Mayor problems after Issue 12 

Before Issue 12, this only happened once, but after Issue 12 it’s a constant problem.

When I load into a zone (atlas, Kings, etc.) no one is there. Basically the zone has all the buildings but it’s empty, no pedestrians, cars, etc. Gates and doorways into missions won’t work. Other times, the blocks near the entry point works fine till I travel out. Then the same happens. Sometimes when I go into a mission I see the enemies but I cannot attack them and they don’t see me. I need to step out and go back in.

A simple solution I was using was porting into Pocket D then working my way back. Another solution is if I am in a team, another player can port me, even if it’s into the same spot and everything loads up ok.

This is seriously aggravating me, to the point that I reconsider actually taking the time to play. I reloaded the latest drivers and setting on my comp.

What the hell is going on?

RE: Mayor problems after Issue 12 

You are not the only one having this issue. I will get this from time to time as well. I assumed it was my small amount of RAM that was giving me this issue. I have been on a team when this has happened. I will be standing next to my teammates at the next mission and they are asking me when I plan on coming over. I asked where they thought I was and they said I at at the entrance to the last mission.

I normally log out and log back in and it is corrected. If you are going along and don't see any other NPC's around, you can assume that the issue is occurring. Either teleport to your base or log out and log back in.

Don't give up. these issues will get worked out. Patience is the key.

RE: Mayor problems after Issue 12 

This is something called a "synch" error. You're not synching into the zone correctly. Teleporting straightens it out. It's not a fix, but if you have teleport as your travel power, you can just port once and it will work fine. It sometimes happens in missions too. It will also work if you have someone Recall Friend you. I had to do that the other day in Grandville.

RE: Mayor problems after Issue 12 

It doesn't always work if you teleport yourself. In fact, the first few times I got this error, I was unable to teleport at all. However, if you can get a teammate to teleport you, it almost always works.

I actually have yet to see this bug in issue 12, but I did teleport a few people out of it this weekend.

RE: Mayor problems after Issue 12 

This is something the devs are aware of, but they are having a very difficult time reproducing the error and therefore they can't get to the bottom of what's causing it. They are asking for players experiencing this bug to submit a petition. More information can be found here and here.

RE: Mayor problems after Issue 12 

OK here are the bugs I have encountered... tool tip bugs...
Bug #1 - I mouse over a power in my tray or in my enhancement manager screen and the text (not the numbers) is so infinitesimally tiny it can't be read, however the numbers can be seen. Bug reported this one on Saturday.

Bug #2 - When I mouse over a power, again in the tray or in the enhancement manager, the tool tip window is so narrow, it looks like a toothpick width bubble with no visible text or numbers. Bug reported this one on Monday.

Anyone else having this issue?

RE: Mayor problems after Issue 12 

I haven't had a problem with my new computer with that issue but my older computer would get that problem inside missions from time to time.
The problem was that I didn't have enough RAM to load everything, if it did load everything it would crash.
If it did load, things would be missing.
So you'll probably have to upgrade the RAM if you're running 1GB but if you are above that then I dunno.

RE: Mayor problems after Issue 12 

The only problem I'm getting is the odd mapserver lost, to the point of DC'ing once or twice, but it's enough allow the bad guys beat me down a couple of times. These things happen with most new issues and are sorted in a week or two, mostly.

RE: Mayor problems after Issue 12 

I have been getting a weird message everytime I zone, either onto a mission map, base or city zone.

"unknown command clearspam"

No idea what it is, but started after I12 load. Have not encountered the problem you folks are describing as yet. I have 4G of ram so if it is a ram issue that could explain why I haven't seen it.

I get this too. I believe it's from the new Email Spam button. It shows up whenever you don't actually have any spam emails to delete.

RE: Mayor problems after Issue 12 

The synch issue hasn't popped up for me very much. I might have a few seconds of "out of body experience" every once in a long while, but it always seems to correct itself for me.

The "Invalid Command ClearSpam" bug I've been getting constantly. Naturally this is a much lower priority than the synch bug, as all this does is put one extra line of text in the global chat channel every so often. Then again, I have yet to get spam since I12 debuted, whereas before I got spam about 3 times a week.
