Not sure if this is a Namalsk problem but I've come across this a few times now. Out of nowhere there is suddenly and invisible wall.

Oh, that's a nice Sunday surprise.

Seems like the Physx Geometry lod of that wreck is out of sync with all the other lods.
Players are no physx simulated objects so they collide with the geometry lod, vehicles are physx simulated.

Does it happen when the wreck is not present?
can you trow a granade against it and it will bounce off the invisible geometry?

 

PhysX Geometry LOD != Geometry LOD

It's weird because they are not always on the same place. Next time I find one I will try the grenade and get back to you.

One of the players reported 2 on the dirt road near Nijita, but when I drove over them after restart they were gone.

 

To be continued!

I think it's ether the LOD out of sync due some weird script command combination or hidden objects that are spawned in. 

Both mission related.

A map is very static, once it's packed in a pbo it's set in stone where what is.

Two questions:

#1 - Are bicycles able to be purchased at your trader?  (ie: persistent bikes are present in the db)

#2 - Are you seeing errors like this in your log:

If so, you might be seeing the same thing we are seeing on our server.  These errors are due to bikes not storing correctly, and therefore not loading correctly. For example, the one error is :

Error in expression <372,-0.185431,0.135257,0.973304,[[],[]],<null>,<null>,"9510",""]]]>

There was a bike in the db with pin 9510 that threw this error. If you look at the db records for bikes, cargo_magazines, and cargo_weapons are null which is unexpected. There is one set of errors for every bike.

I'm working on an update to my vehicle protection script that will delete bikes on restart, which you're welcome to hack up for just the delete piece. We're finding that purchase bikes are single use and have no need to be loaded back on restart, other than to cause the problem you see and slow the server down.

wrong topic? xD

Nope, our theory is that persistent bikes start to load, then it blows up, so their texture doesn't get loaded. So you end up with invisible bikes. Hit them at full speed, KABOOM!
