Bank bags not saving [SOE problem]

Suziekew · #1 05-13-2008, 04:12 PM

Greetings!

All of my old settings for my boxes (1-8) are just fine but the settings for the new boxes (9-12) are not being saved. I set them up, everything is fine, log out and, when I come back, they are back to a default setting (size 32, 4 spaces across). Also, the shared bank seems to be ok, except for the last box. The eighth one wants to default to size 32, 4 spaces across every time I relog.

I had the new bank and inventory but deleted them anyway and redownloaded. The problem wasn't fixed. Is anyone else experiencing this?

This is not a ProfitUI issue.

Try renaming your uisettings.ini file and see if that fixes it. If that does not help, /bug it.

I'm having the same issue, and it is quite baffling. I've been experimenting all night with this. I doubt it is a ProfitUI issue, but I'd love to get some ideas on this. It is happening on every single one of my characters. My friends that use Profit are not experiencing this.

Beside personal bank slots 9-12, also shared banks slots 6-8 (shared slot 5 is fine.) Same thing as OP, the size goes back to 32 every time, and their positions won't stay where I want them. Oddly, they don't always return to the default place where they started... sometimes they move somewhere else.

I've tried using the default Profit uisettings file for 1280x1024 (as well as a couple other resolutions.) I've even tried using the SOE default uisettings file (still using the Profit UI, just using Sony's settings file.) Tried placing the bags (boxes actually) in spots on the screen where there are no other windows just in case they were getting moved due to some layer thing... nothing seems to work. Closest I got... I created a new toon, used the default ProfitUI settings file for 1280x1024, made all the changes I wanted (as far as bag/boxes placement), logged out and back in. Only personal bank slot 12 reverted to normal. Everything else stayed the way I put it. I then made one little change to personal bank slot 12 (nothing else), logged out/in, and BOOM, personal bank slots 9-12 and shared bank slots 6-8 went goofy again.

Tried so many other things, I won't bore with all the comboes I've tried.

I've literally been at this for over 6 hours, logging in so many times I've lost count. Must be near 100 times so far. I'm going nuts. Anyone out there have any ideas?

I am also experiencing this problem and as someone who is slightly OCD it is driving me BONKERS

The client is saving just a fixed amount of window positions. This problem occured in the past and was fixed by raising that limit. I guess it is too low again by now. Best option is to /bug it.

i dont use profitui but i am having the same issues as everyone else. so more than likely it is a code in the game that isnt right

janosdelaromani · #7 05-14-2008, 02:17 PM

I have not been able to access my bank with ProfitUI said I must use default settings. Now totally confused is it a game problem or a UI problem

When I open a bank bag and change the arrangement of slots (say from 4x9 to 4x8 +4 at the bottom), and move the bag, it does not "stick" to the next time I log in, even if the window is locked. this happens with the bottom row of shared bags in the bank. I'm not sure this is your problem or an artifact of the merge of the bags of evil and good chars, but it sure is annoying.

tknarr · #9 05-17-2008, 12:12 PM

This is believed to be a game problem, not a Profit problem. The game has a limit on the number of windows it can save settings for in the UI settings file, and GU45's new bank slots appear to have pushed things over that limit. End result: those bag/box windows don't get their settings saved, and won't until SOE pushes a fix to the game to increase the number of window-setting slots in the UI settings files.

Narzoo · #10 05-17-2008, 04:02 PM

Yes, it is a game problem, not Profitui

/bug and /feedback it and one day they may up it again

fxdb · #11 05-18-2008, 09:56 AM

However..you can cut the problem down and possibly even eliminate it. I had 3 bags that refused to "stick", on advise, I deleted the UI_settings file for one character .. logged in and rebuilt that characters screen/bank/bags.. got it down to just one bag not "sticking". Then used \load_uisettings on the other characters using the newly arranged characters screen as a template. Only 1 bag moves now, others have reported it has completely fixed it for them.

Your mileage may vary.

xndienx · #12 05-17-2008, 04:44 PM

if a bag is right under the target or implied target it can't be used without clicking elsewhere on the bag, if someone has a target/implied target. many moons ago there was an auto-resize thing that tried to fix this, but it never worked properly, because 1/2 the bottom row was always getting clipped off or something.

If you're using 4 and 6 slot bags it can be a headache, because it blocks the first row almost completely if not completely.

Since i usually carry 4 boxes, and my bag of the tinkerers, i just click farther down the bag/box to avoid the issue

I am very frustrated right now with this.

When I go into my bank, I am noticing that some of my bank boxes are not the same size of the others that I have in my bank and/or inventory. How do I get Profit UI to save all of the settings for the boxes I have in my bank so that it won't change some everytime I log in or switch to my main character?

If anyone can help me solve this problem, I would very much appreciate it.

If you read below, you will see that this is NOT a Profit issue, but a game issue. Take it up with Sony.

Thanks, I didn't know there was a topic for this but since my new topic was closed and my post moved here, I do now know that it is an SOE issue. However, I don't know if they will ever get around to fixing it though because I have heard from some of my friends that SOE takes a long time to fix stuff ingame like this.

**gm9** · #16 05-20-2008, 07:23 AM

Yes I consolidated the threads and changed the title to make clear where the problem lies.

The more that do, the more reason they have to change it

Raspen · #18 05-29-2008, 07:01 AM

Yeah, I'm experiencing the same thing. However, my issue is with bank slot 12 only. For me that is the only one which continues to reset itself to the default location and size.

tknarr · #19 05-29-2008, 10:13 AM

Same here. I found that by going in to UISettingsSpy and deleting 4 inventory windows (ones with oddball numbering in their names that didn't fit in with the others) I eliminated the problem and got my bank bag windows saving correctly without messing anything else up (that I can tell). I'm not sure I recommend that for the ordinary person, though. Although... what are the consequences of just deleting all inventory bag clone windows and entering the game? Would that mess things up, or would the windows just be re-cloned and I'd have to reposition and resize them again? I may try that just to see.

**gm9** · #20 05-29-2008, 10:18 AM

Yes, you can just delete them all if you want, that's no problem. The "oddball" ones are those I referred to above, that was the bank window hack. I'll remove them one of these days.
