  As a host I see the forest of 'charcoal' trees that burned.
  Players that join my hosted session do NOT see the burned out trees but when walking through the area run into the invisible trees.

  Host sees the burned trees, those who join the server do not until the trees are cut down. The attached picture is from someone who joined my server. I also have a pic that shows a forest of charred trees. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1679269251870482048/88060FFF3190E308A68B2B8918AEFB2AD4899478/

  yeah we had the same issues, all the burned trees are invisible for clients but the trees are there they can run against the tree the tree is only invisible until the host starts to cut the tree.

  I can see the dead trees as the host but other clients can't.

  Client enterd a area burned by host. Immediately client was teleported rapidly multiple times (with black screen) and unable to use UI. Lasted until they were able to rapidly click UNSTUCK.
  This behaviour around burned trees (the trees were invisible to client) was repeatable and persistent apon leaving and reentering prospect and area.

  In coop we had a forest fire. after that in multiplayer the other non hosts of the game dont see the ash trees. if they walk into the spot where one is standing they bug out and get a geometry loading screen sometimes getting stuck until the tree is broken by the host who can see the tree.

  I had this issue. I burnt a load of trees near our base. My buddy was hosting the prospect. Next time I logged into the prospect the area looked bare, no burnt trees, no ground clutter. I killed an animal walking through that area, and went to skin it, but it went very wrong. Invisible collision hulls and lots of very strange effects. The game tried to push me out of they way, but wouldn't stop pushing me as if I was holding a move button down. I saw what looked a solid cloud of grey cloud in the direction I had been pushed from. I got reloading geometry loads several times. I got flashes of mountain as if I had fallen through the scenery. This bug has happened multiple times in multiple different prospects. Dropping out and reloading the prospect didn't help. Related, sometimes workbenches in our base don't load, but dropping and reloading has helped in these instances. Always my friend hosting because he has a better PC.

  I am also having this issues with my friends. The host can see the burnt trees but no one else can and when someone that cant see the trees runs through them it starts preparing geometry for them. After it finishes and loads back in the character is stuck running in whatever direction they where running in until they press that direction key again. We have also noticed while I was typing this up that the Fireplace is also invisible for clients but not the host.

  After 'preparing geometry' the player who ran through an invisible tree or rock can not mine special ore nodes like iron or coal until a relog.

  I am experiencing a bug where a storm made a forest into charcoal trees and when I loaded in I didn't see them. So now when I walk into the general direction, I get teleported into a mountain and it causes this cycle of loading and clipping through map. I was able to use unstuck after restarting my game twice but now I can't go near that area without getting teleported and I'm afraid to adventure. My friend who is hosting can see the trees but I can't so he kept me away from the area but it seems to be a weird issue.

  2 friends had issues when I was hosting session with them saying that they was hitting an invisible wall and was either going underground or crashing! But on my screen they was up against a burnt Forrest tree ! Once I chopped the tree down they was free if they hadn't crashed out of game !

  Also running into this issue. Host can see burnt trees that occurred from a Flash Storm, others cannot.
  Even swapping hosts, whoever currently hosts can see burnt trees.
  
  If a player runs into the trees they can't see, they start in a loading geometry loop until they can try to get out of the tree.

  It doesnt seem to be an issue when I host but just the charcoal trees seem to be buggy and not show up once in awhile

  Exact same issue here, and if you try to run through an invisible 'burnt tree' it throws up a 'preparing geometry' screen after which mining goes completely screwed up, it's making it unplayable for us as we have several large burnt areas.

• 11 Dec, '21

  Same issue
  Guest cannot seee burnt trees but host can. If guest collides with burnt tree they cannot see, game loads geometry screen and sometimes guest gets stuck.
  
  Have successfully chopped down tree (as host) and guest became free.

  I was hosting a session getting things ready for mission and during that time there was a forest fire from a storm. I can see all the burnt trees but the new person that joined can only see and empty field. This is an issue because then they run in this section of forest the keep getting calculating geometry every time they run through and invisible tree and it lags the whole session. I tried to swap host to see if when they loaded in and saw the burnt trees it would fix. It fixed it for them but now it caused me to have the problem. i couldn't see anything but empty field and kept getting the same issue. this is a major problem for the stability of the session. please look into this and fix.

  I have had this problem I was playing with friend he was host then I was playing without him and had a forest fire lots of trees burned then he hosted all the trees were gone but I was getting stuck on where the trees were at

  This exactly happened to me, In a burnt forest area, I ended up in a loading geometry loop and could not even hit escape to unstuck, Host had to kill me so that I could respawn in a different area. Then I could not go into that area to even get my stuff without getting stuck again.

  MP: After a fire, charcoal trees disappear and non-hosts can't see them. New growth trees are invisible and can cause meshing (pushed me through the floor, fell, respawn in tree, pushed through floor, rinse/repeat until you Unstuck or someone cuts down the invisible tree.

