Re: [OPEN] Disappearing Ceiling (Glass Roof)

@Astaraya I have made you a video of my findings. Good news is on one of the buildings when I re-traced the room the room sealed and everything worked as expected. The not-so-good news is the other building is showing some the flooring glitch issues that have a bit of the dynamics of the one bug report I sent you, but it is actually reminding mr more of the flooring bug that we have been tracing since Island Living. I am not positive if it began with the patch that was a few days before IL came out or if it came with the pack, but I noticed it when beginning a build with the pack that week. There is suspicion that the glass floor tiles from Island Living &/or the stilt foundation contributed to the issue, but I am very interested in your build since it contains neither, and you do not have Island Living. I am going to consult with Crinrict and other helpers to determine if we should merge your information with the other bug report. I will let you know about that shortly.

Video confirming the issue & showing a workaround: https://youtu.be/OJNYrU6REtY

In the meantime... there is also a workaround for the other building that I show you in the video, so I think that will help you be able to finish the build to it is functional. Thank you for sharing your build and for your patience!!

  • Hi, Thank you very much, I finished the second floor on the previously unfinished building just now and while I was able to close the room thanks to the flooring trick you showed me, placing roofing to the sides of the room is also glitchy still, which might be due to the whole issue of the flooring/ceiling disappearing as well. The roofing only registers on the second floor when 2/3 tiles are inside the room. It's not too much of a hassle with some readjusting of the sizing, but I thought it's something you should know as well. Attaching some screenshots of the issue.

    @Astaraya That is strange. I just tried adding that roof (as in your screenshots) onto the building and found the same thing in my game. Thanks for adding the information as this may also help when they are working on the bug.

    @Astaraya We were wondering if you would have a look at this thread and see if you think this is the issue you are facing. I know that thread is a mixture, and a bit overwhelming. I am also wondering if, since yours has other dynamics and has nothing to do with the stilt flooring or glass floor tiles, if you may want to just file your own, separate bug report. Let us know, as if you like we can merge your post with this other bug report: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-IL-Floors-disappearing-on-water-lots-with-glass-floors/m-p/7983363#M95188

  • Hi, This other thread does sound similar to what I'm experiencing but there are also factors that make mine different since I don't have any stilt foundations or glass dance floors on the lot or the Island Living pack. I think perhaps that it would be better to file a separate bug report. Thanks. 🙂

    I just observed the same issue in my game. :/  I moved the build mode camera zooming in/out and the tops of built rooms disappeared/reappeared. The default construction quality concrete is used on the tops of the rooms and there is a transparent roof on the lot, but it is not connected to the structure having issues.
