Locked in Remote Control

[TheLast9Breaker]

Hey there; I logged out and saved while being remotely controlled to my ship and since I logged back in I am stuck in the remote control; F doesn't bring me back to the player and I tried to do some different Admin control solutions like player control and teleporting me amungst other things, but still no dice. I tried doing activating the camera on my ship, controlling a turret, turning the ship off entirely, turning the antenna off, reloading the game, and more. It seems like I can still interact with everything normally, but I can't get out of the remote control.

Hi, I was helping another member having a simular "bug" and still waiting for the first clue because I was not able to reproduce that bug on my side.

First clue to find :

-> Is it the same in brand new created no Mods, no Plugins world or it happens in only one specific save ?

-> Set the testing world on creative mode to test faster.

The other Steam discussion with all my testing :

Locked into remote control limbo

+
Conclusion, so far :
-> May happen in specific save only or need specifc Steps To Reproduce the bug.
-> May be Modded world with conflicting Mods ?

With your information

-> Hint = Must save while controlling

I found a Fix !

1 - Go into Spectator mode F8, aim at the ship/grid you control and hit Ctrl+B to save the Blueprint.

2 - Hit Alt+F10 to open the admin menu, select "Entity list", select the ship/grid you control and click the remove button to delete it.

3 - Save and exit.

4 - Make sure respawn ships is enabled.

5 - Set the world Survival + MP (I've set it Public)

6 - Load and you will be able to respawn at your existing Medic Rooms or be able to select a respawn ship.

Hi Dan Just Wondering if you have found a way to do it without despawning the ship just incase i run into this problem again because my fix was simply detatching the turret that had the remote control and then relogging

The important was to delete the grid I was controlling first, well in the world I've tested where I was contolling a small block ship from station antenna and/or suit antenna.

+ Looks like it's not the same when controlling a turret so thanks for adding your solution/temp fix.


EDIT
+ Always best to save the ship as Blueprint before deleting so we can paste back in once all good.

I will add :

I think I was not able to delete the Remote control block only and why I removed the ship I was controlling from the admin menu Alt+F10 Entity list.
