Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

9.00 BETA - Sporadic Trouble Placing Piers Despite No Obstructions

Post by Crobtastic »

On BETA 9.00, I am having sporadic trouble placing piers on new stations. When starting a new station by placing a single or triple pier that is clearly not obstructed, I am occasionally unable to do so. When I move the pier unit forward and backward through the editor, a red line appears in the middle, which I understand likely indicates an obstruction. But there is none there. In these instances, no matter how I turn or rotate the pier unit (even as the very first piece of the station), it will remain unplaceable. If I delete the pier unit and try to place it again, I get the same result. I've tried to place the pier unit and a 3m6s landing pad but they will not connect. I've tried to do the same using the shuffle tool without success (the pier module just disappears in this instance).

My game is not modified. I started wit Young Gun. No relevant changes.

All the announcements and news articles about the Public Beta explain that you need to post reports about it in the Public Beta Feedback forum. I would move this there fore you, but you've not provided any of the information required in order for us to do anything with your report. This information is explained in the forum rules for that forum, which are also linked in the announcements and news articles. They also appear at the top of both that forum and this one, and again right in front of you when you hit the button to create a new post.

Not only that but I suspect that you are not using the latest version of the Public Beta, as the problem you're describing sounds a lot like one that was fixed a week or two ago.
