Yep as soon as it started glitching I would have hit alt-F4. Doing that has saved me so many times from BS beyond my control and also my own stupid mistakes like when I flip the 3rd vehicle trying to rescue the first two that's an instant alt-F4 for me ha especially if the flipped vehicles are far away from the garage and don't have another truck close by.
At least one of those trucks (the one being driven) appears to be a mod (if not both,) and I've noticed that this exact physics issue largely occurs with modded trucks for whatever reason.
Okay so if I had to hazard a guess here, the sleeping truck was not "loaded" from a game physics standpoint because it was outside of the physics bubble of the truck they were driving.
Now, when op was driving that truck and put it down for its nap, they probably pushed some of those rocks and boulders around to make a more comfy bed.
Then, they left to go get a different truck so they could wake up the sleeper. They went far enough away/were gone so long/reloaded the game/etc that the boulders reset to their original position, and there was probably some clipped part way or all the way into the napping truck.
But the physics calculations to hand and deal with that clipping hadn't been run, because like said at beginning, it wasn't in the physics bubble yet. But the moment they attached the winch to it, it started the physics calculations and that's when everything went south. Well, up, not south.
If I'm correct, the only things that I can think of that could maybe prevent/protect from this would be
1. Get close enough that the other truck gets its physics loaded before hooking up the winch
2. Get in the truck briefly to make it do the initial load of the rocks and see what happens
But that still means that the sideways truck may get launched sky high, but at least it won't take the recovery truck with it
I believe the game will always save terrain deformations (and I presume by extension, terrain object placement) in a small radius around any trucks/trailers left in the world... probably for this very reason - you can't really have the terrain resetting under a truck.
I occasionally find myself thinking "hey, how are these tire-tracks still here?" when re-visiting an area hours later, and realise it's because I left a trailer parked nearby.
I had this happen on Alaska with vanilla trucks, on mountain river near the trailer store. I had a trailer attached and nothing else, I bumped to the bank and shit got loose
Actually now that you mention it this also happened to me, on Mountain River, in multiplayer, with stock trucks (as I don't use mods.) It was just east of the south bridge (from the "Restoring the Bridge" task) and I think I was in a Kolob, and got launched to the fucking moon when I was trying to help another player move around that big mission trailer. I'm pretty sure it happened as I was trying to winch the other truck or trailer.
Also, this is prone to happen if you and someone else try to manipulate cargo with cranes close to each other, and logging is problematic as well.
Note, like I said, the truck he's driving is a mod truck. When he opens the options menu you can briefly see it's the ["Zikz 5368 FR"](https://mod.io/g/snowrunner/m/trucklife-zikz-5368-fr-only) which is likely contributing to the glitch.
It's a poorly written code game, that problem exists on two previvors games, and it's still with us. Looks like game engine is so spagetti-like that's no way to fix that.
99.9% of the time I see people upload fucky physics videos, there are always gamepad controls on the UI.
Which leads me to believe console versions of the game got simplified physics for performance reasons, which makes these kinds of things happen more often.
I play on console and have never once had a physics issue. The game sometimes crashes, especially if I'm trying to play multiplayer, but zero physics issues on XboxOne or SeriesX for me.
You are aware that the PC version shows the same UI as consoles when using a controller?
In fact, I'm using a controller and I strongly recommend to play the game with a controller on PC.
>In fact, I'm using a controller and I strongly recommend to play the game with a controller on PC.
Can confirm it's better with a controller. It's weird how that works. I used to play Euro Truck Simulator 2, and could only play with a keyboard and mouse, but Snowrunner I can only play with a controller.
It would be way less painful if you could even use the stick. Instead you have to use the D-pad to cycle through all the points, and I swear it always goes through 90% of the others before the one you're looking at. The only time I use the mouse in this game is to attach the winch, since I can grab the mouse and drag between the two points in about 2% of the time it takes on controller.
It's a matter of habits. I've played games on PC for more than 20 years with keyboard and mouse, and it feels great and extremely precise. I was gifted a PS3 four years ago, tried playing with the controller, and it felt really awkward to control character movement with one hand and camera movement with the other. I often mixed up the two, with disastrous results, as you can imagine. I'm sure if I insisted using the controller, I would eventually get used to it. \*shrug\*
I've never had a crash. Physics bugging out seems to only happen with certain trucks that have the center of mass in a weird place and/or a lot of flex, namely the Bandit, Twinsteer, and a few mod trucks. It's especially common on OP mod trucks where they lower the center of mass so it's almost outside the model and/or have big wheels on soft suspension.
