Game Mechanics: Dieing/Zoning Group Bug- Just This EMU or Problem for All?

[Erati]

Hey all,

I'd like to preface my experience that I have not played extensively on any other EMU EQ server so this could be a problem that plagues the EMU coding rather than P1999, but I am sure everyone has experienced this bug before. You are in a group you die or zone a couple times and bam no longer are you able to hear or talk in groupchat and you also cannot disband on your own, you have to be removed from the group and reinvited. Sometimes this also causes you to not gain exp when bugged and I have even had the experience of my group window saying two completely different groups (IE I die and my group outside the dungeon has a different list of people than when I zone back into the dungeon). I am sure everyone has run into this one, I am posting it just to find out if this is an issue currently being look at for a fix or is it filed under the this is a 'general EQ emulator bug' somethings will never be completely resolved.


on a positive note, I am really enjoying P1999 and couldnt be happier with my gaming experience, very nice work everyone has done here. I really appreciate the efforts of the devs and the community for bringing this game back to live in it's classic form.

Sometimes the group will bug out like that. It's annoying but it's not THAT common. It happens maybe once a day or so.

Sometimes upon zoning back to where the rest of the group is will fix it. Sometimes you may have to reform the group. It's not a big deal.

It seems to happen much more often than once a day when I'm grouping. I have gotten into the habit of sending test messages every time I zone to make sure everyone can still hear me in group chat.

There have been times when the group could not see a single thing I typed for like 5-10 minutes (and vice versa) so I'm a bit paranoid.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Believe it or not a similar bug used to exist on live too. The group would get bugged and was unable to disband or invite new people. Everyone would have to log out and back in again to fix it.

typing #refreshgroup in the chatbar seems to fix this without having to camp out.
