Developer The Curator Posted December 3, 2019 Developer Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Advanced Crash Avoidance Technology Implementation The mapserver will no longer crash when attempting to transfer a character from one shard to another before logging it in. Explanation: the previous patch introduced some internal changes to character data, and those changes are applied when the character logs in. If a character transfer was attempted on a character that had not been logged in, the receiving mapserver detected that the character was missing the new data fields, and triggered a programmer breakpoint in order to warn about the missing data -- which is to say, it crashed. It no longer is so enthusiastic about detecting missing fields on the live servers. The Mission Computer and Oracle will no longer crash the mapserver when a player tries to craft at tip mission while in a Task Force. Explanation: Tip missions are really contacts, and crafting one adds a contact to your list. While a player is on a Task Force, it can only have one Contact available, and trying to obtain another caused the mapserver to freak out and crash. It has now been taught that it can just refuse to give the character another contact instead. Edited December 3, 2019 by The Curator 12 2

Avilister Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Does this mean that character transfers are re-enabled?

Herotu Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Thanks. ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.

I was curious if it was a large update or just a slow evening for downloads.

Herotu Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 It's downloading most of the game again, I think? I guess it's replacing big files. ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.
SuperPlyx Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 yeah,I am downloading what I assume are big geobin_xxx.pigg files

Will there a badge for crafting contacts? 1 3 Thanks for D-Sync Enhancements! Just wish things like Resist/End, Heal/End and Damage/Mez had a third stat that made them more viable. Suggestions - add Recharge to Ribosomes, Range to Golgis, and Slows to Peroxisomes. These changes would allow for an endurance cost/range, recharge/endurance, and slow/mez or slow/damage enhancements.
MiteyMarvel Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Same problem with the Tequila Server. What would be the reason that it needs to re-download rather LARGE files if all it's adding in is an advanced crash reporter?
