Tusoteuthis / Squid - "Stuck", but not on terrain

[Saku]

I've seen topics about water dino's getting pushed into terrain/rocks being stuck, but my squid itself seems to be stuck at a certain position

I can ride it and swim away with it, but as soon as i dismount, it will (rubberband?) be back at the same position near bottom of ocean.

When i ride it it moves forward with tentacles in front like it is holding something ... it was late last evening, dont remember details ... maybe whatever it was holding died at the moment it was positioned inside a rock nearby?

I tried having it follow, put it on wander ... it just floats there motionless.

It's near rock, but not in direct contact. It's near barrier, but still room to swim around it with another squid.

It also has an oxygen bar, but bar seems same % whichever waterdino i mount, probably more player-linked than tame. The absolute values differ though.


Has anyone else had this happen? Tips/tricks of getting it unstuck?
Or is this gonna be a new thing like sabers/wolves in caves getting stuck on vegetation where the ocean is gonna b filled with stuck waterdino?
I've tried having it on follow or wander, unclaiming.

This happened to me, about midway between the red and blue obelisks, and it was quite baffling at the time. I tried everything you did with the same results, including telling it to attack my target/this target and it still just sat there. Eventually I just logged out, left it 10 or 15 minutes and logged back in. I might have done this a couple of times, but I can't quite remember, but eventually it fixed itself.

Whistle it follow

First thing I did, as would everyone else in the same position, and the OP specifically said the squid was told to Follow. Didn't respond to ANY whistles at all for me.

thx for reply, server restart might just fix it, ill leave it on neutral and check later

Good luck!

Maybe try luring a wild critter to it and have it attack your squid (while it's on neutral).

Preferably an anglerfish, because they bite once, then they swim away. Your squid might try to follow it to attack back. That once worked for me with a stuck Mosa when everything else failed.

tried that, i could swim around the whole map on it, go in caves and what not, drag dino's, but as soon as i dismounted, i'd be back with the squid on the rubberband spot
kinda interesting emergency exit, but would be nice if the rubberband spot was in my own base ;]

How did you fix this mine is doing the same thing

Official or unofficial?

Unoffical just ride it and use ghost command

My squid starting doing this a few days ago. Official PvP server.

I can mount it and ride it, but it only goes in "reverse".

I can put it on follow, but it stays where it is.

If I ride it away from its position, it rubberbands back instantly when I dismount (I am rubberbanded back there as well).

Has anyone found a solution other than relog / wait for server reset?
