Bugs in VU7.3 (and previous)

Planet Specific Discussions Planet Calypso

Okay, sorry MindArk

With such a big VU there are bound to be a few bugs

In fact, there are - how about a thread to state them?

I don’t mean this as a whining thread, simply a pooling of information

We know Marco comes to EF regularly, and it’d be handy if he could see all bugs in one place (better than support cases here there and everywhere…)

I’m sure lots of people will be posting supports anyway, but just a thought to make it easier on poor Marco and Co. (and maybe they’ll get sorted quicker if they have a nice list - without people bitching about them)

Firstly: Can you PLEASE change “Last Offers” BACK to “Latest Offers” in the Auction? I am English, and this makes far more sense. As you can see, others have posted on this too. Thanks
Reported to have been reverted back. Thank you MindArk

VU7.3

PED Card bug. When adding peds/pecs to your card, in the inventory window your total disappears. This also happens when you enter the Auction
Fixed

Amethera Auctioneers disappeared (kidnapped?)
Space Station Auctioneers disappeared

Cannot place items in apartment hallways any more

Apartment block hallway (Genesis Star A) appears to have gained a concrete slab

While Disco dancing, head turns completely around (painful)
Fixed

It’s great that you’ve implemented “breast jiggling”, but should they really jiggle while wearing armour too? Isn’t armour supposed to be solid? (I don’t know as you should bother to fix this though :wink: )

Errors connecting to Soc Chat, although multiple relogs appear to fix this
Fixed

Also, first person added to a team appears not to see Team Chat
Fixed

Aliens missing from the Space Station (eloped with the Auctioneers maybe?)
Update: Aliens returned, although in smaller numbers
Fixed

Ripper Snappers on (and sometimes partially in) dry land NW just outside Sakura City. Note: These behave like Chirpy/GibNib/Turp/Fugabarba in that they flee on approach

Most mobs missing from all areas across Eudoria and Amethera
Remedied

Often cannot dbl-click sky to run
Update: Caused by option not being prevalent after restarts

Often cannot select ‘follow’ unless right beside the avatar you wish to follow
Fixed

In Tailoring/Armor crafting there are TestBPRemoved, and TempAdjusted, Temp12Adjusted, Test12345Adjusted Guardian blueprints

Mentoring Award bug - Award not received

Some avatars have the skill “???”

If you have a Utility open (such as TT, Repair, Storage), and use a TP chip, you can crash the server regularly

Lower level FAPs appear to do more heal per click. Is this a bug, or a feature?
Not bug. Step-heal removed. More random between min and max now

Teleporter at South Amethera not working (4538 / 3369)
Fixed

Skill chips appear as GSI when info viewed

If you hide the chat window, then hide/show the HUD (Press V twice), chat appears out of place

Undead mobs across all of Calypso

Pre-VU7.3

Clothing still buggy. Ulti wears Dark Divinity Dominion (?) skirt, and it is still ripped and torn - while standing, sitting, lying, walking and running

Televators are still buggy in apartment blocks

Teeth still missing on many avatars (seems to by mainly female avatars)

–

You still post the min spec requirements as 1GB CPU, 512MB RAM
Do you actually have any plans to optimise avatar loading?
Will you be working on a more efficient method of freeing memory after an avatar moves 2 servers away, so we don’t all end up with a 2GB+ pagefile?

Otherwise maybe you could up the system requirement…

I run WXPSP2 with 512MB of RAM. After Windows loads that leaves me with less than 256MB free. This is not practical for PE as it currently runs.

Maybe as you add them here, I could incorporate them into this first post, so it’s a nice neat list?

It does indeed seem as tho we have watchers… Aint it helpful when you report without whining? Far more gets done :smiley:

Let’s hope that they continue with the bugfixes (I’m sure they will)

VU7.3

There seems to be an extreme shortage of mobs :confused:

also

Sometimes when dbl-lft-clicking the sky you don’t Auto-Run.. also when this happens, you cannot select, for instance, your hunting partner and ‘Follow’

[/QUOTE]

good list going… I did catch a few of them myself… fingers crossed than we get an auctioneer back on Gen Star :confused:
The skirt though has always been torn… I’ve had mine for a couple of yrs… but I must say, I rather like the torn, ravaged look :wink: hehe

4

Yeah, but you didnt add any…!

