Hi folks. I also just re-encountered the mining bug. Details:
Time: Feb 19, ~4:24 PM Pacific Time
Location: Ancien, Armanhac, in the scrublands
Bug description: I started mining a tin node. The game lagged for a split second. My character keeps swinging her pickaxe, but the ore remains the same size (although there is an animation of small rocks breaking as if there's an ore inside breaking). I obtain the items (tin ore and gems) as usual. When I walk away, the tin ore is still there, whole and unbroken. After a few seconds, it disappears.
Additional details:
- This bug was fixed for me this morning.
- It only happens for tin, and not for other ore.
- Restarting the game seems to fix it for a bit
UPDATE:
I was able to consistently reproduce this bug now. 4 times so far. It seems that you need to have the game running for a while before the bug appears. (Mining tin works fine at first, but then gets bugged after x amount of time.) The first reproduction, the bug appeared after 40 minutes of the game running. The second and third reproductions, the bug appeared after 11 minutes of the game running. The 4th reproduction, it took 7 minutes for the bug to appear. (In this last reproduction, tin ore was fine at 6 minutes. Then the next node at 7 minutes was bugged.) In all cases, I was moving around the zone of Armanhac, gathering, killing goats, occasionally mining.
