Car bounces up and down, open doors sink into ground - quirk or bug?

[Fuzzy]

I've noticed more or less since day 1 my car is bouncing up and down when I make various interactions with it. I've also noticed if I leave the driver door open sometimes I come back to the car and it's half sunken into the ground. I'll update this thread with video/screenshots when I can.

Initially I thought this was a quirk but I cannot seem to find any relevant solution to fix it as it seems to be more or less any interaction with the car triggers it. Also no solution for 'car bouncing'.

Could this be a bug or am I just not looking hard enough?

The car bounces a lot (like its being spawned back in) in the tunnels escpecially. i havent noticed it much outside of tunnels.

try another new game to check if it reproduce the behavior ;)

I have the same issue.

Sounds like a physics bug to me.

If you car has Quirks the should show up in the garage. Both in the damage overview (blue = none afaik) and the "quirk fix screen" (even undiagnosed show up as such).

Try diagnosing them all and see if one could possibly cause this.

Good way to describe it!

I'm not sure this would achieve anything because 1) if quirk whos to say it never develops and 2) if bug again whats to say it does not occur. Obviously it's not a super common otherwise I'd have seen another thread about it.

Glad to know I'm not alone!

Another thing that makes me think it's not a quirk is if I ask for hints in the Tinker Station nothing seems to correlate.

I think you're right...

I've looked at this yeah. Not managed to find them all yet but will update thread when I do to confirm whether or not solved.

Having the same issue. Car will sink into the ground and when I interact with it in some way it will do a small bounce up to normal level. Sometimes its the whole car, its just a door or its some of the decorations inside the car.

Yeah i think it's a bug, or the car does it because it's a remnant and it's "ALIVEEE"
but I've even used the hint upgrade for finding out if it is a quirk and never had that as an option after fixing all the quirks on the car.

100% not a quirk, I've had this persistently across multiple runs and game sessions while I had either no quirks at all or no undiagnosed quirks.

I've had my car sink halfway into the ground once, this happened on my first run during the tutorial, but not seen it again, it looked similar to the example provided but even worse, when I got into the car it fell through the map (got the air time achievement tho so yay?), and got spawned back at a checkpoint with my car in poor condition from the fall.

This doesn't look as bad as that tho, but I have no idea what causes the car to sink however.

[Abyssal Crow]

car sinking is a bug, I've had it happen when leaving the car before.

Happens to me too now, didn't happen before. If you stay inside the car with your engine off, you can see the mirror decoration sinking into the ground. If you start the car it jumps back into position. Doesn't seem like it's causing big issues for now, but it is kinda annoying to see the car reset position every time you interact with it.

So, last night I was working on story mission enabling LIM towers in the first zone. Every time I got out of my car near a tower I ended up on top of the tower, which was very annoying. Had to jump down and hit 1% health. Then, when I finished, the gate spawned perfectly in the opposite side of the map, and it was seemingly impossible to make it there - I died in the storm. I had been on that run for an hour so I stopped for the night. I also noticed after my issues with the towers that almost every time i exit the vehicle now it does the “fade” instead of showing the animation. Upon loading the game today, the “fade” persisted and I had texture glitches in the garage (stretched polygons) so I reloaded the game. After reloading, the walls and floor of the garage were no longer visible from inside (still there on the outside). I fixed up my car and went back out, assuming it would go away. As soon as I was in the field the car acted odd. Doors falling off, car making weird collision noises when I get out, still only doing the fade for exiting. Then I was looting a container and came back and the car had sunk halfway into the ground and was unrecoverable. Any interaction just caused the part I interacted with to fall off. So I reloaded the run. The very first time I got out of the car it did the fade and when it came back the car was gone. It had been flung into the air and flew over 100 meters away and was rolling down a mountain. Was really enjoying this game but feeling very discouraged now.

Just had it happen now on the first mission you get sent out into the world for. Had just put the first stable core in the car and was going back to scope out a building on the map.

Got out of car and car sunk down to the windows in the terrain. Tried getting back in, quickly went to 10% health, car disappeared and I got prompt to hit 'T' to get unstuck but it said car was too far away.

The car was back at the start point with all doors and panels broken, engine down to the bare minimum red. Tires were apparently unaffected lol. Like Sunricer I also got the achievement for being airborne sometime during this, probably when I sat back in the car and clipped through the map.

It wouldn't be so bad except for the save system. That was like an hour of time, as I was looting every last building and car I came across since it was all still new to me. So didn't want to reload, but now I'm also out the mats for rebuilding/repairing everything. /shrug
