ASE Disappearing and Levels Disappearing

[Lofiet]

Structure
Logged in to the game after exiting from the Monorail station scene (1st one)
What were you doing when the bug occurred? I saved, exited the game, and reentered the game later. I was standing by the chair in the Monorail and turned and did not see my ASE. I stepped into the area but could not interact with anything. The ASE section of my astrotool kit was grayed out and unavailable. I could not click whistle button or anything. I looked up the issue and saw others' sharing the same problem and said to reload into the level. I went to my level manager but there were only the first 3 levels there. I clicked one of those, loaded in, and realized how far back in the game that was from where I had been, but no other levels appear for me now. I have lost the rest of my levels, even though I still have all my collectibles/memories/voice recordings/etc.

same happened to me.
welp, no reply from devs to this so I guess I'll go for a refund.

Hi from 2023 and I just experienced the exact same problem.

I ended up having to go back a level to get it fixed. It's a pretty serious bug that has largely been ignored by the DEV team. https://steamcommunity.com/app/428660/discussions/1/3146305075710545009/

The bug is still happening. Stopped playing when I reached Copernicus Outpost, but when I came back my ASE was missing. Luckily the level select is right where I stopped so I didn't have to redo anything, but it's still annoying if you didn't notice and have to redo a bunch of stuff.
