Disco 4.86 Update 5 Bug Reports

[Zahas]

I don't know if someone posted here
Nomad morph LF got 350 m/s

Aet: New morphs have a new engine - you may need to rebuy the ship.

The lane FX (Planet Leeds -> Newcastle JG) is a bit misaligned, minor issue, but still...
[attachmentid=999]

Aet: Lane was misaligned by one degree, causing this. Fixed. Let me know if other lanes exhibit this, easy to fix

Rebuy the ship to get the new engine.- not a bug.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

I dunno if its posted but
Ravens Talon is docking to Trade lanes 20m +- left or right out of them.

Aet: Sounds like the formation bug - were you in a formation and thrown out of it?

BR: No. I was alone...

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but in my BWT docking into a lane is a nightmare. The ship keeps on trying to dock at weird angles and gets stuck. The nose of the ship plunging down to the bottom left hand corner of the ring is a favourite. I don't experience the problem with any other ship in my collection.

This is still happening and I can add the 5k Stork to the list of affected ships.

Also, I'm having trouble with the Virginia gate in Texas almost completely destroying my BWT during the "Blue warp screen".

when I emerge, I am down to 1/4 hull and my civvy transport shield is gone, presumed destroyed.
same thing happened last night when docking with my Anki, except I just exploded.

Seems to me to happen whenever I'm lagging a tad. It's almost as if my ship is travelling further then it should through the mine field before transferring to the next system.

Aet: Lag is the issue. The server receives the "player moving foward" command, but gets the "player transfer to new system" command with a delay. Meanwhile, the server assumes you keep moving forward, into the minefield. Boom. Lag is not an issue we can fix however...

Planet Chateauroux in Berry is... well, it's outgrown itself.

The texture of the planet is several hundred meters larger in diameter than its atmosphere and the placement of its docking ring.

These pictures were actually taken in U4. I just checked for U5, though: Still a problem.

bumping, been around to long to not have been adjusted imo.

Aet: Wrote I was looking into it. No need to bump if I ack'd the fault - it's on the to-fix list.

After installing update 5, global servers show up.
Is this a bug?

Aet: No, a feature. See the readme.

I was hoping it was intentional, as I liked being able to see non-Discovery servers in case I wanted to check how many vanilla servers are online (I spotted one I played on years ago) or how popular other mods are. More importantly, I was able to see 4.86 servers that I assumed were new, as I hadn't seen them before Update 5. I created characters on four of those new servers and decided to keep playing on three of them (Luminary 99, Brickage and The Red Cat). I last played on The Red Cat 4-6 hours ago. When I started Freelancer up again a couple hours ago, those three new servers (and all the other new servers that I first saw with Update 5) have disappeared along with all the non-Discovery servers. If it was a bug, it was a good bug, as it gave me more choices as far as available servers. Please change it back.

Edit: I just checked and Freelancer is showing all the Discovery and non-Discovery (vanilla and otherwise) servers again. Brickage and Luminary 99 are back; I guess The Red Cat is offline. Is somebody testing my sanity? :crazy:

The nose of the ship plunging down to the bottom left hand corner of the ring is a favourite. I don't experience the problem with any other ship in my collection.

I'll take a look at the BWT. Please report any other transport- or gunboat- class ships and smaller vessels that also exhibit this behaviour. Liners and capital ships, due to their size, will always be a pain to dock so I'm not going to bother much with those. Possible cause: Multicomponent ship, single component hitbox, game getting confused as to where the model starts and ends.

Rheinland GB also has the same problem, but nowhere near as bad

Undocking from the Arch in Tohoku causes FL to crash to desktop every time. Undocking is successfull, and then the game crashes. When you get back in, your ship is floating at the undock point.

Crash happens in everything from fighter to cruiser and to 4 different people.

Aet: Tried a dozen undocks from the Arch and was unable to reproduce this. Did notice it had a rather large amount of undock points - disabled all except the ones at the Arch round structure. I think this will solve it.
