bugs

Known bugs currently in Lord of Ultima

Trade Minister not pulling resources

The trade minister is not sending resources to cities that are requesting them. Both the resources and carts are available but it will not pull them. THe resources are not protected and trading is not disabled via the check boxes. Happening on two cities (so far). Normally when setting a higher city limit the resources ship immediately. I cannot get them to ship at all.
Not fixed

Close button for trade summary entry

“X” button graphic overlaps the arrival time text if text string contains “Tomorrow” in it.
Not fixed

Multiple sieges on the same city

Two players attacking a third player will not see themselves. This is a major bug since the first one to capture the city will be fighting the other one attacking.

Fixed

Boss raids

Prior to the June 1 patch, bosses would not disappear if an army was sent to fight them. Since that time, bosses disappear after two or three hours, making them almost impossible to fight. Two things suggest this is a bug – first, the patch notes mentioned nothing about this major change to boss behavior. Second, when a boss disappears before it can be faced, the game log shows “outdated report type”, rather than any actual game message.
According to the patch notes for the 6/22 patch, this has been repaired.

[u] As of 25/03/2011 there is still a bug regarding bosses, now they dont disappear and you cant attack them either.[/u]

Diamonds

Not showing up after being purchased

Prior to the forums going down, more and more people were reporting diamonds being bought from the store, but never received in their accounts, with no response from EA or Phenomic when contacted.
Solution: Simply hit the “refresh diamonds display” button.

Codes not being consumed

Occasionally, after entering a diamond code into the “redeem code” area of the select world screen, you will be returned to the main page immediately. The code does not get consumed and the diamonds do not get credited to your account.
Solution: Just log in again and re-enter the code.

Log-in problems

Could someone who has had problems logging in describe what happens?

(Baltezaar) When started LoU, typed in username & password and checked box for my login info to be remembered. Some time later I accessed the Electronic Arts website signing up for another EA game (UO). In the process I changed my main EA username or password. Since then, when I go to the LoU website (www.lordofultima.com) I get an error message – like there is something wrong with the HTML code and the page does not load. It simply says the wrong user name or password was typed, but does not offer an option to re-type username and password. It has a link to exit page, but the link does not work.

I cleared all cookies in my browser, exited browser and still was not able to access the main LoU page. I cleared all temp files, saved passwords in the browser, still did not work. I downloaded a different browser (Mozilla Firefox), still could not access the LoU page. Basically two computers which had the LoU username and password saved and the box checked for it to remember my login, no longer worked in accessing the site. I had to use a 3rd computer and login manually and it then worked. So it tells me that there is some other login info/cookies saved on individual computers that is not part of the browser cookies. That needs to be found and deleted before you can login again after changin username or password on the EA website.

Solution: Clear all cookies from the browser then try again. ((Baltezaar)Clearing cookies did not work in my case. So far I have not found any solution for this login issue.)

(Tassmaister) after making quick commands the interface disconnects me.
when trying to log in again the screen shows me a half loaded window to register a new users.

clearing cokies or trying it in differend browsers or incognito modes no luck to be able to log in directly. though waiting a unknown time (from 5-30min) Im again ablr to log in.
What could cause this?

Blinking Screen

FIXED: If you log in from more than one location, session logged in earlier will logout.

Disappearing Queues

FIXED: According to the patch notes for the 6/22 patch, this has been repaired.

Missing Moonstones

FIXED: No more Moonstones

City without Town Hall

If a city is hit with a lot of artillery damage, it can be completely destroyed to the situation that the Town Hall is removed, leaving just a castle. This kind of city will show up as a castle with 4p. If owning this kind of city, it is impossible to build new buildings, store any resource, rename the city, or abandon. It is basically useless, consuming one baron-slot.

Accidental Item Usage

Due to lags in the user interface, after clicking on a city in the city dropdown list, an item is used. In general, a confirmation would help since any item could be used with a wrong click.

Building Queue not completing

Bug present which causes some queues to stop at 0:00 time remaining. Queues in other cities and still progressing normally. Clock is not cleared after exit and restart. Issue fist reported 5/27/11.

Building Queue not completing – 2nd condition

Build queue is full. Order is not on. The first item can not be built. Not advancing to others. Other cities are working as expected.
Solution: cancel first city – issue: You need to notice the failure.

Incorrect food usage information

Occasionally, the food income popup will show incorrect usage information involving recruitment queues that do not exist. First reported 5/26/2011.
