Predictive Algorithms Is Horribly Bugged and Stuck in Slot

porchsong

Predictive Algorithms gets permanently stuck in Starship Traits when you complete the Intelligence Officer tree for space and ground. So, you can not unselect it to only slot in the Improved Predictive Algorithms. Therefore, until this bug is fixed, we now lose one of the four Starship Trait Slots.

Now, you can select Improved Predictive Algorithms and it will move to traits, but you end up with two copies of Predictive Algorithms (regular and Improved), and the Improved version gets ignored and you do not get the 5% accuracy bonus. So again, you now lose a Starship Trait slot as the regular Predictive Algorithms is now stuck an unselectable.

The only solution for now is on your other toons is to UNSELECT Predictive Algorithms BEFORE you slot your FINAL ground trait and then the trait gets replaced with the Improved Version of Predictive Algorithms on the Available Traits list. This ONLY works on new toons, but we are currently screwed on current toon that gets bugged.

CRYPTIC please look into this and delete the SLOTTED Predictive Algorithm if an IMPROVED Predictive Algorithm is in Available Traits.

For all other players make sure to unselect BEFORE finishing your Intelligence Officer Tree.

Here's a screenshot to help illustrate the problem.

Predictive Algorithms was slotted but then removed from the available traits list when the Improved version became available, so there's no longer a checkbox to de-select it.

same issue as above, can not remove predictive algorithm, i am guessing that improved is meant to replace the first version yet i have both.

the difference being is that my improved is buffing torpedo high yield and BFAW and the standard one says its buffing nothing.

I also have this issue so glad its not just me

At least yours show. I opened all the space traits and I don't even see them on screen. Don't know why and I haven't been able to find info on it.

Thanks for the warning. I'd kind of hoped for the ability to intentionally slot both versions for +7.5% Acc and a 2 debuff cleanse per Weapon Enhancement ability, but a bug that locks the Starship Trait in place and only uses the lesser of the two sounds like something best avoided...

i reported this bug a while on the tribble bug forum back before DR was released.

Well got the same issue, it's stuck and no longer showing up in the Traits list.

Funny thing is, I've already added 2 bugreports about this and twice a GM got back to me and mentioned I should unslot the stuck trait... honestly do they even READ the bloody message? Even linked this post in the second ticket.

Bump for visibility - as I also have this problem

you MUST unslot the original one, or be stuck with it, before putting in your 30th point.

I wonder if a respec will fix it?

generaljester

I have been patient and waited and waited but sill this is slotted i have submitted ticket over it today submitted ticket ID #2,891,090 came searching here in a hope i would find a fix obviously i was wrong

granitechaos

Yeah! Predictive algorithms is bugged, I should have predicted this.


Know what could have fixed this?

The ability to respec Captain Specialization Points when using a Skill Point Respec is no longer available.

Captain Specialization points were not intended to work when using a Skill Point Respec token.

I have the same bug, I posted my topic about it here. I hope it gets solved soon since this is very annoying.

I found a solution in another topic.

Solution: Disable advanced predictive algoritms, then from right list drag&drop them to the old version (starship traits slot).

I can also confirm that this solution works.
