Subprime Loans Crisis (Vega)Strikes Back
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2008 7:49 pm
After some more play on the new server (thanks hosters!), here are some weird happenings, all trade related:
1. Very rarely, trying to sell something via the "Sell" button will decrease the count by just 1 (as per "Sell 1" button) but without cash gain.
Last night, after undocking, I found the 3 single cargos (1 per sale attempt) floating outside the station.
The only thing I can think of is that I docked at a relatively high speed, somehow making me in and out of the station at the same time, so that the sale attempt resulted in a cargo dump.
2. Last night as well, I found it was impossible for me to sell the stuff I had bought. I went to another station, and selling was still impossible. No further investigation about this issue, as it was late in the night, so I just quit without saving.
3. Once, I logged in and found myself with about 59XX credits, while my last saved cash was over 2,100,000; I saw that in the manifest after undocking, so I promptly docked again and the station screens also showed 59XX. I quit without saving, relogged, and my "precioussssss" was back.
Nothing of this has had unrecoverable effects, but I thought I'd mention it all in case it can be of any help.
-- Edit (meh I knew I'd be forgetting something)
4. (And this happened to another player too) When you sell something, first of all cash is set to 0 and items go yellow, then cash gets updated and items gain their colour back (white, yellow, purple). Maybe because of some packet loss, things can get stuck in the middle, with cash at 0 and all items yellow, tho you can still scroll the menus or change screen. Again, quitting without saving made my "precioussssss" come back to me.
