Current Major Issue: Characters Inaccessible

**Max** · #1 03-30-2009, 04:49 AM

Attention all TC:Nova users.

There is a major issue relating to Characters on the Test Centre which may affect your ability to use TC:Nova.

Many people have already noticed that after they create a new character, and disconnect from this new character, all characters on their account appear to be inaccessible. Generally no errors are shown; the user is simply unable to do anything using a character, including play or delete.

For those who are thinking of making a new character; DO NOT! It will disable your ability to play on the Test Centre. CSRs and Developers have even been affected without warning.

For those who are already afflicted with this issue; rest assured that we are working to fix it. We will keep you updated in this thread.

If you have not created a new character and if your current ones are performing fine, you should be safe to continue playing as per normal.

We appologise for the inconvenience and will keep you updated.

Cheers.

Same with me, I tried creating a new character last night, was loading in but then it took me back to the login screen looking like the screenshot djolovicl posted above. Fortunately, all my characters except for that single new character are still playable.

so these things happen from time to time (I'm new with swgEMU)? I was kinda delighted that they got this far already.

Yeh things happen from time to time, its a TC so when they add in new stuff new bugs pop up that has to be worked out. They recently had a hard drive crash on them so lately the downtime has been a little more, but don't worry this team is incredibly hard working and dedicated to this emu.

I'm not worrieng, have all faith in these guys.

[added] Zone server name is now retrieved from galaxy table.

I guess it's related?

God I knew it was a bad idea to create a new character to "test" this bug, I didn't so I think I'm fine, hurray!

Rofl, that would be fun, 3 DB wipes in a row.

Well, not fun in fact.
