[Closed] Current bugs

[AmonGwareth]

Hey folks, which of the really old bugs in this section of the forums still exists? Particularly those posted in 2008 and early 2009 is what I'm wondering about.

[Teto Frum]

I know its been talked about here but I couldn't find it on the search so I'll mention it again instead of bumping it. Two bugs that frustrate me the most are cog effects sticking on a tool after removal, and that some tools have to be in your vault to change cogs instead of inventory.

[Xanthia]

Well....you did ask for it:

Non deconnable items. Granted it a little later in 2009 but I still wanna point it out for the record- it still here and it still annoying. Fangs of Fury
It broke, it got fixed, it broke again (and still broken). Same problem cept this post satisfies the 2008 requirement while the others don't. So in the list it goes!

Problems with music

Please provide a location for where this is happening, as I've looked at the music in game where I thought this thread was talking about and it worked for me many times.

(Note links deleted to the multiple topics on this one issue that were linked.

Issue with Gold Rage "sticking"
Still does it.

Portal on Drakul Issue
The magical portal that leads...... nowhere. Heh

Issue with Biped/dragon equipment window
Well it is in the bug section right. It still around. And it from 2008 so there you go.

The dragon/biped equipment window issue has only ever come up for those who do not use the loading screen. Not using the load screen is not a supported modification of the game client files. If you experience that WITH the load screen, then I'll agree it is something that needs to be fixed. However, at the time it was reported, it was solidly established that it only happened to those who modified the game's client by setting the load screen to false.

I still experience mobs disappearing in the deadlands after I kill them, but before I can loot them. Unsure if they 'fall through' the map or just de-rez. I have experienced this nearly every time I've hunted in the deadlands, and just last night had two skeletons 'poof' when I killed them in the Western Deadlands.

Here are relavent threads I could find, one from 2008, another from 2006.

Also in regard to the post above mine, I still sometimes get the Biped equipment window issue (as a dragon player) and I have NEVER played with the loading screen 'off'.

I hope that no one, Xanthia especially, is not offended that I formatted her post. And we should have thought to give more guidance when starting this thread on how it will be best to format posts to make it easier on everyone.

It is great to find the "old threads" and link them, but it would be helpful to everyone on the team is rather than just adding the link, you include information on what the issue is. For anyone who is not sure how to format the text in a post so that the links appear as they do now in Xanthia's post, here is the format:

[URL=" (Then insert the link here without and spaces after/before the quote) "]Brief Description [/url ] (again, without the space after the bracket).

Please note that I responded specifically to a couple of things posted here already, but not everything. If I didn't comment on something it doesn't mean I'm ignoring it.. just that I'm late for "Castle" already and trying to wrap this up quick cause my DvR is broken.

[Xanthia]

Nope not offended at all. But some of the links are either missing now or broken.....ironic

Here you go again:
Can't Deconstuct Blighted Items (if you really need a description about what this is about- essentially some blighted armor/scale/weapons cannot be decon because the option is missing.
Fangs of Fury (again,the +95% on the crystal is wrong/incorrect/not right/a mistake etc. etc. etc. It should be -5%. Simple as that. )

Female Satyr Model is Broken (Short version: the low resolution model of the female satyr does not load properly. Therefore OTHER players looking at it from a distance or with graphics set to absolute minimum see a satyr with missing body parts. Generally the only thing that is seen is a floating head. This only occurs to the FEMALE model)

Please provide a location for where this is happening, as I've looked at the music in game where I thought this thread was talking about and it worked for me many times.

As for the music disappearing it is ALL areas with the lava ashy environment effect. This includes areas such as (but not limited to):
Dralk(and all that lava land surrounding it)
Island of Fire
and whatever random lava, vulcanic area that comes to mind insert here.

You might get music the first time upon entering the area. However once you leave the area the music disappears until you relog.

If you need an example, port to Dralk from another location. Then fly/run outside the city to somewhere else, like Usak for example. Music should stop completely by now. (note music will stop but soundeffects still play) Run back to Dralk and the music will probably still be missing. Then randomly port to different cities where you know music should play (like kion or sslanis. whatever). It probably won't.

[Fyrethorne]

Balit's quest line is still bugged. The kill counter won't update, so I can't complete it. {

I agree with Xanthia, the music has been bugged for ages, and everyone who plays knows that. Fly over any lava area, including the Kion volcano and you lose your music until you relog. Ghorlakhan has formulated a fix for this which works, and is detailed in the thread he wrote about it on this forum. However it would be nice to see this officially fixed.

The Bard's tail scale has been bugged for a long time, and it's not nice for dragon casters. "Here, have a cool scale, but sorry, it doesn't work."

There is another bug where all the landscape disappears when you load. You can fix this by recalling, but it's a pain in the backside. I have only noticed this bug since the new content DD patch. However others have told me that they have seen this bug before that patch, so am not sure.

The cursor sometimes get stuck in the wrong form when opening windows. eg. inventory window. May get stuck as the little white hand, or resize cursor. Not sure what causes that. It does fix itself after some time however, and is still useable, so can live with it. Just annoying is all.


These are the ones that I can think of atm that bother me the most.

