Release 176 - Report issues here

[ozarka30]

I got killed by a toxic spitter, and now I keep dying as soon as I leave the sanctum. I think the poison status is persisting

[Heureka]

Some typo.

[Combyte]

This lies true, i can vouch on this as me and a friend have the same experience…

[Xaldafax]

I mentioned on previous releases about a bug of items in the radial wheel disappearing and it seeming to be linked to a portal. I have confirmed that it happens all the time now whether I am near or portal or not.

Also it only seems to happen on my left hand which is my primary.

Just so you can update the bug notes.

[Heureka]

It happen only to my right, witch is mine primary.

@Dulki

and just updated my Ge force and graphics drive + an extra restart but didnt help: (i didn’t have any problems yesterday)

@Councillor

So you have a Nvidia Graphics card, correct?

Then the integrated graphics issue isn’t relevant in this situation.

@Dulki

no ide im not good at pc stuff all I know is that I didn’t have the problem yesterday

There are a number of ways you can find out what graphics card is inside the PC. Seeing as you mentioned GeForce Experience, you can click on Settings (which is the small cog item on the top right) and it should show you the name of the graphics card under the My Rig section.

@alventra

have send you the log file and dump file, and here is a little edit:

It doesn’t matter if the friend is offline or online it still crashes

@Havok40k

Clicking the Friends tab on my beacon control in New Berlyn City instantly crashes the game, every time.

@Butter101

Every time i click on the friend i want to give permission to it crashes me idk why?

-for some reason it worked early on but now it wont

-just wondering whats causing this cause i would really desperatly want to use these permissions

@TyeBexley

Hi,

When access my beacon and choose “friends” the game crashes to desktop, no game error, just straight to desktop.

I have tried many times, no avail. Advice please?

@Betulix

The same thing happens to me

@Xaldafax

Other beacon towers are crashing the game or completely locking it up when you select friends.

@Glychi

Disconnecting every time i try to add or manage a friend in my beacon.

@Butter101

Every time i click on the friend i want to give permission to it crashes me idk why?

-for some reason it worked early on but now it wont

-just wondering whats causing this cause i would really desperatly want to use these permissions

Thanks for the reports. We’ve pushed a fix for this, so give it another go.

@Xaldafax

Beacon permissions don’t seem to work until you add and remove the friend to the permissions list. Or it had some other bug where worked 1 minute and then it didn’t. They couldn’t enter a locked door. We did everything over and it seemed to be fine. No other way to check.

Check to see if the fix makes a difference.

@Dulki

found the problem when I turn this ON it starts alot of the movement delay

What’s the difference in FPS between turning the option on and off?

@Dulki

But still have this:

We are planning to change the layout of the Sanctum at a later date, so it may look different to this.

@OmniUno

It looks like its not just stacks bugging out, I can’t move this shop stand into my inventory:

EDIT: This is stack related. Once I removed the refined gleam stack from my inventory the shop stand could move.

I think this was an extension to the bug you reported for release 172. We’ll add the extra information to the database.

@Karokendo

16:47GMT +1 Therka

I dropped 3 items on the ground as “Karokendo”

16:48 picked 3 items from the ground as “Oortian”

got info about picking 3 different items in the top right corner

1 of them is in my eq. I only picked up a copper chisel

diamond axe is gone. ( I had lot of space in eq )

gem hammer is gone

My 2nd character has starter inventory size

Very important bug

Can you just confirm that you didn’t already have existing smart stacks for axes and hammers?

@OmniUno

Some of the more serious issues reported in previous releases are still present in Release 176. Just to make sure none are missed, here’s my list:

@cor-karolis

Vulpto is full of baby creatures trying to act like big bad lvl 5’s…but nobody’s fooled.

We’re still in the process of balancing creature difficulty per world.

@Combyte

Sometimes when killing a Cuttletrunk using it’s telekinesis ability, it’s sound effect gets stuck in an infinite loop:

There’s no dead Cuttletrunk in that video, but you said it sometimes happens?

@treyvoni

Could not leave sanctum. Warp is giving me error messages.

What were you doing before this occurred? Is it still happening?

@DashEWz

EDIT: Portals had nothing to do with the bug.

