Chapter 15 Map Clipping Bug

[Rhidian]

On the 4-a map I have encountered a bug with the eastern ladder near the top of the map that leads up to the Gatling bunkers. If I try to climb the ladder with any unit, immediately upon reaching the top of the ladder the unit falls through the floor and falls endlessly. I can move the remainder of my move, but it's below the map and I can't accomplish what I'm wanting to do.

It occurred with the two units I tried it with consistently.

Here are some pictures:

Yep, happens to me too.

Just happened to me, thanks god my main plan was to protect me from those gatlings with Smoke mortar.

same thing happened to me on both ladders. . I had to put a defense order on a trooper and have them suicide run to get the last switch.

Just encountered same bug, falling through the stairs into nothingness. Tried it on both stairs to the gatling towers and lost 2 members of the squad off the map. They stay in the squad and you can't replace them once they are in clip limbo.

I also found a bug in the Vegetable report / Edy Detatchment DLC map. Sometimes when my characters climbed the guard tower, they fell through the floor. Didn't make them fall through the map though.

Yeah I encountered this too. With any luck it'll be fixed soon.

So strange. I just finished this mission earlier today, and climbed up and down all of those ladders multiple times, and never had this happen once. Since it hasn't been mentioned, have any of you verified your game files? Also, another thing occurs to me: what fps is everyone playing with? I mean, with tank physics being a bit messy with higher fps rates, it stands to reason that physics involving ladders may also be a bit messy. I'm running at 60fps, for reference.

I have this bug now. I've also run into it in Episode 10b. It would happen after decending from the lift on the north side of the starting base. That one was intermittent. I could reload from a save, sometimes it would happen, sometimes it would not. I'm going to try to use the ladders from different positions. Maybe activation areas don't match.

I've had this happen to me too. I've also had it happen on the Liberation of Fouzen, Largo fell through the floor after getting out of one of the trains.

artemis_kun i don't think its frame rate. i've had it happen to me to. but only on mission 15a and tboth second missions for behind her blue flame dlc. and i have fps set at 30. i think its just a glitch with ladders thats random. but there is still a chance your right. someone needs to test it to be sure (still working on first playthrough and proitizing it).

Had the exact same issue trying to climb one of the left ladders on chapter 15. The issue was very consistent. I fell through the map every single time. Reloaded many times from different save slots and that didn't help. Tried several different resolutions and that didn't help.

Finally hit on a fix. I change my frame rate from "30 FPS" to "Refresh Rate" and the issue went away. Tested again from several different save slots and a couple different resolutions (I only tried 2 to be honest) and I never fell through the floor again. Granted, I'm only testing this one spot (as I didn't have the issue on other maps as some of you have reported).

Confirmed my side, happened to me and retried (I saved) 3 times, fell through the Western ladder, so seems both west and east ladder are bugged

I'll try the refresh rate, but I believe it's already set at that myside

*EDIT* Changing from 30fps to Refresh Rate fixes this (when Alicia appears at the top, she drops down a bit onto the stairs, but doesn't fall through the map) however the game appears to run in slow motion doing that, so I guess I'll just leave the ladders.

Ran into this same bug on the first battle in Ch15. Ended up just loading a shocktrooper with defense and evade orders then rushing the final switch.

[Neurone]

Same bug here. Changing the refresh rate from 30 FPS to "Refresh rate" fixed it. Although, once passed that point I need to change back to 30 FPS, because with that setting flickering appears. It seems to me a pretty evident and easy to spot bug, it is strange that it's still there...

Got the same issue when I tried to kill elite sniper in chapter 15, and then I came across this thread
Thanks guys, Refresh Rate fix did work!
