Sorry for the language but, here we go a MF'gain...
Yesterday while playing the server crashed, not due to docking with a sh*t load of unequipped equipment this time, I was just flying through space on my way to NY, and boom! the server crashed. I went back later and everything that I had done was undone as if I never even played that day, all my money was reset to it's original amount even after making purchases, and my purchases where all gone. I was in Hamburg if I remember correctly on my way to Hudson at the Jump Gate when the crash happened, and when I went back later like I mentioned before, I was back in NY right where I started earlier that day.
I was so put off by this I just decided to leave FL alone for a while due to all the work I did that was undone, but when I eventually went back to play every time I picked a character and attempted to join, the server would crash. Last time this happened it was due to lost of unequipped cargo on a docked ship, that eventually got deleted by Admin(Thx much for that by the way), but now I don't know what's wrong. I do know this, the ship I was flying when the server crashed was my (Horus_]RoadRunner[), although it didn't have a lot of unequipped cargo it was carrying two things, a Shield power regen, and Gun power regen, that I was going to put on another ship I had.
Other then this I'm not sure what is wrong, but I do know that it is me once again crashing the sever, to test this theory of mine the time is 1:15 (UTC-6), and I'm attempting to join, check server crash times with my logon, it will be the same.

Hm we are still working to find the bug. Sorry we are not very advanced as its a bit tricky to find out. I assume for now that is a general "bug" of FL - hence its harder to locate.
I believe its not the number of items you guys have in cargo - no one even came close to that limit so far. Its rather a combination of equipped and unequipped - but thats just a guess.For now I would please you to take another account that will not crash the server. Thanks!
-
This kind of bug wasn't happening before the 1.9 version(not with cases where the player had barely no cargo), could it be related with some update ? Hook related ?
-
yes, indeed your account crashed the server during that time
I have removed one char and it should be working againThe same problem like we have with all other bugged accounts and we are not a single step closer to fix it.
of course it could be related to changes done on CF1.9... but... there were hundreds

Thread name changed ...
Hmm .. (IOC)Horus Hotepsekhemui:
How much chars you have on your ID?
After first problem ... you created another char on this ID?As far as I know that safe is have max 7 chars on one ID and if once happen that ID got bugged, then never add new char there (use NEW ID). I once lost my BS such way and keeping my storages on separate ID and having max 7 chars on normal ID results with no problems for long time. Maybe it can help also others.

Thanx for the info guys, and it sucks that I may have to start all over again from the beginning, but whatever.
I'll try my account again and see if that ship was the problem, even if it isn't I've already got started on a new account, but barely.
To answer your question Forlon I have 9, I was told you could have more, but it won't let me make any more than that.
I've had these 9 for about a week and half, and never had an issue, and the 9th character isn't storage it's a fighter for pvp.As far as ID Changer goes I just download it and I'm attempt to give it a run, but I'm not sure of what I'm doing and don't want to delete my original ID...
-
the number of chars of bugged accounts varies
-
Once more I'd like to thank all who responded and helped me with my issue which is now resolved, It was that character and I can get on now, if what you say is true Forlon I will be deleting two of my characters here and put them in a new account to stay at or under 7!
Mucho Thx to all, at least I don't have to start THIS character all over again.
-
Its not confirmed yet that those bugged chars have anything to do with the number of chars on one accounts. Thats just a wild guess. Well the risk may be higher - but thats also a guess.
-
I only know that all SA who had more than 7 chars on one ID (i.e. 8 and 9) had troubles with ID and lost char or chars. But it can be ofc coincidence. If there exist some limit, then with more chars must be chance for problems higher.
-
yes... that would be the logical conclusion
but how much is too much?
we dont know that yet and limiting accounts to 7 chars or lower makes not much sense if we dont know what can be considered safe
furthermore limiting the account to 6-7 chars works only on account which have not already passed this limit -
The general recommendation is 300 items per ID! Right?
If we accept that each character has about 40 items (included sefty factor 1.25)
get max 7 character per ID.
From reality I can confirm this when was eight character on ID => buged ID => twice
Seven char per ID => no problem at all (tnx FL god).
Also we should not exclude other factors.
ps
Forlon warned me of it long ago but the first time I did not listen. -
I have an 10 chars ID (since before 1.9) which never bugged, but some time ago I deleted one of them to keep them on 9.
-
300 items is already overloaded
-
Guess he meant the account with ID not the char. Assuming that, 300 items for the entire account is ok.
-
There's also an idea arround of 255 being as safe max for an ID, but I doubt it's related with the basic characters limit.
-
As far as I know that safe is have max 7 chars on one ID and if once happen that ID got bugged, then never add new char there (use NEW ID).

Important!
ps
yup Huor... ID= max 7 chars ----and on 1 char=i keep max 40 items monted/unmounted. And i hope to never write ticket "buged id".
