Release 180 - Report issues here

[Vizenre]

I get this bug

[vdragon]

@boundmore

yes, that’s correct

We should have a fix for this in the next update.

@Heureka

Yes, it same in windowed, and i have Interface scale set to normal.

Okay, so it seems that it can be an issue with the Interface Scale. Is there an improvement when you set the option to Small?

@Kirinvar

I just experienced the -XP thing as well:

I logged in and got instantly 7200 XP from crafting over night.

Then some minutes later after getting 50 xp from crafting stones the daily xp bonus feat popped onscreen and took the whole 7200 XP away.

I checked before and after the daily xp bonus feat in the character screen. And yes, the xp are gone for good. Nothing brought them back, not even a restart of the game.

Really frustrating.

As a temporary safety measure could you please just clamp xp values that they are always positive?

So thats these bugs can’t do any more harm?

We’re trying to find out why some players are getting negative XP, so there’s probably a bit more to this problem.

@Swede

First, I noticed some graphical error with the HUD, I´m not sure if it´s just me or if it happens to everyone. But I get this everytime I start the game. After mouse over the error disappears. Please se image below. The part to the left is when I have started the game and press Esc, the middle one is after I move the mouse over the buttons and the part to the right is the difference shown in red.

Thanks for the screenshot, we have logged this into the database.

@Swede

Secondly I sometimes fall when I move stuff while hanging from a grapple. I´m not sure if this is supposed to work like this or not. The grapple will release if I move blocks from the same hand as the grapple, but not if I move the same blocks from the inventory. Please see image below. Red arrow indicates an action whitch will release the grapple, but green arrow will not. I feel that maybe it should not matter if I move the blocks from the hand with the grapple or from the inventory.

If you assign an item to one of the radials, then that item will be equipped by default. The issue with the grapple being released if you click on the item in the same radial display should not happen, so we’ve logged a bug.

@boundmore

suddenly my daily xp feat stopped tracking xp earned (got stuck on 808)

the icon shows xp progress properly (I mined almost 300 blocks of soil after I checked I’m on 808, so I should be at some 2000 xp)

Are you still earning XP in the normal way separate to the Daily Experience Bonus? I looked into this and it seems that if the mouse pointer was positioned over another Feat (Daily Activity Bonus below it for example) and then back to the Daily Experience Bonus, the total would be updated. Can you check that this is the case?

If so, this may indicated that the information is not being updated correctly without additional actions.

@endymion

sorry for the late reply. The alt owns the beacon, which isn’t shared with anyone else. The compactor was built inside the beacon. The compact iron ore was inserted and added to the building queue behind compact soft coal. The orders were 2 x 1 item output so no bulk or mass. I know nothing more on this because the scenario is so … basic. You’d expect it to work in this simple setup.

We’ve not been able to reproduce this so far. Are you able to share a video showing the issue in action? Perhaps there may be something about the way it’s been set up that should show what’s wrong.

@Vizenre

I get this bug

Thanks for the video, we’ll log a bug. Did this issue start occurring after you have completed this Feat?

[Vizenre]

yes and it kept going until I restarted the game

[Heureka]

@vdragon

Okay, so it seems that it can be an issue with the Interface Scale. Is there an improvement when you set the option to Small?

Yes.

[endymion]

I decided to re-install the game to check this out for you @vdragon and I was logging in on my main character for a moment, but honestly I’m now dangling between staying and leaving because of another great experience…

This time, during my what… 10 minutes online… I died because of a lag spike. There were absolutely NO CREATURES in my direct vicinity, only a couple of chiseled blocks upon which I was standing. Character started bouncing around, one moment I’m here, the other I’m there. I stopped moving, hands off the wheel and there I was: DEFEATED and completely WONDERSTRUCK.

So. I was willing and able to check bug after bug, but I believe you guys have your hands full. Nowhere are no bugs. Not any minute or any gaming sessions is bugfree for me. So it really doesn’t matter what I do, I seem to end up greatly discouraged to stick around longer. Mostly since the last patch, is why I’m dumping this last post here. What am I going to do with this? Please, tell me: how did this game evolve from being my best and most played game on steam to the worst?

Re-de-installed

[Jeffrotheswell]

dude! sometimes a new update comes with bugs we test they fix then the next update… this is what we signed up for.

[Havok40k]

It’s not for everyone and some people don’t realize it’s not for them until after they’re already deeply invested. No worries.

I can help work out why you’re experiencing the lag spikes - if you’re interested?

Can you share a screen shot of the Latency Histogram after playing for a few minutes?

[Rumplypigskin]

i thought it was lag at first but im not so sure now…

[Havok40k]

Batch of 100 torches in workbench counts as just one.

[vdragon]

@Rumplypigskin

i thought it was lag at first but im not so sure now…

What was going on here? Did you sink / teleport below ground?

@Havok40k

Batch of 100 torches in workbench counts as just one.

By batch did you mean mass crafted? I mass crafted a few different torches and created exactly 100 for each type, which is working as expected. Can you give more information on what happened?

[Havok40k]

Sorry i was vague. I was referring to the feat workbench crafting II for crafting 500 items. Only counts as one item.

[Rumplypigskin]

I’m sorry @vdragon I think it was my graphics card that needed to be updated. Basically when I broke blocks they broke but on my screen they either took a slower rate to disappear OR they just remain. What the picture shows is when I broke several blocks I walked right in them and I could see everything under the map.

[Vizenre]

When entering a portal I sometimes get placed above the portal on the roof of my house.

And

Sometimes my game crashes when I go through a portal this happens when I go do different planets and not in the same world

Thanks for the clarification. It looks like it’s affecting all the Feats involving the Workbench. It’s been added to the bug database.

Is it all okay now after updating the graphics driver?

@Vizenre

When entering a portal I sometimes get placed above the portal on the roof of my house.

Which particular portal is it? It’s likely that the portal is bigger than the location you’re going to, meaning that it will not go to that exact location.

@Vizenre

Sometimes my game crashes when I go through a portal this happens when I go do different planets and not in the same world

That’s a bit more serious. Can you share a game log and any generated crash dumps around that time if possible? Follow the instructions below:

Q: How do I share a Boundless game log?

If you would like to report a problem when you are playing Boundless please include the following: Finding the Boundless game log: The game generates logs in following locations: On Mac OS X: ~/Library/Logs/Boundless/log.txt On Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Turbulenz\Boundless\log.txt On most versions of Windows %LOCALAPPDATA% is a hidden directory. To access the file you can type the path to the file directly into Windows Explorer. Please Note - The most recent log will be log.txt, older log…

[vdragon]

Did you submit these logs just after the game crashed? There doesn’t seem to be any errors in both.

[Narkulus]

My one hop portal has closed despite having 253 shards in it. It won’t reopen.

[Havok40k]

Where did it hop to? Did the beacon on the other side expire? I don’t know what would happen under those circumstances, but it’s worth investigation.

[Narkulus]

It hopped from Solum to Vulpto. I’ll travel to other portal and check beacon.

Lol, my settlement in Vulpto is gone. I thought I had it fueled for weeks but maybe I was mistaken.

A notification system would be nice for these situations.
