Release 182 - Report issues here

[vdragon]

@ilinx

Weird. Low FPS? Maybe low-ish from time to time. I was getting a lot of that “unstable connection, returning to Sanctum” type error the other day. I don’t feel like I have a slow Internet connection in general, though. Anything I should try to troubleshoot?

Try this:

Engine: Fixing lag with "Chunk Download Rate"

The Chunk Download Rate option limits the number of chunks the game will attempt to download from the server. If the client attempts to download more chunks than your connection bandwidth can support then the game may start to lag. This will often happen when you’re in areas that contain many portals. The Chunk Cache Size (in MB) option limits the size of the chunks cached locally. The more chunks the client can cache the less chunks it will need to re-download from the server when entering wor…

See if this makes a difference.

@Combyte

Objectives that have already been completed seem to have reappeared as uncompleted, including “A New Dawn” which can’t be completed, no matter what i do in the sanctum.

Had you previously completed this objective prior to the update? It looks like it’s got the wrong filter. Can you check if it’s also listed under the Completed filter?

@Combyte

Adding or Removing permissions doesn’t complete the “Add A Member To Your Beacon” objective

@Combyte

And, Machines can’t be repaired with a spanner, i tried using an Iron Spanner on a machine to try to complete the “Fixing Machines” objective, but it doesn’t even repair the 0.2% wear on my workbench

Thanks for the report, bug have been logged.

@Kal-El

After I go through a portal, I am first getting a message welcoming me to the location of the portal I went through and second to the place I have arrived at. Then it tells me which settlement the portal I passed through was in and then the information on the settlement I have arrived at. I did this going through various portals in the fire caverns on Munteen. One example was going from the fire caverns to Eden on Berlyn.

If I understood this correctly, are you saying that the game is simply displaying the wrong names when you’re going through the portals? Can you provide the coordinates so that I can take a look at this? Thanks.

@Stretchious

Hey @vdragon - Here’s the skills I have assigned on Combat Mastery…

@willcrutchley

I can confirm that charge skill definately isn’t working. I have 4 slingbow mastery and the charge skill. No repeater skill.

@Combyte

Charged Slingbow skill seems to work, but it’s visuals are missing

After a bit of investigation, it seems that the issue was reproducible, but after returning to the sanctum and going back into the same world, it suddenly worked for me. Can you check if this is the case (the original bug has been logged by the way).

@Combyte, the visual effect works for me. Are you getting this issue with certain Slingbows?

@Combyte

Also, it appears that you can override the beacon color slot by Shift + Left Clicking items into it:

Smart Stacks and Unknown color indexes always result in a Deep Purple or Brown color

It looks like from the video that the last Gleam block you placed into the slot was of a purple colour, which would be correct under normal circumstances, but then you selected the option to apply the colour when there is a Spark Cord. Thanks for the information, a bug has been logged.

@willcrutchley

that storage bug @TwistedFoot pointed out is still here (the Natural Crystal one) except it works with lava and water buckets too:

Thanks for the report, the additional information has been added to the bug database.

@brook-monroe

Would it be possible to go back to showing the contents of a device or other work surface rather than defaulting to the Recipe tab? When I go to one of those, the first thing I’m likely to do is add something to the device or work surface, then choose a recipe, not the other way around. It’s now two moves to offload materials instead of one, and it just ruins the workflow where I’m concerned.

This is feedback rather than a bug, but it will be passed onto the designers.

@boundmore

said exactly same thing in the other thread.

Out of interested, what’s the name of the topic?

@boundmore

Weird thing hanging from my ceiling - looks like placeholder and it says “igneous rock…something something”.

A bug has been logged for this. Was this a block you obtained in the past?

@boundmore

I lost bones in my inventory after I bought additional inventory space skill.

Can you give a bit more information about what you were doing? For example, were the bones part of a smart stack and which inventory slot were they residing it? Which inventory space skill(s) did you activate?

@boundmore

Three of my furnaces lost their fuel after I was interacting with one of them. Specifically, I was trying to add more compact soft coal to one of them and pressed Esc on keyboard a bit too quick (I was mid-way through dragging coal from my inventory). Normally items floating with mouse cursor don’t disappear when leaving inventory. This time my furnace had no more fuel left and two other furnaces next to it lost their fuel too. I’m not sure about coal in inventory as I didnt remember exact number I had before it happened.

(I’m sure they had around 4-8 compact soft coal each).

Can’t reproduce this. How many times did this occur between the three Furnaces you were using?

@Kirinvar

I just died by jumping down to stairs where i would normally not recieve any fall damage at all.

Bye Bye Ruby Grapple. Thank you.

It happend right after reassigning skill points. Maybe there is a connection.

As a bonus I lost 5000 exp after returning from the Sanctum.

It’s not visiual, I checked. 42k exp before, 37k after.

(I check my exp everytime I log in before i do anything because these minus exp bugs happen a lot and i wanted to know if they are only visual - sadly they are not.)

I was not able to reproduce the death. All subsequent jumps caused no fall damage.

What are the coordinates where this is happening?

Regarding the odd XP information appearing on the top right of the screen, a few players have reported this, but as yet we have been unable to reproduce the XP issue. Was this the only time you’ve experienced this?

