Thread: Stockroom Issues Anyone else have this?

I'm having an issue with "disappearing" stockroom items in my Coronet vendors.


If I have an item whose auction expires, and it goes to the stockroom...I can then go to the vendor and click on "stockroom," and see the items listed there. Upon retrieving one of the items, OR putting one item up for sale, the vendor refreshes itself and no further items in the stockroom are visible...tells me "no items match the criteria." Changing tabs doesn't help (from For Sale, to Offers, back to Stockroom). Stockroom items are seen for a second, then the vendor auto-refresh makes them disappear. Closing the vendor window and reopening it doesn't help - I see my stockroom items for a second, then they "disappear."


I have the same issue when I withdraw a sale, however it's a little more insidious. Once I withdraw the sale, I switch to my Stockroom tab...and I see the items for a second, then they disappear. Not even a chance to retrieve one item, or put one item back up for sale. Closing vendor window, changing tabs, refreshing, selecting "This Region" then specifying vendor, selecting Entire Galaxy doesn't let me access the stockroom items. In fact, "Entire Galaxy" showsthe items in OTHER stockrooms on vendors in other parts of the galaxy, but not in the area of my vendors I'm currently at.


This affects old vendors, a new vendor I just dropped, items that were in the stockroom since the Publish, and after the Publish (just cleared the stockroom eventually and withdrew more sales to test).



I've figured out a workaround,. This workaround, unfortunately, requires you have access to 1 additional vendor which you then must place and initialize next to one of your current vendors (will not work for low-level Artisan).


Drop new vendor and initialize.


Select "Stockroom" tab on new vendor. Stockroom items should remain.

Retrieve 1 item, or resell 1 item.

Vendor's Stockroom window will auto-refresh, show remaining stockroom items for a second, then be persistently blank.

Close vendor window and switch to vendor next to one you just used.

Select "stockroom" tab of other vendor.

Retrieve 1 item, or resell 1 item.


Vendor's Stockroom window will auto-refresh, show remaining stockroom items for a second, then be persistently blank.

Close vendor window and switch to vendor next to one you just used.

Repeat as necessary until all items in Stockroom are retrieved or sold, as desired.


So, basically you have to switch between two vendors continually with each item you want to retrieve or resell, and after reselling/retrieving 1 item, you need to close the vendor and open the other.


Anyone else having this issue?

This is likely a server boundary issue, as my vendors in my home city on Tatooine do not behave like this.


However, my vendors in Coronet never did this before the last Publish...so I still suspect that it's a new bug.

Had this happen to me about 1 year ago. Identical to what you are describing. Put in a ticket on it and after several conversations with a CSR, there was a file that I needed to delete (the one that holds your macro information, I tried to look it up but can't find the name) It meant redoing my macros and buttons but it solved the issue reight away. Put in a ticket or maybe someone here can remember the file name to delete.
