Ladders don't work
I get stuck at the top. so do my mates. Apologies if theres another post but there are simply to many posts to sort thru and i have better things to do in life than sort through them to see if anyone else has already complained.

all u can do is wait for a fix, I'm afraid.... this bug re-appears over and over

I prolly sounded a bit harsh.. have since read you can crouch before going up.. works sometimes. I'm new to the game. Totally impressed they released an 'expansion' while still in early access..

Again, workaround is to add one more ladder to the top so you go up and over. Crouch does sometimes work, but this is 100% reliable, just not "aesthetically pleasing" :-P

Never had a problem with ladders, and they all work fine for me. Is this on vanilla servers or modded servers?

I have the same problem, it is why I have stopped playing the game altogether. There is absolutely no reason why it should not have been fixed by now. When they fix it, then, maybe, if I haven't moved on to a game that has developers that care more about their customers, I might return. This ladder glitch has cost me dearly, and I see no reason they should not have fixed it long ago.

Annoying bug indeed, all we have to do is wait them to fix it...

I circunvent the problem by jumping forward (with spacebar) while climbing. Just add another ladder on top o the final platform, jump forward. Works everytime.

Adding Fences to smallest guard towers is helpful, to not fall off the roof ^^

In case of very lenghty ladders, you may need to build some trapdoors, closing them may help you avoid broken legs :p
i feel like i only have the problem with wood/rope ladders, metal works fine for me in solo and on my private server.

it's on any server.
it's a known issue that exists for a few months now. ladders are broken since at least 6 patches now and it hasn't been fixed for a while now.

Strange. Nothing wrong with ladders on the 3 servers I play on.

i get to the point to where i cant climb up a ladder cuz the option doesnt show only after 30mns of trying it finally is at the right angle ..

Actually, that is a different bug. This newer bug of getting stuck on the ladders came as a result of fixing that bug you linked where you would always fall off of the top of the ladder.