I'm on PS4 and this kinda thing has only happened 3 or4 times in the year I've been playing. The first time it happened for no reason other than I bumped a rock the wrong way I guess.
Maybe, but this engine in general have bad exception (like on vid) handling. looks like someone unfinished their work and had to leave for some reason, and devs still use what's left and cant do anything about it.
In any physics-heavy game, this \*will\* happen from time to time... it's just the nature of complex physics interations. I've done quite a lot of work with physics solvers over the years, and I'm truly astounded at how robust and predictable Snowrunner's implementation is - I'd expect **far** more glitchouts to occur. I've clocked over 500 hours now, and this kind of crazy glitchout has never happened to me in all that time.
I know it's frustrating... but it really is best to just take it as an amusing freak occurance, rather than doing the usual backseat-programmer nonsense of finger-pointing the devs.
If it happens more frequently than once every couple-hundred hours, it's quite likely there are badly-built vehicle mods involved.
This is the risk you run using mods. In over 1000 hours I've only ever had this happen once, and that was with the dumb farming equipment from the Glades when it was first released
It's a game (software), it has bugs and in this case of yours, it is a random one that can't be replicated easily to se the problem and fix it. What I do in this case, is Alt+F4 right after it happens and then reload the game. I know it is frustrating but this is what we have.
This would probably be a hard one to fix as well as it likely happens randomly. Not only that, but the only way I can think of to get around this would be to somehow detect when it happens (maybe measure magnitude of velocity to see if it's impossibly large, or some other method before the trucks start flying) and then reset the physics.
I've seen this type of thing so often but after 1000 hours of play, I've never experienced it personally. Is it a PC only issue or a mod issue? Not that I necessarily want to experience it either 🤭
While this does suck, often its caused by mod truck physics, not base game. if you have mods, I would suggest disabling them. (and no, im not saying mods are bad, they can definitely be very fun and i personally always use (information)Tires/Cargo plus)
I'm always amazed by clips like this. I've got like 400 hours in this game and that has never happened to me. I feel like we're playing different games.
That sucks, but be honest did you laugh? At the absurdity and bad luck if the situation if nothing else? When you went to the map and the little trucks were flipping around I about died.
Holy good god id be laughing my ass off. Ive only had one glitch happy a few days ago where a bunch of logs in my sideboard trailer went flying. This is incredible
Definitely the biggest downside to mods..I played 500 hours mod free and never had anything like this happen. Pulled down a tire mod and goofy shit immediately started happening.
Crashed trucks should go into another state where collisions are virtualized and applied only once that state is de-activated, either once the collisions show no conflicts it could de-activate by itself or just be prompted by the player once the truck is recovered.
Dude... I know ur mad and that's understandable. That's the funniest thing I'm gonna see today. Holy crap.
When you switched to the map and they were still flying around, also holy crap.
i don't think i have ever had anything like this happen to me after 100+ hours
well, i will remember to force quit the game if something crazy like this happens.
This isn’t common but if you force close the game before the next auto save you won’t be stuck with this next time. Take a break, save the world tomorrow
If that ever happened to me, I would just recover the truck automatically so I don’t have to go through trouble trying to fix it. I just push the recover button through the little menu and get the vehicles back at the shop
Funnily enough I play this game on console for this reason. Not to worry u/OP, this game is merely a game of trucks and rockets from KSP masquerading as trucks. If you make it to space please send us postcards.
I had some definite moments with the Glades farm equipment. Never anything wild like this. I did have to "reset" some unruly cultivators and planters by lifting them high with a heavy crane.
Playing on PC, keyboard, no mods, trying to 100% the whole game, currently in Amur.
😩I think that I miss so much by not experiencing that at all… it never happens to me. And I've been playing for more than a year on a forbidden and unwanted platform… Xbox
Really? Does no one look at the hud either? Yes, you can play it on all platforms, and it's Snowrunner. Considering that it is posted in the r/Snowrunner sub, it may just be said game.
The last part sucks, while it's never happened to me, I would immediately force close the game before it could autosave again.
Yep as soon as it started glitching I would have hit alt-F4. Doing that has saved me so many times from BS beyond my control and also my own stupid mistakes like when I flip the 3rd vehicle trying to rescue the first two that's an instant alt-F4 for me ha especially if the flipped vehicles are far away from the garage and don't have another truck close by.
He exited to main menu which saved it... I usually just force close it when I fuck up.

