Huge door bug

Veteran · 2003-11-12, 11:33 AM

I was attacking a locked NC continent alone and I got the Technology Plant with no trouble. Then, after the capture, I went to the bases linked to it and tried to get in, but every single door in the facility was green and didn't open or respond to the REK.

Needless to say, this bug will require a hotfix as soon as possible, so expect one today.

Anyone else seen this?

I had the opposite happen last night, I was attacking with a squad the last VS held base on Hossin and all the doors opened for my, even the back door, but the place was under power and not hacked. I wasn't complaining... but that's the first I've seen the "reverse bug"

Oh lovely... The door bug was what made me stop playing for five months... Then I just come back and it comes back with me.

I had the reverse bug last night, too. Went with a few people to a CTF base just in front of the base that we were in the midst of hacking to get a jump on things. Didn't encounter the enemy, but I was in a MAX suit and able to freely walk in and out of the base before we were even able to hack it. Weird.

As long as they get that dang vehicle terminal bug fixed I'll be happy. Last night while waiting for my AMS after a capture vehicles would appear on the creation pad and just poof. I know I was 1 of 32 at one point. When it came time for my AMS to come up nothing happened. Very fustrating. LoL, Hamma was there too. People kept shouting to repair the terminal. Was chaos..a well placed OS would have netted 40+ kills.

I have had enemy towers doors open for me without hacking scores of times

Fix for the Vehicle term is to kill it fully and repair it. If you're at a dropship facility (air pad and vehicle pad) you have to kill both all the way and repair them. It's worked for me everytime I've had the bug happen and managed to actually kill and repair the terms. Admittidly very hard to do when there are a ton of people trying to get vehicles who aren't squadded/in your outfit though.

I wonder - if none of the doors open, what would happen if you were to buy a vehicle from the underground garages?

Would it just autodrive forever?

i hope you guy are sending your /bug reports so SOE can fix the bugs

Last Ask the Devs they basically said there are a bunch of little door bugs and they are too busy cranking out expansions to rip off their subscribers than allocate programmer time to fix them all.

Marsman · 2003-11-12, 10:23 PM

Ah not exactly true - he said there are a bunch of things that cause door bugs and they are extremely hard to de-bug due to the dozens of conditions that surround the problem, but they continue to work on tracking them down and have already fixed many door bugs already and will continue to work on that problem. It's not just a matter of throwing a programmer at the problem.

This isn't your regular old doorbug though. This is a situation in which, to your screen, all terminals become green, instead of your empire's color (as if it were neutral, but it isnt). This has happened once to me before, and I thought they got rid of it. It was sort of as if I had joined the common pool team

Woah....What would be the Empire-Specific Weaponry for the Common Pool empire? :wtf:
