Folks who have had this issue in the past seem to be loaded into the world properly. They just seemed to have missed the "okay done" packet that flips the screen from the preparing geometry to game play. It only seems to happen on multiplayer servers.

One way folks seems to have worked around it is to just hit the WASD keys and try to move. They're in the game properly so their character moves and when your character moves your screen updates with your movement and away goes the loading screen.

I've had that in the past, but this is different. I'm stuck at the "Preparing Geometry" screen. Where it has the loading symbol. I will try to see if WASD makes a difference, however.

Just tried it. WASD, or any other key stroke doesn't work. I do think it's PingPerfect. Maybe just my server. May have to roll back to a previous backup. Our server on Low.ms didn't have an issue. I loaded in, and played for a while. No issues, so it's not the game, and no my computer. Has to be our server on Ping Perfect that has an issue.

This appears to just be a corruption of my character, likely on the PingPerfect server. I will try to take this character to the Low.ms server. I was able to create a new character, take it onto that server, then I edited the json file to give the new character all the talents and tech tree abilities, XP, etc... So all I'm losing is my tames. I'll just kill them and tame new animals.

I wish this game allowed us to set these animals so that everyone can control them...set them to follow, etc... If we had that ability, I would have set them that way, and I wouldn't have to tame new animals.

I don't understand making the tames so private, while things like workshop armor, weapons, tools, etc., can be taken by your friends, or anyone who comes on the server. You can't lock a storage box or crafting station, but your tames are locked?

It's the horses, chickens and sheep that are gonna hurt, since those came from the workshop.

Last time i have this Issue, i download the .json to my local Space, start playing it local - after this, i reupload the ,json on my dedicated Server and it works - give it a try?

I did this, and took him to Styx hard mode, local.
Played for a while because I was having fun. Focused totally on getting crafting stations built until I got the fabricator.

So now I don't want to lose that. So I have a question. What happens to him on Styx, if I load him back into the Prometheus server? Does that prospect on my local game, disappear? If he leaves that prospect, do I just need to store his armor and inventory in the small base, and then return to it when I'm ready?

I've already recreated him on the Prometheus server, but the new character can't interact with the mounts and pets. So I do want to take him back to Prometheus. But, I would also like to save the progress on Styx.

Any advice?

Oh wait, I misread your post, and just realized that you are saying that you downloaded the whole server state to your local, not just the character.

sry for beeing not cleared enough - my bad - i downloaded the Prospects .json to the local space

I’ve been having the same issue on my LOW.MS server, but I disabled Steam save cloud sync, and I was able to get past the geo screen. I had another character that wasn’t having that issue, so I don’t know how Steam was messing up, but you might try that.
