CANTR CHARDESC Code / Projects not working properly

Postby Debsy » Sat Nov 07, 2020 8:12 am

I was wondering if anyone was going to post this anywhere, or if it would be corrected quickly. But it doesn't seem to be correcting itself at least.

It seems that there's a problem with the CANTR CHARDESC code, as people's names are showing up, but if we have the description in their name, it's not there. People who have not been named are just showing up blank with a male or female symbol, but nothing more.

Another issue I've noticed was that I had a gathering project I'd worked on for about 3 days. When the project finished, it was like the resources I'd just gathered and would have had just vanished. They weren't in my inventory, and they weren't on the ground either.

Both issues have happened since today's earlier maintenance. Can someone look into these please?

Okay I thought I was going crazy as I have the same issue. I was making meat feed and when it finished it only gave like 11 grams of feed or something to that effect when I know it was a lot more than that.

It seems to be fixed now, at least for me.

I am still missing the outcome of a finished project.

The bug with missing project output persisted for about 12 hours and blank name of unknown people for about 6, because it started to exist after incorrect run of one of server scripts.
The missing results of the projects are going to be given back but it might take me some time (I'll need to create them manually). It depends on how many projects were affected.

I was asked to say this here, so...

Send a message to support pointing out the missing resources, this way Greek can see it and fix them manually. As he said above, it can take a while, depending on how many projects were affected.

Almost all raws should be back. Please report if you didn't get yours.
