Invisible non-functioning billboard.

Bug rating

Moderate

When the player leaves their island and re-enter it. The billboard goes invisible. The customise prompt doesn't appear while standing in front of it. Players are able to tell it's there by walking were it is since it creates an invisible push-back effect.

How to trigger

What should be happening

The billboard should be showing all the time while editing the island even should the player leave and return during the same server session.

Temporarily fix

  • In the hub. Switch that island to another of the player's owned island and then switch back to the original island were the bug occurred.
  • Leave creative server and start a new one.

Bug title

The player spawns in the sky instead of the spawn pad.

Bug rating

Moderate

Bug details

For unknown reason. The player may spawn and glide down from sky instead of spawning from a random available spawn pad. Even with spawn location in my island game options is set to spawn pads.

How to trigger

It's currently unknown. I managed to get it to trigger by ending and starting a game 2 times without doing anything. I attempted to duplicate the bug a second time but I was unsuccessful.

What should be happening

The player should never spawn in the sky when there are spawn pads in the area. This can lead to breaking the intended map bounds.

Temporary fix

  • Depending on the situation. Going to options and choosing RESPAWN may respawn the player at the spawn pad or player checkpoint plate correctly.

Glad I could help again.

Our team was able to reproduce some of these bugs, but not all. Are you able to show any video or pictures of the first (billborad issue) and last (hologram displaying 2-4 blocks away) issues?

Also, the issues relayed here around the infinity blade are intended behavior right now.

There's one last thing but I don't know if it got patched or not since I keep forgetting to test it again with a friend on current version.

Apparently it's possible for those that haven't been granted island edit permissions to leave sprays on the owner's island. This probably be classed as an exploit. Owner can still delete them but may not be aware of the action being done.

If there's any more information needed let me know. I be glad to help.

This is SUPER helpful. I'll have our team look at the video to try and determine a fix for these.
