Issues, Workarounds & Localization

To expand on this issue. The effect isn't just limited to spamming activate when landing on a plex gate. It seems ANY attempt to spam a press before coming out of warp or an invulnerability state results in a failure of the server to respond.

Example: Warp to an object and while in warp have a new location selected and start spamming the "warp to" button. Prior to patch you would simply enter warp to the next location as soon as you exit warp, now if you are spamming rapidly you can sit there clicking all day and your ship will not respond until you pause for a tick, then hit the button again.

I lost a worm today because I warped to a belt with a neutral pirate waiting. As soon as I saw a ship on overview I selected a new location and began spamming warp to. I should have had time to (always have done so in the past) immediately warp away but instead my ship just sat there as I spammed the warp button trying to get out. He essentially flew right up to me, targeted me, pointed me and waited for his buddies to arrive.

Not particularly concerned about the loss but this got me messing around with the effect of spamming activation buttons and found that the new problems apply to warping immediately after coming out of warp, activating gates and attempting to lock targets immediately after entering a plex.

Same. Alt-tabbing seems to aggrivate it (I play 2 borderless clients on 2 monitors). When I switch back I find I have to click the gate (or station or whatever) in the overview before the jump button will do anything.

Almost lost my Viator earlier. Almost.

im having the same issue and its like my client is unresponsive to commands

I have same issue.
Lost ship because of it already!

Its like client freezes and does not respond to any commands.

This is being investigated.

Hmm, was out for frig PvP yesterday first time after the patch and didn't notice any difference in jump, gate and lock behavior ... will check this evening solo.

At least clicking jump in the middle of a warp to gate still works as expected.

I got the fix this morning, but still have some issues. I started pressing the warp button as soon as it came available from landing from a warp. Warp to the other object wouldn't start if I was pressing it in succession. I had to wait a second or two after landing to press warp for it to register. Also, still hearing from others that the issue is still there.

No, you didn't.
As per CCP Karkur, the fix has only been deployed few minutes ago...

I'm afraid the patch did not correct the problem. Just tested after updating client and launcher and rapidly spamming activate or warp buttons while coming out of warp will still leave you sitting there clicking indefinitely. There seems to be a threshold on how quickly you can spam a button before the client just basically ignores you. Click slowly and it may work as soon as the function becomes available, click too fast and you can sit there all day and nothing will happen.

In progress

Bug report sent. Performed two tests, one where I land and spam with client failing to respond until I pause. And a second where I land and begin gradually reducing my click speed until my client responds. Hopefully you'll be able to access logs for both events. I did dock after the test, war targets in system. Hopefully that wont effect the range of logs available, if so I will repeat and send the report from safe BM.
