Dathomir: Falling through ground at tomb entrance 2nd visit and workaround
Product: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Dathomir: on my return after making new lightsaber, i missed the leap and catch on the climbable lichen and landed on the edge of the slide (the same slide you get dumped down onto first time around by the rock in a scripted story cutscene.) this meant when i fell off and died (wasnt expecting to miss the ledge and so failed to jump on the slide) i respawned back where i jumped from. BUT then i found when i made the jump instead of going down the slide, i sank to my knees in the ground texture on the other side. moving forward dropped me down through and under the level, landing on several random rocks which i stood on. the only way to respawn was to jump off and disappear into the void until it respawned me. THIS CAN BE RECOVERED FROM by backtrackiing to a different section, and then coming back - that then forces you to reload the backtrack section, then REload the section where the jump is and you get the correct version.
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? second time at dathomir, instead of jumping and catching the lichen and climbing up, fall down the gap onto the slide below - i fell onto the edge closest to the tomb side, and then fell off that edge so i didnt slide down into the swamp. you need to cause a respawn back to the point above where you have to make the jump and catch onto the lichen to climb up and go to the tomb again to face your dead master again. you will know when it has happened because climbing to the top, you will be up to your knees in the ground, and fall through by walking towards the tomb entry.
What happens when the bug occurs? the game isnt loading the correct level because i think it expects you to be dropping down onto the slide again so it loads that version of the level.
What do you expect to see? not sure how to resolve this myself. you need the slide section there in case someone is going for completion. maybe you could respawn them further back at the two swing ropes or something if you have come back with your new lightsaber, something that forces the game to reload the level with the choice of dropping or going forward rather than assuming always you hit the slide so meant to take the slide. so failling off the first section should reload the choice section and making it over to another section of slide and dying before the bottom reloads the 'sliding' version of the section?
i think this kind of thing might be the cause behind a lot of the other bug reports i read here - perhaps you could suggest to others that if they can go back to another section where possible and then come back to the bugged section on whatever planet, it should force the game to reload the correct section. this might not be possible in all cases i know, but it worked for my problem because i could go back towards mantis and enter a previous section and come back to reload the 'bugged' section with the correct (not the slide) version.
