===Transmitter broadcasts do not retain tuning===
{{bug
|bug_time=20:16, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
|bug_author={{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}}
|bug_status=new
|bug_severity=unassigned
|bug_desc=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.


''None at this time''
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: [http://iamscott.net/1485461305661.html 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: [http://iamscott.net/1485461626649.html 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.

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.

A recently-cut fir tree has been propped up in a crude stand.
:I can confirm. [http://iamscott.net/1300213632163.html]. 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 [[dark|darkness]] should be updated. {{User:Vapor/sig}} <sub>18:32, 15 March 2011</sub>

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 ?

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. [[User:Polaria|Kay VanRaven]] 12:55, 8 May 2013 (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 [http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o272/OrangeRakoon/UrbanDead-TheCity_1276637578553.png before] as I stood up and [http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o272/OrangeRakoon/UrbanDead-TheCity_1276637554452.png 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? --[[User:ORakoon|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.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 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. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 03:01, 16 June 2010 (BST)

===AP Constantly Dropping to -1 Regardless of Current AP===

|bug_severity=medium
|bug_desc=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.

New Zombies take 2AP to walk each step.  The Lurching Gait Skill will reduce this cost to 1AP --[[User:DDRJake|DDRJake]] 18:56, 26 September 2008 (BST) 
Edit: Got this problem today (12 Februar 2009) on my character "Deathmarine". Got to the cemetery as zed with 2AP left. 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.
--[[User:Deathmarine|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. [[User:Annoynimouse|Shambler for Shambala]] 19:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

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. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 03:11, 29 June 2010 (BST)
I don't have iwitness and screenshots take forever on my computer. And it didn't teleport me back to the spot, I was in the same spot but when I clicked search again it went to "internet explorer can not display this webpage" so I just enterd in the url to search again. --[[User:Zamins|Zamins]] 22:07, 29 June 2010 (BST)

|bug_desc=From the bug date listed above till currently, there have been no further broadcasts of suburb status reports from the External Military forces on frequency 25.96MHz and without official word from on high about this particular game function shutting down I reckon it belongs here. The only further transmission of note was a *crash* *static* *silence* message heard on a handheld radio on 3 October 2024, first time I can recall such a blurb showing up on that channel and could very well mean it's kaputt. My limited understanding is the EMR was a system separated from the city itself but if there is a building out there we need to power I'd love to hear about it.

Hopefully you are on the money and this is due to a lack of change/activity in-game and not a sign of mechanics continuing to fall off from a lack of attention.

|bug_desc=I logged in as [https://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1768588 SlNlSTAR] and saw an odd view of the minimap. I was very definitely lying dead inside the southern half of Lumber Mall. The block I was in correctly displayed as a ruined interior, but the northern half of the mall displayed as a lit+ruined mall exterior. See:<br>[[File:Odd interior view.png|500px]]<br>Additional detail:
*I stood up, and the bug persisted. I shambled north into the northern half, and the bug resolved. I shambled back into the southern half, and the bug remained resolved.
*The northern section really was ruined+lit.
*When I last logged in, both sections of the mall displayed properly as either ruined or ruined+lit.
*I'm using Firefox on <small>(don't laugh)</small> Windows 7.
*Note that [[Lumber Mall]] is the only 2-block mall, and is on the [[border]].

Not quite a game-breaking bug, admitedly. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 05:28, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
That display glitch happens regularly in multi-block buildings (regardless of ruin status). Other malls, cathedrals and mansions behave similar when you get killed/revived but not dumped. The glitch fixes itself by rising and then either moving or simply reloading the page. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">▋</span>]]</span>''' 12:30, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

