I use configured containers for my own personal use, after the patch today some how my missiles are locked in my container and I cannot unlock them, anyone else have this problem so far?

I configured the containers to be UNLOCKED forever!

No idea how this happened in the first place, but the work around is right click item and unlock it ....... Items I drop into a container that is configured to be unlocked shouldn't be locking on drop in but they do!

Speaking of "Locked Items"

There is no visually identifiable way to determine if a BPO is locked down or not.

Dual Pane idea: Click!

Having a similar issue with my containers. All new items I put in are in locked mode and I have to manually unlock all new items (yes, I made sure the containers are configured properly). Also, alliance, corp and local chat are gone What?

You can select all items in the container, then right-click and select unlock items.

Then, re-configure the container to not lock items by default (right-click on the container).

Locked items used to appear slightly grey. Don't know if they still do.

This happens for me after every patch. Bit of a PITA to have to unlock SC's as I stop at each individual station.

Do you smell what the Lock's cooking?

I've done this about 10 times now, new items still enter the containers locked.

Make regular back-up copies of your "settings" and "cache" directories. Burn them to a DVD or other read-only medium and lock them into a vault. The vault should be bullion-grade and located at least 50m below surface-level for maximum security against CCP patch attempts to overwrite them.

Patch Eve.

Play Eve for a day or two, or until you understand how the new version is supposed to work, then go back to the vault and retrieve your back-up tapes. You will be met at the vault by a small to medium sized body guard and you will be escorted home in a randomly chosen armored vehicle in the convoy. Any attempt by CCP staff to interfere with the back-ups along the way will be met with armed force.

Once you are back home, boot up your PC, install the disk in the drive, and copy the files back into the correct place.

But be warned. CCP will stop at nothing to prevent you from retaining your preferred settings.

Open the container, select all then "unlock". Then redo the container config.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

did you simply read the OP and have to respond without reading any of the responses?

Another of the "benefits" of The Window.

I think that when you're putting stuff into the container you're using the tree (that at least is where I've been having this issue).

Unfortunately the tree is like dragging stuff onto a container in your hangar rather than dragging to an open container tab in the old system, it ignores the configuration of the container and locks everything automatically.

And yes, (especially sucky when you're dealing with a corp hangar with well over one hundred containers and a need to distribute minerals among them) you just have to go through tham all and Ctrl+A, Right Click, Unlock...

That will be bug fixed soon. I bug reported a way to reproduce the error yesterday and already got confirmation back that it's fixed in an upcoming build (maybe next Tuesday's patch?).

As for the rest - submit bug reports! Especially if you can figure out how to make it reproducible.

Actually you completely missed the point. The issue isn't people not understanding how to unlock items, it's that the containers are already set to have items be "unlocked" when put in and no matter how many times you unlock items manually or open up the configuration menu and check and see that it is still set to "unlock" it, the first time each log in that you try and put an item in any container it will be locked.

Additionally, even without opening up the config, the next time any thing is put in the container that locked items, they will not be locked. So the actual config settings have nothing to do with the bug.

So to review for the simpletons who have nothing better to do but come on the forums and ingorantly harrass others;

- First attempt on each log in to put item(s) in each container results in those items being locked
- containers were set to "unlock" both before and after the attempt.
- next attempt to put item(s) in same container results in items not being locked, with no adjustment to settings made.

Just confirmed that Friday's update DID NOT address this issue, it's still an active bug.

I have reset all my containers to be unlocked, but the first item i put into the can is always locked and any other after that isn't, even if i put a few things in at once one item will be locked and the rest wont. I have locked and unlocked the cans but it makes no difference the first time i put something in after loging on gets locked.

Bumping and confirming Thursday's 1.0.9 patch did not address this issue. It is still an active bug.

At this point, I'd just like to get rid of my containers but can't seem to do so. Well not for three weeks apparently as the logs have been accessed yadda yadda. They're empty, why can't I repackage or trash them? Very annoying.

This is the result of using the tree (yeah, that's the best way to use The Window, honest...).

When you drag objects to a container via the tree it's like dropping the items on the container icon, the configuration is not checked and everything goes into the can according to default settings (ie locked). It can be avoided by either openning the container in a new window or by waiting a few seconds for The Window to switch focus to the container in question.


Sucks but what can you do...
