Bug reports should contain as much specific information as possible:-

• Datestamp your reports. Reports of old bugs reappearing will likely be ignored as outdated reports of the old bug, if you don't give a timestamp.
• If it's a bug that affects your character, you should specify your character's name.
• If it's a bug that affects a building, specify as much information about it as you're happy to give without betraying any safehouse locations.
• If it sounds like a display issue, specify the browser you're using, and any Firefox extensions you may have installed.
• Use this template:

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

If Kevan fixes a bug, move it to Fixed 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.

Transmitter broadcasts do not retain tuning

Timestamp:	20:16, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Originally reported by:	Bob Moncrief EBD•W!
Current Status:	new
Severity:	unassigned
Description:	If a transmitter is set to a certain frequency in a building, then is changed, others who log in in the building see it as though it was set to the new frequency since their last action, not since the transmitter was retuned. This includes material broadcast from that building. For example, I broadcast material on 27.55 in a building then changed the transmitter to 26.43. When Ororo Monroe logged in a minute later, she did not see my broadcast, but instead saw a nine-hour-old message on 26.43, when the transmitter was not set to that: dumwit. (She's not carrying a 26.43 radio.) She then broadcast on 26.43, retuned it back to 27.55, and when I logged in, I did not see the broadcast: dumwit. Not a critical bug, but it means it's possible to e.g. go into a building, change the tune, broadcast, and change it back with other denizens of the building none the wiser.

Description:	Normally, moving from the gatehouse to any building within the fort, with or without freerunning, will deposit the character outside said building. However, attempting to move to a ruined one will give the normal message for attempting to free ruin into a ruined building i.e. "you are forced to street level" or "you lose your footing" complete with health loss in the second case. Additionally, attempting to free run into the ruined armory will give one of the two messages as well as the normal message stating the impossibility of free running into the armory. [1]

Comments here A recently-cut fir tree has been propped up in a crude stand.

I can confirm. [2]. I believe trees and other holiday decorative items have different rules than typical decorative items. They are more like generators and radio transmitters. Since you can interact with them, they are always visible, even in the dark. I don't believe this is a bug, but the wiki page for darkness should be updated. ~ _{18:32, 15 March 2011}

This is not a bug, you should take this to someplace like this where they deal with zergs.--^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 17:56, 6 April 2010 (BST)

Agreed, take it to a place where zergs are dealt with. It's possible, though unlikely, that this is merely a case of different players who intentionally used similar names (e.g. Pathetic Bill, Silly Lilly Pilly, etc.), though the folks at Resens or elsewhere would be better suited to say. If they actually are zergs, then there are already measures in the game to catch them, and if the measures aren't working, it's not a bug, so much as the zergs finding a way to circumvent the system. —Aichon— 21:44, 6 April 2010 (BST)

The fucking FAQs say no fucking thing about reporting this here, in fact they state clearly:

How do I report game abuse or zerging?

You don't.

So why do you think you're so special you get to ignore the same directives from the creator of the game that you claim to be quoting? Fuckwit. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:37, 7 April 2010 (BST)

Obviously since he is a zerger...and it was confirmed that his 5 clones at that same point were running around there the little flags in the game failed. He also has 13 of the same zerger names. From the FAQ: How do I report game abuse or zerging?

There's no need to email reports in - if there's some exceptional bug-based game abuse going on, you can file it as a bug report on the Wiki for attention.

so go fuckwit yourself.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kwicks (talk • contribs) 7 April 2010.

Digestion only worth 3 HP

Timestamp:	20:28, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Originally reported by:	Bystander
Current Status:	new
Severity:	Unknown
Description:	This happened in Monroeville, so I'm not sure if this is of any consequence to any of the other cities. Another roving zombie tried to eat a corpse. And again. And again. And again. And once more. They gained 3 HP each time instead of 4. They are wearing a tattered surgical mask which means their teeth still show. Is this a bug, a mask issue, or an update?