==='Colour'-tagging occasionally spontaneously changes for multiple Contact List entries===

|bug_desc=Partial 'corruption' (possible shifting/redistribution) of game-interface hues as assigned to/stored for known Contacts
|bug_talk=
<!-- PLACE YOUR COMMENTS **BELOW** THIS LINE - DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE -->
'''Long form 'description' of the issue:'''
<br />I use the Contact List to helpfully manage my interactions. e.g. Rotters have a hue to save me time investigating 'known names' in RP queues, with other cues to identify various types of friendlies, PKers, etc, including one to distinguish Rotters (thus unrevivable) yet can be Life-allied/Dual Role and deserving of health assistance whilst not a zombie. A common enough system, I hope. I won't detail what colours are what, that doesn't matter. Usually the only problem is when I've hit the 150-limit (often) and I need to find someone to remove (inactive, or not been notable) to squeeze in another I'd like to 'remember'.
<br />Some names I also know by sight, though. So it was obviously wrong to me when I had someone that I ''know'' to be full-on life-affirming 'good human' Survivor, and noted as building back up the 'cades in my present locale, appear in the activity log under a Rotter's version of the markup.
<br />Trawling the List, I now found multiple rotters ''not'' so marked. Admittedly, there's the option of gaining Rotter status after a good deed was noted by myself, but it was a large number of them (some with long-term notoriety) and roughly balanced against those with the opposite issue (you cannot even revoke Rotterdom, or any other 'skill', even if I wasn't sure some were pure Life-Allied players). Other recognised contacts were misclassified in less skill-obvious ways (e.g. non-rotter infamous Zeds, that I regularly have a run in with, looking like Survivor types; and vice-versa), but only obvious through familiarity.
<br />The pattern seemed to be mostly in the bottom fraction of the (alphabetical) Contact List, though a clear switch also happened up in the Ds (whilst unchanged/seemingly accurate tagging still peppered the whole list).
<br />This is not the first time it has happened, along these lines. Probably last time was several years back, once or twice before then. On none of these occasions have I had active UD Browser Plugins (I have used them prior to 2011, so I'm aware of their 'management' capabilities), the browsers themselves have probably varied (between FF, IE, Chrome, maybe until a year or two ago that minimalist tablet-based browser that stopped working due to certificates (not) updating for https access...), as have the character accounts in use. No reason to believe I 'misclicked' anything when perusing/managing the List (or certainly not so many of them!), nor that a third-party has hijacked whichever character account it was (each time) and just ''subtly'' 'vandalised' it. If you'll take my considered opinion, it seems more a dumb 'corruption' in the server, or server-browser link, than anything purely browser or PEBCAK in nature. Though I'm surprised that I have found no-one else mentioning this, after trying to find such a comment.
<br />I am half-inclined to believe that on adding (and, where necessary, removing) contacts, the "Name1=>Col1, Name2=>Col2 ... Name149=>Col149" was somehow disjointed (Nam149=>Col150, and back) on submitting legitimate and intentional changes. The 'shift' of Red onto a Green, that Green onto a Purple, its Purple onto a Black (where I can be certain what the originals are in cases of sequential mis-tagging) is obvious, but it's hard to rationalise by the spottiness of some of the changes. Nor with the HTML POST method of conveying them to the server that should not allow 'misalignments' except if the server does silly things with key/value pairs behind the scenes. Theoretically a similar shift-transference during non-alphabetical ordering (sorted by Level/XP, as I sometimes review the list, or loginId sorting internal to server?) and/or multiple disjointed updates could also be the issue, but still does not feel like the right answer. The difficulty is that the instant(s) of change may be from a few days or even a week before I actually noted any discrepancy, on each infrequent occasion I discovered it as happened, with other new updates to the list (with or without unintended misflaggings) happening between then and now. All I know is that I went digging further into the matter once I noticed the problem (and corrected/rationalised as it seemed fit to do, but without any actual offline list to cross-compare rigorously against). But I'm currently a bit more prepared to keep an eye out for any more imminent 'list corruptions', should it hiccup like this once(+) more shortly... And I hope all this anticipates many of the initial questions you might have. (Except for "why did you write so much?"...) Especially as there's no reason to believe that it's an easily replicatable bug/whatever-it-is. On past occasions, I aggressively temporarily Deleted Contacts and added random others to try to provoke mismatches (on the assumption that such 'shuffling' is most likely the cause), but it has never actually happened during such controlled testing.[[User:Longtimenewbie|Longtimenewbie]] ([[User talk:Longtimenewbie|talk]]) 14:48, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

