Ship teleports when opening map

[Darkkillex]

Sooo... I've got a weird one happening here.
I was in Black Hole Sun IV and after a bit of flying around I found the plasma factory. Arriving at the factory, I stop my ship and I open my map to check trade prices. However, when I closed my map I noticed that suddenly I was +-700km away from the station.
So, I open my map again to see what's going on and when I close it I'm suddenly 1500km away.
I do this a few more times and each time I get teleported further and further backwards... 3.000km, 6.000km, 12.000km, ... until at one point I was at 125.000km from the station.
At that point, according to the map I was far outside the boundaries of the sector of course. However, the next time I opened and closed the map, I suddenly was back near the Argon Equipment dock where you start the game. (overflow I guess?)
I noticed that the teleportation happens as soon as I open the map, and the map seems to flicker periodically (I had my ship + a sattelite in system and the map flickered between the ship or sattelite having live sight on the surroundings but never both at the same time) and every time the map flickered I got teleported further away.
Also worth noting is that this did not happen the first time I opened the map, but once it started happening, it always happened guaranteed.

While all this teleporting can be quite fun, it doesn't exactly help in actually trying to play the game...

Yeh, I can confirm this. No idea what caused it. It felt exactly like the exploit in X3, where you order a ship to go to 300000,300000,300000 and the sector twitches out and then the ship teleport to\into the nearest dock.

I'll make sure to assign Debug log(Settings-Controls-General-Open Debug Log (Down in the bottom in Expert)
If it happens again, maybe some valuable info can be gathered there. I just restarted when it happen because i couldn't make it stop.

We're aware of this issue and are investigating. One person who encountered it found that they could make it go away for now by going into the game settings and switching on the option to maintain speed while in menus.

[Reknot]

Nice!

I've had "maintain speed while in menus" on since I first started the game and looked trough the options. Still happen to me. I'm an avid X3 player and halting ship in menus would feel wrong.

Good luck on fixing the issue!

I have had the same thing once in my early gameplay. Was just flying along towards a gate in auto pilot probably about 200km away, then suddenly 'teleported' and was next to the Teladi station on the other side of where the gate went to. Very odd, and I also definitely had the maintain speed option already ON since first loading the game and messing with settings before I even started into a new game.

this is what just happen to me and I cant go back

Similar issue when trying to navigate a series of waypoints where the radar starts flickering, ship is 'nowhere' according to map with huge distances to everything that keep changing. The only way to fix it is to reload.

Seems to happen mostly when using any sort of fast travel (maintain speed is on).

[Alci]

fast travel + map seems to be the cause

It will also happen when hitting the esc key. I was having the "map teleport" issue so before I went to the map I decided to save the game. As soon as I hit the esc key to go to the menu I teleported. I was able to reproduce this bug by hitting Shift+S as well trying to save the game.

Once it begins happening, it does it consistently. I have been able to temporarily fix it by quitting completely out of the game and restarting.

Also a helpful hint if this happens to you and sends you to some remote location. As the OP said, just hit the map button a few more times and the game will bring you back somewhere close to where you began.

The fix for this is already out, guys! Update your game to 1.1.

Very nice thank you egosoft for working over the weekend to add fixes

Not sure if it was introduced by the patch or I just haven't noticed that earlier but now suddenly my other ship teleported.

I have one Kestrel that I'm flying, currently exploring Grand Exchange, and the other that's running a sector trade in Antigone Memorial. Except suddenly it appears close to me in the Grand Exchange.
And if I target it the command displayed is to attack my current ship

Although he doesn't fire a shot, just flies aimlessly around.
Edit: scratch the last bit, he opened fire at me as I was posting this


he appeared close to a Khaak group, maybe he thinks he's one of them?

[CBJ]

No, that won't be related. If you've got a reproducible scenario with an associated savegame shortly before it happens then upload it somewhere and send me a link, along with a description of what to do to make it happen again.

[Wou]

Damn, I made a quicksave before I realized he's there and my earlier save is like about two hours before that, sorry
