Please format any bugs you find in the following format:
Bug
Where it happens
What happens



Please stay on topic in this PTS thread. We use bug reports from this thread to decide whether a PTS build is ready to go live, and so we need to make sure we're seeing everything in it. Please do discuss the changes, but if you find yourself writing about something that isn't specific to what's on PTS, then that should probably go elsewhere.

In particular, do not report bugs from the live game in this thread, unless they are impacted by changes in the PTS build.

    Known Issue: The Private Queue buttons are missing. That'll make testing them a bit tricky. We'll get another build up tomorrow morning.

    Hey, while you're putting in buttons(unless this has changed and I missed it) could you put one in to minimize that monster of a window? I like being in the private queue and such because it's not a PUG but I don't like being blind until it pops. Please. :biggrin:

    Yes--PLEASE allow the private queue window to be minimized or something. In its current state, I would never use it on Live.

    We are currently pushing FC.31.20131213.16 to PTS. This build restores the Private Queue buttons.

    The PQ window has an [X] button in the corner. That closes the window, but you are still in the Private Queue. You can open the window again by clicking on the (now yellow) icon in the alert selector, or the Private Queue button in the Queues window.

    Seems Fire and Ice is great in difficulty. I love it.

    Ok, did the livestream. Here's what I've got.

    Bug: While in the private queue you still randomly get the popup for the alert with the 0 seconds thing and you cannot join it. This can happen 1-4 times in a row.

    Otherwise....nice alert and fun stream. I saw all kinds of newbies there asking questions and such since it was their 1st time on PTS so it looks like this worked. :wink:

    P.S. Lordgar, that x out and it makes the alert thing yellow works nicely. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Experiencing incredible Server Not Responding issues. For no reason the server will put you in perpetual disconnect without going back to the login screen. This feels like what happens on live to a greater deal of players but much worse than ever. And its getting worse with each patch.

    We should get a bunch of players online and go do things that forced the server to ping. Spam the Undo button for powers. Do Tailor fixes. Change instances rapidly. See if these actions effect just you or other players.

    I have no such issues on the pts or live.

    They could be account exclusive issues. Its not the first time these kinds of issues happened. Its happening to players now on live. I haven't experienced these issues since the last time this was happening and now it happening on the PTS again.

    Even as I posted this I got disconnected.

    Why did my launcher patch the pts to version FC.31.20131213.16? Did I miss the patch notes for .16?

    I'll second what Buxom is saying as well. On live I've been experiencing this mostly when logging out of NW/STO and then trying to access CO/COPTS. It's, sadly, a wide variety of issues like...

    Launcher trying to connect...
    Could not connect to account server.
    Could not connect to character server.
    Error connecting to character server.
    Could not connnect to Login server.

    And then random SNRs. On both Live and PTS the SNRs seem to appear for me when interacting in any way with MC(the worst zone in the game for this kind of thing) be it entering, exiting, or sometimes standing around chatting. The issues are the same for PTS.

    I've also heard multiple complaints in channels, guilds, and fleet of people having the same issues.

    For the non-SNR issues it seems to clear up after you basically spam launch the launcher for 5m solid until it gets tired and actually lets you in. Also, if you're in one Cryptic Game and just spawn a second launcher all the way to character select you can then /quit on the 1st program and enter on the second and it will let you into the game.

    BTW, for data clarification...no, I'm not using ARC but I have heard some people complain about these issues who were using ARC.

    I know it's a lil on the vague side, but this is kinda the info I have on this. I hope it does some good.

    P.S. I've also checked my network, cables(replaced an old Cat5 just because), ISP, and various other things. Everything is coming up roses on my side. My internets are fine. :wink:

    P.S.S. I also tried the proxy settings and such in the launcher to no avail. Hey, it was worth a shot because it's been known to work in the past.
