Invisible voxels official servers 1.209

Investigating

Sometimes asteroids become invisible and people wreck their ships colliding with them.

I have 2 recordings,It happens a lot more often, i just did not record. in both i was scouting for ore in suit alone.


When i found the ore i wanted i mined up a little with my hand drill, and returned with my ship to mine up some more. So this might be a way to replicate it, when the asteroid has been changed and player leaves the area to return later.

Filling in some details about similar issue I recently had.

Platform:

PC, Server Keen EU#3

Description:

Asteroid, previously visible, became invisible after returning to it from greater distance (+20km). Creating a collision (understand as my ship fly into it and exploded) instantly showed the entire asteriod. It was not iceroid.

I observed no rubber-banding, which probably means the physics was correct on both server and client and the issue seems to be related just to client rendering (I might be wrong tho).

I too am experiencing a similar issue. Twice I have lost ships due to invisible asteroid.


Platform: PC, Server Keen, CA#3.


Description: Some times, when I jump from our faction station (50km away from the moon) to one of the NPC stations orbiting it (Arlington Station) I have noticed no asteroid is to be seen. Since I've destroyed a couple of ships already, I've taken the GPS coordinates of the crash sites and only them I realized the asteroids won't render. During the same session I can jump elsewhere and asteroids will render.


Reloading the game (F5) doesn't work. Changing graphics settings doesn't work. I read on Keen Discord the ability to render a voxel is client related. All I'm missing is getting rid of the cache to see if that works.

A bit more data about my case:


My problem is Moon-related, I can jump everywhere else and spot asteroids, but as soon as I jump to a moon NPC station, no rocks to be seen. Already lost 2 ships around that area.


When jumping to the moon, I usually pop 1.5km to 2km after a jump to Arlington Station (trader), after conducting my business I fly off, that's the part that has killed me once. I flew too far off and smashed an invisible asteroid around 6-7km from the trader.


During the last event, I did a rover spawn to the moon since I was carrying zone chips. The asteroid was then visible, but I suspect it had to do with the floating debris.
