    2020 Space Odyssey - the monolith returns

    This magical pillar has made a return after Thursday's maintenance, even though there was no client-side patch. It wasn't there on Wednesday, but has appeared and disappeared after earlier patches.



    This is on PC, but I assume it's present on the console versions of the game too? It's appearance doesn't bode well, as I often seem to discover other geometry problems when it's present.

    [edit] Map location:

    PC, and yes, the other people in my group could see it too. It's appeared before in the invaded version of the map also.

    Yep came across that as well, and i had one like this in another place in the bunker.

    Other places as well have these blocks popping up randomly.

    Last night on the Invaded version:



    Today on the regular version:



    Another member of the group confirmed they were seeing the same thing on that last one.

    No client patches between the two, so this is presumably a server problem

    If I had to hazard a guess about what's causing the bugs, it would be something to do with the recent changes to the loot from chests inside missions. That location that Dagrommit shows is where a weapon crate normally spawns. I noticed last night while doing the invaded version that the weapon crate wasn't there, but was replaced with a orange resource bag like what's shown in the later pictures of the thread here.

    I've never seen the weird pillars, but if I was bug-hunting through the code, that's where I'd start looking.

    It's a nice theory, but I saw the pillar appear before TU10 too. I never bothered to report it because it wasn't blocking access to the weapon crate, and seemed to have been fixed the next time I ran the mission.

    i really thought your thread was a spam thread..due to the title.. lol.
    i get the reference but the title choice wasn't very inviting considering the forums history of spam movie threads.. lol.

    Invaded Fed Bunker this week, and the monolith has returned. Exactly the same as before
