edited August 2013 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
So my klingon has plenty of ec. i decided to buy a rom operative boff for my romulan charachter. i pay the 750k... great deal im thinking. i click on dont join now etc and he is sitting in my boff candidate screen. i accept a bridge invite from a fleetie to trade to him so he can than trade to my rom.

boof gone....disappears. so i finally find him in my overflow bag. hmmm strange. my inventory is far from full. anyway cant trade him out of my OF bag and i CANNOT drag him to my inventory. it says "inventory full" so basicly i have an expensive boff sitting in limbo.

need help here

    Remember the following: Normally Boffs can't be placed in a player's actual inventory (The one exception is if you had one on the Exchange, the sale expired, and the system e-mailed that Boff back to you - if you take the Boff attachment, it will appear in your player inventory.)

    My question to you guys is: Is your Boff candidate roster full? If so, try removing a Boff from the candidate roster (put one on the Exchange, delete one you really don't need, etc.); then try moving that Boff in the overflow bag onto your Boff candidate roster.

    If that doesn't work, then yep, you have a nasty bug, and a GM, or other person from Cryptic support needs to help correct the problem. :(

    So if he was still a candidate, you could have just mailed him to your Rom.

    Same as OP. Bought with FED toon and now have 3 Romulan Boff's sitting in my overflow bag (the ones with Superior Romulan Operative, so really TRIBBLE off).

    Inventory has free space, as does station, can't e-mail, can't trade with another Romulan toon on another account.

    Have bought many Lethean Boff's etc. this way and no such problems.......so shouldn't matter that they can't join your crew.

    Whenever I have problems with the Overflow bag, I end up having to log out and back in in order to get anything out of it. Haven't seen that problem in a while, but perhaps that will work for you.

    I had full inventory when I completed a mission on my kdf reman named "Ghanima", so some stuff was placed into the overflow bag. However, now, I have cleared 21 inventory slots, and still nothing will come out of the overflow bag... I can't even see what's in the there; the button does nothing at all.

    Help?

    Error: "Inventory Full"

    Well, ofcourse you dont have to ask, I made space in both my inventory and bridge officer commission list.

    I read someone in general chat asking about this and an answer someone gave was to remove items from your device tab or console slots, log in and out and it may allow you to now move things out of your overflow.

    Not sure if that is true, but thought I'd say just in case it does help.

    For me it's a marks package and no, the suggestion of relogging does not help, nor does the suggestion of removing devices. More suggestions are still appreciated, however. I think the problem I had was when I first tried to take the item, my inventory was full, thus sticking it in a state of thinking my inventory was full even when it no longer is. Anyone know if recreating the problem (ie deliberately getting something else into your overflow) and then creating enough space, will fix it? I'm afraid to try... I don't want to lose anything ELSE important.

    It would be really nice to have a gm or dev or anyone important show some interest and reply here, even if it's just to say they don't know whats wrong and are working on it, or whatever. As it is there is no indication they even NOTICE.

    I've had this problem less than a week but it is not at all encouraging to see this thread going back months and nobody knows anything or has said they received any response to the (by now must be dozens, judging from this) bug reports filed.

    I even clicked the "contact gm" button. We'll see...
