game saving twice each lvl

#1 Post by Tharsonius »

anyone else got this? i got my settings to save each lvl, and it saves 1 time when i enter a new level, and another time when i make the first move. seems like a new issue

€dit: another thing, im in temporal rift and 2 of the telugoroths had a huge window as description - the upper part showing the normal description of the monster, the lower part a insidous poison infusion. there was no insidious poison infusion on the floor and it was 1 ultimate and 1 normal of the brown ones. i made a screenshot if needed but anyone encountered this too?

Screenshots when posting about this kind of thing are almost always helpful. Just try not to break the table.

Reason I say that is because I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
And it was such a good idea...

yea sorry my english isnt best. what does break the table mean?

ill try to explain but its both minor stuff

1: when i enter a new area the game saves twice for many areas - which is not a big problem but takes more time for changing levels

2: i encountered 2 telugoroths who had a description as if a insidious poison infusion lies under their feet, but there wasnt any. in temporal rift first level where only rare mobs drop any items

screenshot:

this occured after casting an attack spell and autotargeting. i think it didnt show when hovering with the mouse over the monster

when i left the level my inventory and transmog chest were completely empty there werent any items

the window scrolled up and down and showed the full description of both the monster and the infusion

I think only first one is save, and second is uploading character to server, no?

In the times of the beta version, each save seemed to be done three times. But presently, I haven't noticed this double message.

Breaking the table in this case means to have an image that is wider than the default width of the forum. So basically, the image you posted is wider than the default forum width, causing a scroll bar to appear at the bottom of your browser window, making you scroll to the side to view the entire image.

I'm still not sure about the double saving thing. Unless you're talking about the "Saving" under your Vim bar and the Saving that comes up as it's own dialogue box. I get that every once in a while when I'm rolling through areas too fast. Basically, I change zones in the middle of a save. The game forces me to stop whatever it is I'm doing long enough to save and then lets me back into do stuff. If this is not what you're referring to, please provide a screenshot. Smaller this time, so it doesn't break the forum tables.

That second issue should definitely be reported in the bugs forum for someone to look at.
And it was such a good idea...

Game Menu / Game Options / Misc
Save in the background
Zone save per level


For me it only happens if you have both of these enabled.

The Zone save per level seems to interrupt the Save in the background ( which is the yellow one that show up as a part of the resource bar); so that instead of filling up the bar it stays at 0% and doesn't re-engage until you manually do something ( such as moving or even hitting the print screen button) at which point it starts saving.

It definitely happens when you exit a dungeon and come up to the world map.

If you disable the Zone save per level, the background save works fine ( if that's your kinda thing).

thanks for replies. ill just turn off that option then. also edited the picture to a link.

the saving issue is the thing wolls described. dont think a further screen is necessary

i think the 2nd issue doesnt have any negative impact on gameplay, but its a minor bug it seems. ill post a topic.
