Backpack cable keeps getting hung up at 'Save' station on reload

[outer thorn]

Just a small thing (almost too trivial to raise a bug report) ... I keep getting my electric cable (backpack to rifle) hung up on the save stations.
It only manifests itself when I reload the game and then a) it takes a few seconds for the game to respond and b) I sometimes leave that scrap of cable behind.
Also note ... this has been an ongoing thing for me since I started playing during Update #1 so it's not a recent bug.

Same! If I don't grab it and retract it moving is difficult, and if I do 'escape' it leaves a cable floating in mid-air.

Also reported this - only started happening for me after Beta 2.

Additional info ... an example of the hanging cable instance in the boat's 'Save' room although it happens elsewhere as well ...
I have found a few of these floating above the ocean in places where this must have happened previously.
They're recoverable ... with the electric rifle and if you're quick diving into the water after them!

This is exactly the bug I am experiencing every time I save and reload.

Yet another update ... I've begun to notice that this doesn't happen so much, if at all, if you don't have a cable connecting the backpack to something else (you or a weapon).
This leads me to suggest that this may very well be a bugged interaction between the cable and something in the environment within the vicinity of the backpack.

I've had this one, too. But oddly since the most recent update sometimes the cable will be larger in scale than normal. This is a nothing detail, just a strange addition.

Happening to me too , but with the flamethrower 'cable' , every single time I load in.

Yes seems to be related to the current cable bug that the DEVS are currently working on fixing

floaty cable!

seems if i stand completely still when the game loads, after a dozen seconds, all is fine

My experience exactly. Thanks for contributing ...

this happens fairly often

Unless this is fixed in todays update, be careful about letting your ship collide with these. about 1/4 of the time you go flying, at least thats what it does to me lmao

I've been running the beta versino of today's hotfix update and, no, it's not been fixed yet. For the moment, I tend to go around with my electric rifle disconnected from the backpack and only reconnect when I need to.
It's slightly immersion-breaking but it does keep the problems to a minimum.

I just remember to take it off whenever I save. Its the only time it seems to be a problem for me.