• 19 Dec, '21

  same problem, we did a huge forest fire and the invisible trees also leave holes where characters falls forever into the map, triggering the "constructing geometry" message

  We had the same issue just today, it was pushing me (I was joined in multiplayer, but not as a host) inside rocks/mountains and eventually leading to crash the whole game for me. And everytime when the clipping happens the host gets a massive fps drop. It started to happen when we restarted the whole game and mission. It was lagging a little before we restarted, but then it went kinda wild.

• 21 Dec, '21
  Evige Merged

  Sry for the confusion, so we restarted the game, BUT resumed the same prospect (mission) which we were playing. So we didn't restart the whole prospect. Our host noticed aswell that some of the rocks had reappeared under our "house" which he had already mined, but we couldn't see them, might this be a larger problem when resuming a prospect?

• 24 Dec, '21

  Had the same issue where there was a forest fire and after anyone who joined couldnt see the trees at all. If someone killed something in the zone there was a chance that they would get a "loading geometry" screen. It only seems to happen if the person tries to come in after there is a fire. Only thing i think might be happening is there is a code streaming problem with the tree's mabye having no health or something after the fire so they show as if they were gone?

  when we play with multiple persons, they can't see trees when they are burned and are just running into an invisible wall where the burned tree should be.

  this bug has been reported for months, and nothing. so im going to make a post about it. basically, if too many trees get burnt, and you relaunch the prospect, they turn invisible, and crash you if you touch them. this has been crashing my pc over and over again and i cannot take this anymore. entire biomes turn into pc crashing minefields. this has also happened to multiple other people, including my friend whom i play with.

  I was playing with a friend and he had huge issues while going through a burnt section of the forest. I have video from his screen and a screenshot from mine to compare. It was like there was an entire void there for the forest where it was burned. Video at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1g9lLhyxcdK3PfpJOv1lebphZdQi03iQB?usp=sharing

  My group has noticed this issue as well. To reproduce:
  
  - Have a forest fire, whether via lightning strike or intentionally set
  - Everyone will be able to see the burned trees
  - Everyone log out
  - The next player to host will be able to see the burned trees, but the rest of the players will not
  - The host is always able to see the burned trees, even if the player hosting changes (so it's related to the hosting of the session, rather than a specific player)
  - If the host chops down a charcoal tree, the other players are able to see the charcoal fall and the charcoal stump as soon as the tree breaks
  - If a player runs into an invisible burned tree, they will temporarily be stuck on "Preparing geometry", but will eventually be put back into the world

  this bug just happened to me in my co-op game i was host and could see the burnt trees but my friend was geting stuck in them and couldnt see them .

  This is still happening, as of 15/5/2022. Also was able to wall inside of the Invisible trees / object and got bugged out / stuck in them. Then was on a loading prospects loop flicking back and forth between the world and loading page (preparing geometry) After logging out and getting unstuck from the tree, i couldn't interact with anything in game. Plz fix.

  Burned trees that were not felled will grow new trees in the burned trees!
  Cutting down and relogging to the station didn't do anything.

  Burnt trees don't populate for prospect guest, resulting in invisible holes in the surface mesh. Guest players can fall through the holes and switch to a "Preparing Geometry" screen. They then reappear at the exact same location, sometimes moving as if a key is stuck, requiring the player to press and release a movement key appropriate to the direction of travel in order to stop travel. After that, the player can no longer interact with anything in the game. The player will need to exit and restart the client, then rejoin the prospect. All three players in the prospect have hosted, all three players have had this problem as guest. As a temporary fix, our host player is now chopping down burnt trees when they are found, which appears to close the hole.

  Trees--> After restarting the outpost map, burned trees will spawn in normal trees. It also doesn't matter if you mine (destroy) the burnt trees before restarting or not.
  Burned trees that have been destroyed will partially spawn again when a new storm event starts. (Mostly during thunderstorms without rain)
  
  [Client side] it rains and storms in buildings.

  There are not many issues in Icarus that I would consider game breaking, but this is one of them. I grinded out an Outpost only to have persistent trees like this make it unenjoyable for not only myself but the friends I play with when they have a geometry collision when they go near burnt/ charred trees that they cannot see. This in turn causes severe lag for me as my friends get stuck in a "Building Geometries" screen and are forced to log out until I cut hundreds of trees down.
  
  Burnt trees also come back in no matter how many times I destroy them and thus this problem is persistent. Frame rate is now permanently degraded solo and more so when friends join until a fix is implemented for this problem.

  Every time we log out, the trees that caught fire respawn back to normal trees. With burnt trees underneath. The most burnt trees that came out of one tree we counted 5. its really affecting the lag in the area where we are staged. So if there's a way to not have the burnt trees be on there when we respawn that would help