Balit's quest line is still bugged. The kill counter won't update, so I can't complete it.

My apologies... This was actually fixed with one of the first deltas in this set of patches, but I must not have put it in the patch notes.

I'll add a note to this next set of delta notes, but the quest does work properly on Blight now. Not sure as of exactly which delta, though, because at this point they're all starting to blend together to me.

[AmonGwareth]

I do wish to point out that any bugs associated with loading (when you have your loading screen disabled) are not valid. Playing the game with the loading screen turned off is not supported.

[walkerglassmire]

A very annoying one that a LOT of folk seem to keep having is porting into the Doom, and not actually getting there. Entrance loads around you, except yourself and the actual landing pad. The green rune ring is there. Only fix is to recall and try again. Normally works the second time. Interestingly though, when I was having the problem, when I would recall, I would load, and the rest of the world would not for about 30 to 45 sec. Kinda surreal. heh

Along the same-ish lines... Ever since the Vista fix, my porting/log in times have gone up DRAMATICALLY (Am using XP). Like in the "I can get up and go to the fridge for a drink and meander back and not be finished porting" increased times. I've also had a pretty dramatic increase in general laggyness. I've heard tell this is generally being caused by the World Cashe being flushed EVERY time you log out, no matter what settings you have. I haven't done any significant testing, as I'm not sure the best way to go about testing this problem, but it'd be nice if something could be done. I've heard this same complaint from a LOT of XP users. And, before you ask, I'm using the loading screen, have never turned the loading screen off, and honestly, not even sure how, though I'm sure I could figger it out if I wanted to.

Oh, so the quest works on blight, but not on the live servers atm? Did I understand that correctly? In which case, it should be fixed on the live servers with the next patch?

1)
When completing a trade while having structure containers open the items get messed up. It happens as soon as the trade window closes.

2)
When you open a pouch in a structure container for the second time after having it closed the first time it shows up blank, giving the suggestion there are no items in it.

Quest: The Head of Urden the Traitor
The head is not removed from inventory after the quest is completed.
Is this normal?

Quest: Gerix’s Quest: Visit the Cities of Dragonkind
Typing error in the quest screen, Chiconis is referred to as Chiconins
“Visit the City of Chiconins in the Granitefall Mountains�
Also after finishing the quest you get the message.
“You have located the great city of Chiconins, home of the Followers of Helian.�

The story that Gerix tells you before sending you on your way is correct and mentions Chiconis like it should.

Description for Cobalt Bar is not correct.
The description states that Cobalt Ore and Steel Bars are required for the Cobalt Bar production.
The other regular bars are correct, not sure about blighted bars at this moment since I don't have that formula scribed.

Quest: Priscilla the Shoulder Parrot
Speaking to Archbishop Thomas Agua in the Clerics Tower results in getting a /tell instead of a separate window that is opened. While all other conversations with various NPC’s are done in separate chat windows

Not sure if these are bugs....
1) I've been trying to do "The Battlefields:Identifying the Leader" where I'm supposed to loot badges from the risen adepts. However, after killing dozens of them, I have had yet to see a single badge. Are the loot drops supposed to be that scarce?

2) In "Plundered Tombs:The Tomb of Crankenspank" I killed Crankenspank as required and that line of the quest is marked as done, but there is no advancement to another line and the quest is still open. I get no acknowledgement of my deed from the npc who gave me the quest, either. Even if the mini-dungeons are not done, shouldn't this part of the series at least close?

Overall the tier II revamp stuff has been a tremendous blast, thanks so much for all the new content!!! :-)

Dalimond Trophy Hunter list for Level 20-24 lists Forest Skulk Arrowheads (No such thing) but correctly expects to receive Forest Skulk Crude Slate Arrowheads. This on Order Shard today and taken as fresh quest.

Happened to me as well.

Some other bugs I found (Order Shard):

1) The scholar in South March that you bring the diseased wolf hearts too uses the word "hearty" instead of "heard" (I believe. I'm working from memory) in his opening dialog during his part of the quest.

2) The dragon at the archeologists camp (Khalatorin) says: "It seems long ago dragons made this palce their home." Obviously this needs to be place.

3) After killing some giant sand beetles north of Lower Bridgeview I noticed they were dropping tremendous sand beetle loot (trophies and mandibles).

4) When you speak with Aelia for the "Avenge the Slain Druid" quest, you get a tell from Grosok with the specifics. The quest is still doable but it's odd to run across.

That's all I can remember for now.

In Rastiphan there are, not sure how to describe it, pieces of grass graphics covering the dark area. Depending on the angle you see it or not. Can pass through it without any problem.
BTW is there a map correction in the works? Gets really confusing now with all the changes.

I'm sorry, somehow the part of the quest that gives you the rank badges you need as you kill the adepts was not set up properly. This will have to be fixed with the next patch.

Hello, I have seen that the Shadow Dragon is now immune from the Lunus philactery. Without the use of this item, the fight is very long. It seems that the Shadow Dragon is immunized since the last patch.

I've posted this message a few days ago, but maybe the Shadow Dragon's immunity is intended, as for Lem the cold?
I'm on Order
