Disappearing vehicle discussion

[Etaew]

I still find it great that when they were talking about this, and asking for more information about how to reproduce it, that it happened to Greg

This is where I have to shut my mouth or I will be doomed to the time out corner for sure.

it almost seems like a loading time issue, during incursions i see loads of peoples vehicles vanish as they pass a certain point, 8 times out of 10 my vehicle will also vanish passing said point, obviously the whole world doesn't load up when you load the game up, could have something to do with the overlaps on loading areas given it happens to various players at almost the same spot

I've noticed this too. I also noticed one time that every time I was boosting and jumped off a hill or any other bump my duni disappeared and it seemed to be happening to everyone else around me too. This was during an incursion as well.

I'm trying to keep track of when and where it happens but it hasn't happened to me recently (like for the last couple days, yeah! .

I've only had it happen when I am running with a group; arc falls, sieges, incursions. But when it happens it is never just me, it happens to every one I can see. It never happens when I am by myself and doing rep missions.

Go back to page 1 and read my explanation as to why this happens, please.

[Amack]

It's not 100% correct Haif... if I corrected you bad things would ensue.

Point being, this thread nor the theories in it, will help us at this point.

I have noticed that in general, things get slow around incursions and arkfalls. And that lag seems to continue even after the event. I can press the V for my vehicle to spawn and have to wait a couple of seconds. It certainly looks like a load problem

[hey u]

Has happened to me 2 times in 1 incursion now. I see people all around getting booted off like me. incursion in mount tam.

See if I can go for 3 now?

The only thing I'm aware of that despawns vehicles is a timer when no one is on the vehicle.
I don't know how long it is. 10-15s or so.

My guess is that somehow the timer either doesn't stop when someone goes on said vehicle, or somehow it's activated while driving, either by the program thinking no one is on the vehicle or something similar. Lag maybe?

That's my guess anyways.
