Quite easy this one: Sealed Waterskin do not refill when close to a water source.
This “bug” is quite random, sometimes they refill, sometimes not, sometimes reconnecting to server is enough, sometimes I had to restart CE, sometimes the server. As with other bugs introduced in AoE Chapter 4, this seems only to affect “online play”, single player/coop seems unaffected.
Update: btw just moved a few meters in a river and the waterskins are filling, so I build new ones, moved to the old spot, and they dont fill. so it seems the game have a problem recognizing when player is close to a water source.
Also it happens on games with or without mods and if CE was patched or freshly installed.
Greetings Valtaya!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
In order for our team to properly assess your issue, please give us the following information:
1 - When you’ve attempted to play on an Official Server, in which one have you spotted this issue happening?
2 - Could you please send us a screenshot of the map, showing the location where you were unable to refill your waterskin?
Not playing on an official server, just my own run by the “DedicatedServerLauncher1705.exe”
A screenshot is pointless, its completely random. I have 2 wells in my base, it does not matter where I stand around them, or even inside. And the spot in the river that did not work when I wrote the initial post works today.
Whatever, I stand at one of the wells and the x marks the spot where it did not work yesterday.
I’ve had this same bug (on Official PvE server 1500); it seems to be caused by the same thing that is causing all of the “inventory bugs” (the item sorting feature/ function); it seems to take up all of the server’s/ game’s runtime resources and leads to dropped calls… eventually cascading into “all kinds of other problems” (like not correctly loading mesh coliders and thus causing the “falling through foundations bug”) and ultimatly crashing the server/ game.
I’ve also experienced this on 2505. It seems to only happen to me when my inventory is glitched which often causes items to not show up in my inventory even though they should be present.
