Star Fleet Universe Discussion Board: Star Fleet Battles: Star Fleet Battles Online: SFB Online Client: Bug Reports: Archive through September 21, 2022
By Frank Lemay (Princeton) on Thursday, October 07, 2021 - 08:24 am: Edit

Paul,
ASAIK, he is not seeing any error, the client is simply not allowing him to change the fighter speed

This is after he has applied the crippling damage to the fighter.

We are set to play next Wednesday. Will let you know if he can change the speed on T2.1 then ?

Cheers
Frank

Frank,
What happens when he select "Change Speed..."?

If you could, could you send me a saved game file?

By Frank Lemay (Princeton) on Wednesday, October 13, 2021 - 01:28 pm: Edit

Paul,
Game file sent as well as a feedback report.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Cheers
Frank

While not exactly a bug, I have run into a minor mistake. Flying the Romulan TKR tournament ship, there is a mistake on the Change Ship Speed Plot(s) Window. It lists the turn mode as, Turn mode: D, where it is obviously Turn Mode: B

Thanks

Greg,
Thank you. I will make sure that it is corrected in the next update.

I'm having an issue where my client freezes up every time I hit the die roller button.

Any ideas on how to resolve the issue?

By Randy Green (Hollywood750) on Thursday, May 19, 2022 - 05:09 pm: Edit

Only use a Mauler, with no optional EW? :)

Hopefully someone has a better answer...

Joshua,
Which random number generator are you using?

By Joshua Ivan Driscol (Gfb) on Friday, May 20, 2022 - 10:19 am: Edit

I've tried several of the random number websites and tried reinstall but still have it lockup on me every time.
I'm worried it could be something wrong with my computers operating system or hardware.

I've thought up a solution and for now I'll ask my opponent to roll for me.

One random number has to be just as good as the next.

But if you have any ideas for me to work it out I'd appreciate it it's a Linux mint machine.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Friday, May 20, 2022 - 12:13 pm: Edit

Joshua,
Repeat the issue. Then restart the client and bring it up again and click on the "Send Feedback" button and I will look at logs that are sent to see if there is anything that is wrong in there.

By Joshua Ivan Driscol (Gfb) on Saturday, May 21, 2022 - 05:19 pm: Edit

IT also locks up when I try to allocate damage that would score internal hits.

I sent a feedback.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Thursday, May 26, 2022 - 08:23 pm: Edit

Joshua,
Just to let you know I did look at the feedback sent and I did not see anything. Two things:

1. Is this your only computer? If not, try another computer. Because I have heard of issues with ISPs causing issues with the client. And it would be good to eliminate that.

2. If this is your only computer, then I would like to setup either a Discord session or Zoom session so that I can help diagnose the issue. To get the information is a little complicated and I am not sure how familiar you are with using a Terminal window to execute Linux commands.

By Joshua Ivan Driscol (Gfb) on Friday, May 27, 2022 - 10:47 pm: Edit

I am totally unfamiliar with using the terminal.

It still locks up when i try rolling dice but it goes away after awhile 2 minutes roughly then i can play normally.

I'm just working around the issue for the moment.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Saturday, May 28, 2022 - 03:53 pm: Edit

Joshua,
Do you have another computer that has the client on it?

When it comes to the terminal, I figured as much. Hopefully, we can schedule a time to get together or maybe I can catch you online sometime

By Joshua Ivan Driscol (Gfb) on Sunday, May 29, 2022 - 10:18 am: Edit

I don't have any other computers here and its working but theres a two minute period of time when it locks up after attempting a die roll.

But eventually the old machine snaps out of it and gives me my die rolls.

I think it may be just lag on my computers part and there may be nothing wrong with the client.

ITs playable and thats all I needed, I just had to figure out how to work around the issue.

Hopefully we can connect online soon to chat about the problem. I've been very busy writing kindle vellas for some spare cash. They pay $1.05 per hundred words of story and ive been writing some bad stories.

By Jack Taylor (Jtaylor) on Sunday, May 29, 2022 - 10:31 am: Edit

Which die roller are you using? Seems like if you use the internal die roller that might help.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Sunday, May 29, 2022 - 11:20 am: Edit

Joshua,
Did you see the same delay when you click on the "Send Feedback" button in the window?

By Joshua Ivan Driscol (Gfb) on Wednesday, June 01, 2022 - 10:12 pm: Edit

yes about 2 minutes delay then it starts working.

By wayne douglas power (Wayne) on Wednesday, June 01, 2022 - 11:29 pm: Edit

It could be some sort of lag, or a bad mouse.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Thursday, June 02, 2022 - 08:48 pm: Edit

Joshua,
Are you using Tor, a VPN or a proxy server?

By Joshua Ivan Driscol (Gfb) on Thursday, June 02, 2022 - 10:26 pm: Edit

No but it could be that im using my neighbors wifi and it could be intermittently disconnected.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Friday, June 03, 2022 - 06:20 pm: Edit

Joshua,
Do you get kicked out of the client frequently?

By Joshua Ivan Driscol (Gfb) on Monday, June 06, 2022 - 12:49 pm: Edit

No my connection is fairly stable

By Jack Taylor (Jtaylor) on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 - 10:11 pm: Edit

This may have been reported before-

I was flying Lyran going 26 using impulse. He was flying KR going 21 using impulse. He tractored me and the client set my pseudo speed to 12. I don't think there is any combination of events where speed 12 would be the right answer there for me.

By Frank Lemay (Princeton) on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 - 10:58 pm: Edit

Jack,
That is the correct speed, speed 12.
The KR would have a pseudo speed of 10.

The impulse for each ship cancels each other out.
Therefore, at speed 26 using impulse is effectively using 25 warp divided by 2 is speed 12 as the impulse used by each ship is ignored.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Frank
