Crafting bug, raws getting locked after combines

[Zehl_Ice-Fire]

<p>Sometimes after a combine a stack of a raw remains red, locked, can't use it. The fix is camping out and in or zoning, pretty annoying to do every half hour or so if it happens. This bug happened long ago for a short time, has anyone else experienced it this last few weeks? Yes I /bugged it.</p>

I'm also having another one I didn't bug yet but will later. I think I am getting this from hitting escape, but sometimes while a combine is still going on my crafting window closes and i can't get back to that recipe or any recipe (says can't craft 2 things at once) and I can't see the recipe going or its progress, the only thing I can do to save it is rush to my knowledge book and spam durability.

<p>Am I the only one in game experiencing this? /cry soe hates me....</p><p>1) Still have this problem, sometimes when a combine ends the raw stack is still red and locked till I zone or camp out and in.</p><p>2) My other one sometimes I think I hit stop or I'm not realllly sure what I hit (accidental clicks somewhere could be stop and repeat but other combine didn't stop) but my combine is still going, and my recipe book is stuck open, the close x is grayed out, escape won't close it, and I can't get back to the recipe.</p>

Don't see this on any of my characters..are you using a custom UI?J.C.

[Saev]

<p>I haven't got exactly what you got but I did have one case where between recipes in a rush order (of course) the system decided that the barracuda I'd already used were no longer valid for the recipe. I don't believe they were stuck at red though. Logging out and back fixed it but not in time to save the writ.</p><p>I haven't had anything like your second problem happen, although if I lose focus on the TS window (like by chatting) and then try to hit a number for a TS reaction, the system thinks I'm trying to use a regular hotkey action and odd things can happen.</p>

[Meirril]

<p>where are you crafting when this happens?</p><p>It sounds like either really bad lag or a connection issue is causing the crafting UI to error out. I can't be sure that is what is happening though. </p>

Did you have the crafting station targetted when it happened?  I know I have had some wonkeyness when I don't actually target the crafting station even if I am (arasai) standing inside of it.  The most common problem I have is a message of not being near a crafting station of that type (standing, as I said, inside of it) until I, not moving, target the station and try again.  I did have the red locked stack after finishing once, not sure when, and I didn't note if I had the tradeskill station targetted the full time (but hadn't moved in location at all) but I had been chatting while crafting and had to click my mouse pointer on the window (the chatting and returning the UI to focus is "normal", but it's after that).

The red locked mats I've had generally have to do with pushing "begin" to fast and in reality that can push it twice and sort of have 2 sessions in one going. Then when your done the raws locked til you camp or zone. (normally you notice the rounds coming twice as much if this is the case)

9 crafters, one for each tradeskill. I have never seen either of your problems.

It's an old known issue that, basically, only happens when you get going too fast.

A good way to get this issue to pop up is to hit a serious lag spike during crafting.  It happened to me a couple weeks ago.

Two of my guildmates had the red locked problem.  One of them had just bought a pile of carbonite off the broker and couldn't use it at all - even with camping in and out. I'm pretty sure she had to petition to get it fixed.  The other was an issue with him pushing things too fast. I've never had either issue, although I've failed a writ or two crashing to char select,  then getting the 'you have 4 characters, AB is DOWN' bug that when you try to get back in gives you the evil too fast message you can't read and then your at desktop.I think at least some of that is caused by my internet hiccuping though. Good luck in figuring out why this happens /hugs

I've had the locking problem, usually happens to me about once a week on any given crafter.

I went over there and watched it happen, but could not reproduce the same thing with my sage. However once my provisioner got up in that tier I did have that happen. Once I had that happen, I tried to reproduce it. i was successful in that and even got it frap's and in slow motion could see what exactly was happening in the process. I don't recall any mention of it being fixed, on the forums or patch notes. So I'm not sure if it's not an issue any more. The crafting window sometimes will basically hiccup and display the begin button twice even though you successfully clicked begin the first time. For me, I thought I just didn't click it so clicked it again and the process started. Though getting the round numbers doubled and raws/fuels locked when I finished.It was certainly interesting. I'm not positive that's it in your case. But it does sound like it.I was using the default UI at the time, but I do use Profit UI now.<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=HI6zgPTSnAc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://youtube.com/watch?v=HI6zgPTSnAc</a>I think around the third time or so you see the begin button hit and then the blank ui and then the begin window coming up again. Was very fun stuff.

I haven't hit the problem with raws but I have hit it with fuel. I run out of fuel, buy more and the workstation won't recognize it. I make sure I am not targeting anything, close the tradeskill window, then move the fuel to a different box and then target the workstation and bring up the tradeskill window. That usually fixes the "missing fuel" issue.

<p>Now that it is mentioned that lag can cause it, the locking stuff is probably lag for me! I am doing danak faction writs in Jarsath and it happens almost every other combine. The zone is always full of people and even crashed once yesterday.</p><p>Then I got on my tinkerer for a bit to finish her up to 400, in longshadow TS instance, and it didn't happen once.</p><p>After I got everyone to 80 I haven't crafted much so I don't know how much its happening to the others.</p>

I did /bug it in game too. Raws don't get locked anymore which is good. Here is how it happens:</p><p>When you start a combine, and change focus to another window (chat, look at something in a bag, etc), then you want to start spamming your reactions again, so you hit 1,2,3. You get the message "can't craft more than 1 recipe at a time" AND, you get a green repeat button while the combine still runs. </p><p>If you accidently hit it, you ruin your combine, it keeps going but you can't x the window or see the combine going anymore so you either have to back up to make it stop or have your reaction keys on a hotbar handy to blindly spam till it finishes.</p>
