When you step out of the vehicle your towing animation gets disabled and goes back to vanilla towing,

:: Workaround is you need to disconnect the towing and tow it again. Just do not go out of the vehicle.

I played around with this extensively and couldn't get the same bug you are getting. Are you playing this in a multiplayer server? What happens to me is the tow-trucks rear suspension fades and the rear ends up on the ground. Once I get back in the tow-truck, the vehicle raises back up and acts normal again.

Yes, I am playing on a multiplayer instance. sorry for not mentioning it my bad.

it only happens when stepping out of the car. We don't see any error from the errormagnifier or in console logs so we are not sure what is happening lol.


:: My friend told me the Tow Height Menu can also be used to re-tow the car when it bugged after you step out the car, but it snaps the towing car to the towed car violently.

I had the same bug as Space Donuts on a multiplayer server and probably still do. Today there is a new bug that makes car to car towing not accessible.

if you go to the trailer you wish to tow and hold 'v' the tow option seems to show up. but yeah it doesnt show when you are in the tow truck or when facing any towing vehicle

Just tested the tow truck and it seems that when you lift a car from inside the cab, it works correctly. When using towtruck features while outside, it is buggy.

It broke the towing between normal cars, not with trailers/tow truck.

This should be addressed in the latest hotfix, sorry for the inconvenience.
