    Yeah that\'s probably still an ssue from soft borders since you are basically changing position to the other end of a sector. The current sector is moved to the center instead of you moving to an absolute position, since absolute variables aren\'t big enough to handle positions big enough.

    Hmm in single player works just fine, at least on my pc i just checked it now , and also it happened in MP even when i was standing still by the shop with my build. hoooha i didnt changed sector in SP ill do that now and see what will happen. >>> update: ok so i went from 2.2.2 to 2.2.4 and back i did it in core and in big ship, and everithing works fine in SP.

    I have encountered the same bug, disappearing everything. Occasionally it happens to just laser/rocket effects, most often with the scavenger beam (since it is used continuously).

    Actually Apmenard with lasers i noticed it since beginning when i got starmade, wasnt that hard with this , but this is even worse cause whole ship and surronding area is gone for few seconds and whole process repeats. But really i moved to SP yesterday to finish one ship in peace, and spend there most of the day, i havent seen disappearing objects at all in SP, could be coincidence too but im not convinced to that. Aaah i forgot to add that in the evening i logged in on madrealms again, problem still was there but this time not so often only one person was there with me, and before like 5 or 6. OK ANOTHER UPDATE it happened in SP too...

    Can confirm this problem. Somehow the objects vanish from the rendering context for a short while. strangely this happened to my hole base + ships but not the factory link...that looked pretty weird, lol!

    I had disappearing lasers myself one time.
    possibly the update that packs all the relevant objects into a neat little set for clients has a bug. Or an optimization caused a synchronization issue with observers...
    If you can, try to find a reproducible way to cause this bug in sp (but it\'s probably a thread related issue so there might not be any reproducibility)
    I\'ll try to fix that issue asap

    We tried to reproduce it a few mins ago, but no luck. Tried constant border crossing - no dice. But it seems to happen when a new sector gets loaded (maybe). I got this bug while the other player was moving - i was just hanging around in my base.
    I would guess its somehow related to WorldGen/sector loading and sent packets. Basicly the whole world is not drawn for a very short time (2-5 secs). And strangely the links of the factory blocks are still rendered.

    I kept on trying to fly to planets, but once I got near them, they dissapeared.

    Repeatable Condition Found

    I found this bug last night after a short hiatus (thanks to the death of my old laptop):

    I then searched for the bug and found this forum thread.

    That said I logged on today and it took me barely 5 minutes to expose a repeatable condition to trigger this, and it is simply to use the \"ctrl\" function in build mode.

    I had used it last night to good effect for good 10 minutes or so before this bug croped up, but it doesnt appear to take anything more than a couple seconds if that to cause it to happen now.

    I Have tried multiple gfx configurations and this is apparantly repeatable on my rig no matter the settings.

    Thanks Schema and I hope you get this msg in a timely manner... if not, my apologies.

    :P

    I can confirm and disagree with the repeatable conditions posted above.

    Sometimes it happens for me in build mode when I use the ctrl function, but it has ALWAYS happened to me when i use the \"c\" key in build mode. For me all the blocks disappear entirely, and do not come back until I restart. Have only tested in MP and not SP.
