Midnight patch screwed up my toolbars

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
1. All of my space hot keys were rearranged when I logged in after the patch. My carefully laid out 1-bar was scrambled up and dispersed all over the 2-bar and the 3-bar.

2. My 1-bar in space consisted of all ground attacks upon logging in.

3. My 1-key on my 1-bar in space is Jab, a ground attack, and it won't go away. I can't drag and drop it off the bar, and I can't replace it by dragging and dropping a space ability on top of it. So I am left with only 7 usable hot keys on my 1-bar for the moment.

For that matter, what is up with the toolbars in general? In WoW, all toolbars were 1-10, plus minus and equal, for a total of 12 keys per hotbar. In STO I am limited to only 8 keys per bar if I choose to display only 1 or 2 bars, and only 10 keys per bar if I choose to display 3. Furthermore, every time I zone (which is, you know, all the time), my number of toolbars displayed always resets to 1. Fail.

Fail fail fail.

I want to like this game, Cryptic, because there's a lot of potential. But if basic HUD functionality is so clunky and buggy, I can't even enjoy mindlessly blowing stuff up. And that sucks. :mad:

    Please go back to WoW. Every damn patch I had to update an addon (yeah add-ons because their default UI sucks) and every time I had to rearrange my toolbars.

    Get over it.

    Shut up. Your opinion is worthless. I'm tired of you stupid fanbois saying "Go back to XXXX" every. single. freaking. time. someone takes issue with something Cryptic is doing badly.

    G:mad:round abilities cannot be removed from the space ablities tray.
    I have tried changing instances; logging in and out; going to ground then back to space. no help.
    Dragging and dropping does not work. Neither does drag and replace.
    Force varify was no help.
    This makes the character pretty much unplayable.:mad:

    what does updating addons have to do with this games hotbars not working? You might be fine with having to rearrange your tool bars everytime you zone, but there are others who arent. Instead of being a troll, why dont you add a constuctive comment bout the OP's issue, which is completely valid, to bring up on the forums.

    To OP. My Fleet leader has this same issue. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a current fix to this. If you havent already submit a bug report, contact a gm, do whatever it takes to hound the TRIBBLE out of cryptic. Maybe we will get lucky and they will finally get it that they need to be doing more than just this stupid add stuff and break more stuff situation we are having to deal with.

    I've filed a bug on this for you - but for now, if you are having problems with your powers - please try this. Go to OPTIONS - KEYBINDS and then try to Restore Defaults. Then do the same with OPTIONS - CONTROLS - restore defaults to see if that helps. Also try zoning to another system.

    Thanks, I'll try that. I appreciate the response.

    Tried this and numerous other things.
    (Re-equipping everything, switching characters, and anything you can really think of.)
    No dice. I was able to assign the powers again EXCEPT the first slot, which is still Jab.

    dstahl---I tried everything you suggested, plus exiting the game and logging back in. No go.

    It appears to affect only the character that I was playing at the time of the server crash. The rest of my characters have the right 'space' toolbars.

    I wasn't logged in when it went down, but only the last character I was playing was effected.
    I had last played sometime the day before-ish.

    Software has been alerted of the issue. It may take a little bit to track this down.

    I haven't tried moving them but some of mine only work by clicking on them, I can't use the keyboard button to activate it. Looks like they tried to fix the disappearing buttons and made it worse.

    Several people have reported this in IRC, apparently the fix is to try several times to remove them off the hotbar and replace with the correct ones. The key was to keep trying and it would work, apparently those in the chat room were happy after doing this.

    Sorry.. not taking sides but this..

    ROFL!

    If these types of comments are going to be the product of your fighting, then keep feuding. I'm always down for a good laugh.

    Have you tried changing ships?

    Doesn't work for me, sadly. I can't remove or replace Jab no matter how many times I try. Bleh.

    Edit: Nevermind, it FINALLY worked. I'm fixed. Thanks.

    I was finally able to remove Jab from my space toolbar, but then something else weird happened.

    Upon logging in, I had one toolbar on display and it had all 1-10 keys displayed. Yay! Then I switched to 2 toolbars and it went back to 8, and when I switched back to 1, it still displayed only 1-8. Boo.

    Same issue here and it can not be fixed. I have tried everything to remove Jab from the toolbar and it is just not possible. I noticed this doesn't happen in my original ship, just my Science Vessel.

    I have tried changing zone, ships, and resetting hotbar to defaults. The only way to make a workaround for this for me is to change the keybinding option to 1-4 then move the action bar to slot 5 since its empty and drag my commands there. This is very inefficient and I hope Cryptic can undo whatever they did to damage the specific ship that was assigned to you when the patch hit.

    I also have this problem, I'd go back online and try everything you guys said that I haven't already, but my internet has decided that STO is too much for it tonight. I can barely stay on the forums. But, thanks for the advice. I'll keep trying to get rid of that pesky Jab when I get back on.

    Same issue here....

    I also was on when the servers and/or network crashed. Seems to be only affecting players who were on when the server crashed last night.... I went to bed then and woke up to the hotbar issue.

    I also cannot unequip Jab from my first space control toolbar slot.

    I am having the same problem, except that I cannot restore my original toolbar because my toolbar is stuck to the ground setting so that the hotkey 1 cannot be changed from the default melee action........ Not good.

    This is what I did to fix it.

    reset all your setting to normal. Zone into a new zone and then back then log out, back to the desk top, then log back in. After i did all that I could move the jab key and put all my space stuff back up.

    Yes I know MAJOR pain but it worked for me.