Discussion
Personally, i think that is a mistake in Wiki. I see no reason, that good bite of warm meat and sip of salty blood would help you less, than cold rotting carrion. Perosnally, i'd even make HP income frmo corpse less than incom from biting the survivior. I guess if Kevan would care, he can clarify his point of few. I re-read wiki after your msg, and there realyl is claimed 4HP for corpse, i admit. But before it i never expected >3HP on this skill. BTW, is there (or was someday) soem skillset, so Z would bite for 4HP ? Perhaps someday bite corpse was calibrated to be equal to max-power bite on enemy, and later bite was made less dangerous, and corpse were forgotten to afjust accordingly ? Shambler for Shambala 19:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

The problem is not in the Wiki. I encountered the digestion only healing 3 HP yesterday and actually thought it was the correct number and Wiki was wrong. It was a regular zombie in Molton, no masks or anything else funny. However, using Digestion today on the same character it is consistently healing 4 HP per bite. So definitely there is something strange in the code. Kay VanRaven 12:55, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Infected without Being Bitten/Attacked at All

Timestamp:	20:31, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Originally reported by:	Pakopako
Current Status:	new
Severity:	Pretty nasty
Description:	My character was in an unlit NT building with as many as 5 active zombies. They were not bitten yet became infected. If this was lag, notice of an infection, or successful bite attack, did not appear for the rest of my AP barricading. Here is the moment just before I became "infected", the following AP, and the next message I received that I was attacked at all. This is not a 0-second bug as no message even popped up (0 seconds ago) indicating I was attacked at all. I left a message in game for the zombies to try and post evidence they succesfully attacked me here.

Discussion
I see your HP dropped by 5 between iWitnesses; accounting for the 1 HP from infection, that means you took 4 damage, which the samage a bite does. Sometimes messages can be lost when lots of people are active (ask me about the time I survived ~90 HP damage in one night with no apparent healing), so I'm inclined to chalk it down to that.

Without further knowledge I wouldn't say it's a 0-second bug, but they may be related. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 05:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I can confirm this as an actual bug. I just infected someone without hitting to cause any damage. As in I went to bit, missed, but they still got infected. See before as I stood up and after when I attacked. I missed but the colour changed to suggest they are infected.

It might be of note that I had just risen from the dead after dying from an infection, and I had attacked once with my fire axe before. I have also just noticed that I still had the option to 'fix' the generator when I stood up as a zed? --ORakoon 22:40, 15 June 2010 (BST)

I believe yours is a case of lag. Much like when zombies rise in malls, they can only see their current corner until they make an action, and in this case the infection (something you can only see as a zombie) wasn't viewable until it registered you.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 22:53, 15 June 2010 (BST)

I have to agree. The fact that it didn't show up until the "after" shot, which is also when you can no longer fix the generator, indicates that it's probably an issue with identifying your state of living or death and providing you with the correct options. —Aichon— 03:01, 16 June 2010 (BST)

AP Constantly Dropping to -1 Regardless of Current AP

Timestamp:	Constantly through September 19, 2008
Originally reported by:	--02:20, 20 September 2008 (BST)~~ (Ragriav)
Current Status:	new
Severity:	medium
Description:	My character, Ragriav, is a zombie and one time I revived and had -1 AP after reviving. Now, for today, I have been trying to act by moving about whenever 1 AP appeared. However, the AP seems to be recharging slower than 30 minutes, since after checking back after an hour and a half I had just recovered one AP. What is even more disturbing is the fact that every time I took an action it dropped me back down to -1 AP! I do not understand how this can happen if one is supposed to lose 1 AP point, and not two. The problem with the slowly recharging AP also needs looking into. I urgently request help on the issue at hand. Thank you for your time and patience.

A few minutes later i refreshed the map with the link ( http://urbandead.com/map.cgi , not that you think i did something). Now my AP was 0, so i refreshed again. Then they dropped to -1AP. I had this already yesterday and lost 3AP on it. --Deathmarine 13:36, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

not that you think i did something) - that depends how refresh made in the browser. Paste URL into address bar and Opera would open last version from cache, and Mozilla would refetch new page from server, not remember MSIE way. Press refresh button/gesture and browser most probably woud repeat last action, even if it has no more sense like second syringe into the same z. Carefully track what actions you do and what AP-cost they have. As of now it seems DDRJake is right and you just try actions that cost several AP. For example revivification, beeing single action takes 10AP and you can fall to -9AP easily. Shambler for Shambala 19:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

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...

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.

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

These might be related. One of my zombies didn't get any XP from certain attacks. Could it be a zero-second issue? Bystander 20:21, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Discussion
Screenshots/iwitness or some more detail would be nice. Could you describe the sequence of events specifically? From what it sounds like, you were doing searches, found a flaregun, found some items afterwards, and then you moved somewhere else and entered the URL manually. At that point, it seemingly teleported you back to the location where you had found the items, and you started finding them again in the same order. Is that correct? Honestly, it sounds more like a browser cache issue than a bug with the game, I have to say, especially since the description was rather sparse. Now, if you suddenly have 2x of each of those items, then we might have something to discuss, but you gave no indication of that. —Aichon— 03:11, 29 June 2010 (BST)

I don't have iwitness and screenshots take forever on my computer.

