Fixed Getting Stuck in the Floor? Apparently Not
So, I've seen in the patch notes that they've fixed several incidents of getting stuck in the floor or walls because of your dinos. They apparently haven't fixed all of them, if my experience is anything to go by. For the last two weeks, every time I jump online to play, the first thing I usually do is go around collecting eggs that my tames have dropped. Before the last update, this was never a problem. Now, if I so much as bump one of my dinos, be it a parasaur, dilo, raptor, or ptero, regardless of crouching or standing, I'll get stuck in the floor when I stand and not be able to move. The only way I can fix this is either walking out of my base while crouched, or walking onto a ramp while crouched. Only then can I stand and be able to move normally. But if that were the only issue, I wouldn't be here asking if anyone else has experienced this problem.

Nuh-uh, nope. For whatever reason, this glitch causes a second one that I not only find annoying, but feel makes the game rather unplayable: I can no longer climb ladders properly. I'll jump on the ladder, climb to the top, but once I reach the top of the ladder to the next floor of my base, I suddenly drop back down like a dino or another player has blocked me...except that's not the problem. First of all, it's a single-player world; no one else plays with me on this world. Secondly, I shifted ALL of my Quetzals, of which I have five and have them sitting on my base's roof, around so that I could be sure that their beaks, which have a tendency of shifting through the ceiling of my third floor, weren't what was causing the problem. They weren't. So now I can no longer access the third floor and roof of my base if I so much as TOUCH one of the dinos in the first two floors of my base.

Anyone else having this issue? If there is, have any of you managed to find a way to fix it, or is it just something I'm going to have to wait for the devs to finally get around to fixing? I'm just considering waiting until the new update before I even TRY to play the game again, but I'd like to be able to play before then if at all possible.

Floor issue: it's a new issue that came out this patch. I've never had it before but I couldn't get rid of it last week. Somehow the issue fixed itself and I no longer get stuck in my floors. Could be a different issue since for me it was when I crouched or laid down that I got stuck, no dino's inside base.

Ladder: this is another issue that just came up this patch. Easiest way is to climb up a bit further than you need to and press e to get off again.

Sorry can't help more ;~;

Unfortunately, I can't even climb that far. I get to head level with the trap door, boom. Dropped back to the lower floor. But yeah; I was trying something different, devoting the two bottom floors of my base to my small- to medium-sized dinos to keep them safe from anyone who might decide to randomly RPG them - it's sort of a test-bed for multiplayer servers - and whenever I go to collect eggs, if I bump them, I get glitched once I crouch and try to stand up again. It's HYPER annoying. Lol.

Just wondering if destoying and replacing your ladders might help? Its cheap and quick to try if you haven't yet.

Mine work fine so it may be how yours were originally placed before the patch(es), worth a shot wouldn't you think?

Not sure it would make any difference, as the ladder glitch doesn't happen until AFTER the dino-floor glitch happens; I've tested that part out, as the first day it happened, I relogged three times, once of which I climbed the ladder to my third floor immediately after I logged back in and was able to get their fine, but after the floor glitch happened - again - the ladder glitch started back up. I can certainly try replacing them, but as I said, I'm not sure it'll work...-gives dubious look-
