Invisible blocks after loading the recent 1.195.023 hotfix (09/07/2020))

FearOath shared this bug 3 years ago
Solved

After loading into the recent hotfix on my single player world, some certain blocks are not showing/completely invisible when i fully load into the game. Blocks like the conveyor tube, piston, all the glass windows, and the gun parts of the Gatling and missile turrets do not appear at all, however they are still there and completely functional, just invisible. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and if there may be a way to fix this if it is just an issue on my end.

i experienced this bug for the first time today - i loaded into a world and some rotors and solar panels were invisible

- to test i blueprinted the ship and pasted it into a new empty world and the same blocks were missing

- i then started a new empty world and tried to paste some rotors and they were invisible: there, but invisible

- this problem persisted until i exited to the desktop and restarted the game

i will post again if i experience it again, and will try to provide some more details

A good and quick way to fix this issue is to de-activate all your installed dlc's, close and log out of steam, restart your pc, then login and reactivate the dlc's. After that they all appeared. It took awhile for me to find a fix for it, but I do think this should still be looked into and prevented by the dev's. Or make it an FAQ incase this happens to anyone else and doesn't know about this site (as I've seen people in the past know nothing about how this place exists). I would like to add however this doesn't get rid of the issue happening again, it only fixes it. Usually every time I fix it there's about a weeks gap in-between the issue appearing again

it was fixed for me by just quitting back to the desktop and reloading the game - no logging out of steam, restarting PC or disabling DLC required - so clearly there is some relationship with specific player configurations

Having the exact same issue on a dedicated server, happens with every person who is on the server, but for me, it's happening every 3-4 minutes.. unable to place blocks, unable to delete blocks, blocks being placed but are invisible and also no audible cue that you placed it

Hello, James,

unfortunately I´m not able to reproduce your issue so far.

You think it is possible to send the save file to me to try on your exact world? And/or do a video of this bug happening?

For dedicated server, you can access your save files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Saves.

Please zip the file and attach it here. If you are having difficulty attaching files you can optionally use Google Drive. When sharing a google drive link please make sure it is set to be downloadable by anyone with the link.

Any more info you can share? Does it happen to any special blocks or is it random and happening to all blocks?

Kind Regards

Hello,

Unfortunately a 200+ MB file would be impossible to send via email so sending the save would not be possible.. I have since stopped playing as well as the others (due to myself no longer playing) that played on my SE server as it was just to frustrating to continue to attempt to play, only to have to log out and back in every other minute or two to continue building.. some of my friends where speculating that it might be some latency issue as a result of the fact that I'm playing on a machine that is on the same network as my server though I do not see how that might be possible either, if anything, I should have fewer issues being so close. 

Not sure if it helps, but I also seemed to notice it more frequently when I switched the snapping mode to "snap to local grid"..  

You folks have a wonderful game, though it definitely does still need some work in the dedicated server aspect.

Perhaps I will revisit the game in a few years to see if there are any improvements such as multithreading capabilities for the server hardware, physics improvements, stability etc etc..

Good luck to you and your team, I wish you the best.

Sincerely

-James

I had the same issue today in the "Heavy Industry" version and some of the blocks were invisible. It seems to happen when the game is loaded for multiple hours.