I’m just waiting for the shops to open in the apartment buildings :smiley:

5

in tailoring lvl1 there’s 2 new places for bp’s that’s called “testbpremoved”

and in armor crafting lvl1 there’s 3 new places for bp’s called:
TEMP12Adjusted Guardian arm-guards blueprint
TEMPAdjusted Guardian arm-guards blueprint
test12345Adjusted Guardian arm-guards blueprint

not realy bugs but not supposed to be there

wonders if we can start crafting adjusted stuff soon

I think the point being made refers to this from part 2 of the vu list:

Visual enhancements
Several areas in Project Entropia, ranging from clothes, avatars, items and nature have been reviewed and updated from a visual standpoint, in order to remove oddities, like holes in clothes etc.

I can’t honestly say I’ve noticed anything new except blinking eyes (which is nice), jiggling jugs and my odd left leg. I still have holes in my clothes and no teeth :frowning:

when you enter the auction interface your amount of credit disappears.

Not a bug, but…“Latest offers” being changed to “Last offers” is confusing and bad use of English - there was nothing wrong with it before.

  • There is a bug with mentoring award. (VU 7.3)
  • A skill named “???” appear on some avatars. I am sure it will have another name then “???”.
  • Windows 98/ME users can’t log in and get an error message. If those OS is not supported, it would be better if MA could post a message when they try to log in from a CL installed on machine with old 16-bits OS.

/Kjetil :cool:

I believe the ??? is the ‘industrilist’ skill that some people have recently unlocked?

The damn bad english “Last Offers” very confusing MA :laugh: change it back to Latest! :tongue2:

heres my list :mad:

    • Server crash - If you have TT, repair, storage or box open and you power up and TP away with a TP chip you can crash the server you are on 1 in 3 tries or so.
    • Mob spawns - ‘mis-located’ ie. they seem intact and correct but have moved. ie. into the ocean, into rivers/lakes or on mountains. So they drown and/or are lost :laugh:
    • Team Chat - Whoever creates a team can see some team chat, but not the first person added by team leader.
    • First Aid - Not sure if this is a bad thing, but many low lvl FA ppl i know can now heal much better intervals all round! :smiley:

Theres a ton more, but i will update as i remember them :slight_smile:

[/QUOTE]

I don’t think it is industrialist. Industrialist skill has an image of “Bob The Builder” or something like that and get unlocked when your crafting skill is high enough.

ah ok…then is it the red target type one? i think someone who unlocked it had the synch updated somehow and now they have a name for it instead of the ??? cant remember who it was though :confused:

The apartment building where I live is structural improved, in such a way that a concrete slab is inside the hallway.

(Maybe MA did that because people in that apartment building are stuffing their apartment with heavy stuff) :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree

It IS in the system requirements though, that it needs W2k or Wxp

It doesnt take a half dozen lines of jscript added to the CL to add another line that checks for OS compatibility

What MA really needs is to publish a set of Docs (like every other game in the world…)

It doesnt need to be large, just a 5 or 10 page .pdf or .chm would do, with the requirements right there on the front

Do you mean the reload is quicker? :confused:

15

i think kalashi is refering to the amount of heal rather than speed :dunno:

yes sorry, higher heals at each interval.

17

Not sure if the Fap Increase is because of VU7.3.
Someone told me I healed them for 35 when i was using a Fap 10 with my highest being 16. I had noticed that i healed myself for 38 once also.
All this before the update.

Teleport not working

I went to the southern island of Amethera and the teleport isn’t working.
Your way back will take you some 20 minutes (if you don’t have teleport chips.)
The coordinates of that teleport are
Amethera (4538 3369)

19

This is turning into a grerat list folks - and not one whine! :eek:

Damn we’re all adult here :smiley:

One thing that would be nice, is if you could also report if and when each of these bugs disappears. Obviously MA will be working on them

For instance, it seems (to me anyway) that the SocChat bug has been fixed
Can I have some verification from you guys?

2 bugs:

most if not all chips in auction with skills on it and when u rightklick on them to gain info, the picture of the implant is (as far as i saw them) all the generic picture

if u put the chat button totally down, then u press twice the V button (dissappear and appear hud) u will have chat all over ur typing box
