Once bugs are confirmed by Kevan or enough others, move them to Known Bugs.

Note: Please only add new bugs into the last section. Bugs within the sections are ordered from latest (at the top) to oldest (at the bottom) so that newer bugs are easier spotted by simply clicking the section headers, which can be very useful if you're trying to gather input from others on it, and it gets confirmed as an actual bug that way. Due to this, please try and keep that chronological order, and help maintain the chronological order if you see any out of line. Also, please at least try to skim the page to see if the bug has been reported before.

Note: Until the guide on commonly misinterpreted-as-bugs-features and browser quirks is written up, the old Misunderstandings and Features and Browser Issues sections can be found on Non-Bugs page. Also, bugs whose original report lacked a datestamp have been moved to this page. Grammatical errors in-game may be reported on page called Grammatical Errors in Urban Dead.

Description:	During my occupation of Caiger Mall I was killed by a fellow zombie. Upon standing up I found myself inside the top-right corner of the mall while OUTSIDE the other 3 corners. In order to see into the other corners, I had to move to another square within the mall and then back again. Here's a screenshot of the incident.

Discussion
The same thing just happened to me again in the same corner. I haven't tried to reproduce this with the other corners of the building. Lbgrowl 20:34, 14 April 2008 (BST)

Same - my zombie died in Marven mall by zombie hands, NW corner, didn't get dumped. I got up; I was inside that corner but the other corners were displayed as if I were outside.

49 Misses in a Row

Timestamp:	01:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Originally reported by:	Banana reads Scoundrell for all of Yesterday's News, Today!
Current Status:	New
Severity:	Highly Obstructive
Description:	I logged into my character, Ra'Gru, a member of the Zerg Hunters Unlimited, with plans on hunting zergs, as I had restocked the day before. Moving one block, I spotted a zerg. With my copious amounts of AP and ammo, I considered this an easy kill. I began firing, using shotgun shells, and quickly reached ten misses. Greatly annoyed, I continued firing, using all my shells in the process. I continued onwards with my pistols, subsequently reaching seventeen, twenty two, twenty eight, thirty four, and then forty eight misses. I then APed out on number forty nine, with a miss. Concerned, my fellow ZHU member shot and then attempted to heal me to see if I had tripped a zerg flag. Naturally, this proved a simple task.

Discussion
I had 16 misses in a row with shotties/pistols not an hour earlier and I thought I had just had the worst luck in the history of UD. I wasn't doing anything so honorably as zerg hunting, but I WAS shooting at another human, and I could have kept on missing if I didn't run out of AP. I was pissed though. I find it hard to believe that we were both just really unlucky at the same time.--Suburban Ed 01:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Happens to zombies all the time, at least high high miss streaks do. If you are missing wait a while between attacks, it seems that the game balances for everyone or in cycles or some such thing but streaks happen a lot and if you are in the middle of one it probably won't go away until later in the day.--Karek^maps?! 12:35, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Even as severe as this is, since you hadn't tripped the zerg flag, it's just shitty luck. I've experienced crap like this as well. Even with damn good hit-rates, misses do happen a lot a number of times.--Kolechovski 16:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I have been having a similar problem for the past 2 weeks or so. It seems I've "tripped the zerg flag", as it were, though I am very careful to never let my alts interact, even going so far as to never having them in the same suburb (at least not intentionally... this may have happened once or twice). Anyhow, all three of my characters go through their entire stock of AP daily without more than one or two hits (their profiles: http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1017827, http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1014948, and http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1016311, in Gibsonton, Pitneybank, and Pegton, respectively). It's getting really frustrating... I can't do anything to any survivors because I miss with almost every attack! This is more than a string of bad luck, as I've gone through about 500 AP or so with only a few hits, which shouldn't happen with a 50% hit rate. Moving to "Bugs reported more than once" in the case that this is indeed a bug.--DeadGerry 8:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

let's see... Pegton and Pitneybank... kind of very close as i see. And also an arena of a very big fight at the moment, involving hundreds of other players, amongst whoom the possibility to find someone who shares IP with you (same ISP) is big... --~~~~ [talk ] 20:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure, Pegton and Pitneybank are close, but they're different suburbs... at worst, my alts were in the same suburb for a few moves when one was moving with his group. As for ISP, mine has a range of dynamic IPs, but I've had the same one for a number of weeks at worst... how much variation need there be between IPs before it's seen as zerging? Just how sensitive are the anti-zerging measures??? This has frustrated me to the point where the game is not much fun anymore!--DeadGerry 21:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the zerg thing kicks in if they get within 10 blocks of each other. This is why it's recommended to keep a suburb buffer between your alts at all times, to avoid stuff like this. Move them apart more, and your rates should improve.--Kolechovski 16:57, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