===Broken/misbehaving Contact List addition function===
{{bug
|bug_time=21:53, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
|bug_author=[[User:Soupspoon|Soupspoon]] ([[User talk:Soupspoon|talk]])
|bug_status=new
|bug_severity=unassigned
|bug_desc=A more chatty description (and pre-existing screenshot to illustrate) exists at [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Talk:Contacts_List this page], but I thought I'd make it official in leiu of any obvious report.
I hypothesise it's related to the recent server-migration, as it was not an issue a week or so ago but has been one definitely since last weekend.
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.

<!-- PLACE YOUR COMMENTS **BELOW** THIS LINE - DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE -->
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. --<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 22:30, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
:If 'just re-enter the link' worked, I'd never have (eventually, after a week of sileny tusselling with the problem) made this BugRep. Sorry for the huge amount of text, but I wanted to be sure that everyone (especially those ''not'' experiencing the issue - as I presume is your case) understood what on earth I was talking about.
:But you have made me think. If "confirmed=1" is broken (whyeverso it is suddenly happening to me) but "confirm=1" is actually being ignored (not related to an introduced typo in the php script or anything) then just as "confirm=" ''sometimes'' does not give a "Confirm that..." response, maybe indeed the add-only address would (sometimes) work and I'll have to also try that kludge a few times, at the next opportunity, to see if that is just as efficaceous.
:Still worth noting that:
:a) For some reason, the Profile-page "Add" has stopped giving me confirm-free additions to the Contacts List
:b) I have yet to identify why Contacts-page "(Confirm) Add" sometimes works and sometimes does not, and ''never'' with the presumably correct (by intention, at least) "confirmed=1" query-label and value pair.
:So, still a bug. At the very least a change in behaviour. My current main character joined a decade ago, and was not even my first presence here, yet with no other recent changes at my end it is only in the shadow of a server move (which seemingly has 'killed' another old character whose long-forgotten password is irretrievably unavailable except in a much older instance of browser that doesn't seem to play well any more with some https-certification changes that were brought in, I'm guessing - but I'm not bugrepping that, ''c'est la vie''(/mort)) that this problem has arisen. I don't take this place for granted. I was actually surprised it was still going in 2011 when I rejoined after several years away. If Kevan is ''still'' actively maintaining (c.f. RNG issues, recently) then I applaud that and I only report this in case it helps squish some error that others might be experiencing.
:That's all. Unless you need me to quote versions of browser (Chrome, Firefox) and OS (Windows, Android) and ISP gateways (both UK-based) that I troubleshot by trying various combinations thereof and then firmly decided (in my mind, at least) could not be attributed as the point of failure (or even a complicating factor). And apologies for even more 'lot of text', but apparently my first attempt did not explain as much as I thought. [[User:Soupspoon|Soupspoon]] ([[User talk:Soupspoon|talk]]) 23:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
:'''Latest''' Further tests done in the cool light of the morning:
:* Profile-page Add ''always'' arrives at Contacts-page with "Confirm" text and onward link (this may not be a technical error, but is certainly new behaviour and I don't think it's intended).
:* Contact-page (confirming) Add ''always'' gets the Contacts/Confirm (clearly not working properly, the "confirmed=1" does not convey any actual confirmation).
:* Yes: removing the "confirmed=1", or spoiling the key-value pair in any way, "confirm=" or "=2", or ''just'' null-editing but resubmitting the address in the address-bar (but ''not'' refreshing the page, straight) gives the hoped for Contacts/Added (this is not an error, and may have always been valid as an option, but is an unconventional ''requirement'' for onward functionality when the on-page link should work).
:My semi-informed Wild-Assed-Guess is now that the contacts.php has been using referer() or similar (I'm more familiar with .pl CGI than .php, and it might even be referrer()!) to identify off-site linking and filter arrival from non-UD sources to prevent unwanted auto-add-contact behaviour. (e.g. by tricking a fake 'image' load on any visits to a User:Talk page, or other examples that might be so mischeviously 'useful'.)
:A typed-in-address-bar Add URL request (or anything similarly refererless/whatever) has always had an automatic free pass, by having a null referer and thus not so simply spoofed.
:Access from Profile page or Contacts (with or without the "confirmed"?) ''should'' be detected as same-site referer, and was. It now is not. For me.
:Checks for what HTTP contact info my browser is actually sending places do not reveal any obvious shenanigans that are my problem (e.g. badly hidden redirection malware), so I'm quite surprised it is not a global problem. Or ''very'' surprised if I ''am'' the only sufferer.
:I now know how to get round it. Maybe... Except for this morning's suite of multiple tests, I also have had failures with address-bar resubmits, as well! Time will tell... [[User:Soupspoon|Soupspoon]] ([[User talk:Soupspoon|talk]]) 09:34, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
::Just to let you know that you're not the only one. I and others in my group have seen that too (could just be that most old timers who read the wiki aren't adding many new people). The changing of "confirmed=1" to "confirm=1" does work for me. I haven't tried the rest. But it's not just you :) --[[User:Queen Mum|Queen Mum]] ([[User talk:Queen Mum|talk]]) 23:33, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
I think I found what was causing this. It should be fixed now. --[[User:Kevan|Kevan]] ([[User talk:Kevan|talk]]) 18:03, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
:Aye, I was just going to come here to report that it seems suddenly fixed. The last time I had to 'play' with it to get it to work (which has at times included leaving an attempted-to-add tab open that my 'fix' was still not fixing, to try to resubmit for success some hours later) was maybe the day before your response, Kevan. But just now two additions went through as (originally) expected, so it very much looks like you have sorted it satisfactorily. I won't be cheeky enough to ask for full details, just let me believe it's as I hypothesised and that I'm a genius in black-box diagnostics. ;)

