ERROR LOG

Okay, there are like 10 different threads about the MS:C bugs, so I though it might make it easier for the devs if they could see all the bugs in one place.

This might be something to sticky, if it works...

______________________<(^^)>___________________________

If you have a bug to report, just post and I'll add it to the list.

NOTE: If you see a bug that doesn't... apply to you, please say so so that we know that it may not be a problem with MS:C but rather some issue only with whoever reported the bug.

may be related to game crashing when hosting or joining a server but heres a bit more info:

game is crashing when joining or hosting a server. the bar goes across and after about the 5th bar of "parsing game info" my game crashes to desktop - no error message or warning other then a momentary freeze before it crashes. changeing graphics settings dont make any differnce.

 

[Lanethan]

This is a very good, comprehensive list. Thanks Crow!

I've noticed something else:
For you people playing on servers running client side characters (i.e. you do a little 'upload' jig before you load into the game), sometimes transitions don't work because they don't 'stick' to your character. Example: You'll transition to Helena, but won't be able to log in because your character won't be saved as being at the transition.
I believe this is a side-effect of the lag between updates on a client side character vs. the server. A possible workaround might be to simply sit in the transition for a time (even suicide to make sure it has been set as your home point...don't worry suicide doesn't make you lose 20% training) before actually making the transition.
More on this when I know more.

I have created a sticky thread that I will keep up to date. A few of the issues in here have been addressed.

 

[jack hawkins]

Is it just me or does any one eles "Give" button not work?

 

[Belmont]

You need to use F11 menu.

 

[dRkILL]

If the give button does not work for player to player offering, I have no solution at the time. However, if this only happens between players and NPCs, look at my bug list for a solution.

 

[FuzzyFish]

An interesting bug I encountered that happened in edana while playing on my own server. I went to the sewer transistion zone to where it triggered, but decided against going there.

At this point I went to thornlands however there was an issue. The game still thought I was going to the sewers and I couldn't enter the map.


Workaround:
Make sure you pick the right one the first time around.

Weather/day/night cycles affect the indoors as well as outdoors. I liked the weather at first, but it gets really annoying when it rains for 30 minutes straight and night time affects the indoors/everything. I would personally prefer constant daylight rather than have the annoyance of complete darkness and/or a constant blue hue.

Not a bug, but the central server idea is kinda meh. I liked it better the old way where it saved your character onto your system and you could use that on any server.

Thornlands crashed for no reason.

 

[Too Short]

The admin makes the choice of which method to use.

dogg was the only one to host the central server...the other ones just hosted 3 characters on their own server.

How do you vote for a time change?
Also I can't offer anything to anyone (ikes letter, gold to get into the market, etc) , I dunno why.

 

[Gurluas]

f12...to vote
and f11 to offer

 

[Kuroneko]

F12 = Main menu (votes, parties)
F11 = Interact Menu (give, talk, etc)

 

[The Vorpal Blade]

The game crashed when I killed the hawk.
Another funny thing was that the hawk was flying upside-down and low to the ground, which is why I could kill him with my bare hands.

Another thing: When I was selling 3 boar skins to Ike, two in my hands and one in my pack, for some reason I ended up selling one of them twice because it didn't disappear from my right hand when I sold it the first time.

Wish i could give more specifics...

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

That was my server you crashed, right?

 

[Xeropace]

Ike doesn't accept the Ledger and the man won't accept his old book.

 

[therurouni]

Use the interact button (F11 by default) to give him the book.

 

[Xeropace]

I know...He won't accept in that way.

 

[Innos]

Antoher one

when you wear leather armor his body spreads apart

fix: unkown

lol I have many errors like when my character after a while just wont show up when I change maps he gets removed forever.

 

[dRkILL]

Look at my thread for a solution to the character deletion problem.

 

[Thothie]

I've got more bugs than I can list... I can't play it myself, and my ability to host a server is rather limited (keeps crashing due to memory leak).

- Can't read chat font: I can only see 1/2 the chat font, vertically (seems the vres is set wrong or not set). Most say text doesn't show up in console, so I can't play on anyone's server but my own - and then I have to alt-tab to the HLDS to actually read chat. In addition, the scrambled chat font obscures half the screen. Suggestion: use Steam's resources/TrackerScheme.res to set font definition so they remain the same accross platforms and resolutions (and even if they don't - at least the client can do something about it.) Also log chat to console, and make the chat obscure less of the screen.

Major Memory Leak: The HLDS simply continues to build up, using more and more memory and more and more CPU until it crashes. The HLDS is using an insane amount of CPU%. I basically have to retart the server every 15 minutes as a result of this. Otherwise it gets "Out of Memory Error: Can't allocate new block" - which is a fatal error that I can't auto-restart the HLDS from, as it brings up a window.

Mentioned by others (Confirmation):
- Can't see at night: Blackness with thin rims of gray - not even worth trying to find my way around. No reason to buy a torch either - since it goes out along with the sun. This needs fixing pronto, or need way to disable day/night system on servers.

Stupid lil things
- I guess the Mayor's Guard overcame his apple addiction, if not, that's a bug, as he don't want em no more.

- Autoexec.cfg doesn't run Userconfig.cfg, thus your settings there will never run.

- Keys.cfg isn't run by anything. (Not sure what its there for)

- Can't see small sack in viewmodel when removed (took us awhile to figure how to remove it as a result)

- Using a space in your character's name causes the game to crash every time a new character is made after that one. So far the only thing I've found to fix this is reinstall - as whatever modded file that is causing the problem is not in the root dir.

- In the words of Lord K: Self-Extractor != Self-Installer

...and worst of all:

MS_PKLEVEL IS STILL BUGGED
I am SICK and TIRED already hearing of players bitching about PKs. If this isn't fixed, I will stop hosting my server - it's just too much squabbling to listen to. Now, even if you make a legit map change, the pk level is still bugged, so it's worse than it was in 1.35. (I've also PK'd accidentally about 10 people myself because Fire spell aim ain't all that great.)

I'm kind of assuming you can't fix it though, since it was in the top #10 complaints about MS 1.35 for so long. If this is the case, just tell me so I don't have to deal with it anymore.

Edit: you have an info_player_start on edanasewers - that's what is causing your crash, I suspect.

 

[Innos]

Intresting I put a orcish bow in my beltsheath lol thats actully asume who needs a backpack and a small bag =P

[vertthrasher]

Wow I spent all freaking day getting to level 10 sword and level 5 small arms and guess what... My character got deleted! GJ team same bugs as old ms. Wow im so pissed off. Its not in the save folder either. What is the point of having backups if they don't backup the file?
