Laser Antenna with clear line of site shows as obstructed.

Investigating

After the most recent update a laser antenna that had been previously connected is showing as obstructed, even though it has a clear line of site to the other laser antenna. I have tried connecting from both antennas.


The laser antenna is located on an asteroid base, and the obstruction coordinates in the terminal seem to be the center of the asteroid.


The original laser antenna's base intersected slightly with the surface of the asteroid, so I tried building a second laser antenna a few meters further from the surface, but that one also is showing as obstructed.

Hello Engineer,

Thank you for your report.

To investigate the issue properly, please provide:

  • Exact step-by-step reproduction instructions
  • A video showing the issue from start to finish
  • The exact game version and game mode
  • The target coordinates used by the Laser Antenna
  • The reproduction rate
  • The game log from the affected session

Please also try reproducing the same issue in an unmodified world with all mods disabled and let us know the result.

You can find the log files by typing %appdata% into the Windows search bar and navigating to:

\Roaming\SpaceEngineers

Please attach the relevant SpaceEngineers.log file from the session in which the issue occurred.

Kind regards,

I have the same issue on my world, which i've been playing for a long time now. I have 2 asteroid mining outposts connected via laser antennae, which has always worked fine. Since last update the connection is lost due to "No line of sight", but there IS a _clear_ line of sight. I flew the entire "line" along with a ship, there is no obstruction. And yet the terminal claims there is an obstruction at the coordinates of the opposite antenna. I have nothing changed after the update, i just loaded up the save and the issue was there.


  • Exact step-by-step reproduction instructions

  • Well, start the game and check the connection status of the laser antennae?


  • A video showing the issue from start to finish

  • A video from the terminal window, which will show nothing different than the attached screenshot? Well, when you really need a video from a static information text in a window, i can create one of course, just let me know...

  • The reproduction rate

  • Sorry, but i have no idea what that means. How often the issue occurs? Well, the entire time. The antennae just can't connect anymore.


  • The game log from the affected session
  • See attachment please.


    That said: log files and saved games don't have to be hidden somewhere deep under the appdata path. There's a reason why we have a folder for saved games, which is covered by backups. The folder "appdata" is for, you might have already a guess, APP data, but not for USER data.
