FIX for FLOATING ROCKS BUG

[本夹明SPenguin]

IMPORTANT FIX for FLOATING ROCKS:

Go to the stupid place where there are floating rocks.

Make a stupid save file here, this is important.

press ~ (tilde) key to open up console command, then input the following command:

ForceReset


The game will do just that, and it crashed for me. But hey, when I loaded back in, the stupid ♥♥♥ floating rocks are gone.

There is one fix that involves using the console to delete that rock asset, but I personally would try reset before I delete anything.
Resetting should place it back where it belongs, instead of making it gone, which could cause problems at the spot where it is supposed to be originally.

Yes, this particular command didn't disable achievements for me. I have earned more achievements afterwards.
The warning only says "SOME" commands will disable achievements, some, not all.

didnt work for me, guess my pet rock is following my ship for life, lol

Try this:
Go back to the map where you acquired your pet rock in the first place, then ForceReset with your ship and all the floating rocks present, including your pet one.

If this ain't working either, you can search for the Prima Games guide article "how to remove rocks stuck to your ship in Starfield". That teaches the click and delete method.

Had the same bug but didn't need console. Just saved and restarted the game and upon loading the save the issue was fixed. Maybe not the same issue but there were a lot of floating rocks and other objects.

Huh, maybe restarting is enough?

I had a rock following me for quite some time, tried a few fixes, none of them worked.

Then I went to a shipyard, changed my homeship to another ship, left the shipyard menu completely. Then changed my homeship back to the ship I was originally using, and renamed the ship. I then hopped through the galaxy a bit and called it a night (the rock was still following me the whole time). Next day I logged in my pet rock was gone, so yeah, just mentioning what I did here as a potential fix for some people.

Open console, click rock, type "disable" without quotation marks.

You are welcome.

Console title means 2 weeks per patch. One week to code, one week for MS to verify it for Xbox live network.

He said if the floating objects follow your ship. He never claimed it fixed all floating objects. That is a different issue where the game is not properly computing the height of the terrain.

I get floating rocks and trees every once in a while, but it's not frequent enough to annoy me. I've had a couple of instances where desks and tables didn't render, so found office clutter floating in mid air where the desk or table surface should be.

Seems to be fairly typical Creation Engine oddities.

So far I've only seen a few on Jemison, and there is one that follows me at a great distance in space. Might give this fix a shot though.

Todd put the rocks in the game for a reason so when you play you don't feel extremely lonely. Those are just pet rocks, hopefully next update you will be able to name them.
