Demo server issue

[Wyndle]

I loaded the demo server to refresh my memory before myDU drops and verify it runs on Linux BUT I got stuck in the initial landing sequence without a drop pod.  I couldn't move or force respawn so I used /unstuck.  It placed me at Alioth N pole and I ran to Mkt 15 but couldn't access the market with a timer. When I logged back in I am stuck at Alioth N pole. I can't turn or walk again and still an hour before market accessible. 

 

It isn't worth running 0.57su to a market with transportation.   Or is this a Linux problem?

This would most likely be a Linux problem. Running .57su isn't so bad, I have done it myself.

To add a bit more detail, upon logging in I get the initial landing cinematics and am frozen in space.  I can interact with menus and so-on but when I open the map it instantly sends me to Alioth N pole.  If the map defaulted to another location I imagine it would send me there. (Edit: upon opening the map in space my environment switches to Alioth but still stuck until /unstuck is used, error message "invalid or missing parameter")

 

That's DU life.  /sigh

 

I'll try getting to my plot on Haven to see if I can trigger the end of the initial landing sequence. (Edit: I don't expect NQ to patch this, it is for the community benefit with myDU)

/facepalm

 

Yeah, it appears to be a Linux issue.  I turned on auto-sprint and put a weight on the space bar (only 4 manual interventions from the N pole to Mkt 6).  No dynamic constructs in sight, so I headed over to the shuttle but it wasn't there either.  I hopped through a few teleporters, but still no shuttles.  I did a quick sprint through the Institute and I could see all of the individual elements.  Then I ran through a UEF store and even inside of there I could not see any dynamic constructs at all (even on minimap there were no dynamics).

 

With the exception of a newer GPU this is the same hardware I was playing on before.

This is not a linux issue. I had the same issue on Windows. The only way out is /unstuck which drops you on alioth north pole - but returns you to the same place in space next log in.

 

I had this happen on three different characters. Then on the fourth it did not happen.

 

The difference was, the three that have problems all selected the YOS legacy outpost.

So the best looking outpost is a glitch trap?  I  will test on the demo server later. Thanks for the help.

Confirmed, the outpost appears to be the cause of the error.  NQ may want to exclude that one or fix the glitch.

I submitted a request for this on Sunday, but I imagine it will be a fairly low priority given that its the demo server and they are probably extremely busy with the release of myDU.

I would hope it gets priority since the same setting will impact myDU.

Thanks @Wyndle, I have let the team know about this so it can be looked into.

I had a similar issue recently where I got stuck in the demo server and couldn't move. I ended up using /unstuck too, but it only moved me to a random spot. It might just be a bug with the demo. I'd suggest checking the forums or reporting it to the devs. In the meantime, you might have to wait or try logging in again later.

That’s rough! Good to know it’s not just a Linux issue.

[tool66]

Of course it can't be because it's Linux, since there are tons of people who had the same issue on different operating systems like Windows.

 

Rarely is the operating system at fault

Frustrating when bugs hit across the board like this.
