Cantr II Discussion Forum

Now I noticed that I can't take a note out of an envelope because it throws me to the events page of a character I was previously checking, and then gives an error that I can't take notes out of an envelope I don't have. It's damn annoying knowing that you're gonna end up tossed some place random (mostly the characters list) after doing pretty much anything such as dropping things, saving a note, picking things up and what fucking ever.

On a related issue, I noticed it's impossible to start a project on a limestone quarry. It might extend to other machinery as well. It keeps saying either that I can only enter a normal value as amount when I didn't have time to write a number or in fact to even see the whole input box, or then it says that I can't use it because I'm supposedly not in the same location with it. I can only write in a number if I hit stop in the correct moment but even then it says I'm not in the same location. Could someone test that this isn't just something that happens to me?

Seko, as no-one else has mentioned this, it suggests it is your machine at fault. Haven't got any keys stuck down? Like the backspace, which causes those sort of errors.

It has happened on more than one computer. Could it be caused by using Firefox 3?

Hum... I won't say this never happened to me but if it did it's not very often and I don't have much of a problem with it. What happens sometimes is, for example, when I go to a machine, then use the browser back button and try to do something like maybe dropping something. Then an error occurs that says i can't drop that item.
That can be avoided if I don't use the browser back button, although it's boring. Maybe that's what happens to you.

If this is not your problem than I can only tell you it's not Firefox 3 fault as i use it too... Only thing left then would be the account, although i doubt it's possible for an account to have bugs of its own...

I'm almost certain that it is, but that's beside the point.

I have had this problem too. While I am in a character, I suddenly get thrown back to the main page with the list of all my characters. At the top is the error message about not being able to see other people's information, or something to that effect.

I get booted regularly also.

The thing is, it keeps happening even though the back button is not used. In fact, in some instances (dropping things, looking at character descriptions come to mind) using the back button is pretty much the only way to avoid getting booted! Funny enough, today I checked Cantr in school and didn't experience any problems at all, even though they also have Firefox 3 as far as I know. But when I come home, it can kick me after things as simple as speaking in public. After some things like picking things up or dropping things it seems to happen 100% of the time. Also that limestone quarry thing and envelope thing happened 100% time, although I didn't check awfully many times. Also when I start an article of clothing, I need to click twice to advance to inventory to add the resources, then I get booted unless I hit the inventory tab before it has finished loading. Hitting stop doesn't work, it still gets me booted.

Well, I just tried with Internet Explorer and no more page jumping. So I think it must be Firefox related. It's pretty funny if no one else gets it, maybe it's a combination of Firefox and something else on my computer.

I've noticed today that when it happens, the url contains the old unencrypted page name. As far as I know, page names are supposed to be included in the encrypted part - this might be the reason why I get booted, because it cannot read the string because it's trying to decrypt it but it's not encrypted in the first place. Or did I get something wrong?

I've got the same probelm as chris. It'll randomly boot me to the character page saying I can't look at other character's information. I don't guess that is what you are talking about though...

I have the exact same problem. I also use Firefox.

Is it better now? I noticed the obfuscation was removed, that seems to have been the start of it.

What does obfuscation mean? I'm not familiar with that word. I'm still experiencing the thing but I don't think my Firefox is the latest version. When I turned on my computer, it was loading updates and said that a new version is available, but it never said that it actually installed it and maybe I haven't even restarted Firefox all day, so maybe that's why it hasn't been able to install the update.