It happens (for me) on different browsers, and now confirmed different ISPs (though geolocatably similar subsets of the non-RFC 1918 ranges, I suppose) so very surprised it has not been reported by others already. To try to replicate, I offer the following generic instructions: From a properly logged-in state, go to any valid profile page. I'll use https://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=2000000 for this run-through, but quote just "NAME" for simplicity, as required. The 'button' at the page-end for "Add NAME to your Contacts List" will send you to https://www.urbandead.com/contacts.cgi?add=2000000 Normally/previously (so long as you aren't hitting the 150-contact limit!) one would get a "Added to contacts." header to the newly updated list with NAME now present. If you still do, it either is fixed, or never was broken for you. Current behaviour, however is to get a "Confirm that you want to add NAME to your contact list." header with a 'button'-link of "Add NAME". I have never even seen this before this week, but I accept that it's something useful if clicked in from unknown cross-site source pages with the add-link (the quoted HTTP GET query URI format, or otherwise?) The destination for the confirming Add link is https://www.urbandead.com/contacts.cgi?add=2000000&confirmed=1 But that page is identical to the one you just left except for the revised address bar for the browser itself. Changing the URI to https://www.urbandead.com/contacts.cgi?add=2000000&confirm=1 and resubmitting sometimes gives the "Added to contacts." result. In fact, it happened first time for this run-through. I discovered this only from a (seemingly) inspired guess. For all I know, the query-parser at the CGI backend is actually ambivalent as to the exact fieldname tense and it is only coincidence that the original link always failed in the recent days of awkwardness. However, it still does not always work. It frequently also gives the same "Confirm..." header as you just left (for "confirmed=") and this does not seem to be due to cached page-contents/responses (where shift-F5 is possible, or other forced-resubmit option is used). Immediately prior to starting this BugRep, I had persistently failed to Add a new (actually useful) contact even with "confirm=", which led to the BugRep you now see. Having succeeded with "add=2000000", I (re)refreshed that still-tabbed page and it worked!. I then tried a further (fresh, new randomly selected) profile from scratch and it failed at "add=", "add=&confirmed=" and "add=&confirm=" stages. Go figure. ...so, for your consideration. At least until the weirdness just goes away, if it's a heisenbug of some kind.

Discussion
Fuck me that's a lot of text. Just reenter the link of the page after clicking add. On a phone refresh doesn't work but if you click on the address line and then click "go" it works. I assume a pc is similar. --_K 22:30, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Revive failed as if rotter, but target not a rotter

I doubt it's because of a zerg flag on my character because I just successfully revived another zombie at the same location.

Discussion
Just to be sure, when you say "tried to revive this one", you mean "created crazy" is in your contact list, and you selected that name in the drop down menu when using a needle, or had just scanned them and used the "revive this specimen" button? Because otherwise, it is conceivable that there was another zombie presnet in your loaction which you never saw (because, say, the moved in after you loaded your page, and move out again just after you used your needle). Using a needle on "the zombie" never ensure you actually hit the zombie you want, even if (as far as you know) there is only one zombie present.  Swiers 20:01, 28 May 2011 (BST)

I used the "revivify this specimen" button. --Explodey 12:15, 31 May 2011 (BST)

I figured that it was a bug that would be fixed within a few days and waited. My screen still does not show user HP. Also, today I bought skills in shotgun training, advanced shotgun training, and lab experience. Once I bought these, the percentages of all hit rates for weapons have decreased. I have every military skill and my hit rates have always been higher for each weapon I chose than they are now. I have dropped to what appears to be basic starting percentages for chance of hit rate as if I had no skills at all: punch 12.5%, knife 25%, pistol 32.5%, shotgun 32.5%, and fire axe 20%. The amount of damage looks correct and unchanged, though. My character's name is "Victoria Anne". Thank you.

Highly doubt this is a bug. What I'm guessing is this: You got the original message the first time you tuned your radio, and since then, this is the second time you've tuned it. Am I on the money?

I then re-tuned again to 26.75Mhz and got "The reception remains clear". Finally, I tuned it back to 26.98Mhz and got "The radio begins to hiss static".

