Recovering missing vehicles

[rissa2011]

My friends and I were playing a multiplayer game and one was driving the 4wheeler atv. He teleported into the sky and the 4wheeler is now missing. Is there a way to figure out where it went?

Hiya,
Was it the client of the game (not the host) driving when it teleported?
Did the player fall off the edge of the map and get auto-teleported back to the bus stop by the ranch? If the net caught the car, it should be there with them too.

If not, there's a possibility that it's still on the map somewhere?

My advice is to save frequently if you experience multiplayer desync (which can in some cases cause this to happen when a client is driving or inside a vehicle), so you have a better chance at reloading your save if this happens. Apologies for the inconvenience!

It was not the host of the game driving. He ended up back at the bus stop but we have no clue where the 4-wheeler went. We have tried looking across the map and we save the game frequently (it gets dark so fast when the days go by and everytime we sleep it saves)

he said he lost it near the vehicle store not at the edge of the map

Thanks for the extra info - this will be a cause of desync then if the client was playing - where was the host in relation to them when they teleported into the sky?
Also were they inside of the car when this happened / did the vehicle teleport with them?

Host was over near the old lady rancher's house, not near player. He was in the car (atv) at the time but when he teleported into the sky, it disappeared when he found himself back at ranch bus stop

Thank you for the extra info, this should be enough for us to go and investigate the possible causes - or why this specific physics issue happens when desync occurs. For now, my only suggestion is to continue saving frequently - so that you can reload your save if you lose anything important (car/it's contents). If the teleporting happens often to you, I also recommend having the host drive where possible, or maybe switching which player hosts if you both have good PC specs, as the host needs to have the better PC spec and network quality too

is there any solutions for this problem? i lost 3 of my cars and every time i approach to bus stop i fell over the map and i have to close the game. I appear in the upper left on the map when i fell over but cars are not there.

Best practice I found save game before driving just incase car goes on a magic carpet ride then you can reload the game right before you drove away and the car flew away.

My group is having an identical issue to Valkyrie, only ours happens anywhere along the dirt road going up to the ranch. Never happens to the session host. Only to additional players on the session. Additionally, if we log off the session while the vehicle is still spinning we can 'save' ourselves. But if we watch the animation of our vehicle seemingly being launched into orbit all the way to the conclusion and vehicle stops moving or disappears on our screen the game freezes and we can't log off. We have to close the game completely.

As of 5th March 2023, this is still an issue. The host did not have an issue. Players joining him did however. I managed to lose two UTVs with goods on them. One moment I'd be driving then I'd be teleported into mid air, spinning till eventually everything became unresponsive and it appeared I was under the map. I had to ALT F4 to quit the game.

@Ambreon Please implement this as an option since this is still an issue in game. Allow the player to go to the car dealership and choose the car you want respawned and have it appears in the parking lot. There's definitely enough space in that parking lot to accommodate this feature. Thank you.
