Thats funny... your Rufus quote links to the OP which does not contain the same quote...

Some one else said they were having problems with the guild search loading, but I dont think its given me any trouble.

For the first time it happened that I got the visual tileset, and the folks who came to my house saw the same... normally it would just 'act' like it was snow tileset - people would appear to skate and such...

Alas, when I logged back on today it is changed back :(

So, I'm unable to place the "Red Lobster" furniture item in my house (or GH). I select it, press add, it's removed from my inventory, I close my inventory, and no lobster on the ground. Upon opening back up my furniture inventory, the red lobster is still in there.

It would be nice if this could be looked into. I tried selling and re-buying the furniture pet item. Still not working.

It's more than likely not just your lobster pet...
Have you tried placing any other furniture item in the same room?
Does that room already have tons and tons (about 600ish) of furniture pieces?

Awhile ago, I had a similar problem where I couldnt add any more furniture to my outdoor level of GH (I had between 600-750 furniture items). The furniture would disappear and not be replaced in inventory. Dusty investigated and couldnt find anything in the coding that could cause this.

So i just have to be cautious where i put furniture now.

Stefan supposedly fixed this.

No, that's not the issue. I'm able to place any other piece of furniture (including pets) with no problems. And I've tried placing the lobster in multiple rooms of multiple houses (regular and GH), none of which I have anywhere near 600 furniture items. This bug only applies to this one piece of furniture. And I'm starting to think no one else has this problem.

While I'm posting in this thread, I'd like to bring up the issue with the 1-2 second "freeze" that occurs every now and again (sometimes more frequently than other times). It was mentioned in another thread but the thread was not for posting bugs. I thought this was just affecting me until someone else mentioned it. It's not a huge deal. Doesn't bother me too much, though it has contributed to me losing a bee or having my gralats taken (when farming), so it is an annoyance. Is this issue known? Is there any particular reason it's happening? Or is it just a side-effect of the greatly increased playerbase of Classic.

One final thing, I could have sworn I purchased the white halo hat years ago, but I currently don't have it in my hat inventory. I recently started playing after about a 2-year absence. I did notice that my hats were in a slightly different order. Is it at all possible that one or two could have been accidently removed? I know it's still in the game because I saw someone wearing it. I contacted toonslab but they said I must be mistaken. Though I was also inquiring about a head and some furniture items. I believe I could have been mistaken about those, but this hat, I'm so sure I bought it. I was reminded that it was sold at mad hatter's for 2500 gralats (I believe?). I had more gralats than I knew what to do with back then so I bought any hat that interested me (including some much more expensive ones) and i was definitely interested in this hat. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for the long post. I didn't want to double (or triple) post.

My lobster is fine.

And lobstery.

iDevice freezing
 

I'm not sure if this is a bug related problem or not. In the past 2-3 months, a lot of idevice players have been experiencing their screen freezing whenever they spar, walk, pk or guild spar. At first I thought that the freeze was because of the older generation devices(2g,3g,4g) but every player who uses a 5S is experiencing the same problem. The freeze happens every few seconds or minutes depending on where you're walking towards and etc. Like in pking, you could freeze every 5-10 seconds due to the amount of players moving around you. But in Guild spar/single spar, you usually freeze when you're about to hit your opponent or when you're running towards them. I'm not sure if any staff will see this thread post but I hope the problem gets addressed soon, or at least by the GST on May 31st. Down below, I posted a video of how the freeze looks like. I don't know how to explain it because to a lot of people, freeze is communicated as lag or bad internet connection/wifi.

Please watch the video in 1080p b/c its clearer :smile: The freeze happens at 0:06 and 0:20.

Thanl you for posting this, people have been waiting for months for a fix to this

pretty sure it's nothing that the staff can fix because it's lag on the client side which usually has to do with your device itself running Graal poorly, it doesn't have to do with your ping to the server

it only started happening recently so maybe something was added to a server-wide NPC that has caused it

It used to run perfectly now I have to re-install it every few days or I freeze every few seconds

It could be something that could be fixed if it's a script doing some intensive things... but it'd have to be looked into to find out what scripts could be causing it.

Does it also happen to you?

yeah, I meant that as an exception if it wasn't a hardware thing

it never really happens to me, I use PC
it's mostly iDevices that complain about it

The video is good, and I didn't assume people meant lag, and it's not like I don't believe the players.

The issue is that I have an iPad2, and a lot of people who have complained also said they have an iPad2... and I have not personally experienced the issue. That's the good thing about iDevices, they all share the same hardware so it's easy to narrow down bottlenecks and whether or not you're pushing the hardware too much. The fact that I don't experience makes it very hard to narrow down the issue. I'm essentially following a very messy bread-crumb trail to just investigate an issue I may not even be able to solve even if I figure out what it is.

The more details, the more specific, the better. What device you use, your OS version, your Graal version. What you were doing when it happened. How often does it happen? Is it random? Does it happen like clockwork? Does it only happen when you do this specific thing?

The only thing that seems to be linked so far is sparring, but then a lot of people complain about it while PKing and such as well.

