Character constantly teleporting back to a previous place

[Rexvillo]

Anyone else had this problem too?

I experienced this after playing the game for a while. At first everything was smooth, but then - after what seemed to be completely random - my character started to teleport back to a previous place after I jumped. If I didn't jump and walked for a while, I could not interact or fight anything (the game accused me from being far away from the target) and then teleported me back again to that previous place after a while. If I interacted with anything near the place I kept being teleported back to (or fight any mobs) it worked fine. But stepping out just a little or jumping would teleport me back again.

The quick solution was to restart the game. I could move around and interact with stuff fine. But after a while it happened again, and again. And nothing but restarting the game seemed to make it work for a while. Seems like a server communication bug of sorts.

Yes, it happens occasionally. Very annoying. I figured it was just caused by higher ping since I don't live close to the server I am playing on.

@Regentlord, this might not be related then, since I am from the same region of the server I am playing at

aside from restart ... did you find a fix ... i'm still having the same problem.
Ping is good fps is fine ... not sure what the issue is

I’m having the same problem mainly when I play on Steam Deck. I can walk to the other side of an area and can’t interact with interactable items, then when I jump I am brought back like 20~100 ft. Oddly enough if I keep jumping while I move I don’t get the slingshot effect but it’s just ridiculously to keep having to do this.

Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I am having this issue multiple times a day when I play and it is VERY annoying to have to keep reloging. My wife plays on PC as well and she has no issues, both hardwired into the router, so I cant imagine it is a connection issue. The only difference is that I play on Linux. Game works flawlessly other than that.

Def server side. Its usually when youre slowly walking off a ledge

Same with my steam deck maybe it’s a Linux thing? It’s so annoying

I am no longer playing this, but I remember these happening a lot while the server was overloaded (1-2 weeks ago or so). Mostly triggered after a jump, I pressed the buttons and then just stood there in the place... just had to wait 2-3s for the server to catch up and after that teleported me up. This was almost normal when the server was under heavy load spikes (that lasted just few minutes, let's say these were caused by the end of an event or something with lots of people).
The ping was very low, as shown in Resource Monitor (I played in a ~3k windowed mode on a huge 4k monitor, could see both the same time), so wasn't about ping or internet connection or packet loss, just the server was too busy to handle everything at once.

If you move during these desync times, you can end up being stuck under something, so be careful and stay in a place until server catches up. If persists, may need to relog, because it's a desync between the client and the server, and may not always be possible for the desync to go away. This has to be solved server side or in the game code, you can't do anything about.