So it's over a month later, and I've gone so far as to stop playing my alts (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1017827 is my only active player beside the one in Monroeville), and I'm still missing with all but an attack or two out of 50 every time I log on. If the zerging countermeasures are still tripped for me, they're too sensitive... I've never come close to doing anything underhanded. There's a possibility that this is a bug in my hit percentage or something along those lines, isn't it?--DeadGerry 21:39, 09 March 2008 (UTC)

Doubtful that there is a bug just for you. Have you tried moving to a different 'burb? Perhaps some obscurity in the zerging countermeasures. --Pdeq^Talk* 06:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

This particular character has been moving from 'burb to 'burb with his group, so yes, I have tried that. I'm sure it's possible that the anti-zerging code could malfunction for one or a small number of players. I wish you were right, but I haven't been able to do any damage in a month and a half, maybe longer...--DeadGerry 12:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I have had the problem that my first hit on an enemy strikes, gives me tangling grasp (I'm a zombie.) and then the next 49 hits don't connect. I've had this problem for several weeks. I don't have multiple accounts, so I don't see why the countermeasures could kick in for me. I have all of the AP-saving skills, all of the percent-increasers, and just about all of that stuff. --Ceilius 00:34, 1 June 2008 (BST)

I've had a similar problem with my Monroeville alt Baal Friend over the last 4 days. Today 45 out of 48 claws (50% chance) were misses, previous 3 days weren't much better, only getting 5 or 6 hits (prior to that, everything was fine). My only other character is in Malton and is not having any problems. At time of writing, I've held my IP address for at least 3d19h. Bale Frend 13:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Issue lasted a further 4 days (total of 8) before I tried reseting my IP. It worked wonders, back to regular hit rate. I was part of a small horde and as stated above my only other character is in Malton, so I can't see it as anything other than a faulty zerg flag. Bale Frend 06:07, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

And it's back. It was nice to be able to hit for a couple of days. Bale Frend 23:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it is pretty obvious the Random Number Generator is not really random and there are some serious flaws in the algorithm. Both survivors and Zombies see this repeatedly, but Zombies are really impaired by it because of the game mechanics. While trying to take down a barricade one can easily blow 30 AP to take down one level (without anyone active inside rebarricading). It can also be seen while attacking a common target in a horde. If the group is attacking a single player most will miss repeatedly. It seems this is further compounded by having Tangling Grasp (ie. someone hits before you, you lose your grasp, which almost assures you miss your next attack). I'm confused why a better algorithm is not implemented, such as Mersenne Twister. There are much better algorithms than the standard C/C++ rand(), which is known to provide less random low-bits. Mersenne Twister is fast, a good pseudo-random generator and freely available over the internet.Crying McNuggetts 13:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, what's the current algorithm used, and what's its flaws? Yeah, I know it's rather stiff and doesn't seem all that fluid/random, but what's the worst part of it? And yeah, there will be on/off days, but these guys shouldn't be seeing so many off hits across so many days. Guys, who's your IP provider and are you on a constant connection or dial-up? If others have used your IP (especially on frequent networks), that could be constantly triggering teh anti-0zerg thingy.--Kolechovski 15:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I've been having this problem too, and since I own no alts, it can't be that. The only thing I can think of is that my girlfriend (who's computer is on the same network as me) is in the same Survivor group as me, and so we're usually in the same area, but this problem only seems to be affecting me, not her. MILLANDSON 03:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

If you're playing on the same network as her, you're using the same IP address, so if you gusy are operatign closely, it will trigger those anti-zerg countermeasures. Maybe she's unaffected by it if she always does her runs first (the system may not have yet detected a zerg problem until you login). You'll need a different network to play on if you both are playing and are constantly close to each other.--Kolechovski 18:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been seeing the same thing with some of my characters- I have a scout down in the southwest corner, a doctor in the middle, and a zombie in the far northeast, and some days my scout will just not hit anything, despite having all the gun skills. My zombie has been even worse, over the last week I don't think he's hit more than 15 times in the 300 AP he has used over the last week or so.--Doctor E 18:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure when I got the said pistol or where, but anytime I try to shoot anything with it, I merely get a "Your pistol is out of ammo" flavor text. Anyone wanna shed somelight on this?

Looks to me like its a 0 ammo pistol with a leftover radio freq tagged on the end- as you say, related to the other "super ammo" guns (which don't actually shoot more times than normal guns, afaik). I think dropping / reloading all your pistols should fix it. Swiers 22:49, 13 September 2007 (BST)

Well, I guess it's kinda fixed. I reloaded all my pistols yesterday, and it became a 61 shot pistol... Now after slaughtering some zeds at the CCPD, it's strangely become a "00" shot pistol. I'll need some more pistol clips till I can figure out if it'll become a 60 shot pistol or it becomes a 6 shot one.--Edward Grengle 21:04, 15 September 2007 (BST)

Shafted on XP

Description:	My Character in Monroeville Marshsal Eastwood had just leveled yesterday, with 7 remaining XP after buying Hand to Hand Combat. I took a stroll looking for a zed to gain some XP on. A few blocks from my safehouse, I found one outside a hospital and began attacking with my knife for 2 damage. I brought the Zed from 50 HP to 18, before turning around to find shelter again. That's a total 32 Damage, plus the 7 XP I started with today. Upon returning to my safehouse I notice my profile said i only had 25 XP...

