Teleporting back in time Glitch

[Phoneas]

Alright, this is a bit weird considering i have no idea why this happens, nor how to recreate this, but this happened twice in 1 game, a few hours apart, all i was doing was just moving forward when out of nowhere i teleport a VERY long distance away (in various directions) and my tech will have reverted to a MUCH older version of it, my inventory will have gone back to what it was when i had the tech, and when i log out and look at the time played, before it was 3:24 hours, but after it went back to 1:45 hours.. this happened 2 times and its quite annoying since i lose alot of stuff, if there is a fix to this, please help

Yes, it's a somewhat common bug that's been reported for a while now, but the devs have been unable to pin it down. See here on the forum: https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/0-7-6-4-spacetime-warping.12737/

It's interesting to see the specific information you've provided there (about a *reduction* in time played on the game save). Bizzare indeed. It may be helpful to add that info, and anything else you've learned, to the thread. (Also help motivate the devs to go even FASTAH!)

This bug might be related to tech duplication, I don't know if you've seen any of that? That tends to keep happening with a save, once it's occurred once, eventually making that save unplayable, unfortunately.

ohh, well i did see a tech duplication on that playthrough, it was with the little theif right at the beginning of the game, there were 2 of them, and i started a new playthrough and have played for about an hour, and the glitch hasnt happened.. so maybe it does have something to do with that, thank you

Ah, cool. good to know.

That Bug has been happening to me
But the weridest part is that it would also spawn a the same mech i was in when the bugs started happeneing all over the map, when ever i try and do anything with these copys my game crashes

BellMaster, try saving often, and if you ever see a duplication glitch, or any other glitches, just go back into a previous save, and try something different, A.K.A a different mission, or traveling in a different direction, see if that works

The latest advice from the QA team at Payload Studios when I ask about progress solving this bug:

Still ongoing I'm afraid @ZeroGravitas , no luck so far. All I can recommend at the moment is for players to back up their save games. Rolling back to a point before the warping happens might stop it from happening a second time, however we can't be certain how far back players might need to go. IIRC all examples of this have warped players back maybe an hour or so in gameplay at most, which could mean quite a bit of progress lost for some players. Best we can do atm I'm afraid.
