Version 7.00 beta 4
Windows 11
DLC: All.

There is a bug where ships i pilot go through the highway if from under or over at any speed.
This has happened since the start of x4 and its never consistent however keeps happening randomly.
It never happens from the sides of the highway.
I have had 3 completely different computers since then and it happens on all of them.

I cant provide screenshots cause it wouldn't explain anything.

And a save wouldn't help either since it isn't consistent.

However its kind of annoying and I hope it gets fixed

It's likely a collision detection problem where the highway collision boundary is reached between displayed frames where fps is temporarily not high (hence inconsistencies) - especially evident when going through vertically from above or below because the highway is a ribbon with length and width but little depth. It used to happen with jumpgates and very fast ships just passing through the event horizon and not jumping. All I would suggest is to do anything that might improve your in-game fps at such times such as reducing background activity on your PC, having latest WHQL drivers, and checking or testing other in-game/graphics settings, etc.

I have about a stable 70 fps.

It remends me of the issue where we would go throguh the surface of stations which was fixed with a graphic engine update.
Im not sure i can do anything from my side of it other than hoping for a fix, my guess is its on the to do list however i thought id mention it.