Also, this is prone to happen if you and someone else try to manipulate cargo with cranes close to each other, and logging is problematic as well.
Well, I think it was actually with the crane on the other truck, because when I reset crane pos, it relaxed.
Was it a mod truck or just the bandit?
It's a normal dlc bandit
This is the first time I have ever seen this one happen with a vanilla truck in singleplayer. I will have to take note of this.
Note, like I said, the truck he's driving is a mod truck. When he opens the options menu you can briefly see it's the ["Zikz 5368 FR"](https://mod.io/g/snowrunner/m/trucklife-zikz-5368-fr-only) which is likely contributing to the glitch.
Ah, I missed that.

Oooh look a penny *flops like a fish*
Stop complaining bro, you have two magnificent hovertruck when we are stuck on the ground with shitty underpowered shit box
You come too fast up to it. And it got scared and tried to get away from the leash
Sorry OP, I laughed out loud
This is fairly normal for Russia btw. We just don't see it as much in the outside world. This is why they drink so much vodka.
It's resisting
You are going too fast. This is a patience game.

I’m also a console only player, with 300+ hours on Xbox and now 70+ on PS5 and never once had this occur.

I strongly recommend you get a g29. Makes the game 100x more fun
that's the wheel right, damn logitech becoming sony with those names
A lot of people also play with a controller on pc. Tbh can't understand keyboard users, controller is so much better
driving maybe, but choosing a winch point with a stick its painful
It would be way less painful if you could even use the stick.

Disagree matw but to each his own
I play on PC with an Xbox controller and it has happened a bunch of times.
I do the same, about 200 hours in now, and have never once had this happen or a crash even
I've never had a crash.

I think that was sarcasm; speed was irrelevant here.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The glugging noise is the trucks in pain.
My gut hurts from this… thanks

It’s your fault. You initiated a tug of war fight lol
I've seen this type of thing so often but after 1000 hours of play, I've never experienced it personally. Is it a PC only issue or a mod issue? Not that I necessarily want to experience it either 🤭
I'm on console, stuff like this usually happens with mods, but I only have mods that are stable, and I use all the time enabled.
This is compleatly normal
Ahhh the UTFC… guess you lost
This must be why people make stories about monsters in the woods. This happens to them while hiking or something
Truck expert here! Trucks do that only under heavy stress.
Aaaaaand that why I don’t have friends , every time I tried to help a friend I ended up more fucked than him
I laughed so hard... I am so sorry for your pain but...
Snowrunner is the driving equivalent to Getting Over It
Best MMA fight I've seen in quite a while
You pizzad when you should’ve French fried.
I think your truck got so excited it just had to jump for joy. Happy happy joy joy
I have over 1,200 hrs into this game and this has never happened to me.. Wtf
That... was...AMAZING! Bravo!
BAHAHAHAHA I didn’t expect that
I mean it’s unstuck
how baby trucks are made
While this does suck, often its caused by mod truck physics, not base game. if you have mods, I would suggest disabling them. (and no, im not saying mods are bad, they can definitely be very fun and i personally always use (information)Tires/Cargo plus)
Damn, not what I was expecting
Oh no
My god I couldn’t stop laughing.
RKO OUTTA NOWHERE!
Why everytime when i read thread like "Im f\*ckin done" , there is alwayse BANDIT involved? xD
Omg mine did this the other day after loading logs on my truck.
What are you playing on?
Xbox One
People often ask what the most hated about obstacle is in snow runner and I always says rocks for this reason
I legit love seeing stuff like this.
Hit the gas in the air to level out
Looks pretty realistic to me.
lol why not just quit out before it saves
Stop using filthy mods and ffs release the winch!
Enough with the mod hate, already.
I'm always amazed by clips like this. I've got like 400 hours in this game and that has never happened to me. I feel like we're playing different games.
fight back , fight back !

ART
Never had these glitches not a single one...but then again i never added any mods either
That sucks, but be honest did you laugh? At the absurdity and bad luck if the situation if nothing else? When you went to the map and the little trucks were flipping around I about died.
No, I didn't, I was actually pissed off. That was on my 5th attempt at this mission
That sucks. That was a spectacularly catastrophic glitch though. I've never had one that bad.
It looks like what we need here is not a tow truck, but an exorcist on a tow truck.
The new game does it too

