New KDF Bug with Costumes team is investigating

mreeves7a · October 2013

After playing the new FE "Sphere of Influence" I notice my outfit had been changed to my 1st costume (I had been wearing my second costume/outfit). Now, I cannot change it back to my prefered look. Had to change my 1st outfit to copy my second...

onyxheart1 · October 2013

i have this same issue, i played through the FE and my costumes no longer will change, i can click to change costume all i want. but the costume stays fixed on my first costume.

i've already had to use additional costume slots because my original two costumes bugged out and were unusable, now none of them work.

come on Cryptic, fix these bugs already, they keep cropping up

garakfan84 · October 2013

Also having this issue :mad: I tried "refreshing" one of them to see if that was the problem; made the purchase but it stayed the same, at least it didn't charge any EC.

grimrak1 · October 2013

So I did Sphere of Influence and noticed that after I went through the first gate I had my costume swapped to one of my others. I could not wear the original costume after that.

Second time and now I can only wear one costume. Can't change to any of my other costumes, can't even modify them at the tailor.

UPDATE I can now wear my first three costumes. I have to manually select them though, they can't be accessed through the "/setactivecostume 1 0" "/setactivecostume 1 1" "/setactivecostume 1 2" commands.

UPDATE 2 I have somehow received 4 additional costume slots. Have't tried to do anything with them but they definitely weren't there before.

battykoda0 · October 2013

Manually as in go to the tailor and "wear" them because I cannot change them from my right-click on my icon. I am down to one uniform now.

trygvar13 · October 2013

I have the exact same problem. I'm stuck in an outfit that I had not worn in a long time because I hate it:mad:

ardhen1 · October 2013

Glad to see I am not the only one with bug.

I also have been switched to my #1 position costume, I can not change it even in tailor. When I go to tailor shows I switched costumes, however when I leave the tailor it defaults back.

Also when I have my Honor Guard MK 12 armor Visuals Enabled, it only shows half the Honor Guard Costume. The lower half is my costume from my default costume slot.

So another big bug introduced. This is the only female toon I own, the one I have done the most with on costumes and the one I really care about. But this will happen to all my toons as I cycle through the FE?

So now I can start my favorite quote.

"If this bug gave us 1 extra dilithum a day there would be an emergency patch in an hour."

Since I was given an infraction here for stating an opinion others agreed with and Cryptic finally bowed to (splitting the space+ground old stf into either space or ground).

So I fill but report #2 billion or so (really 2 million) knowing it will never get seen or taken care of, that sadly Cryptic does not care about their player base. Yes we got a new carrier then we got stuck having to buy lobi ships to complete the set.

trygvar13 · October 2013

Same problem. I can use any of the costumes on the top row but my favourite ones are on the bottom row... and I can't use them anymore.

mrspidey2 · October 2013

Same here. After beaming down on Qo'nos' Academy (after having finished the FE), my costume was locked to one that I wasn't even wearing at that moment. Now I can't change back into the others.

irwin109 · October 2013

I had no problem last night (UK) after completing the FE, no problem on my first Fed' or Fed' Rom' toon this morning, my KDF toon went from Honour Guard to Off Duty (Costume 3 to 1) when beaming from First City to the Academy but could change back, my KDF Rom' was fine on the Academy, beamed to New Rom' Command and it went from On Duty to my Crimson Conscription Uniform (Costume 4 to 1) and can change between CC and Formal, but not On Duty, Off Duty, Republic or Tal Shiar, even with switching maps, can't even change it using the wear button in the tailor. 2nd Fed' seemed fine but he didn't move from SFA, 3rd Fed' toon again seemed fine but didn't leave SFA.

Note: My KDF Rom' already had a uniform I could not rename or alter, which was reported but never fixed.
Note: I did not check if I could switch costumes on my Fed' or Rom' Fed' and din't check if I could switch to my other costumes on my KDF.

I plan to run the FE and HaM on my toons so will update after that if things change.

Ok, after running FE and HaM:
Fed' toon 1: All costumes work fine and I can switch between them no problem
Fed' Rom' toon: All costumes work fine and I can switch between them no problem
KDF toon: All costumes work fine and I can switch between them no problem
KDF Rom' toon: Still can only change between costume 1 and formal

erei1 · October 2013

Same problem on my Klingon. So far, my others character are not affected, but it may change (some ahven't played the mission yet).

If I update the costume I'm stuck with, it will change accordingly outside the tailor.

Everytime I try to switch my costume, I have the sound and animation that play for my gambling device, just like when I switched my costume before the bug. Which seems to mean the costume change was notified by the game, but not "delivered".

suaveks · October 2013

So basically not only Cryptic still haven't fixed such an obvious bug that's been present for months, but also made things worse?

Well, I guess the good thing is they may now be able to locate the source of the problem, if what you're saying about the bug appering after the FE is true. That is, as long as they're looking into it in the first place.

Now I wonder if I'll lose even more costume slots if I play the mission on my alts... Some of them are already useless and locked since LoR launched.

battykoda0 · October 2013

I now have 2 dead costumes that have "invalid parts" when I save them. You can test them by saving them from the selection screen, not from inside the editor screen. It will scroll about the invalid parts. The only costume slot working is the Uniform (slot 1 you start with before you get offduty clothes from talking to the tailor or joining a fleet). This is on a Joined Trill KDF and an Orion (KDF too if you don't know :P). Also, the broken uniforms replicate. There are now two copies of the broken uniforms (5 total uniforms showing when I only own 3) and every time I do FE, I get two more. They are invisible to the game as well, after FE I have 2 available costume slots that I can create a costume into. But as soon as I save it and exit then beam out or otherwise change maps like to the shipyard or academy, I will be back in Uniform and the other two broken.

