Very odd disappearing Grandmaster blacksmithing station

Necrotech_Master · June 6

ive noticed this still happens mainly if i have my character logged out inside of my house, but if i am in the normal zones and port to my house, it seems to load correctly

My Grandmaster Blacksmithing Station disappears mostly, with just a few bits still showing as if they are floating in midair. It can happen in any house that I own. I tried placing it in several houses to check. It doesn't matter which house it is placed in. It doesn't matter what it is placed next to, as in being closed to other animated items. It doesn't matter if it's near a wall, or in the middle of a room. It's not linked, not as a parent link nor a child link. It just always partially disappears whenever it wants to. It happens when I port out of my house and port back in. It happens when I log out of game and log back in. It happens if I just happen to walk by during a decorating session. There is no rhyme or reason to what makes it disappear, it just always does as some point. I can still use it when it is mostly invisible. I can pick it up and replace it and it is all there, at least for a while. By the way, I do NOT have EHT add-on. Just thought I'd add this post so maybe the devs will see and fix it for us.

I wanted to add my picture to the list...

it still works, but I almost had a heart attack when I saw it was missing... until I noticed it was only mostly missing...

Mine looks exactly like this when it goes poof. Thanks for sharing the photo.

Maybe if we ever got a reply from someone at ZOS that they are working on this issue, we wouldn't feel the need to keep bumping it... I mean, we haven't gotten any updates in 2 1/2 months.

BergisMacBride · June 30

Yeah it's my GM Clothing station that disappears and is invisible ~90% of the time. It's completely filled so that's not a problem. Been happening for around 3 months or so. Still works cause it has collision and I can still do my MW or craft from it.

@ZOS_Kevin, can we get an update on this? There's no addition info following your initial reply to this thread a few months back.

athena9205 · July 1

agreed. Acknowledgement of the bug and information on the issue from ZOS on any bug found would be helpful. Otherwise we feel that we are ignored or our post has been overlooked.

Likewise with me, it has become very frustrating. It's as if they just want us to just go away.

Necrotech_Master · July 2

my experience on this so far is if i logout within the house and load back in, the grandmaster smithing station will be like 90% invisible, very consistent pretty much happens all the time this way

if i logged outside of my house and then ported inside my house, it almost never glitches out when i port into the house

dosco · July 6

my blacksmithing master station has now completely vanished visually, not even the small parts are there anymore

old_scopie1945 · July 6

With the upcoming system to allow visitors to visit your house, it's not encouraging to have such a large scar on your creation for others to see.

Sachsen71 · July 8

It's now been 3 1/2 months since @zos_kevin acknowledged this bug. It would be nice to see some kind of update to make sure it didn't get forgotten. It is a daily irritation for me to see a mostly invisible crafting station every time I go to my house.

Sachsen71 · August 12

I am still having this problem. Has anyone else managed to get it fixed? It's been five months since this thread started with zero progress or updates from ZOS in months. REALLY annoying to have an invisible crafting station in my house and I have to pick it up and reset it every time to get it to appear.

@ZOS_Kevin

Lady_Rosabella · September 5

@ZOS_Kevin
Are you guys going to fix this issue? This has been reported for 5 months now and still no fix, it's gone past being annoying for a lot of us to have to continually pick the station up and reset it every time.

joergino · September 5

Just chiming in to say my Grandmaster Clothing station did exactly the same thing. It completely disappeared from view, but it could still be interacted with.

CoronHR · September 6

yeah i had opened up another thread and they closed it because there's this one, but yeah, my grandmaster blacksmith station is bugged. it's on the low-attuned level. i guess it doesn't happen to fully attuned stations, but no way on Nirn am i spending 10k vouchers to upgrade to fully

Morvan · September 8

Just happened to me.

MsOblivyous · September 8

@ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_Hadeostry

Noticed that new threads get closed. Is there an update on this?

Hi all, thanks for reporting this issue with the disappearing grandmaster blacksmith stations. We have a bug in for this and are investigating solutions.

Apologies if this is considered thread bumping; I hope it is not.

I returned to ESO fairly recently (rekindled enjoyment!) and one of the first things I did was to 'upgrade' all of my crafting stations to newer versions with a much better look and feel. This included the grand stations. After eventually adding one or two sets then noticing my Grand Blacksmithing crafting station would vanish more often than not; and then trying many fixes and ruling out add-on issues I stumbled across this thread.

Looking at the patch notes for the upcoming Update 44 I see many fixes on Housing items but none shown for this. I am also more concerned as this is a furnishing which can be purchased for Crowns. Although not game breaking it is certainly disruptive and breaks some beautiful aesthetics to have a vanished grand smithing station in play.

I've seen there is an investigation ongoing and was curious if this bug has fallen between the cracks? It's been seven months now since the bug was acknowledged. Any updates please @ZOS_Kevin ?

CoronHR · October 7

i'm curious to know if maybe a 'moderately attuned' blacksmithing station will stay visible, although i'd have to feed 27 attuned stations into mine to reach 30 for it to be moderately attuned. not sure how eager i am to do that (and it doesn't seem like the devs have this high of their list of fixes)

DinoZavr · October 7

207 days since March,14 the day this topic posted. i m speachless.

Peace_Walker · October 8

zos are you guys really "investigating solutions"? it takes more than half an year now.

im up to 22 stations in my grandmasters right now

so far i still havent really had issues with the grandmaster station if i log into a toon that isnt in my house and then i port to the house

if i load directly into the house, its still hit or miss, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt load correctly

I submitted a bug report for this many months ago and never got a response.

My GM Clothing Station has all the stations and still is invisible >95% of the time I enter or login to my house, so I don't think how full a station is or isn't has anything to do with this bug.

@ZOS_Kevin, IMO it's long past time for another update on this bug, even if it's to say they haven't found a fix yet.

(Encouraging) update!

I opened a ticket regarding this (via the web interface) on 13 November 2024. After a few exchanges, and spending a few hours in-game replicating and documenting the bug with no add-ons and other things, the ticket is still active and has now been elevated to the Advanced Team.

So far so good! I have just replied to the most recent request in the ticket. In that I also included specific entries from this thread (especially the entry by Kelinmiriel on May 10).

I am awaiting the next reply in the ticket.

I will keep you posted. However I believe it will be some time next week before I receive another reply.

Please for the love of all Daedra, be constructive and positive in any replies. Please keep any replies focused on the issue. (And if possible, sacrifice anything of value to help this progress and send sweetrolls and coffee to the support team.)

Thanks for keeping on this issue. I have been interested in getting these stations but have hesitated since I heard of this bug. Thanks also for keeping us updated here with your progress.

Thanks so much for keeping at it with your ticket.

I went back to that post you referenced to test a few things for myself.

My problem has always been with my GM Clothing station (it has all the item sets and is full). The other full stations are always visible. It's in my Coldharbour home and is invisible pretty much every time I enter the home.

Fetching and replacing the station from my inventory makes it visible while I am in the home and do not leave. If I zone out and back in it's invisible again.

Going to another home where they are all visible first and then going to my Coldharbour home - it's invisible.

So far, mine is pretty much invisible every time I enter the home. Maybe 1 out of 100 times I enter the home is it visible, but that hasn't happened for a long time it seems. I haven't found anything I can do that will force it to show up consistently.

I might try putting it on a shallow platform and see if that works <shrug>.

SaintJohnHM · November 17

We just went through all the work of putting our grand master crafting stations together, and our blacksmithing station is weirdly partially transparent.
