Loadouts won't save?

pino31pino31 Member Posts: 105 Arc User
I am spending more time replacing my loadouts back to how I want them than playing the game because every time I switch ships my whole loadout gets screwed. What is wrong with this and WHY is it taking so long to be fixed? It's been doing this for YEARS!!! Is it just me or a bug? Can someone please help?

I really don't get to play the game because of this. It's making me really regret spending 200 dollars in the C-Store recently. Since I spend all my time adjusting loadouts on the new ships I bought. I never get to play with them in the game. I'd really like some help with this please!

I tried to put this down in the support threads but I can't seem to create new conversations. Is that normal???

    Loadouts are tied to specific ships. When you buy a new ship you need to set up the gear, stations, skill bar, power levels. Then you should save the loadout for that ship while in space not on a ground map.

    It's like dave said, loadouts are tied to the specific ship. You have to set it up again on the new ship. That's not a bug.

    There is no issue, the Doctor has spoken:

    Great, someone with my problem. Same ship, sometimes when I login the loadout has several powers missing, sometimes reputations items are missing too. I respecced and set everything up, gave a new loadout name, saved, then switched ship and then back again, everything fine. I login today and the tray is messed up. Glad I found this forum, any answers?

    First read this: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1167886/bug-reporting-not-in-this-sub-forum#latest

    Then post in the proper bugs subforum for PC, Xbox or PS4: https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/categories/sto-support

    In your thread try to write out a detailed recipe for the sequence of events, and list details of how your loadout was messed up.

    I know this is general discussion but I feel like when I complain here, even in the pc bug section, everyone wants to think I'm just stupid or it's my fault or something and passes the buck. Like I'm here trolling support forums for fun. Here's a video of the loadouts feature being broke. Now do you want to keep treating me like I'm stupid?

    This bug has been plaguing me since the loadouts feature has EXISTED. It's not because I don't know how to save my loadouts, it's not anything I'm doing to make the game be BROKEN. So here's a video. This has persisted across multiple clean installs of sto across multiple devices including my most recent bran new gaming machine I purchased to make sure it wasn't my fault. So.....FIX IT PLEASE??????

    https://youtu.be/v19ibjsnmro


    This is video evidence there is a bug. I am not STO support staff or developers or coders. You need to go into your product and work out a fix!!! I've now done my part since mere words were not enough. See it for yourself.

    I've submitted tickets in game. Had conversations with support staff (want a copy of the emails? I'll forward them to you!)

    I've submitted this pc bug thread at this forum as advised by staff and I don't think anyone has even bothered to look at it, and haven't responded if they did(This is not the first support ticket I've filed concerning this issue, it just constantly keeps getting ignored because everyone thinks I'm lying or something I guess):

    I've been trying to get support to help me with this issue for literally YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I've been giving my money to other MMO's instead of this one too! ;D

    i have had similar issues also, or when I change maps weapons/ consoles become unequipped it seems random

    im not sure why you dont use the button at the bottom that says "save to."

    its very small and i cant see for sure what is coming across the screen.

    I could be wrong but it looks like he is loading per-existing load outs not trying to save a new one

    I call upon the guardians of this realm to wield the power bestowed onto them and use to banish this necro demon into the nether realm in which it can not return.

    I'll arrange my abilities and traits the way I want them and save the loadout. Then later after I log off and back in, and switch ships, whatever ship I load, loads with jumbled loadouts. When I click the load loadout button, it flashes my saved loadout in front of my face for a split second and then goes back to the jumbled incorrect loadout. (as demonstrated in the video of the bug I provided above)

    The loadout feature is broke. If it's not broken for you it's broken for me. STO would rather call me a liar and ignore me for years than address the gameplay bug though. I guess ethically it's okay to do that if it's just me and not you too.

    THANK YOU!
    MY GOD I'M NOT ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This happens with loadouts, traits and yes even consoles.


    For me it happens EVERY LOGIN THOUGH
    (if i switch ships of course)

    None of this has happened to me when just changing maps though. Only when I've tried to switch to another of my ships.

    @pino31 don't bother with this forum, just use the bug support in game and a detailed follow up in the support section, then hope Devs receive enough reports of this utterly BROKEN game to maybe some day begin to fix some of it, at a rate faster than new game breaking bugs show up.

    Reddit STO is also a bit better as players actually report their experiences with such long standing gameplay problems unlike here for reasons you're already familiar with. You're already doing what countless others & myself have done, take your time and funding to other MMOs that work better and more worthwhile of it and you'll be better off.

    Also, there is no solution or workaround to this bug no matter what others claim. Whatever used to work, now does not. Every time recently a Dev plays with one system or another, it breaks completely and permanently. Again, see reddit for more accurate and up to date information.

    If you have a bug to report, then please report it in the proper section of the forums and include as much details as possible, and using the in game bug report function.

    Also please watch when the thread was last posted in. Most of the time if it is over 30 days... it is Necro territory. This one was last posted in... July 2019?!