Just to be sure, when you say "tried to revive [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1711038 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.  {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 20:01, 28 May 2011 (BST)

I see that [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1774326 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. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 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.

What is even more disturbing is the fact that every time I took an action it dropped me back down to -1 AP!

: ''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. [[User:Annoynimouse|Shambler for Shambala]] 19:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

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. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 04:43, 5 July 2010 (BST)

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. -{{User:Poodle_of_doom/signiture}} 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. --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 22:13, 29 June 2010 (BST)

Please put new bug reports in this section, as something you perceive as a bug could be a problem with your browser, cache settings, cookie settings, etc. (This applies especially to login problem. If you are having login problems, try cleaning your cache, resetting cookies, etc. before filing the bug here.)

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:
===Name which best describes bug in under ten words===
{{bug
 |bug_time=~~~~~

 |bug_status=new
 |bug_severity=unassigned
 |bug_desc=Detailed description of the bug you encountered.

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.

Ruined Fort freerunning issues

Severity: unassigned
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]

But... it is dark in here! Why can you see the recently cut fir tree? Is this a glitch, or can you see all decorative items?

Discussion
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. ~Vsig.png 18:32, 15 March 2011

This is not a bug, you should take this to someplace like this where they deal with zergs.--Michalesonbadge.pngTCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 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. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== 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.

Digestion only worth 3 HP

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

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)

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.

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.

External Military Reports have ceased broadcasting

Description: From the bug date listed above till currently, there have been no further broadcasts of suburb status reports from the External Military forces on frequency 25.96MHz and without official word from on high about this particular game function shutting down I reckon it belongs here. The only further transmission of note was a *crash* *static* *silence* message heard on a handheld radio on 3 October 2024, first time I can recall such a blurb showing up on that channel and could very well mean it's kaputt. My limited understanding is the EMR was a system separated from the city itself but if there is a building out there we need to power I'd love to hear about it.

