it was my understanding that withdrawing from the stockroom before you relist was fixing the "no stat's" items...?






No.. this doesn't "FIX" the bug. It only allows the item descriptions to be viewable until the bug strikes AGAIN. Whatever is CAUSING the blank description bug is NOT fixed. Having to repeatedly withdraw into inventory massive numbers of items in order to relist them is the only solution we have been given to keep our business from dying. This is not an acceptable solution.

i also have noticed this problem when searching for CA's on the bazaar under galactic vendor search.


i spent over an hour looking at over 2000 CA's in my galaxy and plenty would not show details; however, when i would go and dogalatic search's on BE tissues and Stim d's, every single one would show up w/ its pic and details


not sure if its item specific, vendor specific, or time on vendor (30days max) specific

Yes, I've seen similar entries with weapons and starship parts sometimes, using the vendor search.
Its rare though.

The following are loosing displayable stats:


Armor


Clothes


Containers


Resources


SEAs (CAs and AAs)


Food


The patch process is so half arse that they are killing the database listings and they obviously do not care. This has been happening with most every patch since the FU, I mean CU.

Every single day. It is most common with ship parts. All the data is there, it just comes up in the wrong order. Makes it pretty hard to read. I think this started with pub 22, though I am not sure.


The data is not actually corrupted, just the display of it is. You can click on other parts and go back to the messed up one and then it will display normally.


Some days I viewseveral hundred ship parts (love to make killer RE jobs) and about 10 percent of them come up with jumbled stat listings.

Seen this.


One thing that causes this to happen is if you withdraw a sell, then from the stockroom resell it. ( If you let it naturally fall to the stockroom its fine, its ending it premuturely and then relisting.)


If you find an item that does not show details. You can withdraw sell. Then take the item into your inventory then sell it again on the vendor. This will fix it. ( I've done this with several Tailor items of mine that were messed up with Bienurdau. )

Now we're gettin' somehwere.
I'll add this information.

They can't fix it if they can't duplicate it.

I noticed right after the publish that the stats on some of my resources were jumbled on the vendor. It would list some stats, then the name of the resource, then a few more stats. Everything was out of order. I haven't gone back to look and see if it was a one time thing, but that had happened to maybe a a fifth of my resources listed.

Yesterday and the day before, I tried retrieving items that had no details from the stock room as well as posting new items. I found that no matter what I did, the details would disappear after I put them up for sale. For instance, I had one item that said was good for 29 days and 5 mins, and the details were there, the next item was good for 29 days 4 mins and the details that were there before were gone. I don't know about anyone else but the is really a game killer. I have over 1000 items on 2 of my vendors, it is almost impossible for me to keep up. It is killing sales, where before I would earn almost 1 million credits every week, I am now down to 5 or 6 sales a day.
