Hi all

Something very strange happened to me yesterday evening during my game session, i don't know yet if downtime has changed the situation, i reported a bug to CCP but i guess players answer will come fatser,

short description : no wormhole visible in space as in overview, and no interaction possible with them.
This is not a matter of client or machine, i launched my game on two different machines and observed the same thing twice.

Long description as i did in bug report for CCP:
"Me and my corporation live in wormhole space and tonight i can see no more wormholes at all !
I can probe them, warp to them from scan or bookmarks, see mate ships enter in and coming out from them (but without any visual nor sound effect ! ie they just appear or disapear as if they cloack thier ships) but never see them in space or in my overview and they can never be selected, and neither be entered as a concequence.
So that i´m trapped in a system wich was our tonight´s static (fortunatly it is a HS static and i have probes and am i a covops, so that when things will re-run normally, i´ll can get out).
I tried many things to find a solution: overview setting (to all), chache clearing, restart computer, graphic card update, and even launching client on another machine but problem remains (assume that last point is realy strange !) This must be not a client/graphic issue but a server or DB one, no ?

Where curious things began: when i entered (it was no my first worhole passage this evening) our recently opened static tonight first my ship could not take speed, alignement or warp anywhere, so that it was a pain to recloak in the just discovered system ! So i relaunched eve client; ship moving was then fine but i observed a new phenomena : when i warp to another scanned wh , this last one appeared at 2.4 AU in my overview and in space ! At this moment right left choices (contextual menu) for the corresponding bookmark were "approach, orbit" and not "warp, align, etc"
But it was not possible to perform normal actions from selected item as distance displayed was not the "real" one
Then i relaunched client once again to see no more WH at all as described above...

Another strange thing too that happend once: a corpmate was present next to me after entering from another system, warped out, but was still present in my overview and in space at 14 AU !

Did anybody observed this yet ? do you have any explanation ?

Thanks

I've seen these effects, but right before my client loses connection to the server. Usually it's as I'm warping away from my tower or such, and when I can still see it on my overview at 9 AU, I realize I'm about to drop my connection.

Not sure what's up with yours.

Seen those symptoms before but as above it was the client going out of sync and restarting (usually client gets dumped shortly after anyway) fixes it.

TBH your gonna have to either wait til CCP deals with the petition and moves you out or SD.

well...

1- it can't be a temporary loss of connection as i restarted client many times on different machines, plus other softs using network runs fine
2- SD won't solve my problem as it will remain when il'll probe any other Wh, my problem is not that i can't find an exit, it is that i can't use the exit, and won't be able to use any entrance too

thanks for answering anyway, i'll check what happens later when i'll be IG

SD may (or may not) solve the problem as sometimes issues like this are specific to a system and become unstuck once your reloaded in another system. I've had it before (more than once) where probing skills aren't properly* applied after jumping into a system which is never solved by relogging but jumping in and out of the system sorts it.


* Done enough probing in my time to know its not just me failing :P

Had something similar once, but it affected everyone in the system. Downtime fixed it too.
