Reputation System broke

Omega and Romulus Reputation system is now broke for me. It says Remaining: Finishing and Progress 128%.

So I can't drop the project or start a new one. Just great. Thanks Cryptic.:mad:

    Same here, so far I haven't seen any sort of temp solution. They really should fix this today.

    So casual players who have not lunch reputations projects at time can continue to contribute, but no "pro" players could not contribute... great ! :mad::mad::mad:

    Changing maps from DS9 to Sector fixed this issue for me. Though it could of been fixed by leaving DS9.

    Every single one of my toons has this issue. Every one of their rep projects is stuck on "finishing" 128% with at least 2 of the contribute buttons lighted even though they were already filled.

    What on earth did they break this time?

    Our engineers are on the issue, and actively seeking a solution. We'll update you all as soon as we have something concrete. Progress has already been made, though.

    The cause of this appears to be projects that had <20 hours remaining on their countdown timers, when the requirements were reduced from 40 hours to 20 hours.

    Will an emergency patch go out to fix this, or will we have to wait until next week?

    Sounds about right - I'd just queued projects on all of my characters (before the server downtime) so they had 35+ hours still to go - they now all show 4 hours remaining.

    because

    time_remaining-=20

    and
    if time_remaining<20
    time_remaining=0 *
    else
    time_remaining-=20

    are not the same thing.

    *Also, edge cases since you operation takes a finite time to execute and you need to make sure it can't end in a failure state (in this case the easiest resolution would have been to set them to a say 5 minute timer, and no one would know differently).

    Please advise when we can expect an update to correct this issue. Obviously valuable time is being lost in not being able to begin new reputation projects, which delays our toons' progress.

    Except the patch wasn't supposed to reduce the times on the currently ticking projects. At least that's what the patch notes said.

    Projects that weren't filled yet, however, would have the stuff reduced appropriately.

    What I can't figure out is HOW THE HECK DID IT HAPPEN IF IT'S THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT'S EXPECTED???? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    One of my romulan projects just ended (the other has 10 minutes left) and I was able to start the next project right away, with the new 20h timer (so working as intended for me). That means that not everyone is affected by this issue, and it may be a local problem, and not something to do with the servers.

    My main toon istuck on bot Omega and Romulan on both projects, started them yesterday was suppossed to get to 14k XP almost to tier 2, now they are "finishing", Omega is at 128%, Romulan at 130%.
    .
    Other toon is stuck in 1 project, completed 2, and didn't fill rom. marks in 4th one. complete chaos there.

    Ok so both of my projects that I was running have finished and I've moved on to the next ones (with the new 20h timer).
    I didn't do anything specific as a workaround for this so I'm thinking that some people, for whatever reason, weren't affected by this bug.

    Another quick update:

    Our Engineers are about 95% certain that projects reporting this issue on the UI will still complete when their 40 hour timers have ran.

    There is also a functional workaround, where running an Elite Mark turn-in project under the Omega Reputation appears to "kick start" these frozen projects into their proper state.

    As I said before, we're still investigating a true Software-based fix for the issue, but these workarounds may help folks that are experiencing the issue, until that fix can be pushed to Holodeck.

    I had a similar result with one of my toons. I only had one Romulan Marks project running before the patch, and that one project showed "Finishing" with 128% complete. After I started a second Romulan Marks project in the free slot, it kicked the other project to finished status, and I was able to start yet another project.
