Telly 8 Posted February 8, 2019 On a few occasions I have pulled up to a shore to grab a discovery point, or searching for anchorage, only to have my Company Mate ask "what the hell are you doing"? I see an island, but his view is that we are in the middle of open water... I log out and come back in to see things his way. Anyone else go through this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zhoutai 12 Posted February 8, 2019 I have had this from time to time too, you can sail through them but still very weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fefu 43 Posted February 8, 2019 yeah happened to me. I kept sailing right through the island as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nari 197 Posted February 8, 2019 Atlantis. It picks one crew member and haunts them where ever they go. An unusual bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archsenex 309 Posted February 8, 2019 It happens when you change zones, sometimes the system doesn't properly unload the placeholder islands from your old zone. Relogging has always cleared it up for me. One of the devs said that validating your game files should help (I guess sometimes they get corrupted or something by the engine writing summary data?)

gadefence 148 Posted February 8, 2019 I tried going on one once. You see right through it and can look deep underwater, other then that, nothing special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Scotch 10 Posted February 8, 2019 My wife and I were sailing our galleon the other day and I gave her the wheel for her very first time. She has always been reluctant do to the amount of time it took us to build the ship. Wanting to add to our fleet and start running two ships side by side I talked her into getting her feet wet. After about 15 minutes I go in the hull for one thing or another and I hear this God awful crashing sound, I run to the top deck to see us smashing and skittering through a giant rock. "What the hell are you doing?!?!" inappropriately exits my mouth as she looks at me dumb-founded. I glance at her screen and all she has is clear open water. Scared the shit out of me and set her confidence level back a week i think. No damage received. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arzosah 84 Posted February 8, 2019 I think I'd rather have the mirage over not seeing a rock....I've had some company members that have run into sandbars they couldn't see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molarean 1 Posted February 8, 2019 First time I saw it was in my home zone, I thought they were spawning new landmasses to help with claims. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Volhmic 1 Posted February 8, 2019 I concur; I prefer the "Optical Delusions" over the possibility of not having a valid piece of land pop in... That being said, I have not had any luck via validating game files. They just seem to randomly show up after we rezone with the phantom islands being the same for multiples of us.

Captain Jack Shadow 488 Posted February 8, 2019 We all get this, and yes, the fix is to die and come back. Or relog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rita Longlegs 20 Posted February 8, 2019 Mirages can be quite nasty....

Telly 8 Posted February 8, 2019 @Rita LonglegsLOL it is kind of amusing to be freaking out and your mate has no clue why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily, he was following my ship as we went down south, passing several of those icebergs on the way. Had he rammed one at full speed.... ugh :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullet Force 151 Posted February 9, 2019 This happens quite often and is definitely a client side bug. It's interesting though when you go through it your ship goes all crazy and acts like it really is hitting rocks which can be a bit worrying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
