KittyFreak.3281 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Unfortunately, I seem to be having a rather game-breaking issue, as I have been ever since PoF released. When I got my first chance at riding the Raptor mount at the beginning of my Story, the first, most glaring issue was the fact that my camera would stay glued to the spot and would not follow my character around where he went. This made it impossible to travel around the village area and get to the fires that required the mount. The second issue is that the mount does not appear, not for me or any other players around me that are riding a mount, Raptor or otherwise. This leaves all of the character models stuck into the ground as the scoot around on nothing, my character included.Since my camera refuses to follow my character whenever he gets on a mount, this makes it impossible for me to use the mount function in the game. I finally had to get some of my friends to help me put out the fires in the areas that are only able to be reached by Raptor in my story and help me get through the rest of the chapter so I could unlock the Raptor mount, but even outside the instance, the problem persists.This issue has gone on the past few days without a fix, and I have yet to see anybody else have the same problem with their mounts. Here's what I've done to try and fix the problem, to no avail:Let the game download 100%Had my character sit on the mount for around 15 minutes in hopes that the game would catch upTried the mount on all my existing charactersTried getting on the mount in various populated and unpopulated areasUnfortunately, none of these seem to have fixed it, and I'm still stuck with the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Happened to me like... 2 or 3 times, but for me after about 10seconds the mount appeared and camera snapped in the right position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolf.8670 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I've been having this issue since Sunday at some point, too. The camera position stays stuck at the point where you mounted and it looks like I'm dragging my butt off into the distance. Dismounting pops the camera back and usually remounting fixes it.I've also been having issues with assets like buildings, fences, etc. taking a long time to load. Maybe it's related and the mount model isn't loading quickly enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittyFreak.3281 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 I can stay on my mount until it disconnects me from inactivity and it still will not fix itself, I'm afraid. I can also get off and back on the mount as many times as I want, and it will not fix.I understand that Arena Net is probably overwhelmed with bug reports and fixes, but without use of the mount feature, a large portion of Path of Fire is unavailable. I hope for a fix to this bug as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidel.2057 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm having this too every time I go to a new map. If I summon the pet too early I basically go inside the ground ant the camera doesn't follow me. I've been reporting this from day 1 of PoF. However for me it's usually fixed if I dismount and mount again after some seconds (at least until yesterday, but now they've released a new update, so who knows).

Stalkingwolf.6035 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 loading screen ends to early. but after a few seconds the camera snaps back to your player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidel.2057 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Probably they just need mounts to pre-load during the loading screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purrbeast.6397 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 i have had a similar issue, when trying to mount sometimes the raptor just doesn't spawn and the camera stayed glued where i mountedas far as i observed i have been mainly running in to this bug in asset heavy locations like amnoon, i am not sure what fixes it, unmounting and remounting doen't usually help but running off (and using the mini map for navigation, i have gotten depressingly good at it) does eventually snap the camera to youit's probably because i am running this game on too high settings on a toaster but it would be nice if they could fix it ^^;;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crise.9401 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Frequent issue for me as well, I assume it is related to latency, seems completely random but more frequent in higher population or otherwise busy areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I often get this as well. A tiny little me (or maybe it's just a small part of me) takes off while the camera stays in place. I can manuever the tiny me, until i can no longer see me (I've always forgotten [until now, after reading this thread] to use the Mini-map to continue controlling the tiny me). I also have trouble loading assets, sometimes, in areas, but they eventually load. I had the same issue in the Demos, though not as often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightoftheoracle.6125 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'm having the same issue too. I really hope they fix this as it's quit annoying and messing up getting to things on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartlessVeil.1728 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I've had this issue too where my mount would appear after a short while and I believe it may be connected to map loading. For me, my connection is slower than most (mobile phone connection) and I can and usually do sit and watch my map load up while at a waypoint. If I get on my mount as soon as I waypoint, as soon as the map is fully loaded my mount appears. If this is true for everyone, they shouldn't tie mount loading to map loading. They should tie it to character loading since your character loads immediately. It's only right in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leamas.5803 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I have similar issues, mostly on my laptop which is an older i7 with an nVidia gtx445m video card. Basically I'll look like a flying corpse for 5-8 seconds before the game catches up and the camera snaps to my location. It's most noticeable in LA. Even with my desktop, which is an i7-7700k, 1080 video card and GW2 installed on a 6gbps M.2 drive, I don't get issues with mounts rendering, but I'll see map elements such as building and trees with delayed load times, sometimes up to 3-4 seconds. ANet needs to change the map load priority to accommodate slower connections and computers with their minimum specs. Now, at 3Mbps, I don't have an incredibly fast Internet connection, but most map elements should be loading from the hard drive, which should be pretty instantaneous with that drive. Basically they need to change load priority so that all required map and character elements are loaded in to memory before activating the player in to the map.

Sevti.2183 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I have this same issue every single day. They seem to have fixed the camera getting stuck, but my mount sticks me in the ground all the time. At least now that the camera is fixed it's no longer a game-breaking issue, but it's still incredibly annoying. This happens across all characters and seems to happen more often after loading a new map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunacy Solacio.6514 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 It's lag related, specifically seems to be client lag. If your client has not finished loading the environment, you are likely to see this happen. If you aren't stuck in the ground, you may see your mount and other's T-posing, just standing there with no animation. It may rubberband you back to where you started, and slide/run you to where you moved all over again. Additionally, if on a slow laptop, getting on and off a mount repeatedly can leave multiple copies of your mount standing there for others to see. Was odd to see a line of 3 skimmers just sitting there riderless in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KANIX.1438 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I been having this problem a lot recently. Seems to be getting worse. If I hit mount attack while it's glitched I fall under the map. Very annoying when trying to keep up with a group. It's been so bad I just don't use mount. " Fall Behind get left behind" Pirate code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
