Mother quest crashes when loading Habitat 08.16

[minor dragon]

Whenever getting within 225-250m of Habitat 08.16, the game will crash with an exception error.
Verified the behavior multiple times when on my boat, and also recreated it by anchoring 500m away and swimming the rest of the way there.

checking it out and tagging some backup @open kraken @storm cipher

I haven't loaded up your save yet, but I'd like you to try something that has been fixing a lot of crashes at POIs. Save your game to a new slot, and save a second time in the slot you just saved to. Then exit and load the new save.

I had the same, I took a slight left turn and approached it in a curve at half speed. That was the only way that worked for me.

[minor dragon]

Just got done trying that out and now my ship is stuck on something invisible lol

[halcyon spire]

ohh thats good. sry i legit got sidetracked explain who stan lee was....

[storm cipher]

Interesting. Can you upload that new save?

[minor dragon]

Figured out why I'm stuck. The entire section there is disconnected from the ship.

[halcyon spire]

ok there is is almost for sure something stuck. prob as fast as i can type out fix @storm cipher will have it fixed

[minor dragon]

This should be the new save.

[storm cipher]

I'll take a look at both of them. Maybe it can be prevented from detaching to begin with.

[minor dragon]

Well the tanks are detached in both the new save and now when loading the original save as well so...I don't know that there's any saving the tanks at this point.

[storm cipher]

Yeah, I thought that might be the case. Out of curiosity, when did you build those tanks on the deck? They've been there awhile or sometime recently (Not asking so you can revert to old save, but to identify more global issues with updates)

[minor dragon]

Recently enough. I went to Sanctuary 12 to clear it out and ended up building up that whole section there, before heading to Habitat 08.16.

[storm cipher]

Alright. So after the big update

[minor dragon]

Correct. I had 2 tanks already on the deck, but the rest of them are from after.
Currently the 2 original tanks are floating attached to the new tanks though.

[storm cipher]

Hmm. Your boat is moving okay for me in the earlier save you gave. I'm going to start by reproducing the crash you had and then seeing if a double-save on my end can make it go away without detaching the tanks

Got the crash. Now I'll try to fix it

Still crashes. I'll try a few more things and then give an update. The boat is moving fine at least.

[minor dragon]

I'm assuming the newer save is a lost cause though

[storm cipher]

My newer save of yours is fine, so it doesn't seem to be creating that issue. Once I've fixed the crashing, I'll give you a new save to load and I'm hopeful that your boat will still be fine.

[minor dragon]

Much appreciated

[halcyon spire]

@storm cipher is amazing

[storm cipher]

This one should be good. I didn't fully dock you into the habitat (I think there might be a Roller Boi or something there and didn't want it to aggro). I just have one recommendation: before loading this save, if it's not too much trouble restart your computer. Your ship should be fine and you'll be roughly 15m from the dock. It seems to load up without crashing when it's the first chunk loaded. Let me know how it goes.

[minor dragon]

You're my hero.
Do you know what ended up resolving this specific issue?

[storm cipher]

Can't say for certain what the cause is, but people are having issues with loading some POIs. Crashes just like that. It has something to do with moving into specific zones. It's something the devs are going to have to look into. You're definitely not the only one experiencing it, and it doesn't seem to be limited to specific POIs.

[minor dragon]

I appreciate all your help here. Thanks again!
