[BUG/GLITCH] Falling Through map during Login.
I've had this happen 3 times now, 2 were fatal. I have a base located Approx. 18 lat 69 long, near the edge of the hidden crater with the pond at the center. I've got stone foundations in my base. Three times I have logged into the game and found myself completely under the map swimming in water. The first time I died. The second time I was able to swim to the pond in the middle of the crater, and through some luck after trying for a long time, somehow broke into the water there and was able to live and continue on. Third time, not so lucky, tried for a while to surface into the pond around the same place I remember doing so last time. But could not, and died. This time one of my carnos was still following me, and was standing above me when I died.

How it happens, I log in, and Im either falling and land in water. Or I login and Im already in the water under the map.

Not sure if this is related, but occasionally harvestable plants spawn inside the house through the stone foundations. So far, best I can do, since it happens rarely and randomly it seems, just try to remember to stash all my stuff before I logout, in case it happens again.

Anyone know the cause/solution to this?

I have had this happen to me a couple of times as well. Lucky I have a small stream near my base I have been able to "resurface" in. I did not have a problem getting back top side luckily. You might try logging out on a higher floor in case it takes too long for your building to load in. You hopefully will catch yourself on a lower floor on login.

I often get dropped from the sky on log in.
I die and when coming back find I cannot access my body if I died when in a building.
Relog to find I have to break the floor to access my body (body is under the floor) then annoying have to rebuild the floor again to repair.

Happened to me, just came back to try the expansion. After I log out and log in, I'm way in the air falling... I hit the ground and die... 2x now. I'm logging out out in the open, don't even have a base yet.

That happens on my server(s) too, first I thought sleeping on the second floor might help... but nope. my char sometimes spawns outside the house on the roof, sometimes under the map...
On TheIsland my char spawns in mid air, falling to death.
This needs to be adressed, next to over 50 other unfixed bugs instead of nerfing the tank dino health saddle armor ratio like in v265.x

why are you asking why they are posting in the general forum when this thread was like two years ago

Already submitted 5 bugs, no reply. Bumped the topics, still no reply. That is months ago now...
So why exactly should I go ahead and do the work of submitting 56 bugs again if they get ignored anyways?
On SE I regularly spawn submerged in a foundation or am moved sideways from the location where I logged out. No deaths but one time I was embedded just inches from the foundation my fabricator loaded with materials was sitting on. I tried relogging several times but finally had to break the foundation I was stuck inside. Would have been a big time negative if i had to break the fabricator support. I'll consider ingame suicide to get me to a bed if this happens again. I now have a special dirt floor room that I log out from and so far I've always logged in at the same spot.
