VS 2.3 Crash when parking ship with landing gear and connector lock + toolbar not always visible i

**Game Version:** Space Engineers 2 – Vertical Slice 2.3


**Description:**

I found two issues in VS 2.3.


The first issue is a consistent crash during ship parking when both landing gear and connector locking are involved.


The second issue is a UI bug in the grid control panel: during toolbar assignment, the toolbar sometimes randomly does not appear, making it impossible or difficult to assign actions properly.

**Issue 1: Crash when parking with landing gear and connector**


**Steps to Reproduce:**


1. Load a world in Space Engineers 2 VS 2.3.

2. Have Ship A with a connector installed.

3. Fly Ship B close to Ship A for parking/docking.

4. Try to park Ship B using:


* Landing gear lock

* Connector lock / connector docking

5. During the unparking/unlocking process, the game crashes.


**Expected Result:**

The ship should park safely using landing gear and/or connector, or the game should prevent conflicting unlock states without crashing.


**Actual Result:**

The game crashes during unparking when landing gear and connector unlocking are involved.


**Reproducibility:**

100% / Happens every time in this setup.

**Issue 2: Toolbar randomly not visible during grid control panel toolbar assignment**


**Steps to Reproduce:**


1. Open the grid - control panel.

2. Toolbar assignment / action assignment - with drag and drop but...

3. Sometimes the toolbar is not visible at all.


**Expected Result:**

The toolbar should always be visible during toolbar assignment, so actions can be assigned normally.


**Actual Result:**

The toolbar randomly does not appear, preventing proper toolbar assignment.


**Reproducibility:**

Intermittent / Happens randomly.

**Additional Notes:**

The crash may be related to multiple grid-locking states being active at the same time, especially landing gear lock combined with connector docking to or near another ship. It may be a physics/grid attachment issue introduced or exposed in VS 2.3.


The toolbar issue seems to be a separate UI problem in the grid control panel toolbar assignment screen.


**Attachments:**

I can provide a save file, crash log, screenshot, and/or short video if needed.

Edit: Now the toolbar is back and I can drag things to it, maybe changing camera perspective fixed it.


Toolbar in ships are gone, pressing G in ship does nothing, the pen in cockpit to edit is gone.


I have validated files and started a new save with no mods and still gone.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Changing the camera perspective may temporarily bring the toolbar back, but the issue is not fixed. If you check it again, the toolbar sometimes appears and sometimes disappears. It is random, as I mentioned.


The problem is that the ship toolbar / assignment UI is not reliably visible. Sometimes pressing G does nothing, and sometimes the cockpit edit icon is missing as well. I also validated the files and tested it in a new save without mods, and the issue still happened.

So this the problem. Where the screen stoped then blacking out it is the crash and the restart.
