It happened to me 3 times on Tatooine with a landspeeder in about 30 mins time. Twice while I was on a relatively flat planeas mobs were springing up around me. I think there's some kind of collision between the vehicle and the newly created mobs. A two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time kind of thing. At least not while new things are being created.

I can't seem to find a pattern to it really, but it happened several times this weekend. Once on Lok (Intrepid server) out checking my harvesters, I had the vehicle targeted, and when the vehicle poofed, I looked at my targeting box and it read like 17231m away, then the box closed too. I was near a player city, so I ran the 2k to the city and recalled the vehicle.

The next time was on Tatooine, I had just repaired the vehicle, and yes, now that you mention it, I did notice that the vehicle wasn't losing durability as I rode it (it's a swoop so I'd definately have noticed) I crashed shortly after that happened, and when I returned and pulled out the swoop, it was missing about 15% durability, which was about right for the amount of time I had been riding it.

Ya know, the vehicle disappearing isn't even so bad, it's jumping off and being warped hundreds, sometimes thousands of meters away from the vehicle and your harvester or waypoint. A friend in my guild got off his ride after reaching hit target WP for a mission, and was warped right into the middle of an imperial camp, and was pretty much instantly killed Hope a fix is in the works.

Happens 99% of the time I use ny Speederbike Swoop. Sometimes I am riding it, sometimes after I dismount. There is no pattern, it just keeps occuring.

I had it happen to me in the Swamp on Corellia. I thought I had hit a rock or something.

I've had it happen several times and all over the place. Mostly on long trips across Tatooine, out in the middle of nowhere. Funny thing happened today when entering Bestine. Exited my x34 and poof, all my armor was gone! Not just from my body but disappeared from my inventory. Good thing I had a spare set!

This happened to me once today. I was entering Coranet from a location just a minute or 2 outside of town. It just diappeared from under me. My first thought was it was lag issue as I normally experience some lag in Coranet.

I was using a Landspeeder which I had just crafted earilerin the day. I had only had it out of my datapad that time maybe 5 minutes. I did't notice anything unusal before it happened.

Everytime it happens to me, it's random, going up a hill or flat path, creatures or no creatures in sight, but the most common is when I'm on a flat surface with Num lock on to auto run.

I had a vehicle self store on Scylla, just in front of the Mos Eisley shuttleport last night.

Had come about 1000m from my house,stopped at the bank,hopped off to ask the droid how long until the next shuttle. Landspeeder blinked out as soon as I hit use on the droid.

Not really a problem, but the shuttle was going to take longer than driving, so Ire-generated it immediately at the cost of a few hitpoints.

Was all over Lok and Talus for 4 - 5 hours with no trouble at all. Would mount, ride 200 meters, dismount, survey, repeat. Had to have done it 100 times easy.

Went to tatooine, vanished 2 times within 1 hour. 1st was near Bestine. Second was near Geico.

I'm not sure if it's related, but I also have had a bug that I assumed was fixed in the last patch, but I just experienced it yesterda. I can hardly complain about it, but it puzzles me. Thus far I haven't seen it mentioned:

Adventuring on Lok a few days ago, I had my X34 shot up by NPCs after they incapped me. So when I got into town again (by shuttleport), I started using the swoop I had in reserve. Needless to say, it deteriorates faster than the X34, and early last night it got below 50% just as I arrived back in my player city. In fact, I passed a guildmate and commented on how beat up I'd gotten, my action was down to 1/800 (I hate disease) and my swoop was down to the point it was flaming and exploding.

I went back to my house, stored my swoop, and puttered around a bit between my house and shop. I was going to go check on my harvesters, so I went to my datapad and tried to bring out my swoop. The radial menu said 'store' instead of 'generate vehicle', so I selected that. Then again, as it did not change. The third time, I got 'Generate Vehicle' and got my vehicle...at 100%! No damage, save the slight hit point hit for pulling it out of the data pad in the first place.

This had happened a number of times to me after getting slain in the wilderness with my speeder still out before the last patch. I would get slain with my vehicle still out where my body fell, I would call my vehicle back to my datapad and then pull it out again -- and it would be fully repaired.

I didn't think it was still happening, at least it didn't the last time I was slain, but it happened last night WITHOUT my being slain...

Anyone else having this happen? For a bug, it's pretty beneficial to me, but bad for the profession

Radiant server, Naboo

Proceeded south from Theed to Amadala's beach, taking some slight damage on the way. Then headed to the Gungan Sacred place directly across the mountains. About halfway through the mountains, vehicle disappeared and I had to make camp. Recalled vehicle and proceed south without incident.

After receiving the mission from Boss Nass, proceed back north to destination, went directly through the mountains again. Vehicle disappeared about halfway through the mountains. Recalled vehicle after getting out of the mountains and proceeded to target.

Then had to go back to Gungan sacred place, but took a longer way around, ensuring that I didn't go up any steep cliffs or drop downs, vehicle did not auto store.

Returned to Theed via shuttle - received missions that were north and down the cliff. Ran the speederbike straight off the falls with no loss of vehicle. Upon entering combat, the vehicle disappeared.

Recalled vehicle, proceeded to next mission which was SW of Theed, went up the cliff side along a steep incline, but not the true cliff face, no problems, but vehicle disappeared about halfway across the Theed plains.

I have asked and the CSR's will not compensate you for the additional repairs your vehicleneeds when it autostores.

Shadowfire server, either tat or Naboo:

One instance, Tatooine: travelling from Mos Espa to player city some 2000+m away. Landspeeder of my own making. Drove past aggro's, took some personal fire, did not engage, spammed Peace to get them off my back. Having lost my /maskscent to subsequent creature, stopped some distance away to refresh it, got back in. Vehicle disappeared before I could move again. Note that my driving was done by Numlock key.

Naboo: driving from Theed to harvesters, /maskscent up, using Numlock key. Pull up to the harvs and halted, dismounted. Vehicle disappears immediately. No aggro or lost /maskscent this trip.

Tatooine, player city: Leave the landspeeder idling while I hit up bank terminal and converse. Maskscent is probably up, travel to the location was done with both keypressing and Numlock. While I wander less than 100m or so away, vehicle disappears.

Things to point out in case it matters:

• I tend to travel long distances using Numlock exclusively, and steer with mouse


• I have /maskscent up all the time, and stop to refresh it if it is lost to drive-by creatures


• don't usually stop to engage aggros if I am driving


• the above all happened in the space of one play session with no relogs, last night [Monday 12/22]


• I've had instances where I noted the vehicle 'healed' damage during the disappearances, but this was before i read this thread and actually started paying attention to details


• Vehicle did not appear to heal during the above instances


• First vehicle, self-made, have not had any Store problems with it [ie., inability to store or duplication via radial]
