New toon will not stay in place in the character screen

[Etched]

I made a new tank a few days ago and any time I move it and log in with a different toon, everything will reset and the new toon is back on page 1 and all the other toons will move back to their original place. Tried this with a different new toon and it does the same thing. 

 

I like to keep my ATs grouped together so this is really messing with my OCD.

 

I deleted both toons and remade the tank and it is still happening. Would love some help with this.

 

Thanks in advance,

You have to check "Remember Username" in the login screen.  If you don't, playerslot.txt doesn't save. (If using multiple accounts, takes a second to delete the username and type an alt login.)

 

If you have, the file has likely been corrupted.  Deleting it should clear it up.

Whatl are you talkin about? This is the same account that I have been using for years. This has nothing to do with Loggin in into the game, this has to do with my toon will not stay where I place it.

I can place it on page 5 in the middle of six toons and when I log out from playin a different toon that toon will be back on the first page and the toons on page six will be in the same slots as if i never moved the new tank. It always go back to the fist empty slot on page one.

I apologize, I assumed you had alt logins you don't have.  (Assumptions and online tech help often are unavoidable.)

 

Regardless, is "Remember User Name" checked when you login?  If it is, then, "C:\Games\Homecoming\Accounts\YOURNAMEHERE\playerslot.txt" may need to be deleted.  Next time you open the client, the file will be remade and you should be able to move your characters how you like them from there on. (I'm also assuming your installation is in C:\Games\Homecoming, and the file is being written in the first place.)

For the life of me I missed this when you posted. So I owe you a enormous Thank You.

 

I honestly thought you were bat shit crazy. The check no that has been on since I started playing. Today I was logging  in and I noticed that it was unchecked. Once I checked it the toon plus the corruptor I made this mornin were exactly where I left them.🙃

 

Not exactly sure how it got turned off.  I guess on the last maintenance? 

 

Thank you for the help.
