Ok, I think we all know the trick where you run 3-4 crafting tools at once, right? Start the prototype going in one, start the next tool, etc. Well, since the patch, this isn't working for me. I noticed, while sampling some resources, that I kept getting a "crafting session ended" message. I thought it might be because I was sampling resources or something, so I stopped sampling, but kept getting the message. I finally noticed that I was getting that message as I was using the last of my tools and the first tool finally counted down to finishing the prototype (if that makes sense the way I described it). Basically, I start the first tool, start the second tool, but by the time I get to the third tool, the first tool has counted down and when it gets to 1 second for prototype, it kicks me out of the crafting session.

I never noticed this before the patch...anyone else having problems with this? I suppose I could just pick items that take longer to make, but if there's another workaround or something, I'd be happy to hear it. Thanks.

Yup, I've been having this problem as well. I've submitted a bug report about it twice now, and will continue every day till it's fixed. Major annoyance when trying to get your skill up, and I'm not looking forward to putting up with it when I start my next batch of stimpacks.

Dunkel - check out the bug list for oct 13th or 10th or something - stickied at the top of the forum.

It's definately a bug and I can see exactly when it happens. It occurs if you have a crafting window open when another tool finishes it's crafting run. If you are speedy and get both tools crafting at once (ie, both are still counting down) the message doesn't occur and everything goes normally. If you are a little slow getting the second window running (or third or whatever) and it is still open when another tool reaches zero, any open windows close down.

Yeap - just noticed this today w/ my new crafter...(I don't do a lot of consecutive crafting on my Doc anymore) ... Hope they get it fixed soon... it was not happening to me last night...I had 3 going at a time ... i guess its conceivable that i got all three done before the 1st stopped counting... =)

oh well

J/Tharg!
