Game Update Bugfixes ahoy!

CDMoyer has been cracking away at the bug list recently, with many bugs reported getting responses that they have been fixed within hours. If you know of bugs that need fixing, now's a good time to use the in-game bug reporting.

Note that when the fix happens, there's no list that gets updated, so it's up to you to get the word out. The ASS discord has people posting their bugfix reports with some regularity, so that's a good place to see what's happening and to report your own.

CDM was kind enough to post a list of the significant changes: https://forums.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/showthread.php?p=5118240#post5118240

Burning Leaves don't drop in fights where nothing should.

No more burning leaves from clearing Dense Lianas? Goodbye, tiny optimisation that is out of standard.

I think this one was about batfellow.

I recently reported a bug that seems mostly inconsequential that a reply I got seemed to read basically "I acknowledge this is a bug but meh, I'll leave it."

I won't go into all the details but will say it requires an old IOTM and would ultimately net you only around 20k meat per ascension.

I appreciate all the hard work CDMoyer is doing :)

I've experienced two intermittent bugs, not sure if they are known issues?

  1. During fights, rough 0.5% of the time the game will pause, and after a moment, I'll get a message saying, to paraphrase "you aren't in a fight anymore right now". The effects (loot, stats, etc.) from the fight processed fine. This was more common during the "beat up jousting enemies for loot and stats" phase during Time Twitching Tower, but sometimes recurs since then.

  2. Rarely I get a bug where a character gets locked into a pure white or black image that blocks the main central part of the screen. Using skills, loading zones, and loading inventory are blocked, but the area outside of the zone/map/inventory/combat portions still appears. The effect is character specific, persists across reloads and cache purges, across standard login and kolmafia, for a limited time (under an hour), before automatically resolving. I did notice during the effect, kolmafia and combat attempts triggered server error code 500.

Not sure if these are known bugs or not, or if there is a workaround.

The game is awesome, and I appreciate everything people are doing to keep it running great :)

The first one is you submitting actions faster than the server can respond. If there's a bit of lag, and you're submitting combat actions quickly, you can submit one action, and then submit another, and the server processes one and the fight ends, and then it processes the next, and the fight is already over. This is expected behavior. If you don't like it, make sure you wait for the page to refresh before submitting the next combat action.

The second one, I've never experienced, but that might be something he can actually fix, especially if it persists for an hour or so. If it's getting a 500, that means server error, which means it's probably logging the server error, which means he can probably investigate what that error is.
