Online Status in Fleet Roster Error

mattachine

Please, could you find the time to fix this years old bug?

Members of fleets read as online in Fleet rosters even if they aren't.
They read as online 24/7.
No matter if you reset the server or bring it down for maintenance.


We're not the only fleet with this problem.
Here's an example:

This bug has been around for years and the only difference is that after some updates/patches the member that looks like they are online but aren't changes.

Sorry, but no, not win. FAIL.

Neither of your posts have anything to do with the problem mentioned in the OP.
So keep it to private messaging or other threads, please.

Ummm, dude, you're NOT getting any other replies, and it was meant in a humourous vein. So it's hardly distracting someone from possibly replying to your postings.

All I know is that you are the only person reporting this problem and if it was really broken then we would be hearing a lot more about it, because it is a vitally important part of fleet management.

So I have to ask the dumb question now. Have you actually clicked the box that says "show offline members."

Not distracting, no. but posting junk that have nothing to do with this bug.
As for getting replies. Cryptic almost never replies to bugs, at least that is my experience.

Yes that was a dumb question.

Why no one else reports this? Could be that they over the years given up on getting this bug fixed. Other fleets have it too. I know from talking to their leaders.

Does kicking the stuck member resolve it? If the member is kicked and rejoins, is he still stuck?

I know that if the user has set their options in friends setting to anonymous they still appear as online in the fleet window. Try pming the member and see if you get a user is not online message.....

We had a couple of captains in our fleet who appeared in the fleet roster but not on friends lists... one was genuinely not online the others were just trying to hide.

Well as a leader of two fleets myself, all I have to say is that I have not encountered this bug since they fixed it before Christmas. And I am on every day. And I have not seen anyone else report it since the fix was brought in either. I think the problem must be on your end.

mattachine

So that is why everyone in our fleet can see this player reading as online in our roster but as soon as a /tell is sent to that player the response from the game is:

[4:02] [System] @xxxxxxx is not online.

Yes, I'm reporting a bug that has been fixed.... I don't think so.

Maybe the bug you're referring to isn't the bug I'm referring to?

We have an other problem that all our officers also are experiencing, so again, that is it is not just me. That problem is, and has also been reported, that our custom chat channel will not let anyone of us unmute two members. First it was just one, then while we tried to unmute that member the problem multiplied with 2.

So yes there are bugs and I'm not the only one. I am happy the bug you're talking about got fixed. These two haven't and are a big problem.