@Stretchious

I think I broke notifications…

It was doing this constantly after going back-and-forth between my Septerfon and Munteen builds 3-4 times in quick succession.

The notifications as to where I was, were also playing catch up and were displaying in the wrong order. They should probably be truncated as soon as you go through a portal to prevent this.

Thanks for the video showing the issue, we’ve logged a bug.

@Awkanic

Client has crashed twice thus far when attempting to open the Extractor in my base. Upon reloading, I am able to get into it. Crash dumps sent both times.

Thanks, we’ve received the crash dumps to look at.

@Awkanic

Machines position order can no longer place the machine on top.

Lets focus on the Workbench, lets label four vertical positions in my machine tower (4 blocks tall)

A

B

C

D

Previously, If I placed the blocks in the order DCAB, the top-most block would be the saw. Now, it is the piston/pump thing. No matter the order I drop the machine blocks, I cannot seem to place the saw on top.

It’s fine if this was on purpose, but I doubt this was intentional. The result is that my entire build now looks funny as I have buried all but the saw.

Was this intentional and will the behaviour remain as such, or is this a bug?

Were you originally able to position the Workbench the way you wanted every time prior to the update?

@Awkanic

There is now a visual artifact when closing furnaces. The heat bar flies to 100% for a few frames before the UI actually closes. It’s rather distracting.

I couldn’t get the exact same situation as shown in the screenshot, but there is something odd going on here, so a bug has been logged.

@Oggieogham

I get a lot more unstable connection errors now. It is much worse when I go near portals. I went to the chisel knights portal hub to see the nice signs but couldn’t stay long, I would get an unstable connection error and lock up for 3-4 seconds, get to move for 3-4 seconds and get another unstable connection error, and that just kept reoccurring until I left.

I also frequently got an unstable connection error after shooting a cuttletrunk

Not sure how much it would help, but what are your current settings for the Chunk Download Rate and Chunk Cache Size? Also, see if changing them makes a difference.

@Redpawa

After using a copper slope chisel I switched to a silver precise slope chisel to finish up corners. It is behaving as if the silver chisel is a copper one and taking out an entire side rather than just the corner.

EDIT: Realised I actually did not have the necessary skill, Could you make this a bit more obvious though.

We’ll make a note of your feedback to pass along to the designers.

@andsim

1. tp issues is bad tp at top from door in underground

2. died from underground but revival above ground need to underground

3. 5 Times died tool is gone remove this 25% percent from tools please or change to lest to 5%

1. By ‘tp’ did you mean teleporting?

2. Do you remember how small the area was when you lost all health? If it’s too small then the game won’t be able to teleport you to the exact location but possibly just above it.

3. You can reduce this by activating the Death Penalty Reduction skills.

@bregma

I had a totem augment waiting in my workbench when I logged on to the new build. I dragged it from my workbench and dropped it on the totem in my inventory and got immediately disconnected from the server, unable to reconnect for several minutes. About 10 minutes later, I repeated the action (because it had not completed) and the same thing happened, disconnect and unable to reconnect for several minutes. I suspect a server crash, sorry guys, not my fault. This was some time between 18:30 and 20:00 in the GMT-4 timezone on Solum, if you need to check server logs.

The third time, I dragged the augment into my inventory first, closed the workbench screen and opened the inventory screen and dropped the augment on the totem. No disconnect.

No need to apologise, we should have the server crash made available to us, so we can look at it and push a hotfix so that you carry out the same action without worrying about being disconnected.

@TwistedFoot

When switching from my lvl 50 main to a lower level alt the alt’s HP bar retains the HP bar from my main.

Thanks for the report, a bug has been logged.

@ctrl-64

just applied the regen skill, not seeing my health go up… there used to be little green numbers above my health bar, now nothing.

@boundmore

I miss that too - there is only an animation on the bar: it’s growing bit by bit with and the adding part is red first and then turning green.

The floating numbers are really way better.

We have indeed removed the numbers, but the health should still go up as mentioned.

@bregma

I was mining on Vulpto and the lighting was doing awfully weird things. I carries a regular torch in one hand, and it was much darker than previously – I’m OK with that’ I’ve used real torches in real caves and they’re gosh-darn dim. The problem was if I looked at lava it was fine but if I was not looking directly at the lava, it was very very bright like glare and made it difficult to see anything. Turning my POV just a few degrees would toggle the glare like turning a light switch on and off. Very annoying and encroached on my quiet enjoyment.

A few players have mentioned this earlier in the topic, which we are currently looking at.

@ctrl-64

Oh ok, wow that is so very unnoticeable when you have even a few points into vitality. I miss the numbers too. I do like the instant-red-then-slow-green-fill though, can that be applied to blocks too? The animation is nice but seems sluggish.

It’s wouldn’t work in the same way, as the cracks would instantly disappear when left alone for a few seconds instead of gradually shrinking and disappearing altogether.

@Havok40k

I noticed that locks seem to be rotated 90 or 180 degrees depending on what face of a block they are on.

Not seeing this. Do you have any example screenshots? Edit: @Havok40k this was in reply to your locks comment, which I had forgot to quote.