Discussion
It's happened before. Twice. Most likely just a period of time where nothing is really changing much in-game. With the dwindling number of players, we'll probably be seeing this channel remain silent for longer and longer periods of time since there's probably not enough activity going on that's causing any significant changes throughout each individual suburb. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 04:50, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

The second link you kindly shared falls within this same window I am reporting on now so I'll ignore that one as it's doubling up. The first one covers a span of two days, not a year plus of silence over 25.96 that we've been experiencing. I am relieved to hear that the breaking of a transmitter on that freq isn't a one off occurrence and has happened in the past. Hopefully you are on the money and this is due to a lack of change/activity in-game and not a sign of mechanics continuing to fall off from a lack of attention. Clayton Carmine (talk)


Exterior view of half of Lumber Mall

Description: I logged in as SlNlSTAR and saw an odd view of the minimap. I was very definitely lying dead inside the southern half of Lumber Mall. The block I was in correctly displayed as a ruined interior, but the northern half of the mall displayed as a lit+ruined mall exterior. See:
Odd interior view.png
Additional detail:
  • I stood up, and the bug persisted. I shambled north into the northern half, and the bug resolved. I shambled back into the southern half, and the bug remained resolved.
  • The northern section really was ruined+lit.
  • When I last logged in, both sections of the mall displayed properly as either ruined or ruined+lit.
  • I'm using Firefox on (don't laugh) Windows 7.
  • Note that Lumber Mall is the only 2-block mall, and is on the border.

Discussion
Not quite a game-breaking bug, admitedly. --VVV RPMBG 05:28, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

That display glitch happens regularly in multi-block buildings (regardless of ruin status). Other malls, cathedrals and mansions behave similar when you get killed/revived but not dumped. The glitch fixes itself by rising and then either moving or simply reloading the page. -- Spiderzed▋ 12:30, 23 June 2024 (UTC)


'Colour'-tagging occasionally spontaneously changes for multiple Contact List entries

Timestamp: Sometime before 8/Jul/2023, and on various prior occasions

Current Status: new
Severity: unassigned
Description: Partial 'corruption' (possible shifting/redistribution) of game-interface hues as assigned to/stored for known Contacts

