Buildings gone invisible on quest activation

[Omici]

Windows 10

MP with me just hosting the game, not a dedicated server

Latest_experimental - unstable build

No mods

 

Last night when activating a quest for a building me and two friends had just cleared, the building and 2 surrounding ones basically went invisible, (most) walls and roofs were seemingly gone.  I tried restarting the game, that just made my two friends also get the issue. As well as validating the steam files, without improvement. 

 

 

Pastebin and Justpasteit didn't seem to enjoy the log from a several hour play session, so I threw up the file on here, the relevant bits should be around the bottom: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18M8Jnce6L5gofzBKsaWAPWFEkLzkxOM9IdMCpfBHaoE/edit?usp=sharing

 

A tldr of what the console has told me: 

Failed setting triangles. Some indices are referencing out of bounds vertices. IndexCount: 498, VertexCount: 133

I’ve seen this complaint several times and it’s due to remnants of A19 files in your A20. A straight update from A19 to A20 will cause this. Click on the blue banner at the top of the page and it will give step by step instructions on cleaning and uninstalling the game. Before reinstalling, be sure that you are opted out of betas so it doesn’t reinstall A19.

fresh install on both client and server, both directories were wiped server and client side before the install, error didnt happen until over 190 days in game, poi had been involved in a quest al least twice from me alone.

 

maybe a19 assets were left in during the earlier builds of a20? then removed? explaining why its was fine before..

[Star69]

I guess it’s possible. A20 rollout has seen some weird file issues. A bunch of server providers loaded a bunch of their rental servers with A19 files in their A20 builds that took them a while to figure out the issue. Definitely some missing blocks. Any chance you have old A19 maps saved on the server with the same seed name as this map? At this point I’m reaching for a good explanation for you.

 

Edit: how about telling me the seed name, map size, any special generation changes as well as map coordinates of that poi and I’ll generate that map and see if I see what you see? I guess it could be a real generation bug.

I have seen people saying that with hosting services, but this is my old PC i'm using and I dumped everything a19 to try and avoid any issues like this, have used a new world save name and seed, old save data, and 7d2dserver directory was archived and deleted. As soon as I notice that the server is free, i'll wipe the server directory, reinstall and report back the results. fingers crossed this is the issue. I would hate to have the server continue to degrade without a valid explanation.

 

--Might be worth mentioning that i'm using steamcmd, seems I can't edit posts after a certain amount of time.

That’d be great. I don’t want to keep going with the “you have residual A19 files causing this” but unfortunately that is a very common issue. I want bugs like that fixed as I’m sure you do but TFP has very stringent guidelines on reporting bugs so we have to ask these questions. They don’t want to chase down 50 bug reports that end up being someone not cleaning their files. We do a few things here, someone tries to duplicate it and if we do, a proper bug report can be made so they can fix it, make this great game better.

No luck, deleted everything server & client side except the world I generated with a20 on Dec 6, unfortunately its the only courthouse_med_01 on the map, so I cant see if others are bugged too, it was working though. As I said, I personally ran thru the poi twice without issue.

 

After some digging, I used dm, found the chunk and deleted the related region file, the poi is now fixed.

May I ask you for more detailed steps? Like what command to use and how to find the related chunk.

Interesting. I think that what you found just might be a bug. I’d recommend submitting an official bug report so the QA team can take a look at it. Thanks for working that up.

seems as a consequence, every vehicle on the map was wiped
