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.
I have the same bug
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.

Same thing happened to me a few times. Can confirm that it has only been with asteroids i have previously mined from. They generally only reappear after i interact with it by either crashing into it or mining from it.
Physics seams fine, collisions are normal, crashes appear normal, no rubber banding, can walk on the asteroid, low speed collisions are normal with little to no damage
Try to always leave GPS markers at asteroids I visit to help find the resources again later. Thats the only reason I only had 2 major crashes.
1. (EU#1) First time it happened, lost the front half of the ship including the survival kit and had to restart from scratch. Later revisited the location to find the ship(had batteries towards the rear keeping it powered)
2. (US#2) I was headed from my base to an asteroid with my miner, dampeners off, full speed, adjusted heading straight at the gps and partially reduced speed. Soon as I realised what was happening, I adjusted heading and tried to get out of there. Crashed and lost the entire right side of my ship, luckily was able to move a thruster from a different spot and got back to base for repairs