Discussion
Long form 'description' of the issue:
I use the Contact List to helpfully manage my interactions. e.g. Rotters have a hue to save me time investigating 'known names' in RP queues, with other cues to identify various types of friendlies, PKers, etc, including one to distinguish Rotters (thus unrevivable) yet can be Life-allied/Dual Role and deserving of health assistance whilst not a zombie. A common enough system, I hope. I won't detail what colours are what, that doesn't matter. Usually the only problem is when I've hit the 150-limit (often) and I need to find someone to remove (inactive, or not been notable) to squeeze in another I'd like to 'remember'.
Some names I also know by sight, though. So it was obviously wrong to me when I had someone that I know to be full-on life-affirming 'good human' Survivor, and noted as building back up the 'cades in my present locale, appear in the activity log under a Rotter's version of the markup.
Trawling the List, I now found multiple rotters not so marked. Admittedly, there's the option of gaining Rotter status after a good deed was noted by myself, but it was a large number of them (some with long-term notoriety) and roughly balanced against those with the opposite issue (you cannot even revoke Rotterdom, or any other 'skill', even if I wasn't sure some were pure Life-Allied players). Other recognised contacts were misclassified in less skill-obvious ways (e.g. non-rotter infamous Zeds, that I regularly have a run in with, looking like Survivor types; and vice-versa), but only obvious through familiarity.
The pattern seemed to be mostly in the bottom fraction of the (alphabetical) Contact List, though a clear switch also happened up in the Ds (whilst unchanged/seemingly accurate tagging still peppered the whole list).
This is not the first time it has happened, along these lines. Probably last time was several years back, once or twice before then. On none of these occasions have I had active UD Browser Plugins (I have used them prior to 2011, so I'm aware of their 'management' capabilities), the browsers themselves have probably varied (between FF, IE, Chrome, maybe until a year or two ago that minimalist tablet-based browser that stopped working due to certificates (not) updating for https access...), as have the character accounts in use. No reason to believe I 'misclicked' anything when perusing/managing the List (or certainly not so many of them!), nor that a third-party has hijacked whichever character account it was (each time) and just subtly 'vandalised' it. If you'll take my considered opinion, it seems more a dumb 'corruption' in the server, or server-browser link, than anything purely browser or PEBCAK in nature. Though I'm surprised that I have found no-one else mentioning this, after trying to find such a comment.
I am half-inclined to believe that on adding (and, where necessary, removing) contacts, the "Name1=>Col1, Name2=>Col2 ... Name149=>Col149" was somehow disjointed (Nam149=>Col150, and back) on submitting legitimate and intentional changes. The 'shift' of Red onto a Green, that Green onto a Purple, its Purple onto a Black (where I can be certain what the originals are in cases of sequential mis-tagging) is obvious, but it's hard to rationalise by the spottiness of some of the changes. Nor with the HTML POST method of conveying them to the server that should not allow 'misalignments' except if the server does silly things with key/value pairs behind the scenes. Theoretically a similar shift-transference during non-alphabetical ordering (sorted by Level/XP, as I sometimes review the list, or loginId sorting internal to server?) and/or multiple disjointed updates could also be the issue, but still does not feel like the right answer. The difficulty is that the instant(s) of change may be from a few days or even a week before I actually noted any discrepancy, on each infrequent occasion I discovered it as happened, with other new updates to the list (with or without unintended misflaggings) happening between then and now. All I know is that I went digging further into the matter once I noticed the problem (and corrected/rationalised as it seemed fit to do, but without any actual offline list to cross-compare rigorously against). But I'm currently a bit more prepared to keep an eye out for any more imminent 'list corruptions', should it hiccup like this once(+) more shortly... And I hope all this anticipates many of the initial questions you might have. (Except for "why did you write so much?"...) Especially as there's no reason to believe that it's an easily replicatable bug/whatever-it-is. On past occasions, I aggressively temporarily Deleted Contacts and added random others to try to provoke mismatches (on the assumption that such 'shuffling' is most likely the cause), but it has never actually happened during such controlled testing.Longtimenewbie (talk) 14:48, 9 July 2023 (UTC)


Broken/misbehaving Contact List addition function

reported by:		 Soupspoon (talk)
Current Status: new
Severity: unassigned
Description: A more chatty description (and pre-existing screenshot to illustrate) exists at this page, but I thought I'd make it official in leiu of any obvious report.

I hypothesise it's related to the recent server-migration, as it was not an issue a week or so ago but has been one definitely since last weekend. 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)

