#Map not loading after exiting while falling in broken map space

Issue:
I’m unable to play on “B2P” map, it stays in “connecting…” screen, other players can see the notification “Midas has entered the map” but after a couple of minutes it fails to load the game and shows “Network Connection Lost” error.

Repro steps:

  1. Enter the map
  2. Enter a Star Wars cave
  3. Open the first blockage by killing the storm troopers
  4. (In my case) See that the map has not completely load
  5. Go ahead and see if it loads
  6. Falls from the edge of the loaded cave
  7. (In my case) See that the fall is endless
  8. Exit the map/game to continue playing
  9. Try to re-enter the map
  10. (In my case) See that “connecting…” screent takes a lot
  11. Confirm with friends that they get the notification “<your name> has entered the map”
  12. See the “Network Connection Lost” error
  13. Confirm you are able to enter other maps with no issues

Platform:

  • XBOX Series S
  • iPad (using Cloud)

Guess cause:
After you exit a map, if you go in again, you are spawned in the last position you were in. My wild guess is that my last position on that map is out of bounds due to have fall in an non fully loaded cave, hence, it fails to load the sprite character in the map so it fails to load the game.

Evidence:
I added 4 images, first, going through the cave and see that it has not completely load; second, going into the edge to see if it loads; third, falling from the map indefinitely; fourth , after exiting the game, see the error after unable to load the character in the map

Once you leave to lobby while under the map you lose your world, theres many other bug reports on the same thing… the only way you could of avoided this was to fall all the way down and eventually you hit the bottom where you then starve yourself to death.

they need a respawn button

Thanks for the report, @wise salmon. Will pass this along to the team!

I recreated this on someone else’s world and clipped it, I can share it with you if interested and if you make the bottom a kill zone it will fix this issue. @fathom oak

#

there is a kill timer once you go under the map

unique notch
#

No there isn’t in this spot

astral bridge
#

yeah it doesnt work in fly mode

#

try falling for like 10 seconds you will die

#

or if you try and get in a seat

#

i have tried it hundreds of times

#

including my hardcore world

#

where im NOT flying

#

if you stay under there within a certain height you will survive

#

srry i meant barrier and sort of 'detector',if you try and enter a plane then it will kill you, unless ur in a cave section, im pretty sure you will already go under the kill barrier

#

then there will be a seperate one

#

so i did not try and just comment randomly, i have risked my hardcore word to try and test the glitch

unique notch
#

Anything at the cave level you can stay outside the map and as I stated at the start the bug I have tested and fell 10k down and there’s a flat bottom where you can walk around for 20mins or longer if you eat but I had to let myself starve. I have it clipped if epic wants to check it out but if they just add a kill zone at 10k down like they do at 1m-50m zone then the bug will not steal ppls worlds and it will stop them going to lobby which is how they lose their world.

astral bridge
#

oh you're talking about below caves

#

mb

#

but if it is not a harcore world there is a respawn buttone

unique notch
#

Read the op he said it there and ive seen this bug many times

astral bridge
#

i thought he was standing on top of a cave

#

i am curious now so im going to test this on hardcore on a alt

#

nice maze build tho

#

yeah i get what you mean, but theoretically can you cat a bus station down there?

#

acc no

#

nm im being a bit stupid

#

but im going to try and build down there

unique notch
#

Cant build down there

#

Already tested

#

Cant take a ship down either

astral bridge
#

ok thanks

#

i just shot an alt account with a cannon out of bounds and it travelled 2000 meters south

#

i'm currently waiting for it to starve

unique notch
#

Only way to die is hold dynamite in your hand till it explodes or starve

astral bridge
#

good idea

#

but other items still fall through

unique notch
#

Yeah

astral bridge
#

im going to continue to test with it

#

but do you take fall damage

#

?

unique notch
#

Its a flat bottom you can walk around and if they add a kill zone then ppl would just die and respawn

#

No fall damage

#

10k drop and no fall damage

astral bridge
#

ok im going to continue trying stuff

#

idek why im doing this in hardore tho😭

#

do i need to move around to starve

unique notch
#

Only place I’ve fallen that far is on this bugged cave that is missing walls and floors

#

No just wait for about 15-20m

astral bridge
#

oh i do it all the time in my fly world to check if i finnished a cave

unique notch
#

Normally on storm caves I drop and its not that far

astral bridge
#

yeah because storm caves have layers

#

also did u know that if you have a cave and storm king nearby you can fly to storm king at cave lvl and not use up 10 storm eyes

unique notch
#

You pass many types of caves like desert frost sw and grasslands. They’re all layered on top of each other

#

Yes

astral bridge
#

are the layered like by altitude?

unique notch
#

Yes

astral bridge
#

ok thx

#

also is it every one or are they in clusters

unique notch
#

After about 5k down the layers stop

astral bridge
#

yh i found this out while trying to make a artillery line in a storm cave with my friend

#

like as soon as the update came out

#

so about same time

#

OHH, u do the chair method

#

i feel like the cannon method is easier

unique notch
#

I have many ways

astral bridge
#

yh

#

its also useful to try and bypass the storm barriers in storm caves and raven

unique notch
#

I don’t like to share them here

astral bridge
#

i use ballons to destry ravens hideout and it sometimes slides into the storm

#

before the ballon change

unique notch
#

I have a big vid coming soon with quite a few unknown glitches

astral bridge
#

nice

unique notch
#

Few weeks

astral bridge
#

i have no editing skills😭

#

also im pretty sure you need to jump once in a while to reduce hunger

#

as its only changing when i jump every min

unique notch
#

I removed my vids as i dont like to share them here as that info is not great for noobs to learn as they can lose their worlds

astral bridge
#

ok but nice channel thoLEGOFN_yay

#

hold up

#

i'm somehow starving but not losing health

unique notch
#

You will when your bar is empty

astral bridge
#

nvm

#

it was empty for 2 mins

#

but after that it started taking damage

#

it said starving for like 2 mins

I asked the owner if the world to kick me out and add me back later, but the issue still stands, I’m still unable to access the world so it means even after being kicked out, the spawn location remains

unique notch
#

Yeah I’ve tried it all to try fix it, only epic can fix this one but think you lost your world