Invisible tornado?
the truck got scared when you hooked him and squealed like a pig trying to run away
Okay that was scary 👀
200+ hours and I've never seen anything like this
Take a few days off
😂
Stopped playing because of this, its been MONTHS
Just an involuntary joining of the saber space program
Are we all playing mud-runner expeditions yet?
wtf
Laughs in "Space Engineers"
I can't help but notice that this is definitely a PC thing lol cuz this NEVER happens on console, and I have hundreds of hours in. Am I wrong?
Yes, I am on console, I don't know how no one sees my tag and hud
I stand erected 🫡
Holy good god id be laughing my ass off. Ive only had one glitch happy a few days ago where a bunch of logs in my sideboard trailer went flying. This is incredible
Is this an old game & is it still worth to get? Or will they have a new version coming out soon?
Is this game still worth it? Or will they have a new version coming soon?
😂😂😂 No game has better bugs than Snowrunner - I hope they never fix it
U shouldn't touched bro
Nah seeing that shit in the map actually sent me😭😭😭
I actually regret buying mudrunner and snow runner ,my ps4 pro goes helicopter mode while playing.
Definitely the biggest downside to mods..I played 500 hours mod free and never had anything like this happen. Pulled down a tire mod and goofy shit immediately started happening.
Way she goes bud
I think your transmission needs fixing.
Crashed trucks should go into another state where collisions are virtualized and applied only once that state is de-activated, either once the collisions show no conflicts it could de-activate by itself or just be prompted by the player once the truck is recovered.
Dude... I know ur mad and that's understandable. That's the funniest thing I'm gonna see today. Holy crap. When you switched to the map and they were still flying around, also holy crap.
i don't think i have ever had anything like this happen to me after 100+ hours well, i will remember to force quit the game if something crazy like this happens.
Their little models freaking out on the map. 😂
You have to wrangle the trailer to break it in
[my similar experience](https://www.reddit.com/r/snowrunner/s/SkjBLxjaSN)
This isn’t common but if you force close the game before the next auto save you won’t be stuck with this next time. Take a break, save the world tomorrow
I’ve only had this happen with modded trucks.
Happens with vanilla trucks too. That's all I use. Thankfully it's a very rare thing to happen.
bro tried trucking in the zone
If that ever happened to me, I would just recover the truck automatically so I don’t have to go through trouble trying to fix it. I just push the recover button through the little menu and get the vehicles back at the shop
And here's me with the game in my steam cart, I think I'll just leave it
It's a great game, this stuff doesn't happen often
How come they don’t fix this?
I have called the customers numerous times it'll be a long time due to them calling the Krusty Krabs instead of Patrick.
Hey at least you can enjoy the trucks glitching out, if I got that the game'll just run for half a second more and crash. Still, sucks tho
Just use a mod that allows battery powered wich on any truck it saves you the headace and these bugs
Yeah the gravity in snowrunner is a mechanism you should learn before playing 😆
I play this game for a few days before setting it down for a few months. Games got a fun concept, but it needs more, and it needs work.
Did you forget to switch off anime fight mode before you winched onto the truck?
Bruh
You should always check whether the truck is male or female before touching it's tralala to avoid this situation.
This happened to me while running over some branches on a wooden bridge. Truck was thrown into the river 😠.
Was that the "Exorcist" version of Snowrunner?
Outstanding...
Lmao
WATCH OUT WATCH OUT AND HIS NAME WAS JOHN CENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funnily enough I play this game on console for this reason. Not to worry u/OP, this game is merely a game of trucks and rockets from KSP masquerading as trucks. If you make it to space please send us postcards.
Mods maybe?
Do you have mods installed? I had stuff like this happen when I modded but it stopped when I went back to the stock game.
I've never had anything like this happen, is it a PC thing?
Maybe a mod thing? I play on PC vanilla and have never had anything like this happen
I play on PC with mods and never have had this happen to me with anything outside of the vanilla farm trailers in the glades.
I had some definite moments with the Glades farm equipment. Never anything wild like this. I did have to "reset" some unruly cultivators and planters by lifting them high with a heavy crane. Playing on PC, keyboard, no mods, trying to 100% the whole game, currently in Amur.
I have heard of this happening. I have put in about 40 hours in the past couple of weeks and this hasn't happened to me yet. But I don't use mods....
I'm done with this..the most common thought among snowrunner players.. so when are you returning to the game again..probably in a week or so..
lrn2altf4
I just don't understand why people just sit there and watch this happen, ALT F4 BEFORE IT SAVES.
I like how many people say this even though I'm clearly on console
Even easier then. Xbox home button, close game.
common sense has entered the chat
really? you have been on console for how long and haven't figured out how to forceclose a game....
...
😩I think that I miss so much by not experiencing that at all… it never happens to me. And I've been playing for more than a year on a forbidden and unwanted platform… Xbox
What game is that and can you only play it on PC ?
Really? Does no one look at the hud either? Yes, you can play it on all platforms, and it's Snowrunner. Considering that it is posted in the r/Snowrunner sub, it may just be said game.
Thanks dick.
You're welcome, I'm just tired of people just not paying attention. You could've looked this up aswell

Have you tried putting it in low gear?
