Getting thrown around when using the stargate
I have noticed that when I enter a stargate I tend to get thrown quite a ways off the stargate before I land, This is at most times just a nuisance but if you place the stargate near a steep fall this could cause you to be killed, I can hear some of you saying "well don't build one near a sheer drop" that is fine advice but not always practical, for example I have a base on one of the small islands and a few times I have been thrown (while seated on a beaver) into the shark infected water to be killed or seriously harmed, all because the stargate throws you instead of placing you gently (or relatively) gently on the other side. Can something be done about this.

I can reproduce this problem

This is still a problem, it appears to be because the spawn point at the destination gate is in the centre of the mesh (possibly)

No, its 2 meters in front, a bit upper ground. You still can avoid this problem, you seem to understand how to reproduce it then you know how to fix it temporaly.

Yeah can make adjustments to the placement to allow for arrival at the destination gate without dying (mostly), was just pointing out the bug so you could maybe look at it later.

Im not able to reproduce it, it seems to only happen on low fps clients, while u render the new area, game pause u (u fly and dont move) then you get pushed. Try with 2 gates separated by 5 meters, you should not get pushed cuz u dont load new area.

Low fps or slow HDD

You are probably correct, I can live with it so don't worry about it too much. I will check out fps later, probably not slow HDD as it is pretty fast normally.

I could do like minecraft does, lol. You have to stop on the the vortex and wait few seconds to get teleported :p no more problem maybe :p

Nah I wouldn't bother mate, it is such a small hassle, we can live with it.

I have low fps so i can confirm this is the issue. Solved this by putting stargates on cliffs inside of those glass domes from that aviary mod. its not a perfect plan, but it works for now XD

If im able to make the devkit work again i will try something. Lowering the tp destination, removing some fix i tried and use others.

lirly, with your low fps, do you hear a water sound when you get tp ?

I have this same issue and I almost always have over 70fps when running around the ark.

When I exit the gate the direction i'm thrown is directly related to the direction which I entered the gate and the momentum is variable depending on whether i'm on foot or riding a dino. When riding a dino I get thrown significantly farther.

This came as quite the suprise after installing my first stargate on a platform suspended above the lava of one of the volcanos on The Center. =\
