I think it doesnt drive over water on purpose so HV's still have a use, the second point of yours yeah this shouldnt happen.

But overall im happy, i love exploring a planet with the bike without getting stuck on everything with a big HV or without a need to land with a CV everytime.

Also i love that i can put it in my bag lol

Well, this version can actually turn. So, it's an improvement.

Yeah, its actually usable now to move fast on a plannet.

It seems you got a different version than me. The new motorbike is completely unusable. I have to go by foot, if I have no SV on that planet.

Addition to my comment: This seems to be a problem in Reforged Eden.

Your version of RE is outdated. An update to 1.10 for RE was released within 5 minutes of the 1.10 update going public.
If you're playing on a server, it's up to the server owner to update manually. SP games will update when you start/restart Empyrion.

I too was having issues with the hover bike in RE. Both were updated to 1.10 and it was a new creative scenario. I go up to the bike and it either glitches or kicks me off the darn thing. I verified the files for Empyrion and unsubscribed and re-subbed to RE and it fixed my issue.

how does the new hoverbike work. Mine fails to move altogether, so feels like a real victory.

press space bar to make it hover

the game used to have tooltips of a sort, for actions, so that is missing. Still feels broken though because the bike was able to move sideways for me, nice update but underwhelmed on the way it got added because mounting and dismounting the bike are made harder without any actual playability benefit for someone new to the hoverbike?

2. The bike sound is intensily annoying.
3. When entering water the "hover"bike teleports randomly or just glitches, so it's not feeling like anyone tested this update.

Vanilla
the bike did not sink it teleported
on the 3rd attempt it did sink and was "untouchable" or irrecoverable due to a terrain glitch

I basically been on the bike for 2 minutes and I found at least 2 defects, which in my books counts as low test effort even if 1000 other players have used the bike for a total of 1000 minutes, and not had any issues. My 2 minutes trumps as a poor out-of-box experience.

The patch notes do specifically note that it is NOT intended to be used over water.

[zaphodikus]

fishing your bike out of the lake was always dangerous, and fun. I'll have to try do that a few more times though for kicks now that danger is more relative. Just waiting for land-sharks to get added.

The rules regarding hover technology are very clear.
