Batteries/ Other Consumables Vanishing From Bar *Resolved!*

dsarisdsaris Member Posts: 374 Arc User
edited November 2013 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
After today's patch, when I click my bar to activate a battery (shields, engines, weapons, etc.) the stack of batteries disappears from my bar. They remain on my ship in the device slot but do not appear on any of my trays or anywhere in the menus to drag back to the bar.

Please fix ASAP.

    Confirmed, yet another hilarious bug out of nowhere.

    If you unequip the stack of batteries and equip them back, the power will reappear (until next use).

    Edit: Good News! Using a Capacitor does not unequip your Warp Core :D

    Same problem, happens with any consumable device (non-consumables like subspace modulator not affected). They reappear upon map change.

    Ground is also affected.

    Item stacking problem.

    Related bug:

    If you have a stack of items in your Inventory, and need to use them, you can only use the first one. In order to use others, you have to MOVE the stack to another inventory slot, then use another, move stack, use, and so on. Discovered while trying to activate boosters.

    I've had the same happen to me on ground with Large Hypos. The only way to get those to show again at quickbar after using one of them has been to move the remaining stack of hypos from device slots to inventory and back to device slots again, and since one usually has to use hypos in combat, such back-and-forth hassle can be really annoying to say the least.

    Can confirm that. It's not just in space. On ground my stack of hypos disapears as well after I've used one.

    That's a -big- confirm here.... >_<;

    Also effecting Turrets in Device slots...I always keep a stack equipped for ship combat....
    When in doubt...Gravity Well TO THE FACE!! :D

    Yep, batteries and hypos for me. I was doing space combat and had that happen with my shield battery, but a map transfer brought it back. Then I was on the ground doing the Voth stuff in the Dyson Sphere and, every time I used a hypo, it disappeared from the tray and from my list of things I could put on the tray. Since I (obviously) wasn't transferring maps to get them back, I had to keep unequipping and reequipping them to get them back on there. That's really fun to do in the middle of a warzone, by the way. :rolleyes:

    This also happens with Large Hypos. You must re-equip the stack after each use as they disappear from my tray.

    Not only that but every time I train a skill that skill is removed from my bar, very annoying to say the least because then you think...ahh finally got that skill trained up fully and then you get into battle and you don't even have the skill slotted..:eek:

    Very glad to see I am not the only one with batteries disappearing I thought my landlord was going to be knocking on my door pretty soon because of my cursing at them damn batteries! I would leave the system replace them and think .... ahh finally got them back, use them once and gone again! Then I would think wait a minute I thought I just put them back!?!?!?

    lol

    Well move it out of your database into production and then make a nice EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE for it!!!!!!

    I was quite understanding of all the bugs from launch since they didn't affect the gameplay as much as this one. But i just can't understand how can you break something that's working fine while fixing other stuff.

    In any case I hope I get to see a nice patch for tomorrow yet again, and don't even think you guys are going to leave us with this to deal with over the weekend.

    I ran a quick test earlier and found that if I had a stack of large hypos in my inventory and a stack in a device slot, then the icon would not disappear from the tray when I used a hypo.
    I took the stack out of my inventory (onto a BOff) and tried again and the icon disappeared from the tray.
    I returned the stack to my inventory (and the icon back to the tray) and tried again and the icon stayed put again.

    Hopefully this will help as a ground workaround in the short-term until a full fix can be implemented.
    (Remember that you only need 1 hypo in your device slot to be able to use all the same sized hypos in your inventory and they will be used up first)

    Good to hear, bit of an annoyance, especially since my latest character has been abusing batteries like... something abuses batteries? Not sure where I was going with that. Still, cheers!

    Settle down, kiddo. This isn't a huge, gamebreaking bug and it isn't causing your ships to spontaneously be covered in plasma fire from their own weapons. (which is a bug a friend of mine has run into, something about the plasma infused science consoles applying the effect to their ship.)

    Happens with every consumables in both space and ground modes.

    they fixed that already. and they need to fix this battery issue as well. in space it is not that gamebreaking, I will admit that (even if I am heavily relying on them), but on ground, the hypos for anybody but a sci (or maybe an eng) - so atleast 85% of the playerbase - is in their build, and need it. considering we just got a huge ground map, I would say, this is gamebreaking, since you have no way of healing yourself, if you are not good at blindly multitasking
