Can we please - please - fix the issue with falling through the floor?

Honestly, this one is so immersion breaking and frankly basic that I can't believe its still ongoing.

Seems to be related to when the camera goes away from the first person view and then comes back for a reasonable amount of time, on objects far away from the player but in sector. All you have to do after that is move and dowwwnnnn you goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

As I understand it, there's not a single cause for this issue. Hence why, it isn't that easy to reproduce and fix it. Update 2.5 just included a fix for one of the causes, but apparently there are more.

If you have a reliable way of reproducing this issue, then please post instructions and provide a savegame.

The issue is that update 2.50 may have caused regression by adding a new cause. This cause has been fixed but the fix only happened after 2.50 went live so is scheduled for the next update.

See link below for report...

In 2.50 the most common cause for the player character falling through floors is changing camera targets, especially to distant objects. This should be fixed with the next patch. There is currently no ETA on when the next patch is coming or how extensive it will be.

My saves are heavily modified, so I doubt they would load. I doubt however the mods are in any way related to the issue. I'd say its around when it cuts the surroundings by the object the player is currently in becoming out of view, and then having to re-render them. But it sounds like we might have a solution upcoming?