Discussion
The math just doesn't add up. Even if the zed had 40 starting HP, i would have 29 XP, but i should have 39 xp. I'm not expecting a mulligan, it's just very frustrating. I'll get the 14 XP im missing down the road.

Maybe someone else was attacking the zombie at the same time you were there and didn't notice it? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{^{^{^{^{#nerftemplatedsigs}}}}} 14:21, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Very possible Axe hack, and something i didn't think of. I was taking a fair amount of time inbetween turns. so who knows?

Also something interesting is that you had what you thought was 7 xp, if this was somehow -7 xp then viola, instant 25 xp. Good Soldier

Barricade fails in dark building not consuming AP

Current Status:	confirmation required
Severity:	unassigned
Description:	While my survivor was rebarricading a dark building with one zombie inside, every time I failed due to the "Couldn't find anything to use in the dark" message, my AP was not deducted. In other words, I only used up AP for successses. I assume this is a bug since it's completely pointless to have the feature otherwise (well, it consumes IP hits). For example: here then here, no AP deducted for the fail. It wasn't just once, either, so it wasn't a tick; this happened about 10 times barricading from DWO to Heavily. I seem to recall this feature not being bugged when it first happened to me. Is this affecting anyone else?

Nope. This is affecting many dead accounts now. Many of them even were standing at full health, and others that were dead were killed inside without being dragged out. To make matters worse, not only do they constantly appear outside, but it seems to be happening at random times, based on zombie attacks. I've also had a zombie today mysteriously materialize, giving me one hit, even though I was active and saw no zombies around, inside or outside my area. Only one time was one of my dead bodies actually dumped by a survivor, so very strange things are happening in Monroeville.--Kolechovski 20:53, 28 August 2008 (BST)

Tangling Grasp Destroys Accuracy

Timestamp:	03:05, 1 May 2008 (BST)
Originally reported by:	AusIV
Current Status:	new
Severity:	unassigned
Description:	After buying tangling grasp, accuracy has fallen very close to zero. With Vigour Mortis and Death Grip, my hand attacks were successful about 50% of the time (as expected). When I purchased tangling grasp, the first hit against a user will be about 50% successful, and I can never hit them again. On one occasion I went from 16 AP when I started attacking, the first hit was successful, the remaining 15 failed, as did a few after recharging action points. On a later occasion, I went from 10 AP, the second attack hit, and the remaining 8 failed. I'm currently building up AP to try a larger scale test. I have two alts, a survivor (AusIV) in Fryerbank, and a zombie (ESGZombIV) in Roftwood. I'm not aware of having ever used the same IP as another player, so I don't think this could be a zerging flag.

Discussion
I'm having this problem with my level 42 zombie as well; seems to have been this way ever since I hit level 42, so for about a month now. Basically, once I grab someone, I won't hit them again, at all, with any attack. It's not a function of the anti-zerging code because I don't have any other active characters, and I'm reasonably certain no one on the network does either. splntrd 10:06, 26 May 2006

I have the same problem as AusIV. I have a few alts, but they are nowhere near each other. Whenever I "grab hold" of someone, that means that I won't be hitting them again. Poopgiggle 20:28, 30 April 2008 (BST)

Seems to be fixed. Tangling grasp now improves accuracy, rather than hurting it. I don't know if others are experiencing this as well, or if perhaps my luck has changed. --AusIV 21:47, 5 May 2008 (BST)

Never mind, it seems this was only temporary. Once again, the first attack hits, successive attacks fail. I'm never informed that I've lost my grip, the attacks just miss repeatedly. Back to using bite. --AusIV 02:40, 9 May 2008 (BST)

Perhaps this is a result of zerging countermeasures. I've found that if my Zombie keeps it's distance from my girlfriend's character, it has much better results. This seems weird though, because I've never logged on from the same network as my girlfriend. When I'm not having the problem, I get messages along the lines of "player writhes in your grasp. Your attack does no damage." or "your attack does no damage. You lose your grip." When I am having the problem, I'm just told that my attack misses.--AusIV 19:06, 12 May 2008 (BST)

Now I'm half way across the map from any of my alts, or my girlfriend's alts. It's possible that I've been linked with someone I'm unaware of while using a public network, but this means I have knowing what areas I have to avoid in order to be able to attack. It makes my character unusable, and if it doesn't start working soon, I may dump the character and start over, being more careful about logging in from public networks. --AusIV 15:15, 24 May 2008 (BST)