The more specific it gets, the better chance I can hopefully replicate it so I can debug the issue personally.

Android galaxy s2. gingerbread os 2.3.5, newest version of graal

I have experienced it a lot probably 4-5 months of it now and it is somewhat random but it happens everywhere spar, towers, graal city and the spikes last just as long as in the video. Usually uninstalling the app and deleting all the files clears it up for a few days then it just gets worse and worse until I reinstall

It doesnt happen much for my iPhone 4S, most current iOS (i dont remember what current version is, 5? 6? 8?)

It does happen on my iPod 4, previous iOS

I think it has to do with loading other players? The freezing happens most frequently when a) I first log on, b) enter a tower or other crowded level that I havent been in since logging on (after the first freeze up, it usually doesnt happen again in same level), c) when a new player you havent seen since logging on comes on your screen (i noticed the freeze ups start again mostly when a guild that wasnt there before attacks a tower, or when new pkers enter the tower).

The only thing that is against this theory is that I dont experience a crap ton of freezes in Graal City. Yes, I freeze a lot, and players take a second to load in graal city, but its not like absolute hell or anything that I would expect.

Device: 4S
Version: 1.9
iOS: 7.1

I use both zoom in, and zoom out. It freezes when I'm walking alone with no one on my screen(not slashing anything), and it freezes when there's a ton of players running around in towers(slashing around). So I'm not sure if the amount of players on our screen has anything to do with the issue. It could be a walking update(?) that messed it up or something related to walking. If i sat in the same spot for 10+ minutes, I wouldn't notice any screen freezing. It also freezes regardless clockwise or counterclockwise. Found a video on March 28, 2014 of me gsing with my partner. There was no lag freeze!

Should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting.

Ok not sure if this is a bug , but on my ios device sometimes I serch for a guild and when I press go it sends me back to the main guild menu , I have to perform the Serch multiple times for it to work ( does not happen every time but very often )

I ran into an issue with the 'editor view' mode in house design the other day...
When I came back to the world map I could not tap my character or others, use sword, items, etc, much like in the editor view.

I THINK recreation steps might be
1.) turn editor view on
2.) select an item of furniture (one which had been placed)
3.) leave area...

or something to that effect.
Anyway, after heading back into the house and toggling the editor view a few times,
it seemed to correct itself.

Bandit Caves- the room with the pushing-boxes maze.

When you relog in this level, you are supposed to warp back to the door. However, this very rarely works. It's easy to get stuck; a bandit kills you, all the boxes you have pushed are reset, trapping you in the maze. It's annoying having to unstick and return.

List of solutions in order of efficiency:
-Make it where this works correctly (relogging in this level warps you back to the door)
-Shuffle some boxes and barrels around to make it possible to get through the maze going either direction. So it's possible to push the boxes to let you out if you die.
-Make some stuff at the top-left push-able to be able to exit the maze from the top, creating a one-way circle.

Small glitch whenever I goto snow and then unstuck me the ugly skates are still on.

The skates still show up while in any building in snowtown.

Skates should be fixed.

if you get stuck, you can use the 'Unstick me" command.

Also, interestingly, if a character who has a 2-person mount happens by, they can 'invite' you to jump on their mount to help you escape from the box maze!

Issue is, it should work correctly. The fact that it does not is one of those quirks with the Graal engine. I will have to take a look and see if I can actually resolve the problem.

The main culprit here is death. Like I've posted before, Graal does not like death... death causes bad things to happen. Again, this was the main issue with CTF and the boosting issues. Dying resets the level, but does not consider you as having "entered" the level. This is how you were able to get stuck.

I have changed it to warp you outside of the treasure room when you die, as Graal was having a fit respawning you at the entrance. Let me know if there are still issues.

The only problem is, when you die and warp, you respawn with only .5; another major fragile thing about graal deaths (.5 respawn happens with any type of warp after dying).

Maybe model this from tower deaths?

Sadly no one has found a way to overcome this bug, and Stefan has never responded to my e-mails about it. Again, this is why CTF was closed. .5 hearts is just the most obvious side-effect of the bug. There are a lot of creeping effects that occur alongside the glitch that aren't quite as obvious.

there's another peculiar one (might be related) where you swing the sword, even in non-pk areas, after you press the 'enter' button while chatting or sending a message... it can get annoying to have people claim you're "hacking" or something when they see this.

I still see people doing the identifying glitch.

Sometimes when I play, the game stops loading for a couple seconds and the only person who can move is myself. It seems everyone else gets stuck in place and sometimes everyone disappears at the same time altogether. Then after a long pause they usually return or the game crashes. This also causes screens to not load and I can't enter any new areas like buildings or caves that I wasn't already in. I think the game is broken :/

THAT HAPPENS WAY TOO MUCH TO ME

I have experienced this problem as well. Sometimes when I try to search for a guild in the database, it just sends me right back to the main guild menu and I have to re-type the guild name. Sometimes it will happen 2-4 times in a row before it actually searches for the guild name and it's really annoying. Could you try to see what's causing this?