If 'just re-enter the link' worked, I'd never have (eventually, after a week of sileny tusselling with the problem) made this BugRep. Sorry for the huge amount of text, but I wanted to be sure that everyone (especially those not experiencing the issue - as I presume is your case) understood what on earth I was talking about.
But you have made me think. If "confirmed=1" is broken (whyeverso it is suddenly happening to me) but "confirm=1" is actually being ignored (not related to an introduced typo in the php script or anything) then just as "confirm=" sometimes does not give a "Confirm that..." response, maybe indeed the add-only address would (sometimes) work and I'll have to also try that kludge a few times, at the next opportunity, to see if that is just as efficaceous.
Still worth noting that:
a) For some reason, the Profile-page "Add" has stopped giving me confirm-free additions to the Contacts List
b) I have yet to identify why Contacts-page "(Confirm) Add" sometimes works and sometimes does not, and never with the presumably correct (by intention, at least) "confirmed=1" query-label and value pair.
So, still a bug. At the very least a change in behaviour. My current main character joined a decade ago, and was not even my first presence here, yet with no other recent changes at my end it is only in the shadow of a server move (which seemingly has 'killed' another old character whose long-forgotten password is irretrievably unavailable except in a much older instance of browser that doesn't seem to play well any more with some https-certification changes that were brought in, I'm guessing - but I'm not bugrepping that, c'est la vie(/mort)) that this problem has arisen. I don't take this place for granted. I was actually surprised it was still going in 2011 when I rejoined after several years away. If Kevan is still actively maintaining (c.f. RNG issues, recently) then I applaud that and I only report this in case it helps squish some error that others might be experiencing.
That's all. Unless you need me to quote versions of browser (Chrome, Firefox) and OS (Windows, Android) and ISP gateways (both UK-based) that I troubleshot by trying various combinations thereof and then firmly decided (in my mind, at least) could not be attributed as the point of failure (or even a complicating factor). And apologies for even more 'lot of text', but apparently my first attempt did not explain as much as I thought. Soupspoon (talk) 23:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Latest Further tests done in the cool light of the morning:
  • Profile-page Add always arrives at Contacts-page with "Confirm" text and onward link (this may not be a technical error, but is certainly new behaviour and I don't think it's intended).
  • Contact-page (confirming) Add always gets the Contacts/Confirm (clearly not working properly, the "confirmed=1" does not convey any actual confirmation).
  • Yes: removing the "confirmed=1", or spoiling the key-value pair in any way, "confirm=" or "=2", or just null-editing but resubmitting the address in the address-bar (but not refreshing the page, straight) gives the hoped for Contacts/Added (this is not an error, and may have always been valid as an option, but is an unconventional requirement for onward functionality when the on-page link should work).
My semi-informed Wild-Assed-Guess is now that the contacts.php has been using referer() or similar (I'm more familiar with .pl CGI than .php, and it might even be referrer()!) to identify off-site linking and filter arrival from non-UD sources to prevent unwanted auto-add-contact behaviour. (e.g. by tricking a fake 'image' load on any visits to a User:Talk page, or other examples that might be so mischeviously 'useful'.)
A typed-in-address-bar Add URL request (or anything similarly refererless/whatever) has always had an automatic free pass, by having a null referer and thus not so simply spoofed.
Access from Profile page or Contacts (with or without the "confirmed"?) should be detected as same-site referer, and was. It now is not. For me.
Checks for what HTTP contact info my browser is actually sending places do not reveal any obvious shenanigans that are my problem (e.g. badly hidden redirection malware), so I'm quite surprised it is not a global problem. Or very surprised if I am the only sufferer.
I now know how to get round it. Maybe... Except for this morning's suite of multiple tests, I also have had failures with address-bar resubmits, as well! Time will tell... Soupspoon (talk) 09:34, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
Just to let you know that you're not the only one. I and others in my group have seen that too (could just be that most old timers who read the wiki aren't adding many new people). The changing of "confirmed=1" to "confirm=1" does work for me. I haven't tried the rest. But it's not just you :) --Queen Mum (talk) 23:33, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

I think I found what was causing this. It should be fixed now. --Kevan (talk) 18:03, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Aye, I was just going to come here to report that it seems suddenly fixed. The last time I had to 'play' with it to get it to work (which has at times included leaving an attempted-to-add tab open that my 'fix' was still not fixing, to try to resubmit for success some hours later) was maybe the day before your response, Kevan. But just now two additions went through as (originally) expected, so it very much looks like you have sorted it satisfactorily. I won't be cheeky enough to ask for full details, just let me believe it's as I hypothesised and that I'm a genius in black-box diagnostics. ;)

If it's caused by a zerg flag, I think this is still a bug as it is affecting other characters who are not involved (those behind in the revive queue cannot be scanned.) 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. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 20:01, 28 May 2011 (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)

"You move quickly through your safehouse. You drop your pistol."

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)

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%)?

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.

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.

There's actually a much more easier 100% foolproof way to fix this, and that is to log out your character.