Reposting to bring this back to the devs' attention, and to give an update. This problem periodically gets fixed for a day or two and then breaks again; it's currently broken and has been for a week or so. --Poopgiggle 23:48, 15 June 2008 (BST)

I'm getting this problem as well. One hit, then nothing but misses. All my zombies have become unplayable as a result.--Lejes 23:33, 4 July 2008 (BST)

More than likely, someone didn't want to cut his words in the middle. Like the first broadcast, for example. It's 59 characters long, and the next word is "of", and if cut off at 60, the "o" and the "f" would have been in different broadcast, which might cause some slight confusion. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{^{^{^{^{#nerftemplatedsigs}}}}} 23:08, 2 April 2008 (BST)

Next thing I know, when I move to attack him again, I find myself dead for no reason with the same amount of AP myah. In the picture you can also see that I cannot see into the other blocks of the mall. Well, I stand up myah, and as you can see I have 4 AP left, and I still can't see into the other mall blocks. So...

Discussion
It looks like you got killed and then issued a command to attack (or it didn't get processed till after you were killed) and so you couldn't make the attack (invalid action) but also could not see the reports of being attacked (you;d taken an action). Pretty standard "0 time conflict" stuff. You were in a mall- were you maybe mashing buttons really fast to attack? As for the stand up, you were at 13, gained an AP from the server tic, spent 10 to stand up, leaving you with 4. Nothing wrong there. Swiers 06:31, 1 April 2008 (BST)

Yeah, except for the fact I died in one move with 50 HP. I don't think there's anything that can do that.

» JS talk contribs » 13:57, 1 April 2008 (BST)

Sure there is. One move for you might be 10 moves for somebody else (there's ways to fire off multiple moves VERY quickly). Also, with multiple active shotgun users in the mall, you can die FAST. Its also maybe possible you were hit with a syringe and didn't get revived due to the same zero time conflict that caused you not to get the report.

Swiers 18:39, 1 April 2008 (BST)

Well, the syringe would only work here if the same conflict that caused the problem made the syringe not work, as I was still dead when I rose. And it was only about ten seconds from click to click for me, so if it was an attack the dude would have to be super fast on the keyboard and very lucky. I'm thinking the most plausible out of your explanations is the syringe thing, followed by plain old sudden death, followed by attacking. In that order. Respectively. Yes.

The previous zombie appeared to have been revived, because there was another strange smelling body in the space. The page that came up was very stretched, and was a DNA scan of a second zombie in the stack, with a "Revivify this specimen" under it, and I still had the syringe in my inventory. I was surprised, so I repeated the process to see if it was just a random glitch, but it worked again. I still had the syringe, though I was running out of AP like normal.

This gives me the strange feeling like I've seen it before elsewhere in other games. Is it possible that destroying the syringe is last in the script instead of being done at the sameish time as the revive, like they are set as seperate actions?

Those last two images are caused by the browser loading the page but not the CSS. I get that in Firefox when someone on the LAN is using bandwidth-intensive applications (P2P, for instance). If you weren't doing anything like that, it could be that the server was under stress at the time and couldn't send the stylesheet, and your browser hadn't cached it... Cctoide 16:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Now that you mention it, although I occasionally get any of these (often a refresh will fix it), a good number of these seem to occur during sieges in-game, and I notice a good bit of server lag. If that's the cause, which is a good chance, I guess not much can be done. The really annoying thing is when you refresh the page, it often tries to repeat the action, wasting AP and IP hits, but I doubt anything can be done about that either.--Kolechovski 19:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I've confirmed the same from another example, but no screeny yet.

Not actually true, it's working how it should. Dead bodies are counted as survivors which means they don't have the status effect dead.--Karek^maps?! 21:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC) Actually, that's in the profile, where they only become "zombie" once they stand up. However, when PKed or mauled to death by a zed, you get the status effect "dead" after your name, before you even stand up, so when infected and dying, you should become "dead" as soon as the last HP vanishes.--Kolechovski 16:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

If i use all of my alts action points, and log out then try to access my survivor, I will get the first screen saying where i am how many action points i have, and that i am the right character, but when i try to move when the screen refreshes I get a grey background instead of the city and teh message You cannot think anymore. I can then log out of my zombie character, and log in to my survivor, I will be in the same place without having used any action points, but still unable to play why i try to move or after refreshing the screen for ay reason.

OK, I'll try to remember just to get the URLs. Anyhow, are you sure none of these are bugs? Well, they're not bugs in game-terms, but still, they're grammar issues, and there's no other place to report these. BTW, I have more to report, so here they come...