This happens a lot more on PC with me then iDevice.

Thank you very much for fixing this issue, along with other issues you've fixed recently (like being warped out of the box room in the bandit cave when you die). It's very nice knowing that someone is listening and taking measures to fix these bugs.

However, can we get back to the 2-3 sec freeze issue? It could very well be my imagination, but it almost seems as though it's getting worse. I've experienced this a lot lately and I've definitely noticed certain times when it happens. Someone mentioned that the freeze seems to occur when a new character (or characters) appear on your screen. I think there's a lot of validity to this. For example, when I'm bee farming in the spot to the right of Brothers soccer shop; The only time I ever experience the 2 second freeze is when someone new walks onto the screen. It never happens when I'm alone or even when there's other people standing around. This seems to be the one consistent factor in this bug. For whatever reason, when the game loads new characters on the screen, it'll sometimes freeze everything for 2 to 3 seconds. As has been pointed out, this is a client-side issue. And it hasn't always happened. I can't say when it started because I quit Graal for 2 years or so and this bug has been occurring since I started playing again 2 months back. Please, please look further into this issue. I know I don't just speak for myself when I say this severely gets in the way of me fully enjoying my Graal Classic experience.

My specs:

iPhone 4S
IOS 7.1
Latest version of Graal

Someone feedbacked that it was also happening when they played Zone, so I'm skeptical as to whether it's anything that can be fixed on the server.

I'm not sure if this was already reported as I didn't read the previous posts lol, but I noticed some bugs on Facebook client.

First is that the dragonfly's shadow shows as double of the dragonfly sprite, blurred, and it only shows as normal when facing right.

And I also noticed that the church in York Town is not showing, I tried relogging but it still doesn't show the image.
http://i.imgur.com/HuPgoxE.png?1

These bugs only show on Facebook but not on iOS client.

Fixed, dragonflies now have a predefined shadow for Facebook users.

Should be fixed now, hopefully?

-If everyone on your screen freezes, but you are able to move; that is just a client lag spike.

-If your screen freezes, and you are NOT able to move; that is the problem most mobile device users have been experiencing for several months.

-When "everyone disappears at the same time;" I think that only happens in overcrowded areas. It only happens to me in graal city.

-When you say menus wont load, and you cant enter buildings; that means youre disconnected. Its been happening to me randomly too lately; Just restart the app.

-And on top of that, Ive been noticing signs of server lag; laggy baddies, random occasions where it takes several seconds for people to warp after dying in a tower, etc.

Can anyone confirm or deny if this freeze issue also affects Zone? It's not an issue on Era, I can tell you that.

The thing is it's not reliably able to be reproduced, meaning there is some unknown factor coming into play. For example, people say reinstalling Classic fixes it and then it eventually returns.

When it's being reported on iOS and such that's a good thing. The iDevices aren't diverse in hardware like Android/PCs. That means it should be able to be narrowed down on whether it's a hardware issue or not.

But I have an iPad2, and I've seen plenty of people report that it happens on their iPad2... and I can't reproduce it. Considering it's such a very specific issue that occurs somewhat randomly in very quick bursts makes it difficult for me to narrow down when I can't personally experience it and try to narrow it down.

Sorta random, not sure if it's a bug, but, the christmas tree furniture item doesn't have the option to change it's layer

This is intentional. Some furniture wouldn't work if you could change their layer(because the furniture itself relies on other items having an appropriate layer).

While we're talking about furniture and layering, the floating red & white tire thing (that was sold at Nexus some time ago, and you can see in Oasis, although not purchase) has this issue where it automatically defaults to layer 1 (which screws it up since all chair-type items need to be set to layer 0 otherwise they appear on top of the character). I switch it to layer 0, but when I enter my house and come back out, it goes back to layer 1.

The heart pot furniture item has a similar problem (except it reverts back to the first layer the moment you de-select it), although I'm thinking this might be intentional. If it is, it would be nice if you guys could just remove the layer option from this piece of furniture.

Can we report things more important than some random furniture item from ages ago not setting to the proper layers?

That is a bit ridiculous. We should encourage our development team to focus on solving major game errors and developing new content. It is like you guys are trying to find anything possible to report here.

House design happens to be one of my favourite aspects of Classic. Just because it doesn't affect you, that doesn't mean it's not worth fixing. I would never post something just for the sake of posting something.

._. I wanted to use it for something, and it is a bug I'm pretty sure, so yes, I'll report it. If they don't wanna fix it that's their choice, not sure what the problem is.

New contents? You mean like towns with random buildings? They haven't even release Destiny yet and it's been there for ages. Plus people will get bored of the new contents (if they release some more) very quickly and beg for more contents. If they release new contents with some cool items like gravity boots and such, then it's worth waiting for. But 99% of the time, the "new contents" are collectables.

I am more than capable of prioritizing bugs and content. Just because it gets posted here does not mean I will NEED to fix it. Consider it a catalog, so there is no harm in posting bugs, even the most minor ones. Especially since the minor ones can be fixed relatively easy, and do not really push back the development of other content much at all.
