hi Sometimes it happens that I leave a party, it gives the impression that I left it and it doesn't appear in the party list either But the party bar is still stuck. The only way to release it is to reconnect I would be happy for your inspection
i have evidence of the party bug error but i am unable to upload as forum seems to be blocking my upload. I pm-ed you
If a party member log off before the party is disbanded, later when this member logs in again, he/she and other members' party maybe bugged. If you do the cc (one or more times) - remake party - leave party, another member's client could be frozen... I reproduced this on different PC's. Spoiler: looks like this L1 client closes. L2 client freezes, and later closes. L2 and L3 shows different servertime cuz L3 is still alive (did not show pt bug). It happens on the PC that never crash at VL too. Leaving party (or disbanding) before logging off may avoid the problem.
I noticed a new kind of bug yst. Accepting the party invite command while there is no space left results in the user being in a "hidden" party group in which the user is unable to leave - as there was none to begin with - and it was rectified by changing channel. Unable to confirm if other alternatives such as dcing / entering new map, results in a fix
The party bug glitch is something we’ve been trying to replicate for literal years now, and not having much success in figuring out what causes it. I personally have been documenting every single time I’ve triggered it since 2020, and I was only able to replicate it once on our test server– which wasn’t enough to determine where the issue was because in order to fix it we need to be able to replicate it over and over again with near perfect accuracy. What we think could be the potential steps to replicate it: -partying up with other people/mules. -finishing party content. -logging out without leaving the party, or cc’ing and leaving the party on a different ch than the party leader. -party leader cc’s and disbands party, or party leader is not on the same ch and disbands the party. -player that logged out/went afk on the same ch either logs back in, or cc’s to a different ch. -party bugged. Even doing all of that for testing purposes, it still sometimes doesn’t always trigger the party bug. We need players to document what happened after they joined the party, and what happened when the party got disbanded. I think we have about 50% of the puzzle pieces in order to fix this issue, but we have some missing links somewhere so it’s not currently 100% replicable at this time on our end. Some questions to ask yourself when experiencing a party bug: -Did you log out while still in the party? -Did you leave the party and log out after? -Did the party leader cc to a different ch? -Did they disband the party on a different ch? -Did they disband on the same ch? -Did you do other content, logged out, and then logged back in before reset and still trigger the bug? If you think it’s not worth mentioning (trading someone, faming someone, going afk, etc.) mention it anyway because it might be related, and one of the conditions needed in order to trigger the glitch so we can replicate it and work towards fixing it. Theories: I have a daily reset theory, but that’s only because my bs is retired to bossing mule status, and I usually log out on with it still in the party. I cc on my main, disband the party and do something else, and when it’s time for reset to do bossing again my bs is party bugged maybe 6/10 times. I’ve documented what I’ve done prior to joining the party, and what I did after the party on my bs but it still isn’t enough to replicate. We need more sample sizes to rule out what's causing this glitch, because the fix we pushed out recently clearly didn't work. We tried to fix it without being able to replicate it 100% of the time and with the little information we had on hand about it, so now we need more in-depth steps documented to be able to fix this correctly.
Tried to track a bit more but this happened very soon so I'm writing it down. Made a party with my bishop(pt leader) + bucc to door my bucc to 5th tower to help LHC party (which I was joining on my shad) with mobs pushing. Realized I've triggered a bug where bonus exp is reduced to half on those mobs touched by my bucc. Moved my bucc back to 5th tower. After the 1 hour run, I disbanded the party and cc16 on bishop and then bucc. Both bishop and bucc got the party bug. Did you log out while still in the party? no Did you leave the party and log out after? no Did the party leader cc to a different ch? yes Did they disband the party on a different ch? no Did they disband on the same ch? yes Did you do other content, logged out, and then logged back in before reset and still trigger the bug? no logging in/out or server reset involved, but I do agree these 2 are the common patterns and we can't simply rule out by this single case bucc has gone into/out map that has a timer set Also I've noticed there're times when this bug can be triggered from some party that happened several days ago which you don't even remember what's the party for, maybe a random APQ party. So I'm going to add this question: Did the same composition of party members happen in previous sessions, not limited to the past 1-2 days? maybe yes
Update Patch #96 We think we may have finally solved the Party Bug issue after countless trial and error attempts. We were able to replicate it consistently on our test server so we pushed out a fix hopefully fixing this annoying bug once and for all. Please let us know here if it is fixed, or if you notice any wonky mishaps so we can look into it further. Thanks!
