FIXED Bouncing around

[MrChumly]

After every restarting my guy was bounced to a place i either haven’t been before or haven’t been in weeks. While in Shadowguard i was bounced to tram del and to far east brit. While party member stayed where we were. Shakyj was with me.

So important facts are:

Both times this happened to you it was after a restart or crash and you were logging back into a room of Shadowguard correct?

 

[MrChumly]

Yes

Well when i first logged in this morning i was also not where i logged out

And i think i was logging in this morning right after a crash

I've had this happen before. Its so infrequent, I'm not too concerned about it. To note, i logged in a location that I had logged out of, but not the most recent logged out location.

 

[MrChumly]

I was logging into places ive never been before

Dan said it might have something to do with the Shadowguard. I was not the leader of the party and was the only one bounced out. My pet would even stay

 

[Dan]

Dexter what I think is going on here is, if you are the leader who keyed for a room and your party is in a room, during a restart, the party leader logs back into his instance, everyone else, no longer in a party because of restart, gets moved to a random stuck location.

 

[Dexter]

I see. Let me look and see. Were you doing shadowguard sometime before the restart/crash?

 

[MrChumly]

The first time i had just logged into the game. But i logged in right after a crash. I was in Shadowguard when the shard crashed two times and once on a restart. So yes three times it happened i was in Shadowguard.

And if I remember correctly we were on the boss in the bar all three times. Not 100% on that Shakyj might be able to confirm that.

 

[Dexter]

Ok, so where exactly were you when you logged back it? Were you in the shadowguard lobby area?

 

[MrChumly]

The first time i was in delucia trammel near healers. Second time i was in delucia trammel near the inn. Both places i havent been to in weeks. Third time i ended up in papua trammel. I have not been there on this character. Fourth time i ended up far south east brit trammel , again a place this character had not been.

 

[Dan]

He had been inside shadowguard, but not as the party leader.

If anything it should eject them to right outside Shadowguard.

 

[Dexter]

So this all happened all after the crash?

 

[MrChumly]

Three crashes and one restart. And we had been doing several runs at Shadowguard

 

[Dan]

Player A - Starts the instance to shadow guard as the party leader with Player B.

The shard restarts.

Player A logs back in and is still in the shadowguard room.

Player B logs back in and is ejected to some random town in Trammel. (This is because he is no longer in the party on a restart)

NO IDEA how it is supposed to work on UO as we would have to test it RIGHT at restart. Should a party serialize?

A simple fix would be to just make sure if in shadowguard to eject to the entrance instead of a random town location.

 

[Dexter]

They should be getting that storm level gump. Is this not happening? And yes, I agree, they should go back to the lobby. Not sure why this code was put in there.

 

[Dan]

A few players I talked to did get the storm gump so wherever else the storm gump is used that should be working fine.

 

[Dexter]

Yea, it happens right at login. There may need to be a slight delay to send the gump since so much crap happens to the client at login. So, storm level gump or bump to the lobby?

 

[Dan]

Bump to lobby, in regards to Shadowguard. It makes the most sense to revert to the entrance of an encounter.

 

[MrChumly]

Thank you both for looking into this. I know you have bigger fish to fry.
