'toon and waited.
About 3-4 minutes later Duni despawned and I did the W. E. Coyote plunge.
In fact when traveling into a colored area, you may notice your vehicle shimmer, like a shield effect. That is the exact point when the bug occurs.
Do you work for trion? You getting a commision?Quote:

Wish I'd a thought that one up.Quote:

Two things to note.
1. I was not able to reach tier 1 in rewards, despite the number of people. (2 doing emergencies and 4 doing the siege)
2. My car never despawned during the whole event.
If you didnt have such a good attitude and sense of humor id consider calling you a fan boy. But since you do, i wont.Quote:

Edit: Nope nevermind, I'm gonna send a PM
I wish I had took a picture of the time I rolled the Duni... it was weird to say the least to watch it turn itself over...
Anyways, for all those that are having the disappearing vehicle problem... do please submit a bug report in-game using the Settings area, "Report Bug" feature so that the developers know that its not just a few people, but like EVERYONE....
Amack considers me to be one of those problems.Quote:

And nobody was driving around me but I was doing a incursion.
Exactly Hey U! That is the phase shift and exact point where it bugs out with too much activity.Quote:

But not every single time.
Happened to me last night during an incursion, thought it was a new feature to help get the player out of their car faster to start killing things faster.Quote:

But it always cheers me up to see random 5 or 6 other players vehicles disappear as they are beside me, comedy gold..
