Cryopod -
It appears this bug is still active. I think many of us know by now that transferring via the obelisks or transmitters can bug out pods so you transfer out-of-pod. However:

After updating to Genesis 1, I have noticed a random assortment of my cryopods in storage over 3 save games (single player, but load as non-dedicated server) have the raptor-image bug. I cannot release them. These are usually dinos that are *not* native to the servers they are stored on however after they're transferred this shouldn't occur. I had no instances of this bug happening prior to Genesis.

This seems to have affected tames from each of the maps. I've been playing through the game from vanilla to expansion to game finish prior to Genesis for the last year. It's affected a phoenix (scorched earth), 2 argentavis (scorched earth), a fire wyvern (ragnarok), a pelagornis (the island, never transferred out of the server), 3 argentavis (the island, again never transferred out).

This is a real shame because dino storage is a huge pain in the ass when you're trying to breed for specific things or you just want to relieve the server from having to load in hundreds of precious tamed babies. I'm ultimately concerned with current stored tames that aren't transferring out anywhere getting stuck in a cryo.

I know we can use admin to regain them but that's not a valid solution IMO.

I have yet to notice it and I transfer around 20 cryopodded creatures a day between ragnarok, island, aberration, extinction, genesis, and valguero, (also on single player non dedicated) I have about 2 cryofridges full of cryopoded creatures on each map besides genesis, I'll go around and release all of them to see if any are messed up for me.

How do you transfer them without them being podded though? when I try that on single player and non dedicated I just crash and lose the creature I was trying to upload or download

I upload them manually, tame and then also upload the saddle. Since I first read about cryo-failure last summer I stopped transferring the pods directly. I play on SP/non-dedi so when transferring I have to upload everything (including gear) and transfer naked, then spawn and die or run to my base on the new map. My concern is these were all in storage on The Island where my main setup is located, everything was fine last week.

This playthrough has been about 500 hours of game time since August. Just, kind of a big bummer.

I tested my Cryopods on the Island, Extinction, Valguero and Ragnarok and only one was messed up. A ice golem from valguero but it seems like that one never worked in cryopods
