First Contact workstation fire invisible.

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Just another minor graphics bug. Sometimes when you pick up a rocket part your workstation catches fire. Currently you can't see the fire on PC (console still has the fire). When you get to the station you can put out the fire and then place your part. So not game breaking, but just another small bug.

    I was coming here to make note of this, too. Not because it causes any real problem in the model rocket TFO, but because, like other graphics that were missing, it might be a symptom of an issue that does cause a problem somewhere.

    I've had no problems with the fire showing, but I did have a run where I could interact with the scrap piles yet returning to the workstation gave me no interact to drop off the parts.
    I ended up switching to a different character and trying again - no problems on the second character.
    The first character has been tried again without the issue resurfacing.
    I've no idea what went wrong though...

    It has been happening more often than not to me too, no flames or fire extinguisher discharge visually (though it makes the sound). The pile fires are still visible though.

    I have not noticed this that I am aware of. What I have noticed is that there is a fly-in text delay in regards to one of the components zapping you with electricity, a fire being reported, fire on your workstation that you need to extinguish, or bugs crawling out of one of the piles.

    This evening, I experienced the invisible fire. I thought to screenshot it, but how do you screenshot something that isn't there?

    Two evenings in a row, and both times I was on the Gold bench. What colour is everyone else seeing this on?
    (Or, technically, not seeing it?)

    Upon further review, I did the First Contact Day Rocket Building TFO tonight. I was wearing the blue backpack and assigned the blue workstation. There was a fire I needed to extinguish on my workbench, again there was a fly-in text delay and now I noticed that I could not see the fire. I am running Lighting 2.0. The next question though is does this affect all the workstations or just some? I did not take a screenshot since I tend to play the game and not take pictures. Thanks. :)

    Red did it to me almost every time I left to get parts, and the fire was invisible every time. Also, magenta does it too.

    I think at this point I have been at every color station and not once have I seen the graphics for the fire when I've had to put it out. I'd say it is on every station and the only potentially useful screenshot would be from someone who *can* see the fire and compare their setup to ours.

    When I played the Event on PlayStation earlier today, I was assigned to the Gold workstation (again!?) and I was able to see the fire, so the bug might be affecting us on PC only.
    I'm just about to log in so will update later, if I get a fire...

    Edit: Gold rocket again with an invisible fire.

    Theres plenty of bugs in this rocket event, most are still from previous years. In addition to fires not being visible on PC, you have as per image below, NPCs randomly wearing rebreathers and backpacks, (color of which changes when people leave sometimes, and sometimes is just the rebreather NPC guy and sometimes a bunch of them). When your distances goes over 500 it breaks the distance meter. Sometimes it breaks the name as well and you (or whoever does over 500) will be unknown entity. The notification of things happening like 'part gave you a shock' happens way after you've picked it up and can even be when your back to your bench etc.

    I've only had maybe 3 fires at my workstation, different colors different characters, and have not once seen the workstation fire.

    Last night, I was assigned the red workbench and had to put out the invisible fire.

    I knew you'd reply with that. At least your predictable. Just for you, if I can be bothered, I'll take some pics of the out of place NPCs spawning at the launch site with rebreathers regardless of fires and in the same place as reenactors causing pile ups.

    As for red or magenta workstations, its irrelevant, they're all bugged out, no colour is more prone than the other.

    fix coming in todays patch ..... Resolved a visual issue in the First Contact day Re-Enactment TFO preventing the fire on workstations from being visible to captains.
