TL Issue
In a Game on Ice 9 I got #SD# invading a planet and forgot to stop TWX before going to bed so it was attempting to login at extern. Now this morning I am locked out, no message or anything, here is the snippet of what I see. I sent a message to V'Ger but it was my understanding this had been fixed? A password is required to enter this game. Password? ******* Who's Playing Dread Pirate scoots [14] The Pirates are on the move! The Ferrengi are on the move! The Federation are on the move!

Re: TL Issue
Did you try to reset TWX? It's possible it's a database or software issue. Close everything related to TW, reload them and try again.

Re: TL Issue
Looks like the same TL bug. Have Vger check?

Re: TL Issue
It looks like the T/L bug, but eliminating all other possibilities is wise before coming to a conclusion. It's possible that he did relog in after extern and just ran out of time.

I was on my telneting in from my phone when I tried logging in at 3am, so no TWX to get in the way. V'Ger reset it but it appears that issue is still not fixed.

Re: TL Issue
More than likely it's the old time bug then. If you are online from 11pm until midnight and run out of time, for some reason the TWGS still recognizes you as logged into the game until after midnight, therefor your time doesn't get reset until after the following midnight.

Re: TL Issue
I have always had to go back to the main menu then return to the game menu before the game would let me log back in

Re: TL Issue
Toyman, if you could ask VGer to send me a TWA of the game while this bug is happening, I'll be able to trace the login and see exactly what's happening here.

Re: TL Issue
And while we are on it...Logging out in sector brings me to "T" menu Logging out in Cit to Main menu. Personally I don't think it matters any because u do a exit/enter from sector but i thought i'd mention it as variable behavior by the game.

I sent the request to Vger, this is the first time it has happened to me in a long time. Normally I close TWX and don't worry about it but last night I forgot so I am sure it was constantly trying to relog while I was afk.

Re: TL Issue
It's messy the way the game handles "out of time" when connecting. No message, just drops you suddenly from the first pause. I'd like to clean that up. The game is supposed to give you a message stating that you're out of time for the day. So I'll look at that.
I could drop you to "T" menu from Cit if that won't cause anyone problems.
