Teleporter disappearing from room?

[debbi801]

Has anyone run into this? Part of my quest is a maze room filled with coffin teleporters. Someone told me that one of the teleporters was missing. I went into the maze room and there was a very obvious hole. I checkec my inventory thinking maybe I accidentally took it away. Nope. I tried clicking there and saw the purple ring, so it recognized that there was supposed to be a teleporter there.

When anyone goes through the matching teleporter, the "missing" one shows up long enough for the person to exit it. But it then disappears again. No one can go through it.

I am hoping when VMK opens today, the problem will have fixed itself. But if it happens again, does anyone know anything I can do to make it reappear?

Thanks.

If it is located on the edge of teh screen try moving it to a different location. sometimes things disappear near the edges of rooms

This disappearing teleporter phenomenon has been occuring for a long time. I saw it happen again recently in a staff "pick a teleporter" game that had a lot of coffins in it. Sometimes when a room has a LOT of teleporters in it, and there are a LOT of people choosing quickly, a teleporter will do the disappearing trick. It is still there, but you can't see it until somebody who CAN see it clicks it, or somebody is coming through from the other direction.

In the case of the host game I mentioned above, I've learned that the disappearing teleporter is more than likely going to be a winning teleporter. As people learn which teleporter wins, more and more people use it, which might lead that teleporter to act up. You can sometimes enter an invisible teleporter if you click it quickly right after somebody enters or comes out of it.

It's a phenomenon that reminds me of the bug where we can't pick up, move, or take away an item in a room where we've been doing extensive remodeling. Maybe the system gets a bit overloaded? Only fix is to leave the room and come back in a bit.

nope, it was pretty much in the middle of the room.

Thanks, it wasn't the winning teleporter, but I'm guessing a lot of people were trying to use it. It is back today. I am glad to know this is a known issue.

I remember having that same problem during a staff event/maze...you had to go through a teleporter, but I couldn't see it!
