Car Return?

[Vamp]

Is there a way to return cars back to earth? my cousin who was playing with me was driving our nice new truck and he fell into the map driving. His game crashed after and the truck never returned back to earth where it fell through. Please Help with this.

Hello, we're currently looking into this issue.
Recently in a patch we added a net for those experiencing issues with falling through the floor, that catches you and your vehicle and should spawn you back at the Ranch.

Could you provide me with more info to help us investigate the issue?
Who was the host and who was the client? Was it just the client that was driving when the car fell through?

Did the game crash immediately after the vehicle fell through?
When reloading the previous save was the vehicle then not there?

What are the specs of the hosts PC? (GPU, CPU?)

I myself, was hosting and my cousin Toaster was the client. The Client was driving on his own on the dirt road to Ranch from the General store . Soon after he crosses the Rail Road Tracks he would fall through the ground and his game would freeze a second after. He couldnt open the menu or attempt to leave the vehicles. He would have to force close the game. We then lost both a truck and UTV in the same spot when he drove on his own but we also lost a Roster and a egg basket so we lost about $2,000 of stuff. The truck or UTV never came back even after i Reloaded the game after a save. if i didnt save after this bug ate our vehicles i would have lost 4 hours or so worth of work.


CPU is i7-9700F

GPU is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Thank you so much for the information! The clear description really helps.
Those specs are yours (hosts)? They're really good, I wouldn't expect your PC to have miscalculated something for the client then.. Could I also get the clients specs?

What I'm going to do next then, is ask for your save file and try to reproduce the issue on our end. Our current theory is something may have corrupted in your save and when you're driving to the Ranch, it loads in and then causes an issue with physics/the driving (most often the issue happens whilst a client is driving back to the ranch, but I've also seen it happen as a client anywhere).

Could you please send an email to [e-mail] with your save file and all of the details you've told me about the issue. The save file (ranchsave.sav) is located in: AppData\Local\Ranch_Simulator\Saved\SaveGames

To access this location, you can do the following:

- Press the windows key and R together to open the run command
- type in %appdata%/../local/Ranch_Simulator and press ok

Let them know the email is for Amber please :)

[Vamp]

I sent an email Amber. Let me know if there's anything else you need.

No specs on the Client, but should have been just as good as my specs

so was this ever fixed or a way to get the vehicles back?
this happened in the exact spot on my buddys game , and we lost his truck
can we get it back without going back to a different save file?
or is all the work we done after that going to be lost just to get the truck back? @ambereon

Has there been a fix for this? I was just playing with friends tonight and we lost a utv full of stuff we bought. Unless there's a fix or a cheat to get it back, this pretty much ruins the game.

[SIGINAT0R]

We have exactly the same problem, is there a solution for this in the meantime?

[ReadyRandy]

I had same problem several times. Go to https://steamcommunity.com/app/1119730/discussions/0/5299051552400502491/
and go do the game crashes trouble shooting section and do what it says. I did it
and my friend did it. No more problems for us.

this problem exists for over a year now and this stuff that is sugested is things they should get right 20 cars are gone now and they all are gone in the same spots with the same ♥♥♥♥ as always leaving or entering the buildzone without having the host close will cause in a mayor crash for the joining side and the car and everything on it gone.... we all have 1050ti i7 + so its not a performance issue before i get a stupid answer here we all repaired and reinstalled but thats just a game issue not a pc issue my sister can more precisely get the bug to wok than driving itself... i dont think they are ever gonna fix it or are not able to...

[Reaper]

Yeah, I doubt they're trying to fix it. When a dev does nothing more than ask for PC specs or gives a bunch of generic instructions like "check your video drivers", it generally means they aren't taking any responsibility for the problem. It's a shame because the game seems decent, but this issue ruins it as a coop game.

Just happened to me, we suddenly were sent flying at a very high rate of speed outside the boundaries of the map and had to reload the savegame, we were stuck outside of the map it's not a PC problem, I have i7 10700K and 3080ti latest drivers.

If you can't fix it, at least add an option to reset your and your vehicle's position to ranch manually

[polo1701]

so i have been talking with the devs and basically what they are telling me ( because i am having the same issues with my pc (3060ti and amd 3700)) basically my wifes pc (1060ti and amd 5800) her pc is weak and cannot be a host sever and just switch to me being the host... no fix, or a "hey we are looking into it." i found driving less then 10mph mostly helps unless its raining, then stay away from the ranch completely till it stops.

Definitely drive slower when getting back to the ranch, to give it time to sync the game up.
We actually are looking into this, and are blocking out a large amount of time to make some exciting and important changes to the game (including optimisation, and hopefully a solution for this desync issue). This is all planned for after the current roadmap.

Quoting my response to another post regarding this issue:
Currently, we are looking into the issue of desync but without being able to reproduce it ourselves, we aren't sure what is causing the issue other than an unstable network. We have tried various PCs, same building network as each other, different building network, network connection over different countries, bandwidth reduction, playing on problem saves from players, playing on our own saves etc and have not been able to replicate the desync issue.

So all I can do right now, whilst we work towards starting our large optimisation update, is give our players some tips to prevent this from happening that others have said works for them.
Those tips are the following:
- Drive slowly when getting back to the Ranch, to give it time to load for everyone
- The host should drive where possible if the client is having issues with the vehicle, especially if it flies off into the air
- Stop the vehicle fully and wait a few seconds before the client gets out, to prevent them from teleporting a distance away
- Please make sure your PC is up to date, and you're not doing anything else that uses your network's bandwidth (eg streaming, or anyone else in the house accessing it)

funny how we can make it happen 20 times in an 27 hour save and they apperently cant recreate it omegalul just another useless answer from the devs... not even a we are implementing a car recovery system in the meanwhile... cause that would mean they would have to doo something out of their plans... dont stream dont watch youtube dont do anything on the side O MEGA LUL.... you just earned another thumbs down on the reviews

Edit: Dont use anything that uses bandwith in coop XD (No Teamspeak no Discord) ayyyyyyyy way to go coop but we are not allowed to talk to eachother
