My bike has "auto-stored" a few times also. When checking harvs and I "dis-mount" the bike, all 3 instances the bike stored itselfin less than a minute and I was not any more than 10m from the bike at all times.

This happens to me as well, everyday.

In addition, I have found while trying to run missions, my speeder will autostore after I get out to fight the MOB's. I then have to make a camp, regenerate the vehicle, and move on.

I was running some missions for an NPC in Mos Espa, that consisted of checking on locations away from the city and reporting back. Without fail, every time I got about 2-3k away from the city, the speeder would autostore.

I've had my speeder autostore with verying frequencies, ranging from once every 30 minutes, to once every five.

I'll just vote that you look into the warping that takes place when I dismount either a vehicle or a pet. Its REAL annoying.

Here is a thought: Does the vehicle loose track if YOU disappear? I am wondering if you fix the player character disappear problem if this vehicle problem would resolve itself.

The thought is clearly this; if the vehicle is supposed to auto store when the character is out of range, it would dissappear if it has lots "sight" of the player. This usually happens when crossing a server boundary. Sometimes it just happens. No clue as to why this has not been 100% fixed, but I am wondering if you fix the player disappearing issue, that this problem would be resolved.

Everytime a player dissappears and is in my group, they become out of range. If the vehicle is seeing the same thing, then it would auto store.

Just a thought. /shrug

OH, and disable the only calling from City and Camps until this problem is resolved. Not fair that we should suffer over this

I would like to suggest that until you fix the issue where vehicles disappear that you make players able to call them anywhere. It is rather frustrating to go out on a mission and have your vehicle disappear while you are completin it, and being forced to run to your next mission then back to town.

I had my vehicle auto-store while riding. I had just entered an area where there were several player houses, although it was not a city.

Also, I often have to bring up the radial menu twice to get the command I want; for example, I'm riding, and I wish to dismount. The first time I bring up the radial, it says "Enter Vehicle", even though I'm on it; the second time, it says "Exit Vehicle"

As a side note, how about a waypoint to your vehicle when you get off it? I sometimes have trouble finding a dismounted vehicle afte I've wandered off a bit.

Yep, when riding from theed to the Weapons research facility in naboo, its like clockwork and our bikes disappear every time. Server Boundary? Nothing else really happens, we get to the area and they dissappear.

I have SB Audigy 2 with EAX 3 (i think) ... and i am also getting the VERY VERY VERY annoying and painfull Weezing/buzzing sound... it most often occurs when vehicle (mine or others) stops moving then starts moving again .. kinda like the slowdown + speedup noises together sends the EAX downhill...

Have also experienced the "riding .... oh nowi am suddenly running " "bug"

/ Marsek Elori (BRIA)

Yesterday, I was cruising around Corellia on my X34, and had the following bugs occur:

1. About 4 times out of 5, when I exited my vehicle, it would *immediately* disappear. According to the Datapad, it was still "out" (i.e., "Store" option was there.) I'd then "store" it and be able (*if* in a city or camp) to generate it successfully. I've not yet had a vehicle disappear on me while inside it or moving.

2. Kor Vella garage behaved oddly. I pulled up "into" the garage, then got a "you can't see this object" error when trying to repair it, either inside the vehicle or dismounted from it. Kept moving around and trying other things, and it didn't successfully do a repair until I tried it some ways away from the garage building proper - out in the "street" that runs in front of it.

And not a bug, but just a small peeve: the "idling" noise of dismounted vehicles seems too loud and annoying for my tastes, and can be heard through the walls of my shop. I find it a bit annoying when I have visitors and keep hearing their vehicles rumbling outside. (Also, the sound itself seems a bit too "internal combustion engine-y" to my ears.) Suggestion: make vehicles silent when nobody's riding them?

The only problem that I really get on vehicles is dismounting while moving. No matter what speed I'm going at, from top speed, to an inch a second, if my speederbike is moving when I dismount, I get shot off, sometimes 100m behind from my speederbike. This just gets annoying because I've been shot off into groups of agros, and am too far away to reach my speederbike intime before being incapped. That's just about it really, and I wish you guys the best of luck twarting some of these problems... especially with all the egg nog in you.

I'm having this problem as well. I can be completely stopped, dismount and i'm catapulted/ shot off 50-100m away frommy bike. One time in front of the starport I dismounted and got shott off str8 to the travel terminals. That was the only time dismount warping was convenient

Vehicles are still storing while riding them. We, then have to make a camp (if we have scouting skills) and call it out again or are forced to run the rest of the way. I am also seeing some storing issues with vehicles. In addition, when dismounting the vehicle, it ejects you approximately 100meters from the vehicle or the vehicle itself will slide 100meters from you. This is what I have seen so far...

aside from the occasional auto-store (real fun when you are in the middle of a lake or something and you go from riding fast to swimming slow) I have seen a couple occasions where i dismount from the bike and it then goes into auto-pilot mode and takes off...sometimes hundreds of meters i have to chase after it...mildly annoying but still funny to watch.
