Stuck in building after reload

[mb1000l]

Since the last update, I've been having problems with characters getting stuck in buildings. The characters attempt to exit a building through a wall and disappear beneath the floor. They remain stuck and only their name is visible.

I run the game at 1920 x 1080 resolution. I'm using windows 7 and a gtx 460 video card.

Got the same problem, sometimes getting the character to the doorway and saving loading does the trick of getting them out, a large house i have built, recently bugged with 3 characters training on dummies, on a load up, all 3 drop`d to the basement so to speak and cant approach exit so the way i was working around on pre-build towns is not working on my own buildings, only way now is taking down all the builds in the building and then the building itself.

One of my guys was inside the accessible trade building in catan (don't know why the other one won't let you in, but may be a related bug). I saved and reloaded to refresh shops, as they were out of what he needed...but after reload, he couldn't fit out the door! he's stuck in there...permanently? See screenshot.

I've had this happen since the last update, but only in my own buildings. The only way I was able to get them out was to deconstruct the building from the outside.

Have you tried using Ctrl Shift F11 to rebuild the navmesh? It ought to reset the state of any doors in any buildings.

Or you can try to get another one of your character's that can enter and exit, to pick him up and carry him out of the building

I have lots of houses in my game but only 1 of them seems to cause this bug on mine. It's just a plain house (between shack and large house) with 1 level 5 research bench in it. I find issue mainly occurs when a enemy npc runs inside and starts attacking my character but not always. But if I pickup the character with another character then run outside and put the character back down that seems to always fix it except 1 time when the stuck character fell through the bottom of the map when I put him down outside the house. As for save/load that respawns and redrops all characters in the game world so that will possible sometimes fix it as well as but may also just make them go from stuck to dropping through the map as stated. Also note that 0.42.1 also seems to have a quickload bug where quickloading creatings pathing issues and characters that won't move etc. to certain places for me so if you try the quicksave and reload option I suggest you quicksave then exit the client altogether and do a FULL reload to avoid that issue.

I can confirm that alidevil's solution has always worked with this issue for me. Except once which cause the stuck character to fall through the map.

I get this issue on multiple buildings, running on 2 different resolutions, on 2 entirely different PCs. The only workaround I have found thus far is to have a not stuck PC pick up the stuck PC, walk outside the building, then Put Down. I've never had anyone fall through the map, but if that happens, there is an option to Reset Squad Positions ONLY under the Import Squad at the main menu.

One of my guys is stuck in a house, sometimes he is under the house, sometimes on the floor..either way, he will never leave the house either way I click on him. Please help. Thank you
