Fix the dead bodies/ bags disappearin/ falling through world.

[Saedraverse]

Right this is the second day in a row I have died for utter stupid reasons, and no body or bag has remained. Yestarday, after jumping of my Arg I got bugged into a tree and I couldn't get back on my Arg, so I punched my way out. I'm keeping an eye on my health and it's not even at 10% off (I repeat off, I still had over 90% left) when boom, died and I see my body somehow going flying into the nearbye pool/pond. No bigy I respawn and go there immeditly, no body, or bag. My friend and I spend the next 15 minutes looking not just through the whole pond but our entire base and surrounding area.
Today, I was running to get a drop which is by a cliff. Now my friends and I have fallen of this cliff hundreds of times and lived. Today anyway I'm running to the drop when suddenly (I'm guessing lag) I'm teleported a few feet back and instead of running directly at it I'm now against an invisible wall and running off the cliff. I immeditly stop but telepotation happens again and I'm off the cliff. I'm like ok I'll survive like before, I land just in front of one of our behemoth gates we have below the cliff, I'm fine, I take a step back, died. I'm left speechless and suddenly the dead body turns voilent and goes through the ground flying.
I respawn and return to the area, no body, no bag.
Eeeeh please fix this, while the stuff wasn't my best gear, I was wearing my only artic gear as I was about to head to my base there. And I'd rather not one day loose my best gear cause I got off my Bronto, spino or whatever.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one, in fact one of my none tribe member firends lost his stuff the exact same way when lag caused him to fall of his Arg. Another friend found the Arg within 2 minutes but no body or bag was nearby (or below, the arg was still in the air)

not the only one by a long shot.

today a tribe mate had the same experience with a tree.

here is what i encounter all the time (not exactly same, but likely related)

- unconscious players often fall through thatch foundations onto the ground.

- more often than not, unconscious players will fall through ANY foundation (thatch,wood,stone,metal) if the foundation is on a movable platform (raft, dino...)

all of these situations are painful on any server. however, in hardcore it can be devastating.

i don't know what the QA process really is, but it seems that if Wildcard actually experienced these bug, they would have been fixed long ago.

And it just happened again. The server crashed so a reboot was needed. After I got back in, instead of spawning on the ground, I was spawned in the air. I died and the body fell through the world. I LOST MY BEST STUFF CAUSE OF THAT ONE (looking for dodorex)

Why the heck are people not making a big deal out of this when you could loose you're best stuff with any death cause it'll fall through the ground and not cause you were killed or died to legit reasons and couldn't get back to the area in time. And I would have gotten it back cause I was just outside our tribes base.

I'm just guessing, but I think this is a game engine problem. It seems like they're using 16-bit positional coordinates or something because the location precision is worse than in any game I've ever played.

I'm playing. My wife plays on a computer next to me. We're looking at the same thing. I'm shooting a Rex in the head. On her screen, I'm missing it entirely. It's super messed up.

Another example: I'm carrying her on an Argent. On my screen she is clearly above ground. On her screen I'm dragging her UNDER the terrain.

If they don't know where anything really IS, then they can't know when you're falling through a structure or not. Because they don't know if you're above it or below it.

If this is really the problem, this is a HUGE undertaking for them to fix, and it's not going to happen soon. It's literally months of effort to fix this problem if that is the case. They need 32-bit or 64-bit grid precision to know where you are in high enough detail to stop[ this happening, I think.

Rant time.
All on new map btw.
This is ticking me off. Yesterday my tribe mate fell threw the ground 3 times. Lost full sets of flak armor sword piked metal shield eatch time. Today i died to a argentivs (griffin) right next to my base. Nbd right. But before i died i noticed it said im super far from my bed and moving. Hear water. Go to the spot i died and nothing. I lost several mastercraft items some journeymen items and full set of (ramshackle maybe? Cant remember its name. One step up from normal armor) but flak none the less. Killed a lvl 150 alpha rapter. Got few good items had my armor ar 200 rounds my rifle and fell off a cliff near my other base. And again fell threw. So in roughly 24 hrs total we lost around 1000 metal ingots worth of of stuff. They need to fix this now. Its gone on long enough. End rant.

This needs to be fixed

[Humpenstilzchen]

Agreed this needs the be fixed asap!
I can´t count anymore how often I have lost my stuff due to it falling through the ground. I have no problem with dying, if I have done a mistake, but loosing the stuff because of such a stupid bug is making me crazy..
At least, as admin I can get my stuff back via commands and I would not hesitate to help others out in such a case, because it is so incredible frustrating..
The thing is, although I have a really good internet connection, I often loose connection for a couple of seconds due to the damn wifi..This means, when I´m flying around and it happens again, I´ll inevitably loose all my stuff.
I wouldn´t care so much if this would be regular stuff, but when you carry journeyman gear for example, that took some time and luck to find, it really gets frustrating.

PLZ devs wake up and fix it already!

They've said they can't fix these kinds of bugs b/c it's part of the framework of the engine they build the game on. It would have to be someone who works at unreal or whatever it's called to update their program they used to build the game

Where did you read that?

Over the past 6 months i have lost 20x more gear to this stupid bug than any other possible way and i'm almost at the end of my patience. The other day I lost a full set of Mastercraft fur armor, MC sword, JM Longneck, and a bunch of other less significant items because a wolf managed to throw me down a small hill with its WAY OP knockback and when i hit the ground, i went right through it and my gear as well. I'd estimate at least 20 JM longnecks have been lost due to this as well as JM and MC flak armor sets, countless swords, and more. A few of these happened just because i dismounted a giga or hopped off my quetz platform.

I dont want to hear any excuses claiming this is an Unreal Engine problem because their engine works just fine for just about every other game running it. This has been going on almost as long as the harvest bug did. FIX THE PROBLEM. Stop adding completely useless and idiotic dinos like the diplo derp derp, manta, or lystro.
