Error when switching characters
« on: August 05, 2020, 09:26:40 AM »
Got scary error for no apparent reason. Hlep.

This is the second report of this happening. I don't know if the first time the player had just changed PCs, but in Discord this time the player reported swapping alts but not interacting with the first alt. In both cases the PC was disabled.

My windows cracked, but they can be replaced.

I had this happen yesterday. DM Vetala determined it was something with my PC Data Object. She replaced it (I think), and I have had no issue since.

If she had replaced it, your PC would be corrupted.

That's what I get for thinking! :D

Checking my logs, she actually said it was the OOC data widget. Sorry for the error!

This isn't a bug. It happens when, at some point, another PC with the exact same character name logged in.
