Inventory Weirdness

Post by Kreetogg » Sat May 01, 2004 4:53 am

Back in the day a DM fudged with my inventory (gave me some items). Things went crazzy, and I couldn't do anything with it (equip/unequip, see any entries, etc...)

Eairlier today this happened as well after heading out of the spider caves on Elysia. I could use my inventory, barter, etc...

Has this happened to anyone else? I know its a Bioware issue, but at least if I know what triggers it here, I can avoid and/or expect it.

BTW, I have to relog to fix the problem.

You could use your inventory, but you couldn't do anything with it? It could just be lag...

I can't say that I have had that problem but I will tell you something that frustrated me for weeks. I would be playing along and then try to left-click drag things around in my inventory and the game would crash. The end result was I had one of two RAM modules going bad in my machine. I removed the faulty RAM and never had the problem again! You may want to check on the integrity of your RAM.

If its not lag and not RAM, you could ask a DM to try removing the item. For instance, I picked up something one time (on a different server) that was tagged (according to a dm) as no drop... something happened then where I could see it in the inventory but I could not move it around. It was a nuisance. The item was heavy and I did not want it. A DM had to remove it.

There are many bugs in the game such as if someone heals you just at death (-10) you may be alive full healed and game shows you still dead on the ground. Sometimes logging out and back in is the only option. Ofcourse, that causes server lag and folks get made about that.

Good luck.
