Strange numbers

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Not sure, whether it is something to do with the recent patch, but I have come across a number of occasions where rather the system advising what we have just received in loot it appears to be advising of what we already have which is starting to cause confusion, is there a chance that someone can look into this?

    I can second that there are some strange high numbers being shown in the chat window for most numeric drops. Things like R&D Salvage or Dyson Command Credits are showing thousands for the former and hundreds for the latter in chat messages, but, at least for the Command Credits, what you actually get is within the expected range.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    I can third it! I previously posted about the Dyson Credits doing the same thing.

    It is definitely reporting Inventory numbers and not the pick up numbers. The correct amount is being awarded or looted or purchased but the report on that in the Chat Flyup is not that number but the Inventory number after the addition.

    This is probably related to the UI Performance Changes they made in Thursdays Patch.

    It's not just the loot i bought 3 x 1 item of the exchange and it showed i got 6 cause it added the first 1 with the second 2 and third 3 and told me i bought 6 while I in fact have only 3 in my inventory.
    C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.

    "Loot" as in anything you pick up and that enters into your possession: actual loot, rolled-for or not, things you bought or traded for, bought or took off the Exchange or out of your mail, and so on.

    You can reproduce it as described here: Loot Item Aggregation Numbers Bugged

    Yeah, definitely introduced with the last patch.

    Easy way to reproduce:
    1. Open Replicator
    2. Ctrl-Doubleclick on any commodity to replicate a single copy of it.
    3. Watch loot tooltip in the bottom left above your chat window showing a single copy received.
    4. Now repeat Ctrl-Doubleclicking on the same commodity to replicate more copies while the loot tooltip is still there.
    5. Watch the loot tooltip showing exponential bogus numbers of the replicated commodity received.

    It seems to go as follows: 1 -> 3 -> 6 -> 10 -> 15 (actually received: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5)

    So, apparently, previous number shown in loot tooltip plus new actual total of item received.
