Here's a possible new bug that although it's only ahppened to me once, I know some guildmates have had it happen too.


Basically when going to the Theed garage for repairs, I try to dismount. No response. I try it from radial menu, macro hotkey, and console command. Nothing. I got a guy that was there to duel me to see if incapping would work: got incapped laid on top of my swoop for 60sec then got up and was still mounted. I could not /logout and ended up having to /quit and reboot. Like I say, only happened to me once but others have had it happen as well. I have a feeling it's to do with the server boundary crossing on the bridges coming into W. Theed, and is probably related to the "Unable to store" bug (which happens me almost as much as warping).

HowlingMad Murdok, Bria Server, Naboo - just north of Keren shuttleport south,between 00:00 and 01:00 GMT. I had a newbie speeder rental on my datapad that let me use it past 0 uses remaining. I actually made it to -2 uses remaining. I discovered that if I just let the bike disappear (*poof*)on its own, it would not remove itself from the datapad. I was then able to generate it and ride again. When I finally told the bike to "store", it erased itself from my datapad. I'm wondering how long I would have had the rental if I didn't tell it to "store".

Before the fix I had the occasional problem where my vehicle would teleport away from my character when I dismount. Now it is my character that teleports away from the vehicle, and from what I've observed, in the direction I was facing at the time I dismounted.

I'm also having the problem of not being able to store my vehicle but when I check my datapad and it gives me the option of "Generate Vehicle" I don't worry about it.

I've seen the bug where vehicles that are repaired suddenly are no longer repaired but it was a few days ago and I don't remember where we were.

I wish I knew exactly when these occurances happened but I know I had at least one occurance of the no-storing problem here:

i don't know what it is but in the last week this has been a huge problem for me (the warping issue)..



it happens whether i just dismount or whether i store the vehicle..



right now it seems to happen to me 50% of the time (more frequently in city than in wild)

Yup, I've had the warping and the cloning issue.
Cloning happened right outside coronet starport (probably something to do with it ) on chimeara-euro.
The warping happens... every single time I dismount anywhere on any planet... same server.

LOL, yesterday i had a huge issue with the vehicle repair bug on 2 seperate servers (Kettemore and Tarquinas)


it would go as follows.


Repair Speeder..


go to mission way point, get out and fight the imperial scum. Vehicle would then for some reason automatically store. I would regenerate vehicle and it would be in the un-repaired state.


how frustrating..

I lost this thread for a while, but I've been keeping track of the bugs I've run into:

Speeder Stored for no apparent reason (Auto-Store Problem):
Axinnear Drucan
8:31pm (Pacific Time) (June 9th I think)
-262 -3246
Corellia, Lowca


Speeder won't Store:
Axinnear Drucan
9:45pm (Pacific Time) (June 9th I think)
4106 -3723
Tatooine, Lowca


Player Teleports away from speeder when dismounting problem (Auto-store problem also I think):
Axinnear Drucan
6:43pm (Pacific Time) (June 10th I think)
3636 -6389
Tatooine, Lowca


I did find that when the speeder won't store, it will eventually disappear after a minute or two.

I've been getting launched away from my speeder a lot lately on Naboo near Kaadara and Moenia. Almost launched me into an aggro mob at one point. One time I wentto get back on the bike and it didn't give me the option to mount. I tried to store it and said it was too far away to store. I looked at my datapad and itgaveme the option togenerate a new bike. So, I generated itnext to the old one and rode off.

Server : Kauri
Char : Louve

Time : between 18:30 and 19:10 (GMT +1)
Location : Naboo


1. Me warping


- 1st, for 1 sec, my char jumped forward in the direction of the bike (I mean if the bike was pointing to S, my char warped to the south)
(had no time to look for my char's coordinates)
- then, it jumped back, behind the bike (opposite direction of the bike)


Avatar End Position : -541 / 604
Vehicle did not move (it was between 2 harvesters I wanted to check)
Distance to vehicle : 64m in front of me
Vehicle Pos. : -593 / 566


2. Me warping

- like above, me warping in front of the bike then jumped back, behind the bike


Avatar End Position : -774 / 441
Vehicle did not seem to move
Distance to vehicle : 15m in front of me
Vehicle Pos. : -782 / 452


3. Cannot store vehicle


- The option was available on the radial menu, but did not do anything.
- In the datapad, Store was unavailable. Instead, I could Generate the vehicle.
- Selected Exit -> jump in front of the bike (direction in which the bike is pointing)


Avatar End Position : -1255 / 132
Vehicle did not seem to move
Distance to vehicle : (forgot to write it down) about 35 - 45m in front of me
Vehicle Pos. : -1242 / 93


- Vehicle stored about 2-3 mins after, without doing anything on my end.




I would say about 95% of the time, my char first jumps briefly forward in the direction of the bike, then jumps back, behind the bike.


If this happens in crowdy areas, the first warp has not even the time to display all the graphics (once, I remember, I had only my char floating in a blue sky).Guess it's due to my config, kinda slow.


Hope this helps.

I don't get those bugs. This is what I get...


When I go to repair my speeder I get the message 'You can't see that object'. I'm on the Radiant

server and I've tried this in Mos Eisley and Theed to no avail. I've made sure my vehicle is selected

and I've logged out several times to try to get it to work. I've put my vehicle (X-34) into the datapad

and brought it back out. Same problem.


My speeder's going to be junk soon, and I really need it.


Thanks for any advice,

GLM

I found one thing that usually stops the warping bug. Once I come to a complete stop, I wait. Sometimes 15-20 seconds, then dismount. No warping. I thought it was hardcoded or the bike "threw" you because you didn't stop long enough for the server to catch up... The other bug that bothers me is when I am lying prone and shooting something either teleport closer for whatever reason or "warp" farther away, usually out of the 64m radius, and with a Rifle, I have to shoot at 60m to get any good accuracy, so it become very annoying. Is that part of this bug or seperate?
