Lost Bastion Shield

======= NOTICE FOR HELP =======

=> Trisant

Server? (EU or NA or RE EU or RE NA)
=> EU RE

When did it happen? (Use server time: type ingame cb:time)
=> Around 11:30 PM EST

On which Playfield?
=> Beta II

Structure Name(s)?
=> I was in my main CV "Big_nasty_loaded_v1

Structure ID(s) (Open ingame console and type di)?
=> 1840673

How can we help you now?
=> Please there has to be some way to track this, there just has to be some way to get it back… Last season it was 2 aux cores… There just has to be some way to get it back, there has to be a log or some sort? these major items just disappear due to a glitch? and it cant be undone? I am hoping HWS can help, This has been my main server for many seasons… I am hoping this can be tracked and found… When I logged back in after the crash, it was gone… It didn’t drop, it didn’t go back into my container… Its just gone… :frowning:

sadly this happens with every item, not just the super expensive. the item drops to the ground but because of the game crash, it falls through to oblivion because the playfield unloads when u leave. unfortunately there are no ā€œlogsā€ of this. the admins probably will not replace unless u have a video showing the ā€œadventure.ā€

Its impossible to have videos, who knows when this stuff occurs, i have witnesses that i had this shield, this is also the same ship i had last season! With my Bastian Shield… I have over 9k hours logged into the game and i am a patreon… along with my cousins that play with me… I shouldnt have to argue that im missing something that took massive hours to acquire has glitchrd and been lost… This is the second time & 2 seasons… Its unfair to not have support. We should not be so very anxietal when handling these items… Its suppose to be enjoyable, I am hoping HWS can help… This is a good server! Ive brought many players here because its a good server 3 pf which all pay patreon… HWS is our home, it has to mean somthing for help when in need…

I hope you know that your financial and time support is more appreciate than we could put into words.
It’s the reason why HWS can be running.

When we ask for a video or screenshot it’s not because we don’t believe people. It’s because we are just blind and we want to reconstruct what happened. Always in the hope, that we get more information, that we can send to Eleon to get this finally fixed.
Restoring items, every single time, is a fight against wind mills. We need to tackle the issue at its root.
I know, that feeling like an Alpha tester isn’t fun. Same counts for us. But it’s the truth with this game unfortunately.

Anyways, with a lot of time investment, I can of course try to reconstruct the steps you did. The time, you are basically paying for, right.
For that, I would need to know:

  1. You had the Bastion Shield in a connected (yellow) toolbar, right?
  2. From what structure / logistic did you pull it from? What ID/name?

I would then try to find the backup from that structure. Spawn it. Check if the Bastion Shield was inside.
Try myself to do what you did and then see if we might be lucky and have a reproduction case I could send to the developers, to get it finally fixed.

Thank you Rexxus for your consideration in helping with this matter… My CV ID number is 1840673 =, The incident occurred ar approximately 11:30 - 11:45 PM Est time. Any back up of my CV before that time will show the Bastion Shield in my ā€œInput Cargoā€ along with 10 Large Aux, 10 Quantum Cores, I also had 12 Heavy Lasers, 4 Heavy Artillery cannons, 5 or so Heavy Rocket Launchers, ect… Heavy Durable Armor and other misc items, I was in Alpha start system before rejoining my faction on Beta 2 for supplies for closing up holes, gather some resources to create Multi tool…

I was connected to my input cargo 1682/containercontrollerlarge/250 0/029/-15 to start sorting, organizing to make room for input crafting items, I had selected my captains cargo 1682/containercontrollerlarge/250 0/030/0 to place gold, incoming credits, I had just moved 5 quantum cores which you can see are still in the container, as I selected the Bastian Shield to drag over to my Captains cargo the game locked up as the item was suspended in mid transfer… I was forced to restart the game, this actually happened 3 times over the next 20 minutes… The only casualty was of course the Bastion shield… out of all things a 60 million dollar item on the market…

The shield would be present in any back ups of my CV in the ā€œInput Cargoā€ before 4/16/22 11:00 PM Eastern time for sure. Please note that I just spawned the blue print 4/15/22, my faction took me to ECC to retrieve my items from OCD just before I spawned in the blue print 1840673 near the UCH vessel in Aplha Starting system. Lastly the incident occure when i travel to Beta II where I am located at now…

I am hoping for a happy ending… And I hope the information can help Eleon come up with a way to save in reverse and detect crashes and loosing items… Like i have indicated its the 2nd time… First time was 2 Large aux cores, same exact scenario, game crash! I also had a ticket out for that incident, it was never resolved… This one here is much more significant. Thank you for your efforts & time… I wil indeed be looking into a way to video record while handling these items in the future… Seems like it only happens when something is at stake like these items, at least for me…

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation and details of this incident.
It helped a lot to make it easier for me to reconstruct the issue.
I indeed found your Bastion Shield in the backup.
I then tried to connect myself via wifi, put the bastion shield in my connected toolbar and instantly pressed ALT + F4.
Unfortunately this didn’t count as crash/disconnect and I still found the item in the connected container.
So we are still looking for a reproduction case for the developers.
I gave you the Bastion Shield back in your inventory now.

For the future… can’t really give you advices except a video for faster reproduction case.
At one point, we have so much cases and material, that Eleon needs to check this with higher prio.

Good evening Rexxus, I appreciate your solving this, honestly I really do, It does help to know that there is some sort of support as we navigate through these issues. I am in game now in my CV, I do not see the shield anywhere… In my personal inventory or any of the cargo containers.

-Trisant

killing process in task manager may count as crash…

I gave it to you.

But you revealed us another bug… if a player is offline, we give players a different item ID than it really is… :expressionless:

once you are online, ping me again here and I give it to you.

Hello Rexxus, I am online now… Thank you…
