Disappearing/Glitching enemies

Yeah this was strictly 2 runners. I came directly out of the church front door and they were both patrolling to my left side. Honestly there could have been a harvester in the area but I didn’t feel/hear it and all I saw in my field of vision were the 2 runners. That’s only ever happened once, the Hunter issue happens once every few days.

I’m not sure what causes the hunter one. Some enemies do a little slide to the left before a melee attack, and I think their position is interpolated to the new one without doing physics but that’s not the “teleporting” bug. It’s a known one, probably to do with how the squad tried to take positions and flank you.

That sounds reasonable because they’re always spread out around the house when the first one glitches his way inside. Thats the only 2 enemies I’ve had issues with though the ticks, harvesters and tanks all seem to be fine.

I had a hunter glitch into the police station on Himfjäll. Initially I thought it only happens with thin walls like barns and is due to physics (collision detection).

Anyways, happens quite often. Hopefully gets fixed soon. Cover should be cover.

The 2 runners might have wondered off from the escort. Due to range constraints, sometimes only part of the pack gets suspicious and diverts from the route.

That’s a really good thought maybe those runners were possibly part of a harvester pack that got diverted by my previous sounds. That would explain why that only happened once.

The hunter issue is definitely a weird one. At the end of the day really I shouldn’t complain because the hunters can’t do anything stuck in the wall so I get in easy kill and free loot, just kind of feel like I’m cheating the game and that’s not what I wanna do at all.

Usually they appear behind you inside a building. A bit of a rude surprise :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually the popping up behind me is one of my favorite parts. I love the horror aspect of the game and turning around to that is a terribly scary surprise. I usually have to run away and pause so I can get through my mini heart attack haha!

Another case of state change when you look away? (cf. disappearing escort, spawning loot boxes…)

Same thing about vanishing runners has happened to me too. Several times. Both with and without a Harvester included. I’m on Xbox One too.

I would think it would almost have to be, it just fits in too perfectly

The runner issue is probably gonna be an Xbox exclusive bug then it’s interesting you said with and without a harvester. I’ve only seen it once but I believe I’ll try to engage more harvesters to see if I can recreate it.

It’s not XBox specific.

Actually I saw an isolated group of Runners disappear yesterday. Apparently it’s not as common as disappearing Harvester escorts but obviously it happens.

It could, of course, still be part of a Harvester escort. Maybe they got disconnected and wandered of or something. Maybe the Harvester to which they originally belonged blew up or drowned.

I fought with a Harvester who was over the hill just yesterday. I attacked him and hid behind the hill several times, he answered with artillery to my last position each time. And I almost finished him and his entire escort (Hunters). However, the last Hunter just ran past me (I hid in the barn), threw out the ticks and disappeared. I destroyed the ticks, left the barn, and could no longer find the Hunter. I used flares and fireworks, but it was quiet. Then I ran over the hill and didn’t find the Harvester either. He couldn’t have gone so far. It was a creepy and mystical moment. :scream: :robot: :ghost: The only thing is a pity for the resources spent on the Harvester.

Hi,
You should make a new topic for your issue, as you answered one that was three years old and already solved (yes, you/we cannot see that).

Please add infos about the system you used and whether you played alone or in coop and if you were host or guest.

Where did it happen exactly?

In the past there were some issues with disappearing machines next to control points, for example.
@Zesiir: your turn

Yes, I already did. My fault. It was auto-suggested topic and I thought that this is January 20 of 2023. :laughing: Thanks!
