The same code worked perfectly in a private playsession but in public matchmaking it stopped working

After the first vehicle teleport it still worked but after the second teleport the vehicle stops working completly with the player unable to drive it until it gets respawned

If needed I can also provide a private Island code where this can be reproduced 100% of the time

Remember to not update the original post, instead post it as a new reply. Also wouldn’t a “private” code indicate that the issue is also present in non-live builds?

Right, in the uefn edit session it worked correctly. Seems to also affect private island codes and probably playtesting island codes. Gonna do a bit more digging to see if I can find a workaround. Not sure if it is caused by specific conditions in my map yet

I can confirm the issue being present in a private code with the Rocket Racing car. After a short moment the car appears to no longer register user movement input. You can still rotate the camera and exit it as well as trigger jumping boosters, but it’s impossible to drive. I also tested the plane and it has the exact same issue. This renders TeportTo unsuable on fort_vehicle and requires a patch asap.

Having the same issue here. Works fine in sessions launched from the editor but private island code stops the vehicle from working after second teleport.

I’ve used this API all over our latest update that we plan to ship. We’ll have to delay or scrap if this isn’t fixed ASAP.

Thank you for the report, getting someone to take a look.

@Flak any info we need to provide? Is there any chance this will be fixed by v37 or v37.10? This issue is very critical im many cases for vehicle focused experiences.

It is only happening in Private/Public, Not in Editor Play

It acts like a desync, You lose control of all vehicle controls, Vehicle loses collision, as if it stayed at the location it was teleported from which makes it seem like a desync

You have to get out of the vehicle, The vehicle cannot be controlled, I have tried many ways with verse to delay many different ways nothing fixes it that I can find, I have tried many different volumes, triggers

It is an issue with Vehicle Controller or Vehicle Pawn

Again, Only with Private or Public Keys.