There shouldn’t be a comma after “evacuated”.

http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=01vn4.png

After “You study,” there should be a comma.

http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=02uq8.png

There should be a comma after Fort Creedy, as that is a list of 3 items or more.

http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=03ui6.png

After “revivication points”, there should be a comma. Also, in that picture, you can clearly see a couple types of locations that were forgotten for the snow change. Streets and parks have a visible change that shows that snow on them. Monuments and carparks are also open areas that would be under the snow and appear white, but as you can see from the map, they still appear gray. I’m sure this was just oversight, but since the snow should continue for a while, and it’s just a color fix, could you modify those to white like the others?

Tuning portable radios still costs 2 AP, while tuning a radio transmitter only costs 1. I thought that there was something in peer reviewed (though I’m offline while typing this, so I can’t look) about changing that to 1 AP. Until that happens, could you do something about this? This is what happens when trying to retune the radio with 1 AP left. If you click the “Tune” button, you’re not allowed to finish tuning and have essentially wasted that last AP. At the least, the retuning should be allowed to finish, putting you at –1 AP, as most actions that require multiple AP to complete do so, rather than sticking you with nothing and wasting the AP you tried to spend.

"Organized" in the military reports is wrongfully spelled as "organised".--Kolechovski 01:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

More...in the FAQs…

Am I allowed to play multiple characters? You are, provided that they lead completely separate existences within the game - your characters should not collaborate, nor share (or stand outside) the same building. Multiple characters found to be working together in a suspicious fashion will be automatically flagged, penalised or even banned permanently by the system. If you're running a few characters, it's best to make sure that they stay in separate suburbs.

-Penalized is spelled wrong, and there should be a comma after it.

Is there any merchandise? There's an official Urban Dead Mall at Cafepress where you can buy T-shirts, mugs and badges, if you really want to. It's all base-price, we don't make any money from them.

-There should be a semicolon, instead of a comma, after base-price.

Can I modify my profile or password?

-You should note that the modification of password isn’t available anymore, due to being “down for maintenance”, even though I have no idea why maintenance would be taking so long.

Why am I being told that I have "accessed this server too many times today"? (This limit is now being waived for players who have donated to support the game; anyone donating more than $5 may nominate one character to have unresticted access, per $5.)

-You should say anyone donating $5 may nominate one character, as with the per $5, because those 2 sound contradictory as is. Also, “unrestricted” is spelled wrong.

-In addition to these, I recommend adding a header on Infection, as many new people don’t seem to know what to do about it when it happens. I also recommend adding under “How do I talk to other people” a paragraph about radios, including which frequencies can be broadcast from or listened to, including the frequency often used by newbies. Also, it seems a common question is about encumbrance, so I recommend adding a section addressing what it means and how it works, as newbie survivors often ask about that.

-Another grammar error is in the military broadcasts, when talking about organized groups of zeds…”organized” is spelled wrong.

In this screenshot, there shouldn’t be a comma after impassable.

http://img266.imageshack.us/my.php?image=00tc7.png

Also, in these next 3 pics, the right quotes should be placed at the end, not below the text. There may be other poems affected by this, but I haven’t found them yet, so maybe a quick glance through your poetry database can find and fix all that suffer this.

However it still tells me that none of my contacts are nearby, or rather none of my horde and most of those bodies are of my horde. It's confusing in the extreme and can give the impression that there are lots of unfamiliar zombies there, and since tracking your horde is one of the main uses to Scent Death I'm thinking this might not have been an intentional implementation.

Contact's Mobile Phone Issues

Description:	Bercause I am using a different stash of computers while upgrades are under way around here, I am on less-than-fully-functional machines. Unfortunately, these computers don't seem to be able to handle forums nicely, and they often fail to load, and I get zillions of Page Not Displayed errors or just a blank background. Since I have lost contact with group members due to this, I thought of reestablishing it through the help of Mobile Phones. A couple contacts from one of my alts have Mobile Phones (or at least they appeared to from the contact list). The problem is that alt doesn't have a Mobile Phone. But another one does. So, I tried to add the contacts to my other alt who has a Phone, so he could call up the contact and work something out. Unfortunately, for some reason, any of these Phone-holding contacts no longer appear to have a Mobile Phone from my alt's contact list, and I am unable to call any of them. And in the insanely unlikely event that all phone-holding contacts were online and dropped their phones while I was switching, I logged back in with my original alt. According to his contact list, the contacts still have Mobile Phones. And when I look at my alt's contact list, any contacts that were already on that had Mobile Phones still appear to, and I can contact them just fine, so it only seems to affect the new contacts added. I don't wish to give away account names unless absolutely required, but here's a screenshot of the problem. The person displayed as Sofia is supposed to have a Mobile Phone. picture

