1.0 BUG Opening any menu causes ship being magically pushed for sometimes hundreds of km

[Rei Ayanami]

If you are in your ship and you open the map menu, your main menu (Enter) or any other menu, your ship gets magically slightly dragged towards the left. The amount seems to depend on your current speed.
Try spamming your map menu while having a target selected and notice how the distance changes and how your "space movement lines" change.
This sometimes, especially during travel speeds, causes my ship to get teleported for thousands of kms.

That means using any menu is impossible while flying because i could end up anywhere for just opening and closing a menu.

EDIT: Try quickly alternating between ESC and Enter : Esc Enter Esc Enter Escn Enter. I just managed to get teleported more than 10000 km.

EDIT2 : Restarting the game seems to have fixed it. For now.

Can confirm this issue. Ended up 10k km away..... what a nice flight back

[Ryuku]

Also happens to me ( didnt restart yet )

Fun fact-- if you do it often enough.. there (for me) comes a point when you warp back into the sector.. for me its always the exact same spot
sadly .. it also happened after i went trough jump gate.. opened the map later and tadaa! back to the *anchor spot

A few times it happened i was nearish (30-40km) near xenon and at times xenon/khaak the nearby ships warped with me...




Interrestingly the map also changed as in : the sector scaled with the dinstance up to a certain extent.. and now its Huuuge the original map size is basicly the small inner circle

We're aware of this issue, but we're not quite sure what's causing it, or why it only happens for some people and only sometimes. Keep an eye on release notes for forthcoming patches for a possible fix.

Incidentally, the map zooming out to a very small scale is actually caused by you being a very long way out of the sector. It's zooming out to try and include you!

[dangitbobby83]

Confirming that it's happened to me.

It *appears* to happen when you use the map or other menu while going in travel mode. When the bug triggers, at that point it doesn't matter if you're in travel mode or not.

I'll see if I can make a video duplicating what is happening.

I also just made a bug report: viewtopic.php?f=180&t=402512

The issue seems to be related to this one as well.

As the title say it i have a gamebreaking bug, each and everytime i open the map my ship is teleported away, jump are small at first but i can be at 15000km of a station within 6/7map opening, that's quite annoying when you want to know where you should head and where you can found station to explore...

Hi,

I have a solution.
Go to the menu [ESC] and enable in game settings: hold speed during menus.

Now i don t get the bug anymore, when i am using travelling speed. But you always fly with fullspeed during menus or map now.

[CBJ]

@ ebc1992: Do you have a savegame that repeatably demonstrates this happening after loading it? We're aware of the problem but have yet to get a repeatable scenario in order to track it down. If you do have one then please let me know by PM.

[yoni37]

i'm also getting this bug at some specific scenario - i accepted a mission and have a yellow guide to the location. after that every time i open the map i'm getting warped.
strange thing is that it seems that there is some structure behind the locations that i've been placed at. they are all on some linear line from my start location and the distance between them is increasing exponentially.

[AkrionXxarr]

CBJ, may be unrelated but something similar to this that I can replicate with moderate consistency is to get into travel mode and aim your ship so it'll approach near a station. Enter a menu and stay in it until you're pretty close to the station, then leave the menu. The ship will sometimes get kicked away from the station at a very high speed.

This happened to me a few times. At first it was a few hundred KM. Now Im over 20k KM in the middle of nowhere. Its gonna take me a few hours of travel speed to get back to anywhere close to a starport. Same circumstances produced the jump.

Just do this.

Before i even started playing i changed that Setting and never had this "teleporting" issue.

[Grifta]

Can confirm. It seemed to be exponential from my target. 1000 -> 2000 -> 4000 -> 8000 -> 20000 -> 40000 -> 80000 -> 100. While in the map it also flicked back and forth between where I was, and those distances

I still get this even with "hold speed during menus" on.

My workaround solution : Press F5 to quicksave, then press F9 to quickload. This usually solves the problem for me.

[matheww19]

Having this issue too, made the mistake of trying to save and exit to desktop. Now when I load in, I am out in the middle of nowhere (not where I saved) and trying to open the menu crashes me to desktop.

[AkrionXxarr]

I can confirm that I've also got this with "Maintain speed in menus" enabled. It's been a while since it happened last so I can't say with 100% certainty but I'm fairly sure when this was happening to me the escape menu wasn't pausing the game, and I experienced the same boosting effect.

[ryansims91]

So I got launched 49000 km from the gate in a sector

[AkrionXxarr]

This is dumb. I cannot for the life of me intentionally replicate this.

Here are the details I know:

• Only happened when I when I flew the Elite, but that could be due to me letting the captain fly my Cerberus a lot of the time.
• Escape menu wouldn't pause when this bug was happening, causing the same result as any other menu screen.
• The one time I got up from my seat while this bug was happening the menus behaved normally (they wouldn't rapidly open and close), so there's something about being in control of your ship.
  The bug would still happen if I took control again.
• Every time I got this bug it was resoled by saving and loading.
• I have "Maintain Speed in Menus" enabled and "Collision Avoidance" disabled.
  • A note about this, I've noticed some menu items not working? The radar, for example, doesn't seem to work for me until I switch the menu item from Off to Selected, exit, then set the radar back to Off. The radar will work until I reload or leave the ship, then I have to repeat this. I bring this up here only because I'm not sure if there may be similar strangeness with the other settings.
• I've had a bug similar to this one where I'll be in a menu for a while as my ship boosts to a location and, upon exiting the menu, get slung about 30km away from where I was. Everything behaved normally after that. I only ever noticed this when exiting out of the menu near objects. I've actually seen this happen with NPCs who would be in a fight and get themselves caught up against a station. After a few seconds they'd slingshot away at a high speed.
• I've had a situation where I got stuck under a ship's landing pad, enabled auto pilot, got stuck in another part of the ship, disabled auto pilot and was suddenly some 50,000km away from where I was.
• Sometimes when I get too close to, or bump, an object the ship will steer and twist away from it completely outside of my control.

I mention the last 3 points because this all has a vague sense to me that there's something happening with collision avoidance, and possibly auto pilot. I'll try to pay more attention if this ever happens again.

Well you shouldn't need to worry about it now. The 1.1 update which, hopefully, fixes the problems is available now.
