Void Bug

[LadyJo]

So.. We usually have a party that go through ladder.
As you know void goes up in stages and everyone has to be in the room when the boss is killed,
We usually link our coordinates in party chat to really make sure everyone is in and so we kill the boss, However,
countless times, people have been stuck in a room (even when they've linked their coords and i killed the boss) Sort of like a dimension thing lol, that person is in the same room BUT not in the same room...
Could you guys really fix this? cause it's a pain and people are missing valuable levels on it.
Thank you

Could you possibly provide a video depicting this issue?

Indeed this bug exists - happens to the void party I go with as well.


That being said there is a way around the bug. First let me explain how the bug happens. From what I can tell the game does not operate on continuous time but on "ticks" that last certain amount of time (this simplifies the way the events happening at roughly the handled). For non-tech-savy people - imagine there is a guy that sells tickets to the cinema but is lazy and opens the window once every 30 minutes and serves everyone waiting there. then closes again and opens 30 min from the time he opened. (Note that he serves EVERYONE before it it time to open up again.) The server does basically the same thing but the ticks take a few milliseconds. Now to the point - during each tick the new map generation for void is handled. The issue is that the code is poorly written and it is not checked whether there has been an instance created for the party for a floor in Void DURING 1 tick.

To sum it up:
Bug reproduction: The bug occurs if 2 requests from players in the party come in one tick.
Bug solution: Add the check if an instance party has been created during the current tick. The check is already implemented the issue is the entry is not added to the party array until the tick is done (well at least until all the instances have been created).
Bug workaround: Enter with 1 character and link. Everyone piles in afterwards. This assures that only one instance is created per party.

Using the workaround mentioned above we have never had an issue in void. With the bug description the developers should be able to fix the bug in a few moments if the code is written decently.

All from me, have fun playing.

Yeah but I do void with alts, that means it takes a few secs to go to my alts tab, claim rewards and switch to next lvl tho #24

All you have to do is wait for 1 to load in, after that you should be fine. My advice is go with your main first, wait till you get past the loading screen and you pop into the room. the issue is you might be too fast and enter with the second one while the first is still in the loading screen. We have been using the method for about 2 months now and never had anyone split from the rest.

i see ty #24

I usually do it with links in the party chat, people go i one at a time, i even stay on the level before they all go in (I'm the leader)
So.. lets say we go to Lv2, all 4 of the members go to Lv2, i stay on Lv1 for a few seconds then enter.. After that, i stay inside until you can see the monsters figure so that takes.. 8-10 seconds

So everythign is taken to account, everyone goes inside slow and steady, we do it patiently, yet it still happens.. We never go in at the same time or try enter real fast o.o and Rev it doesn't happen all the time.. happens 2 out of 5 times
and happens especially with people who are new to void runs

I see join dates from 2012- Do any of you remember the ladder separation bug? Is this that, or is it different from that?

[LadyJo]

Yep, i do and it's exactly like that, The party enters but.. a player gets stuck on that same level facing the monster by him/herself

Hi everyone,

Sorry, but we're not able to reproduce this bug. Would it be possible for someone to give us more details and attach some screenshots, or even a video if possible?

Void

it is already happened sometimes !!
im trying to help my friend to get far in the void.
why sometime when we are changing lvl in void we do not spawn on the same floor if we are in the same party?
exemple-> yesterday i was alone in the floor 9 and my 4 friends were in another lvl 9

This issue has already been reported, however the team is unable to reproduce the bug for a clearer understanding. Screenshots and/or a video of this bug occurring will need to be provided if we hope to get this fixed.

Rev, the GMs have to do it every day for them to understand the effects of it.. It's not a one time thing.
Tell them to test it daily from 1 to 25, try with a full party.
One of them will get stuck eventually and thats what it is xD

[diablu]

it would be nice if they could add an npc like that of curroption but then way of void would hav ost its charm