Radio/Mobile Phone Text Boxes

Description:	Unfortunately, since I’m not a wiki guru, and the page I’m using is an offline page stored rather than a URL link, I may not be able to reproduce this completely. Basically, I’ll just use pictures to get my point across. Since some people apparently don’t have a problem with this, it’s moved from a suggestion to a bug report. Basically, the digitized text for tuning the radio frequency, as well as the text when typing a radio or mobile phone message, is illegible. It’s annoying to have to copy and paste everything into Notepad just to fix a spelling mistake, because you can’t see the letters as they appear and can’t fix it right in the message box. And if you’re retuning the radio, and you get a digit in the wrong place or whatever, you don’t find out until you’ve wasted an AP tuning to the wrong frequency. The digitized text RECEIVING phone messages is okay though, it’s just the stuff you put into the rectangular box that’s problematic. Although the digitized format is obviously a flavor thing, the size of the text and its bolded appearance make it impossible to read inside the boxes. This also makes it terrible picking a mobile phone contact. Here are some pictures of the problem. I’m stuck using Internet Exploiter, as are many who play on school/library/college computers, if that makes a difference. Many others have seen this as well, while some don’t seem to experience it. picture 1 picture 2

Comment(02/11/08): I picked up this skill on my character a couple of weeks ago and now after the first hit that triggers tangling grasp, all my other hit chances get reduced significantly. It's like instead of adding 10% to my chance to hit, it is instead setting my chance to hit equal to 10%. I've been on everyday for the past two weeks with this character and used every single action point on this. Doesn't matter what time of day, if I wait between hits, if I change targets, if I move to another suburb, etc. Always hit/entangle and then miss from that point on. I've gone through hundreds of APs on this and I'm not earning any XP because of it. The character is basically unplayable now. 8( —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wren (talk • contribs) at 21:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC).

For me, Tangling Grasp often does not work. I will grab hold of a character, but then I will not crush down on their shoulders, nor do I loose the grasp. Every time I hit it will say that I grabbed onto their shirt/chain/whatever, as if it was the first time I was hitting. AnonBorgTech001 22:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Also posted as comment under 49 misses in a row: Ever since I bought tangling grasp, the first or second hit will succeed, informing me that I've caught some article of clothing. Every subsequent attack misses. I'm never informed that I've lost my grip. I'm currently letting my AP recharge. Once I get to 50, I'm going to see how many misses I get in a row. --AusIV 16:27, 30 April 2008 (BST)

However, other people in the building are now very confused by what went on, as they've logged in afterwards, and they have seen none of the exchange, only military reports. So, it looks like the server stores the fact that there was a broadcast, and then when a character logs in, fills in the broadcast with something from whatever channel the radio is tuned to, rather then what was actually said. Interestingly, my broadcasts can't be seen by others in the room either, as the Radio is currently on the Military frequency, and you can't broadcast on the Military channel... I can provide the broadcasts I received and the broadcasts that another person actually saw on request, but I'd rather do that privately for privacy purposes.

There were a few times that it was in the correct place, but I have no idea what I did/didn't do to change things. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.9, have 1920X1200 resolution, and run my browser at fullscreen. Shrinking the window doesn't fix it, either. Is it just me, or what?

So you lost your binoculars? Did you recently drop an item? You might have accidently selected the binoculars.-- AHLG T G THE END IS NIGH! 22:06, 16 October 2007 (BST) To report back on this, I noticed when I was about to drop an item the other day, that after I selected it from the drop down box, the box scrolled up for a second and selected a different item. This problem has happened frequently in another game as well, so I think this may be what happened with those Binoculars. It's in Microsucks Internet Exploiter, if that matters.

It should ask you if you want to resubmit POST data – mine does. This is a browser feature, not a bug.

You can remove it if you want to.

If I don't know any zombies in a group of them, I don't get the "attack a zombie" selection, and I can only see survivors in my dropdown (and this was in a crowd of 18 zombies and 20 or so survivors).

Relatedly, or seemingly relatedly, with 2 zombies in a revive point, and one of them in my contact list, selected "a zombie" rather than my contact's name results in my contact being DNA scanned.

So, I can use an overflow property with a value set to "scroll," but if I try to set the value to "auto", so that I don't have the horizontal scroll-bar (or the vertical) when it isn't needed, the wiki tells me the following: The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to an external site. The following text is what triggered our spam filter: overflow: "a-u-t-o" Now, I know what the purpose is for this, but how about we block a "height: 1px" as spam, rather then the "overflow: a-u-t-o"? Note: I have to change "auto" to "a-u-t-o" in the examples, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save the page.' This may seem trivial, but it's a great property to use in tables, to keep excess text from upsetting cell proportions, as well as other locations in the wiki where there may occasionally be an excess of text that would disrupt other elements, but you'd rather not have scroll-bars hanging around when they aren't actually needed.