Only apparent work around is to visit the tailor and load whatever I want to wear into the Uniform slot and to NOT go back to the FE. Like I said above, every run of the FE replicates 2 broken and dead costumes into my list.

hotelkatz · October 2013

I'm also undergoing the same costume problem as everyone else is going through, though mine happened when I visited the bridge of the ship.

betanem · October 2013

Yeah I got this bug too, on my kdf romulan.

grievas · October 2013

same problem here, so far only on my KDF characters.

It invalidated/reset my costume slots. So although the old costumes are still visible, I cannot activate/edit/rename any of them but instead I have costumes slots unused so i need to create my costumes again.

taya4svk · November 2013

I have this problem too on my two KDF characters. In one scene in Sphere of Influence the outfit just changed and now I cant use any of my other outfits at all. Cant be changed through tailor either.

hippiejon · November 2013

Adding my post to those affected by this bug.
Maybe now that the FE caused it , they will figure this out.
Happened to my KDF toons first not with launch of LoR but rather the last featured episode. Now they are bugged even more.

monkeybone13 · November 2013

Add me to the list. I am NOT happy. :mad:

Just found this out on my female orion character when trying to switch to one of the last few outfits I have created.

Counting the 3 free costume slots, I have a total of 27 outfits created. I can no longer wear the last 4. I also have 6 unused costume slots giving me a grand total of 33 costume slots. :mad:

I haven't tried modifying outfits, but I imagine it will be the same problem that everyone else is having.

How the hell did this happen anyway? In Sphere of Influence, you are NOT given a temporary costume of any kind (like the jumpsuit you wear in Temporal Ambassador). There should be no reason why your costume slots break like this.

Edit: Before this all my costume slots worked fine (except for the fact the damn game can't remember a costume slot is an off duty, formal, or other special outfit, and when going in to modify it the damn thing resets it to a basic uniform). But as far as modifying, creating, and wearing, I had not many problems.

irwin109 · November 2013

So I just got on my KDF toon who could use all his costumes yesterday and now I can only switch between costume 1 (my old on duty), costume 2 (off duty) and costume 3 (Crimson Conscription) I can't wear my other 4 outfits, one of which being my Honour Guard costume, please fix this! I was thinking of buying more costume slots but with this happening I'll wait until this has been resolved.

Brandon, or any Dev' for that matter, could you please confirm you are aware of this matter and looking to resolve it? As it's been stated a smaller version of this bug happened with LoR and was never fixed, it seems it's only got worse with the FE release...

aleaic · November 2013

I lost the ability to change into my full adapted elite Honor Guard costume, after leaving an ISE run, with only my fleet Bortasque and regular costumes available, no options to return, or even reset my character costume, to get back my STF costumes on my KDF toon.

Not happy here folks. Colorful metaphors included here. :mad:

warchun · November 2013

Same bug here, although i found that i can eddit the costume (which i'm forced to wear) at the tailors

erei1 · November 2013

It may be related to using Honor Guard/MACO/OMEGA costume during the FE.
My only character affected was wearing the Honor Guard, while the other were not wearing any of those.

Can others say this is a pattern in this bug or not ?

My KDF was wearing KDF but my other characters (Romulan, Reman, Gorn) were not. The bug did not happen at the same time for everyone. On my first character it happened the 2nd time I beamed down to a planet after the FE. On my Klingon it happened the moment I entered the bridge of the Obelisk. On my Reman, the moment I beamed down on a planet after having done the FE and for my Gorn I don't remember. But it all happened after having done the FE. My Korath uniform looked great on my Klingon. I payed Lobi to get it. And now it doesn't work? It would be nice if devs could at least let us know that they are working on the problem. Or at least aware of it.... This is a serious game breaking bug. And it seems to only affect KDF and KDF-aligned Roms.

doffingcomrade · November 2013

Bad Things happen if you appear to be wearing anything except Costume 1 when you try this.

Thanks for the reports, Captains, and apologies for this issue. The team is investigating.

Cheers,

Good to hear that, Brandon. Hope it will get fixed asap.

jeffel82 · November 2013

This happened to one of my characters this week, as well.

And I've been affected by the locked costume slots for months (and months, and months...).

Edit: It happened to two of my characters, both KDF, but the costume did not get locked the way some people are reporting - I can change costumes (with the exception of costume slots which have been bugged and unusable for months, which are still bugged).

traynn · November 2013

You can add me to the list of people effected by this bug. Since yesterday I've only been doing this mission and the bug happened afterward to my KDF Orion female character. I noticed the same costume change when I beamed down after the episode was over and ended up with unusable slots I can't wear, on the next run I had even more locked and only two left usable.

I don't want to start create any more duplicates until this at least fixed to stop happening any further as from the experience of others it can keep occuring and already has to me since yesterday.

meedacthunist · November 2013

Same bug here, on KDF Orion character.

Played this mission three times with this toon. Now only working costume is my first slot.

Also, the same bug on my KDF-aligned Romulan character.

Played mission only once with this toon and again, only first costume slot is working.

Edit: this bug seems to show only on KDF, but I will not risk my Fed playing this mission to test it.
