Thread: IMPORTANT! Vehicle Dissappearing Reports

Well, this happens to me quite frequently in my speeder bike. The only possible pattern I have seen is, it frequently happens when the vehicle is slowing down for one reason or another. Either I am slowing it down, I have just hit an uphill slope and am slowing down, I have hit a tree or other object, or I have jumped over a small crevice and hit the other side. However I can think of at least one time when it happened on a smooth, flat surface. For me, it seems that there might be a tie-in with slowing down.

I submitted a bug report, but I will post here as well.



Every time I travel from Mos Entha to the player city I live in, I get close to Mos Taike and *poof* no more vehicle. If I take my speederbike out for a drive to go shopping, 95-99% of the time, when I leave, if I take over 30-60 seconds, no vehicle.


I destroyed my really good speeder and bought one, which is total garbage btw, and am going to see how this new one works.

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

- Travin






Store your vehicle right after repairing and if it auto stores later you will generate the repaired vehicle instead of the older used one.

Naboo, Kettemoor, Swoop bikes


Travelling in a group of three between a player city SW of Keren to Deeja Peak all three bikes disappeared at the same time. They had been in use for varying lengths of time and were in various stages of repair.


Later in a group of 5 two of the bikes disappeared at the same time.


I'm not seeing posts about multiple vehicles. Nobody else has a Swoop gang?

I have been using a new vehicle since my post on the 24th, and guess what? No more problems, I will admit that my vehicle was acting up from the moment I made it on the first day, such as having a couple of them, it auto-repairing itself, and just wonder if that had something to do with it.



Has anyone else that had problems, made and used a new vehicle to see if this is repeatable?

Mines constantly disappearing, all over Naboo, does not matter the particular area I am in. When exit the vehicle to fight, very, very often i turn around to the site of a disappeared vehicle. It also happens when I am surveying so it is definitely not from being attacked.



This is extremely annoying when you 2000+m from anywhere

I have had my bike disappear on me quite a few times all over tatooine/dantooine/naboo/corellia.

I have also ran into a problem with my bike not wanting to store. It's been getting worse by the day.

I'll hop onto my bike for a quick run to bestine from just outside of AH and when I get to bestine it will take me about 5 min to store the darn thing.

I also had a few problems that when I get off my bike the darn thing will take off on me! (darn ghosts ) Only once did the thing take off and fly about 20m away from me. It was quite funny watching the darn thing turn around and take off. LOL!!

I understand that some of these ghostings are from getting off my bike too fast but the last one I desribed here was not. I was in one spot for about a min before I actually got off the thing and it took off. /shrug

Hope some of this helps a bit

Just had this happen this morning around 0500 EST. I was outside of a guild hall about 1k outside of Coronet and left my speederbike sitting on the walkway at the foot of the stairs.


I went inside, put up some stuff on my vendor then came back out and the speederbike was gone. Checked my datapad and it was in the "Generate Vehicle" state rather than "store".

Has anyone noticed that, when you cross over a body of water, you are both mounted and swimming?


My autostores always occur after a hard bout of travelling, like 3+kilometers.


And sometimes they are not autostores, but instead the vehicle is somewhere else....


I was following my brother out to a POI. He was about 1 kilometer ahead of me when he stopped to tame a baby he came across. He started cussing that his vehicle disappeared. A few moments later I told him that his vehicle didn't disappear, its right here. Right here was over 800 meters from where he was at along his path of travel.


It appears that the server thinks the vehicles are "somewhere else", like they can't accept anything moving that much distance that fast and so it puts the vehicle where it should be.


The next time a vehicle autostores, reverse your path and see if it is still there. You'd be suprised how often it is.

I am on The FarStar server and i have a Swooperbike and i am realy realy annoyed about the game. It is the game of dreams in RPG-Family to PC, but realy i have never seen or played a game like this with so many buggs. This game suck because of all the buggs.


Well to the bike disseapering - I do a lot of mission all over Tantooine and it makes no different what place you are at or planet, it disseaper anyway and all the time. In bestine S mission Terminal i did 15 missions in row and well, almost at every mission wp i got i went into battle and had the bike so i could see it all the time and i tryed to change how far away the bike was from me and it made no different there either.


About 4 min it takes then it is gone.. away .. and i tell ya .. i am a bite lame at the moment because off this problem. Have to run almost 80% off the times i do missions and now i had to surrender the scout so i cant make a camp no more. And it is not fun to Have to waist 15 skill points to have scout so you can make a camp every time the vehicles is gone.. Hope you fix it or.. just skip the vehicles and make som Pets than run at same speed as vehicles..

Gah, I don't have alot of specifics this time, but these things have happened to me at least twice, each.


Sometimes, when my vehicle has disappeared and I must set a camp or find a town to recall it, it drops down from the sky rather than fading into view at ground level.


Also, lately I occasionally dismount my speeder, only to have it immediately pick up and drive off back the way I came. It usually pulls up about 20 or 40 meters away, and spins back to face our direction of travel.


Anyone else had these things occur?

Server: Eclipse


Planets: Corellia and Tatooine


Travelling from Mos Espa on Tat to the mountains SW of it in an X34 landspeeder. After 3-5 minutes of travel (I probably was aggro'ed but I peaced [via the UI] immediately and out distanced the creatures) I stopped and immediately exited when the Vehicle dissappeared. Hoof it to the closest player city and call it out.


Across the river W. of Fort Sentinel on Corellia I went between 2 of my harvesters (I got out and maintained one then jumped in to go 64-128 m to another and when I got out the X34 boomaranged back. I know I was not aggroed that time.

This happens to me numerous time a night. I spend most of my time lately tending to harvesters and surveying. It will happen at least 10 times in an evening with in about a 4 hour period. What I have noticed is that when I try to exit the vehicle, the first option is to get on the vehicle and then I have the option to get off the vehicle.


If I try to get off while still in motion and click the get on and then the get off immediately, my swoop will be 60 to 80 meters behind me or disappear all together. If I wait until I come to a complete stop and then click the get on vehicle then pause for a second I can then click the get off vehicle and I have no problems.


The most important thing I have found is that it seems that the server has to catch up with you after you stop. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but after I come to a stop lairs and creature will take a second to be visible. Then I have no problem getting of my vehicle and it staying with me.



Hop this helps