Description:	I died at Hurst Square School. (95, 38) I am Caboose661. I died normally, but before then, I lost HP for no reason. It could have been hacking, but then I would have just jumped from a building. I lost HP without any prompts saying who hit me or that I even took damage. I know that I was supposed to be at 59 HP, but I was at 19 HP. 40 HP is a big jump, and is pretty hard to miss. Somebody please tell me how I just got hurt.

Discussion
I see that you have Free Running. Were you trying to enter ruined buildings via Free Running? Doing so has a chance to take off 5HP for each time you do it. Also, maybe you were infected? You didn't tell us that you weren't, but it's the most obvious answer. Otherwise, it's possible you were attacked without actually having noticed the messages. I really don't know for sure. —Aichon— 22:30, 6 October 2010 (BST)

No, I didn't have an infection, but yes, the free-running may have been the cause because my character is sometimes moved to safety by another person. They say that they don't think they fell off. Also, I've never had to move back inside afterwards, so I trust that they didn't fall. And that it would take 8 drops in the 2-3 times that they've played since the last time I checked my health.

The most likely cause was that the zombie I got to follow me broke in then got kicked out after gnawing on me. Without me being told that a zombie gnawed my left arm off.-Caboose661 00:42, 7 October 2010 (BST)

If multiple people are playing your character, then the messages regarding the attacks would have gone to whichever of you logged on first after the attack happened. I've had cases where I logged on, but then quit my browser without seeing the messages (i.e. I missed them, since they only get displayed to me once, and I didn't look at them), and then later logged on, only to wonder why I was low on HP or infected. Also, sharing accounts is generally frowned upon, since it very quickly leads to concerns regarding zerging and alt abuse, just so you're aware. —Aichon— 05:49, 7 October 2010 (BST)

They didn't log on after that. It's probably that I just didn't get the notification. I didn't check my HP for two days, and in that period the guy I was staying with lost HP and the barricades were down a little bit. I was also tagging zombies to get them to follow me. The strange part was that it was just one zombie that would brought the barricades down from EHB and then hurt us both.-Caboose661 00:21, 12 October 2010 (BST)

Jose, I would guess that you must have hit 50AP and "reset" your timer again so that it's not at X:16 and X:46 any longer, but rather at some other time. Instead of counting it that way, I'd suggest waiting about 1.5 hours and seeing if you get 2-3AP. If you do, then all is probably fine. —Aichon— 21:03, 2 August 2010 (BST)

Axe, that's incorrect. The AP ticks happen at whatever time you last went from 50 to 49 AP. So, if I was at 50AP at 1:15 and use an AP then, I'll get my next one 30 minutes later at 1:45. There are even userscripts out there (not by me), that exploit this fact to tell you down to the minute when your AP will regenerate. —Aichon— 21:03, 2 August 2010 (BST)

Description:	Your detailed description of the bug you encountered. In a dark building (unlit bank), my zombie was the only character. I was ransacking, and I saw a "Smash Decorations" button. That was odd, because in the dark building, I couldn't SEE the decorations (not in the room description). After smashing a few, the "Smash Decorations" button went away. Screenshot: http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/4338/smashwhatyoucantsee.gif . This could be fixed by (a) allowing characters in dark rooms to see decorations, or (b) not allowing characters in dark rooms to see or smash decorations. Also, it might be funny to lower the percentage chance of smashing (from 100%)?

Discussion

Hmmm. I don't think this is reeeeeeally a bug, it's just a fine nuance in the game you think isn't consistent and should be changed. I'd suggest, if you really want this changed, to be taken to Suggestions. --

Syringe after DNA Extractor Bug

I am using Firefox 3.0.x and Greasemonkey scripts UDinventory, DSS phone, Urban_Dead_HUD, MassContact150, UDMap, UD A-GPS, UD Map Links, UD Victim Link. First attempt, and seeing mis-aimed results; Second attempt, same issue.