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)

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)

Yeah, that's how it works. Not a bug, really. --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 18:42, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Not a bug ? Then what's the point of this mechanics ? am i lying or standing - i am already Z from now on! Mechanics that ignores sense is hardly how it should be.Shambler for Shambala 19:29, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, technically if you're not standing up yet, you're not a zombie yet. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 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)
We have a name for dead bodies that don't stand up. They're called corpses. Want to learn zombie skills? You've got to stand before you can understand.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 04:59, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Sounds to me like we need some corpse skills, like Lie There Stinkless, so you don't smell funny--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS DORISFlag.jpg LOE ZHU | Яezzens 13:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Description: I was attacking some random survivor, I believe it was one called GopherWithAGun, as a Zombie, and I claws him, right, and I get my grasp on him. I go to attack again with my claws, and I miss. I'm like, 'kay....and I attack again. This time I get the Grasp message again. Weird, I thinks, so I attack again. Successful attack, right after the previous Grasp, I get the Grasp message again! [profile].

Safehouse Auto-Change?

Description: For some reason it seems as though my Safehousing has a mind of it's own and it likes to change on it's own. The last time I can remember clicking the Safehouse button was a couple months ago when I was at a church, and now it's changed twice on it's own to a school and a business place. The only thing I've done at this two locations was work on repairing the barricades, though I don't see how that would change it at all.

I had two spraycans, but when I proceeded to tag a billboard, which should have used just one spraycan, both my spraycans were spent.

Discussion
I will attempt to replicate this bug again in a few days and make sure I get a "before" screenshot. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 04:16, 25 June 2012 (BST)

I Was able to revive a brain rot zombie

reported by:		 ReviverMcGyver
Current Status: new
Severity: unassigned
Description: I revived a zed with brain rot without having the skill to do so and while not being inside a powered NT. I was actually even outside. I screenshot all of my scans before I revive. I do not screenshot after. A group mate pointed out to me that this revive shouldnt have worked. I do not know why but I tried to revive even though it says they are a rotter. I think I was tired and didnt notice. [3] http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?mode=edit&id=2343866 
Remember to include as much information as could be possible, including
your character name (and profile) and screenshots if you have any.

Discussion
Hi, do you have any screenshots of the revive taking place? Very interesting case. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 02:53, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

If someone could reproduce this, too. Is it possible that a revivable zombie popped into your location right when you tried to revive the rotter? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 03:00, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

I do not have additional screenshots. I do not believe another zombie came at the same time because when I revived him there were no zombies on my square or anywhere in the connecting squares. --User:ReviverMcGyver/sig 3:53, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

you have the profile. Can you add it and go back to the square and see if by any chance it’s still on the ground reviving? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 08:34, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Anyone keen to try to recreate this? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 01:59, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Description: When logging in, the display is a little wonky. Currently, I'm inside a location in Huntley Heights, alive, and alone, but all I see is the status, the blip about my safehouse, possible actions, inventory, and the percentage of encumberance. If I do anything or refresh the page, it returns to normal. Before & After http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1744652

Currently using Firefox version 92.0 64x. Only plugins I have is Adblocker Ultimate, a SSO plugin for work, and a password manager. I will try a different browser tomorrow when I log in after work and I have deleted all temp settings in Firefox so I'll let you guys know if it happens tomorrow.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Running latest Chrome. Today however everything seems to be back to normal. BoozeSquad (talk) 07:06, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

I've been noticing some intermittent server issues, maybe related to that? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 00:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Additionally, UD Item Combiner, Organizer and Sorter has stopped working for me on two machines, as has the Refresh script. I think my Greasemonkey is up to date. Maybe Kevan is messing with the code? --Queen Mum (talk) 23:48, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

I was able to resolve this by updating all my greasemonkey/tampermonkey script code to include https, likely this also cause the refresh which fixed others issue. --Jaggeddragon (talk) 00:42, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

How did you accomplish that? I've never tampered - har - with the scripts. --Queen Mum (talk) 22:35, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Select greasemonkey/tampermonkey browser extension
  • Select user script that you would like to edit
  • Select 'edit' option
  • Edit all UD links to include an 's' after 'http' ex: https://urbandead.com/map.cgi
  • Pizza.gif
    • -Papa John Schnatter (talk) 16:02, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
    Thanks! When I get my proper UD computer out of the shop I'll give this a go. --Queen Mum (talk) 23:07, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
