Release 197 - Report issues here

[Jacra]

Not sure if you follow the Steam bug report list/forums (it says nowhere there that there is a need to post here) so here are bugs I found in order of priority.

The most crucial makes the game unplayable for me and that is frequent disconnects due to world chunk loads despite good ping and setting it to Minimal load speeds.

Ping to playboundless.com remains like that. Ping to other servers like google.com is the same though.
Edit2: Found out my better half suffocates the upload bandwith every so often with his work connection … How much upload bandwith does boundless need?

[Tillweed]

@vdragon Ok I have retested and this appears to be resolved. I’m not sure why the first time it caused it to reduce but this time its working as intended. Examples shown bellow.

Character: Tillweed
Setup: Stone hammer and teaching porridge

Test before consuming the teaching porridge:

Thanks!

If you start to drown at least in Delta Cancret your protection skill gets disable, even though the icon doesn’t dissapear, but you get the environment debuffs and die.

[wolfpack2012]

@vdragon

I can’t reproduce this, as I have a Objective Coffer available at that particular moment. Did you anything in particular (e.g. did you quick collect all coffers prior to the objective appearing on screen)?

It was a lag issue. It was right before servers crashed on the first day. When I logged back on after the servers were back, it had auto completed.

[CreativeWorlds]

Just now, I had an item in every left hand slot except 2, I hit 2, and in my right hand was an iron grappling hook, and my left hand had nothing, so I hit 1, where my sand was in my left hand, nothing happened, my hand still displayed an empty left hand and a grappling hook in my right, it stayed on quickslot 2.

When things like this happen, I get killed lol, I’m tryin’ to wall somethin’ off like lava, and it won’t quick-switch.

I tried it slowly, and quickly, and once it was stuck on 2, the only way it would switch again normally is if I used the mousewheel once, then I could go back to hitting other numbers to change equipment.

[Bug]: It is not possible to buy atlases (which have been bound to a planet and have regions revealed) or forged tools from shop stands right now.

[Crete]

Whaaat?!?! No Atlas Shop?

[telriche]

@vdragon

I have max agility as well, which is crit. I’m starting on putting points in hammer skill. As I said, for the skill points invested, this change is frustrating and boring. Also 12 hits, even with a stone hammer, on a low tier planet is silly sauce and extra boring.
I love the game but spending two to three times longer mining is not at all interesting.

I’ll pass your feedback onto the designers.

telriche:

I’m also not happy with how expensive it is to warp to other worlds. Like with making portals more expensive, this has a stifling effect on growth, builders, and merchants.

Are you talking about warp to all worlds, or just specific ones that are near or far away?

After getting to a higher level and gaining the newly modified dps epic, I’m less concerned than I was. That said I’m hoping that at higher tier planets (6+) things don’t get too out of control with respect to the available items. I want to mine and explore at a decent pace.

As for the warp costs, its mostly worlds more distant than a single blink sec. Costs are crazy. The portals make that less of an issue now, but high costs like that stifle exploration. Perhaps the blinksec range skill could instead apply a discount to closer worlds? Or have an epic that greatly reduces the cost of a warp. On worlds with portals, thats rarely going to be used… but on worlds that can’t or are hard to maintain portals on, that might give explorers a big leg up and feel different than another spec.

[Simoyd]

@vdragon

This should be fixed in the latest patch.

My game just crashed before I entered a portal to Delta Cancred from till. The game did not prompt me to submit a crashdump on restart…

EDIT: crashed 2 more times going from delta to boori, submitted both dumps. I’m still thinking there’s a correlation to the time of day

[Omnifob]

@vdragon No thoughts on the posts about Olivine Fragments and the objective “A Song of Sand and Gravel”?

It’s not a bug per say, but it is unfortunate design.

This post and another 3 posts down essentially:

Release 197 - Report issues here

I’ve stated all this in another thread, but I’ll put it here aswell. I started off on a T0 planet (Sochaltin I) and I find the T1 objective “A Song of Sand and Gravel” to be a bit unbalanced. It basically implies that the player should dig gravel for gravel and flint and sand for sand and olivine fragments. It sound very starter planet friendly until you realize that olivine fragment probably wont drop. I’m not yet interested in the olivine fragments beyond getting the objective done, but I w…

Since I don’t really want to spend skill cleanse points right now I’m not going to confirm this.

But it appears that if you just cleanse from your second skill set, switch over to your first skill set, escapes and confirm your changes, the game will crash.

Logs were sent after starting up the game again.

Encountered a bug tonight where an item in the Workbench queue could not be cancelled. My husband started a bulk craft of Refinery Power Coils by accident (meant to do Advanced Refinery Power Coil) and the Queue would not cancel for any of our characters. Tried relogging, tried returning to sanctum and swapping characters but the button was unresponsive. There were open slots in available and inventory was not full.

[Karokendo]

@vdragon can you please remove this random ambient chat sound “message received”? It happens sometimes when I afk an It sounds exactly as if somebody was to post a message but in fact nothing like that happens. This is a bug that exists for a long, long time and I think it may be a joke from the programmer who added that sound as a joke.

[sztosz]

A sap looking like glue due to the lightning

In game it looks more whiteish than on screenshot.

[Barneylee57]

i can confirm this

this is what i THOUGHT was happening:

• i have a Razor Naga
• my scroll wheel (i thought) was super sensative
• thought i was slightly brushing the wheel every so often by accident

After Reading @CreativeWorlds reply

• I have noticed it quite a few times now (even when not brushing the wheel)
  i am glad to see it is actually an issue that the game will auto-change held items for whatever strange reason

@vdragon i agree this should be seen as a bug

---

UPDATE - i know @CreativeWorlds is saying that his items are refusing to change but i am just wondering if its part of the same issue?

[Barneylee57]

i always thought of it as a constant stamina replenishing sound

because it only seems to happen just after i have returned to max stamina and wiill stay for up to five minutes (it hapens at random times so i cannot prove exactly what i mean - i hope it is the same as @Karokendo because it is annoying as hell and needs to go!!

@sztosz

A sap looking like glue due to the lightning

FINALLY!!! (there is your proof of the sap @vdragon ) thank the universe for you @sztosz

@Jacra

How much upload bandwith does boundless need?

ALthough i am not getting any lag issue (at all) on any planet… i do notice boundless uses a constant 70 > 80% CPU when i have an i5 quad

(i live 30 miles from the studio in Guildford)

EDIT -
Just done a speed test while playing when my pc is not doing anything i get 76.8 MB/s (DL) when its playing i get lower than 9.5

[Barneylee57]

Another bug i think (or intended?)

With the increased grapple swing speed and height eventually the grapple will unraverl itself so your touching the ground…

[OmniUno]

May be a bug:

Copper chisel with changer boon does not work on rough or compact gem blocks.

May be a bug #2:

Placing blocks costs stamina but you can continue placing them even when out of stamina.

[sztosz]

Possible bug

Sinning the Centraforge (Tier 3 Crafter Objective)

I have no clue what to do to complete it, or maybe it’s broken. There are two steps Add Ingredients to the Centraforge ingredients deck which one? I tried resin, gum, and boon, none works, none make this step complete. Start the forging process I’m on round 2 now… so either is broken, or I don’t understand what start in this context mean

Spinning the Centraforge not triggering
