[major] hindering "players online" screen appears suddenly in process of the game

Post by tangar »

Sometimes when I push ctrl+[number[ (for example ctrl+9) - party screen appears (some times its help screen). I have to push ESC to close it and then push that combination of keys again (and it works after it). Algorithm:

I want to use rod and push ctrl+9. "Players online" screen appears. I push ESC and push ctrl+9 again. Now its works.

It happening from recent times (~1-2 weeks or so). Its happening ONLY in the dungeons and not always. I cant reproduce this bug.. I tried a lot of stuff, but it just doesn't work when I want to reproduce it. At first I though its a problem with my macro, but I've checked them and deleted all macro which I added recently. Problem still exist as you could see in my streams...

Anyone got such problem? Is it problem with my client or more players have it?

If anyone has idea how to fix it - please help.

I have similar problem- it first appeared a few months ago while playing warrior- when I pressed F1 ("l"ook macro) and then F4 (resistance pot macro), instead of drinking resistance i got screen with online players. This was happening 100% of the time so I learned to press F4 after looking to get rid of the online screen. Apart from that, I sometimes get online screen when playing paladin even without using "l"ooking macro. Hope this helps.

It was very helpful, indeed. Thanks!

So its a bug it seems. With your information now I could reproduce it. I have "L" macro at alt+2... After I push it, any other action like ctrl+9 cause annoying screens.. So its a problem with "L" macro.

My "L" macro is:
# Macro '94'

A:L
H:^_Ax50\r
How to solve this problem? For me its appeared very recently, but I suppose that I use "l" for a quite long time.. May be I didnt noticed it cause I used "L" not to often and now I play at high lvls and use it almost every time...

p.s.
I've just tried to make macro more correct macro for "L" - \e)L\r , but it didn't help.

As for now, solution is do not use macro for "L" command...

This is a "critical bug", as it could wipe a character if your escape macro fails. Happens to me too often with half my macros. Another top killer is the "window focus loss", where for no reason the client loses focus and every key you press results in hopeless beeps. That's probably a Windows compatibility issue, no idea if it can be fixed...