Perhaps it's one of those anti-zerging measures that is preventing him from getting a revive. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 04:39, 9 July 2010 (BST)

How very odd. I actually wrote or maintain a few of the scripts you use, but none of the ones I manage that you're using should modify the behavior of your buttons. I'm curious if anyone else can reproduce it, but they'd have to rush to that location pretty darn quickly... —Aichon— 05:56, 9 July 2010 (BST)

Has happened to me always since I use UDinventory. As I can work around it by contact-listing the revive candidate and then choosing him from the pulldown menu, it has never really bothered me. -- Spiderzed▋ 14:54, 9 July 2010 (BST)

OK, so the likely culprit is a glitch with a script (because I did revive the player the next day after adding them to my contact-listing) -- next time I revive, I'll leave GreaseMonkey off and try. Pakopako 05:29, 13 July 2010 (BST)

I might suggest just disabling that one script instead. —Aichon— 06:34, 13 July 2010 (BST)

Wish I had read this bug report a long time ago. I also us UDInventory and had a similar problem. I my case, I DNA Scanned and then clicked the button to revive that person and stuck a rotter instead. I don't think I'll be using UDInventory any longer. ~ _{06:07, 16 May 2011 (UTC)}

Log into wrong character

Description:	I log into one of my characters, and it takes me to the map.cgi screen for that character, right? Good. Except as soon as I perform an action, I'm logged into my character in Monroeville. This happens for all of my other characters, too.

Discussion
Did you log out of your character (the one it's logging you in as against your will) last time? If not, then you could still be logged into them and need to log out of them first before it'll properly understand that you're trying to log into a different one. Basically, always log out first. Assuming you do that though, then the issue might be browser caching or session management. Either way, this is a known quirk of the game and has been around for quite some time. —Aichon— 04:43, 5 July 2010 (BST)

Getting Revived and Not Standing Up With Half HP

Character switch with one click

Discussion
I have this same problem once in a while. Here's what you do to fix it... close your browser window, open a new one, and re-log in with the character you're going to use. This works about 60-70% of the time for me. The other 30-40%, delete your cookies, close the browser, open a new window, and then re-log on. It should work. If it doesn't, let me know via my talk page please. I'd be interested in seeing how this works out. -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 03:21, 29 June 2010 (BST)

There's actually a much more easier 100% foolproof way to fix this, and that is to log out your character. Apparently, if you're running multiple characters, and you sign into one without first logging off, the game still thinks you're logged onto the first character, thus making the switch. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 22:13, 29 June 2010 (BST)

Actually, I've tried that, and still had the problem of it switching the characters over. Good try though. -_∞ Poodle of Doom _∞ 05:31, 5 July 2010 (BST)

I am receiving this problem as well: Specifically, between almost exactly 7:15 and 8:15 P.M. (CT) June 11th, I gained one AP on my character (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=2217882). 15 minutes later, I still hadn't received any more AP, so I went to sleep. As of now, It's happened only one other time (at this very moment, in fact, it's been about 40 minutes since I last had AP and I still haven't gained any). User:Wrpen 06:39, June 12th, 2015 (CT).

Could you be trying to refresh the last page (instead of just logging in fresh), causing it to attempt to perform an action (like barricading, attacking, searching) and using the APs without you noticing that they recharged (and were spent)? -- boxy 08:59, 13 June 2015 (BST)

As it turns out, that was exactly the problem. It still seems like a bug, though, that there isn't any way to see what's going on without spending AP or constantly logging out and logging back in. User:Wrpen 07:08, June 13th, 2015 (CT).

Well, UD isn't really a game that is designed to be constantly refreshed (as there is a daily AP and IP limit built in), but if you want to check back, follow a link to http://www.urbandead.com/map.cgi (which will take you directly to the UD interface, without taking an action) -- boxy 23:56, 13 June 2015 (BST)

The emails said the request came from 67.159.45.24, which WHOIS says is Woodstock in the US. Now, this is either a bug with the system, either by sending it in the first place or sending so many from one request or alternately someone's been requesting my password 93 times in an attempt to try and get into my character through stupidity. Who do we know on that IP address? While I'm here, can I finally get that donation flag removed on that character that someone donated for without my knowledge?

Discussion
Had you stood up before buying the skill? As far as I remember, when you're lying down, the skills available are based on what you were before lying down - so if you were killed, you can still buy survivor skills before you stand up as a zombie, and if revived, you can buy zombie skills before standing up as a survivor. I think. Don't quote me on it. 15:17, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, technically if you're not standing up yet, you're not a zombie yet. 19:24, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, let it be part of game design. But it seems to be quite counter-intuitive and non-comfort part of it :-( I can see no benefits for player with such a strange design. Shambler for Shambala 19:28, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

As was said, until you actually rise from the dead, you're just a dead body on the ground. Besides, the only two choices here are either to do it as it was done, or else to mark the change as soon as the person dies. Since most people stand up immediately, and it makes better in-genre sense to have them not be considered a zombie until they rise, I think it's fine. —Aichon— 23:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