Description:	Over the past few days I've been on the receiving end of some pretty horrible results from attacks/searching between my two characters (Nightforge and JustTesting). Now I can't really say anything concrete about the search odds (was getting more knives/junk than FAKs in an infirmary), but since I know my hit percentages I can at least talk about those. Over the last 2 days of active gameplay (not including some downtime from being dead) I've had streaks of misses when attacking my targets that have had less than a 1% chance of happening (40% to hit, 10+ misses in a row), and I've gone through AT LEAST two such streaks. Not that I've ever had the best luck in the game, but when something this extreme happens more than once in such a small timeframe I have to ask if I'm running into something that's affecting my odds.

Discussion
Well, happened again. This time I got the same result (It creaks.) 5 times in a row (with a 25% chance of it happening) against a barricade with JustTesting. There's roughly a 0.1% chance of that happening. Maybe some work needs to be done on the randomness of the game? --Nightforge 21:35, 3 September 2007 (BST)

How close are your 2 characters to each other? --~~~~ [Talk ] 09:47, 4 September 2007 (BST)

Hmm... guess I forgot to mention that. At the time of all these observations, they were 3-5 suburbs apart. The closest they've ever come is within 2 suburbs of each other (and that lasted all of 3 minutes as one moved away after the other moved towards).

ALSO, I'd like to note that I've now had the opposite happen. Nightforge managed to find at least 5 FAKs in a row in about 5 seconds (again, terribly poor odds of this happening). I'm almost certain now that this is a problem with how random outcomes are determined. --Nightforge 03:29, 9 September 2007 (BST)

Wait...when you say infirmary, would you mean in the forts, or just a plain hospital? And was there a genny inside as well? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{^{^{^{^{#nerftemplatedsigs}}}}} 03:47, 9 September 2007 (BST)

Yep, it was in the Creedy Infirmary with a generator running. Went a whole day without finding an FAK if I remember right. --Nightforge 06:38, 12 September 2007 (BST)

Hmm, 5 in a row does seem quite unlikely. Shouldn't happen more then once about every 18,000 times, or so. While I understand that random is odds within a range are random, and having a failure or success in no way make you more or less likely to succeed or fail on a subsequent attempt. Even so, I was searching for revive syringes the other day, and I was shocked at the number of DNA extractors and GPS units I found, and how few syringes. It almost makes me think there are some additional factors in the system, causing flux in the system, perhaps? Not a problem, if it's intended. --Morgan Blair 18:52, 9 September 2007 (BST)

Yeah, but my problem isn't how unlikely it is... it's how often these unlikely events happen. Once again, more occurrances. Just mauled a zombie 4 times in a row with a 25% chance to hit. There's a 0.4% chance of that happening. I'd also like to note that MOST of the times this kind of thing happens there's virtually no lag in the responses from the game. --Nightforge 06:38, 12 September 2007 (BST)

Your understanding of statistics is too lay - yes any particular 4 attacks have only a 0.4% of being all successful, but whether the previous attack was successful or not does NOT affect your next attack. Please refer yourself to Gambler's Fallacy]. I'll try to find the right way to calculate how many 4-hits-in-a-row you'd be likely to get out of 50 AP, in the meantime. 'arm . 16:45, 12 September 2007 (BST)

Well, I can't remember (or find) the wikipedia article I read last month that explained how to calculate, so I'll leave that for now. On a related now, I just read a slashdot article on how to generate TRUE randomness. If *that* could be implemented, I'd be very happy :). 'arm . 17:16, 12 September 2007 (BST)

The odds of having at least one streak of 4 hits in 50 AP is roughly 1.2%. That becomes about 1.6% if you instead ask at least one streak of 4 hits or more. My knowledge of statistics is fine (I'm a math major), I just prefer not to talk over other people's heads. As such, I prefer to look at stuff like this as "what are the odds of my next 'X' attacks being hits?" in posts like these. Also, thanks for the link, I enjoyed it. =) --Nightforge 10:32, 16 September 2007 (BST)

Oops, looks like I overlooked something when calculating those numbers. It'd take too much to fix them right now, but the error shouldn't have too much of an effect on the numbers. I'll try to remember to post corrected results tomorrow, need sleep. --Nightforge 10:41, 16 September 2007 (BST)

How close together were these attacks/searches? I suspect this may be another occurrence of this bug. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 19:38, 15 September 2007 (BST)

I've actually been thinking the same thing in the last few days, as most (if not all) of these odd streaks seem lagless. And to answer your question, I'd attack/search again as soon as the page reloaded. --Nightforge 10:32, 16 September 2007 (BST)

13 misses in a row, 50% chance to hit. Lagless about half the time. Need I comment more? Again, it doesn't bother me that this kind of thing happens, it's that it happens so amazingly often. If I were to report every time something like this happened, this commentary would easily more than triple in size. --Nightforge 22:13, 16 September 2007 (BST)

