Do we have fail-safes in place for when objects don't get streamed in, as the mission might break?
Elliot MaltbyLead Designer, Mission Feature Team
In some areas we do. In some areas we might withdraw the mission. If ever you see 'withdrawn', it's because something's happened in the back end that we've detected that we know we can't handle, so we just have to take it away from you. And then we would see that withdrawal on the mission on our analytics page, and we'd be able to go in and investigate as to why that happened. So we do have some things in place. There are other things you might have noticed where you're doing a delivery mission and the marker is on the ground underneath it. That marker is on the OC root of the entire location while we're waiting for the location to stream in, and everything that I need to be loaded for it to then assign you your delivery port.
