Car fall through the ground outside of map

[e3e4e5]

Was playing on my own server and decided to drive from Northwestern corner of the map to the shore super quick via the area outside of map, but car fell through the ground as soon as i drove out of the forest into the outside of the map and i instantly died. So just to let some people know who had a similar thought but never tested it - dont do it, the car will fall through the ground and you will die.

Advice #1 don’t go anywhere near cars as they are a mess and will kill you.
Advice #2 don’t take the wheels off a car as it will launch it across the map

Unfortunately the issue with vehicles is not a server problem but the actual mechanics of the cars themselves. I learnt my lesson a long time ago and now don’t touch them with a 10 foot barge pole.

Quite worrying when you sit there realising that arma 4 will be on this engine

This.. It is all this. I drive every place I go, fired up obs and that extra bandwidth made the car unstable enough to walk for a bit. Have gigabit internet so only noticed while others were using the network at the same time. Hope they find a really good breakthrough eventually though as it makes a very useful item useless to many players.

Nah, not always. Bad server performance sure does rly increase the problems, but even on a real beast of localserver and server-fps in the high 4 digit range do vehicle sometimes flip in the air and other crazy things can happen - but its rare :)

#1 Don't exaggerate
#2 Also not true.
Follow advice #3 further above.

OP experienced bad collision handling due to bad server/network performance. This has little (if anything) to do with driving off the map.

Well, #2 isn't false tbh, at least not entirely. Sarka still does launch to the moon ocasionally when taking off wheels, had seen this myself twice this year already.

#3 works best since there's serverside check

Frequant server restarts seem to be helping somewhat
