Coupler Bug

[alucia]

I have been sitting on this for a while, as I don't know if it was something on my end causing this or if others are experiencing it as well, but might as well mention it now.

Has anyone else noticed a bug with the couplers where the hook seems to float a distance away from the mounting? As in, when coupling, the hook on one of the cars (or locomotives) seems to float in the air, not attached to anything, and even clipping into the other cars hook?

If I had a screenshot, I would post it, but I never took one. Might take one if it happens again for me, just for a visual of the problem.

Got the same problem. Had to restart the game.

Yup, saw it on the steam engine several times today.

Sometimes the couplers fold up on themselves and can't be manipulated, or begin twitching when the locomotive is on the turntable, and on a few occasions air hoses have disappeared.
You do feel like a proper fool standing there with one hose in hand and nowhere to connect it, wondering if it's you or the game that's broken..

Yes i experience this issue one time.
It happen when i drive my train wiht 6kmt into the back of a wagon.. with other words i might couple to hard and then it broke and the hook and chain on the wagon popped out about 40cm from the fram hanging in mid air.
I was however able to still connect and use the wagon but it was out of place.
I even moved that wagon and the other connected to another stations without issue or any damage to the wagon by the way.. So its just a visual bug.

I cannot recall if it was okay after i save/exit the game and load it again.

Generally, it seems leaving then reloading the game fixes it, it's mostly visual until its so far out that its clipping into another cars hook, then it becomes a pain in the ass to properly manipulate the couplers. I hope the Devs are aware of this and fix it in the next update, but otherwise it's not too difficult to work around.

(I would post a screenshot here, but then I realized that I have no clue how to do so)

The hook drift is getting fixed in the next build.