Can’t place Storage Blocks

Can you check if you can place it down from the East or West direction and then try rotating it using the Chisel?

@OmniUno

Just throwing this into this thread too. I’m buying for 300 but people only get 270 - so there’s a 10% tax on request baskets at the moment. There’s also a 10% tax when I sell. I was under the impression that tax should not be live yet based on previous patch notes. Can we get confirmation of this?

It’s really hurting trade at the moment

This was implemented months ago if I’m not mistaken.

@brook-monroe

I haven’t seen a specific complaint about this objective, but Building a Beacon on a New World isn’t completing for me. I took a portal from a settlement close to PixelGate that has portals, ended up on Therka, found a place to set a beacon and did so. I fueled it to the tune of 5+ weeks, and I’m still waiting for the steps to go green so I can complete it.

Is that because the step “Travel to new world and place a Beacon” has to be something I do using a self-created portal?

We haven’t been able to reproduce this so far. Was it only occurring when you created your own portal to go to another world?

@ozarka30

I got killed by a toxic spitter, and now I keep dying as soon as I leave the sanctum. I think the poison status is persisting

@Combyte

This lies true, i can vouch on this as me and a friend have the same experience…

What level was the spitter and what world(s) was it on?

@Heureka

Some typo.

Thanks for the screenshot, a bug has been logged.

@Xaldafax

I mentioned on previous releases about a bug of items in the radial wheel disappearing and it seeming to be linked to a portal. I have confirmed that it happens all the time now whether I am near or portal or not.

Also it only seems to happen on my left hand which is my primary.

Just so you can update the bug notes.

@Heureka

It happen only to my right, witch is mine primary.

Thanks for the updates, the information has been added to the existing bug report.

Hi,

@vdragon

I think this was an extension to the bug you reported for release 172. We’ll add the extra information to the database.

Please. This is total agony - gotta move things one stack. at. a. time. And have an empty inventory the whole time. Torture…

@vdragon

We’re still in the process of balancing creature difficulty per world.

I’m not complaining about the difficulty (which would be feedback and not an issue). I’m reporting a bug. The level 3 (I tested with corrosive) hopper does its 2000 damage multiple times (as many times as you have HP) in very short (< 200ms) succession without dying on explosion as it should. When you go back the same one does this over and over. I am 99% certain that this is not intended since the other hoppers do not exert this behaviour and this leads to a situation where nobody is safe against one-shots in combat regardless of stats.

@vdragon

This was implemented months ago if I’m not mistaken.

Hmm, so what was this patch note from Release 174 meant to do then?

@olliepurkiss

Fixed bug applying the tax for plinth transactions.

[Dulki]

@vdragon the problem was my pc did a full clean win 7 install and nothing wrong with Boundless any more

Sorry, I was replying to @cor-karolis but realise I forgot to reply to your comment. That does looks like quite a difference between creature damage. I’m tagging @olliepurkiss so that he can see this.

@OmniUno

Sorry about that, someone told me it was months ago when it should have said days ago instead.

@Dulki

That’s a bit of a drastic step to take, but let us know if you get the issue again.

I didn’t. It was my new character. I had crafted some stone tools before but i’m 100% sure i dropped them to make some space in my eq.

[OmniUno]

@vdragon

Sorry about that, someone told me it was months ago when it should have said days ago instead.

So the 10% tax on buy and sell is a feature then and not a bug? Because if you search for tax there are posts from last year for it too. Just want to be clear - this affects me quite a bit and I’d like to inform people accordingly.

[Combyte]

@vdragon

There’s no dead Cuttletrunk in that video, but you said it sometimes happens?

Sorry @vdragon the body of the cuttletrunk was harvested with my slingbow before i took the video, there was indeed a cuttletrunk i had killed during the time of its attack when it attempted to toss me. And yes this happens from time to time when you kill a cuttletrunk at the time of it’s Telekinesis.

EDIT: Something i just thought up, it could have been i killed the Cuttletrunk as soon as it activated Telekinesis which may have caused it to loop with no end

@vdragon

What level was the spitter and what world(s) was it on?

