Waiting for map data...

[Dondy]

Still waiting, in the dark, halfway out of a house and been waiting for five minutes or so, not the usual five seconds. I can see my inventory, my health bar and the little letters in white informing me what I am doing, but nothing is happening. I am thoroughly stuck. I assume I had a private crash? Or is this server side? Does this happen a lot? It never happened to me before.

There is a known bug where this can happen to you under fairly specific circumstances; in my own experience, it has happened sometimes when I click to walk while the screen is still loading, so fairly easy to avoid. Should be noted that it is easily "fixed" by logging out and back in again.

I don't think I will bother debugging it, since it won't be applicable under the new rendering system.

Coming back with friends 3 years later, I've started to encounter this problem fairly often today. Mainly when I approach mountains, and that makes it a huge problem exploring them.