The way I work around this is by waiting a little if I miss a few times in a row. :) This definitely seems like the same bug as Button Spams, so I would assume that would make it a "Bug Reported More Than Once"? ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 09:07, 17 September 2007 (BST)

I can confirm this. I've been in a ruined building that had a running generator and working lights (it did say they were on), yet it was still only visible from the map as a ruined building. A darker yellow would be nice, IMO. --Nightforge 03:41, 9 September 2007 (BST) This is well known already, and suggestions have been made to add a new "ruined but lit" color.

umm, maybe someone else has the same IP as you and used it quickly, ( your cpu may have lagged or something, and someone else used the ip while you laged?--Jj the survivor 03:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

IPs identify you individually. No two people have the same IP at the same time. What you're suggesting is that Sergeant CinnamonBun lost his IP for the duration of the five moves, only to get it back, which would be a one in a million chance and definitely would only happen in combination with an ISP disconnection.

On a different note, depending on what moves were made, there are some that count as more IP hits, specifically, syringes cost as many server hits as IP hits. -pinkgothic 22:04, 15 July 2008 (BST)

Yeah, I saw that. But it still seems more like a bug that something which should be added via a suggestion. I mean, how do the zombies leave unless they are opening the doors. They can't float through walls. The only reason I could think for this being like this is so that newbie zombie without memories of life aren't trapped inside buildings. But then, fire doors (for example) don't use handles and so there should be no need for memories of life to exit a building. 'arm . 04:22, 14 July 2007 (BST)

Can't seem to replicate this. I've not made any changes to the random number generator for six months or so, so I'd imagine it would have been tried and noticed before now. It wouldn't be a massive exploit anyway (there'd be no way to know in advance whether you'd get eight syringes, or eight DNA extractors, or eight failed searches), but if it can be replicated, I'll fit some simple cogs to stop it happening. --Kevan 16:32, 24 August 2006 (BST)
- True, it's exploitability is limited, though I think I can still get this to happen. I'm searching in a powered mall, and I'm searching in bursts of 5 searches by clicking very rapidly on the search button, and it seems on a successful burst, all searches come back positive, and all are negative on a bad search. Albeit, I am looking and expecting this to happen, so my results may be biased and I may have miscounted by one, and I don't have the resources (AP) to test this at any necessary level. I couldn't get this happen at work, as per my 15:42, 24 August 2006 comment, and I don't know what's different there. But if you can't reproduce it and are alright with it, then that's good enough for me. I believe there's a suggestion on the talk page right now proposing only accepting one command per half second or something like that, so that would take care of this, I assume. --Burgan 05:45, 25 August 2006 (BST)

He could have been active and bounced (got back up) when someone killed him. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 06:26, 4 June 2008 (BST)

Skill Loss After Suicide Jump

Timestamp:	20:00, 26 April 2007 (BST)
Originally reported by:	thegreathal

Description:	Someone revived my character Zombie Ayn Rand (http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=825533), which is a bad idea. No one wants to hear Ayn Rand. However, the problem is that after jumping to death from 42,40 the Gumm Building (not NT) in Barrville, character only had 25% listed chance of attacking with hands, instead of 50% skill bought in XP a few days ago. The next turn, the attack did go back to 50%. This happen often?

I think similar things have happened with other skills... --V2Blast ^{T•P!•C•SR} 22:59, 17 May 2007 (BST)

I thought that was intentional. --Pdeq^Talk* 17:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Just noticed this. It's not a bug and actually skill loss didn't actually happen. It's known that attack percentages that are displayed don't refresh immedeately. It just shows you false info on 1 page load --~~~~ [talk ] 19:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

This bug is already reported above.--Pdeq^Talk* 20:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually the above one is a bug already reported here ;) (check datestamps). I'll remove this from the page when i'll get to write a normal Non-Bug page --~~~~ [talk ] 20:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Is it me or is this page not in a linear order? --Pdeq^Talk* 20:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The order is "newest at top" and i try to move stuff to top when it's added to bottom, but people still mess up often --~~~~ [talk ] 20:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Two Shells For One Shot

Description:	I'm going to be frank. I am a PKer. I was attempting to kill someone, and I needed to reload my shotgun. I use the UDToolbar, which graphically organizes my inventory, and I had 5 shotgun shells. I reloaded my shotgun once, and then I had three. I reloaded it again, and had 1. However, I only had 2 shells in a single shotgun. The other two were just gone from my inventory. I've reloaded my shotgun plenty, and this has never happened. Because of said bug, I had to spend an extra 10 ap trying to hit the dude with a pistol. (Still killed him though, but that's not a part of the bug) Oh yes, the character is SgtBop, of course.

Ah, I see now, this is just a repost of an old bug in that other section, something about 2 syringes to revive. Guess its because I'm using the UDToolBar... ah well. --SgtBop 05:57, 22 June 2007 (BST)