This happens with any creature with the Toxic element at any level, when Poison is inflicted on the player, it remains applied even after death, resulting in death once you step through the portal… this can be prevented if the player can quickly chain heal after they step through the portal, but that is only if you have enough health to survive the DOT damage to consume a healing item, someone can easily lose all their tools to this death chain.

Also, all status effects remain on the player after death, Scared and Corrosion effects still remain until it’s full duration has passed, this does not drain when inside the sanctum of course.

[olliepurkiss]

@alventra

do you know how many points?

The way this works is that each tool and weapon has a “Difficulty” rating (found by right-clicking on the item in the inventory), and your character have a “Mastery” rating for each type of tool and weapon (seen in the Character → Profile screen, Mastery section). If your Mastery is the same as the Difficulty then the tool works at full effectiveness, if the Mastery is lower than the Difficulty then the weapon attributes degrade. Having a Mastery higher than the Difficulty has no extra effect.

The intention is that this is reflected in the attribute list on the item right click menu to show you what’s happening. I may bring that task up the list, because it is very confusing at the moment.

I am 99% certain that this is not intended since the other hoppers do not exert this behaviour and this leads to a situation where nobody is safe against one-shots in combat regardless of stats.

You’re right – that definitely sounds like a bug. Level 3 hoppers should be (at current balance) doing 2000 damage as a one off hit. If you’re seeing more than that, or repeated hits, then something is wrong. One for @dave I would say.

Unfortunately the tax has been broken for a while, and when I noticed it I fixed it quickly. This puts it back to how it was when first implemented: a tax on buying and selling transactions.

There is however more work to be done on tax: firstly there was feedback about how it is set and how it is communicated, and secondly the tax skills are currently not working as intended.

We will put some more work into this, although I’ll need to check when that work is scheduled.

@OmniUno

What posts are you referring to?

[vdragon]

@GrimmLiberty

When entering the game for the first time, or after any portal,

my character’s Left Hand(set as primary in settings) Item “goes off” by itself.

If it is not the slingbow, it will act like I am holding the mouse button down, the slingbow just shoots once.

It will stop if I actually press the left mouse button, seems like initialization state is incorrect in code.

Sounds similar to the issue experienced by @OmniUno

@OmniUno

Level 50+ XP is no longer 500 000, but 519 850

When getting a level after level 50 I got 113 029 XP extra (of which 51985 was from weekly XP bonus and 15595 from daily XP bonus).

I’ve looked into this and can confirm it’s working as intended.

[ctrl-64]

I get that bug too but items disappear from both wheels, my primary is left but my steak on the right is constantly disappearing. I also had my axe and grapple disappear from my left so it may not be limited to the primary

[Frideric]

The very first objective, spend a skill point is bugged. I had already completed it, but I had to go in and use a cleanse point and redo using a skill point for it to work

[vdragon]

We currently have this listed as a known issue.

Great! As long as it’s here to stay I’m happy and can calculate it into my market math. It sure helps to curb the inflation I was predicting and turn it into some nice deflation with the increased drops…

@olliepurkiss

What posts are you referring to?

The ones quoted below. Since there was never anything about it being removed and beacons implied that we should get a part of it I assumed that it should not be applied yet. I assume part of the tax will be distributed back to beacons in the settlement with a future increment?

@Rolco

Did you know that when you sell something in a selling plinth, Boundless government are charging a 10% tax on top of your sell price to a buyer without notifying you.

@Dzchan94

So, seeing that the tax system is 10% for the moment, I think we need decimals, to clear out the numbers, or at least, make it so at the end of a transaction, the decimals round up to the closest number.

@olliepurkiss

Tax is taken from every shop transaction as a percentage. These are the controls we have to balance the economy with the rates being tweaked to ensure that there is the right amount of currency flowing around.

@vdragon

I’ve looked into this and can confirm it’s working as intended.

I got about 50k in unexplained bonus XP after leveling up. I’ll check when I eventually get another 50+ level up and repost if it recurs.

@vdragon

Sounds similar to the issue experienced by @OmniUno

This looks like it is always smart stacks that gets unassigned when travelling through portals for me. I’m constantly having to reassign my gem hammers and alloy hammers (separate stack) to the quick slots.
