[SLEEP] Yankmyplank Players 127 posts 29,980 battles Report post #1 Posted July 5, 2019 Why has the repair bug not been sorted out yet? , all too often my ships are either put on fire or flooding and when I hit the repair button, the consumable is used but has no effect! No repairs done in fact. I know this has been reported so many times yet still this is an issue. Really guys maybe work on fixing what is not right before adding new content, I guarantee it will keep more people happy rather than rage quitting! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

little_rowboat Players 340 posts Report post #4 Posted July 5, 2019 only happened to me when using the consumable and client crashes and you manage to get back into game and somehow are still alive, then there is a desync between client and server and the consumable using status isn’t right anymore.. you neither see the cooldown duration nor the status and when you hit a button (damage con, torp drop, whatever) nothing happens.. but that’s the only scenario I can imagine and it hasn’t happened to me for a long time.. at least not this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if you send us a replay and a WGCheck we're happy to look into what might have caused that but it sounds like there is some issue on your side. Can also please make sure that there are no old remnants of mods installed? Greetings, Crysantos 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SLEEP] Yankmyplank Players 127 posts 29,980 battles Report post #7 Posted July 6, 2019 absolutely no mods installed, it is a fresh install on fairly new hard drive, but this has always happened, how can it possibly be on my side? if the server recognises I have used the consumable but game fails to do the repair, that is surely a server side issue! Ran wgcheck a thousand times or more tbh and it comes up with no issue. I am also not the 1st and certainly will not be the last to have this problem either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many people out there that claim something has happened when it may be a misunderstanding of what happened or simply someone trying to get attention. A replay may help others spot what has happened. Have you done what Crysantos suggested? (see post #6 in this thread). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that case: Don't blame the devs but look on your side for the problem. Tried a fresh installation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that case: Don't blame the devs but look on your side for the problem. Tried a fresh installation? As the game mechanics are done server side, it would not be possible to use the repair my end and not register on the server, if that was the case, it would simply be lag or lost packets which spamming the repair key would eventually enable it, but once it is activated on my pc it would have to be active on server unless the issue was server side. As for trying a fresh installation, this is my 3rd computer I am using to play this game, it used to happen a lot in the early days then kind of stopped for a short while, about 2 years ago I think it was the devs even posted they had fixed this known issue. it seems to be happening more frequently as time goes by. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand your point of view - but it's not the initially stated "many many reports for ages" situation that you claimed it to be - and I'm not here to dispute that apparently you're experiencing issues. I can't tell you why you have those issues because afaik there is no such reported bug currently, so that's why I asked you to please provide us with the information as stated above so we can try to help you. There are many reasons for potential problems, ranging from a bad internet connection leading to desyncs, issues with your client or other software. 12 hours ago, Yankmyplank said: As the game mechanics are done server side, it would not be possible to use the repair my end and not register on the server, if that was the case, it would simply be lag or lost packets which spamming the repair key would eventually enable it, but once it is activated on my pc it would have to be active on server unless the issue was server side. Sorry but just because you press a button doesn't mean that info is magically read by the server, it needs to be sent over and processed. Since we don't have any similar reports lately a server-wide issue with this would be known and is apparently not the case, so the most likely scenario is an issue with your local client / PC / connection.

Hi Yankmyplank, may I just ask a question. Are you referring to the “Damage Control” consumable or the “Repair Party” consumable?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
