Bug Description:

Game froze for total of 3 minutes. When I logged back in I was respawned in the desert at game start spawn. I removed bracelet to respawn at my base. When I found my body it had travelled beyond the green wall to where I could not reach it. I lost everything I had worked for for the past 3 months. I was over-encumbered by it, it was literally everything that was not in my base. I have a screenshot of where your game moved my corpse too. South of the square that contains Derketo’s Pagoda of Boundless Lusts and to the east, grid o-4, but over the green wall. The character’s name is Valarian. Lootbag decay time was 2022.11.04-09.49.15 so character hit green wall at 30 minutes earlier and the game crashed to the desktop at about the same time. I want all items returned to my character’s inventory. It was your game that crashed/froze. My character was just jogging past the southern wall of Dagon’s Embrace. I did get a Battle-Eye error when I first logged in and it bumped me out to the game menu. I resarted and everything was fine till the screen froze for about 3 minutes. Anyway, this time I want my stuff back. It’s Funcom’s fault this occurred and I did eveything possible to recover my items. Your really need to supply players with a an automatic loot return when their body is unreachable, especially over the green wall. That should be simple. This is the third time I have lost everything for crossing the green wall due to a BUG. If you can replace everything lost due to the Bug into my character’s inventory, THANK YOU!! If not, well you really need to fix the thing where your character’s grave marker appears over the Green Wall barrier. That is so terrible to have the game function in that way. If the grave marker appeared on the player side of the Green Wall it would be correctable. It would be okay.gt;


Bug Reproduction:

Ran past southern wall of Dagon’s Embrace ruin. Had a Battle-Eye crash about 10 minutes earlier. It said wrong version number or something, but ran fine once restarted until the screen froze for 3 minutes and then crashed to desktop.d paste it into a new report. Thank you!

Your best bet is/was trying to summon your corpse with the loot using the respective sorcery spell. I suppose this is no longer an option due to the time that has passed. Just so you know, Funcom does not restore items regardless how and why they were lost. It is in the ToS.

I don’t have Sorcery Spells. I am a fighter not a sorcerer. I may try sorcery one day, but having this spell is not my responsibility. Funcom’s responsibility is to ensure that my grave marker/skull on a stick does not spawn beyond the Green Barrier Wall. That is so stupid. What good does it do if it spawns where no player is allowed?

My suggestion for a fix would be if you are killed by the Green Barrier Wall you respawn with a potion that allows you to summon your inventory to you. Simple to script. Give it a decay timer of 40 minutes so players can’t store them. Or (more scripting required) If you are killed by the Green Barrier Wall the grave marker/skull on stick spawns where you respawn. Both of these would require very little scripting. You just insert a boolean clause to say if player0 killed by Green Barrier Wall: then grave marker respawns at player0. TA-DA!! Problem solved.

I should have respawned at my base where my bedroll is, but the game dumped me in the desert because I was no longer online by then due to the Crash to Desktop. So why couldn’t the game rewind to the point where the game froze/crashed on my computer?

Also, when I logged in for the first time today I got the same Battle-Eye error about “Wrong Version”. I am using Windows 7 64bit Pro SP1, but this game was sold as a Windows 7 game. However, I just wanted the Devs to know in case that is what Battle Eye is referencing.

Before 3.0 you either had to bear with lag or glitches if your body ended up in the greenwall. Or, another way to retrieve your body was if you waited until your body itself despawned and the bag appeared, you could use a placeable to “push” the bag back to you and loot it quickly.

You don’t have to be a sorcerer by learning sorcery, you can still be a fighter. The advantage however is as @Narelle pointed out, if you find yourself in a situation like this use Summon Corpse to retrieve your body and you’ll have all loot on it.

At this point, especially if you want to be competitive in PVP, use all of the resources available to you. IMHO at least having Summon Corpse is important. You can also use it to funnel loot from one place to another.

Narelle is also correct, it is in the ToC pinned at the top of this forum that they do not refund loot for anything.

If you’re using an older OS and system, expect that you may experience issues like the one you’ve outlined. This game has been updated many times over and requires a rig that can handle it and the one you have may not be adequate enough unfortunately.

Greetings @Bladesaint,

Thank you for your report. Could you please share your character and clan names on that server?

Unfortunately, we can’t retrieve your items. However, we will investigate the case once the information is provided and try to reproduce it internally.

We await your reply.
