Space Preview Problem

edited November 2023 in The Foundry for Star Trek Online - Bug Reports
About every other time I go into the Foundry and preview a space map my ship "falls" to the bottom of the map and is heavily damaged. Then it won't do anything but spin around in circles really fast. I can't go forward, etc. making it impossible to test my space missions in preview. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Occasional problem, I've found that exiting the Foundry completely and restarting does the trick. If that doesn't work, try restarting the whole game.

    What it looks like is that the game mistakenly loads ground physics in space (see. falling, fall damage). I don't know what the cause might be, but if it's persistent take a look at what you have on map. Work through what you've placed and try removing certain objects (one at a time, troubleshoot the problem) to see if that has any effect. If you find that a certain object is causing this bug, report it to the thread.

    Also, come to think of it take a look and see if you have any interact objectives either on the map or waiting to be placed. In the story window, those default to having ground animations until they're tied to an asset. It's a connection between the two modes so it may be worth investigating if you're still having this problem.

    No not yet. It just seems to be happening more frequently lately. But yeah my dead boffs were the size of a ship and lying next to me. I just don't remember it ever being this bad for me before. But I guess I do spend more time on ground maps.

    If it's happening more frequently then it may be something you're doing on that space map. Play with the assets and see if any one of them may be causing the issue.
