Losing my chat logs in Game?

[kenshyn]

Anyone experiencing the in game chat disappearing? Basically my chat log runs correctly then just vanishes if you try to expand it and scroll back some times it scrolls back but wont let you see the latest info so annoying. I been having to run a parser so I read chat logs which is crazy....

[Karbuncle]

I know if you open it and "Tab" too quickly (To specific /tells /party etc sections) they won't show up, and thats just game lag.

now if you mean opening the chat log and nothings there or chunks of info are missing... i don't know.

Happens a lot when you are two boxing on an older machine as well. That or the chatlogs "merge" on some freaky shit. Think it's a memory leak or some nonsense.

[Mad Friar Avelyn]

Are you dual-boxing? That can happen if you're running multiple instances at once, as well as your chat logs getting mixed up between the two clients. Not much can be done about it.

[Edit] Beaten like a drum.

happens to me too, just some random glitch with windower i think, doesn't always happen when i'm 2boxing. Annoying as hell when it happens tho.

Happens to me without 2boxing, I assume it's a bug with Windower. Restarting fixes it.

This. It's extremely rare (i've had it happen probably 5 times ever), and afaik, it doesn't seem to happen any more often when 2+boxxing than when not.

Happened to me last night. All I could do was restart windower.

[Phraust]

you dont' have to fully restart it either, just log out then back in. THat usually does it for me.

[Xera]

Whenever it happens to me, simply logging out and back in fixes it rather than a full windower restart.

Edit: I lose!

[kenshyn]

Nope not dual boxing just running windower and it is happening more and more the logs are being captured still by my parser but the game just loses them. If I take the chat log full screen it goes bye bye or just has old info and I cant see the latest chat. Really super annoying.

Happens to me any time I try to use spellcast. I wish I could use spellcast.

[Koyangi]

happened to me a long time ago, and I realized it was my ram was low, after upgrading ram it fixed it, this occured over a long period of time, so there were many reboots/restarts in there

Only chat-log bug I get (which is consistant, and annoying) is when you play the game with a large vertical resolution (such as 1680x1050 or higher) and fullscreen the chat log, the upper 5-6 lines are missing, so to view then you have to hit left (to page up) then right (page back down) to see that crap). Very annoying when you're in a large battle and needed to double-check if a buff landed or not.

Spellcast from my experience.

[calinz]

I agree, it's probably spellcast related. I've had certain macros flat out refuse to execute due to spellcast. Even trying to cast a spell from the magic menu will not work and instead return the generic error in the chat log. Unloading spellcast immediately fixes it.

[Lilswitche]

I get it often in laggy situations whilst using spellcast.

[Priran]

I got this long before I started using Spellcast. I don't think Spellcast even existed at the time.

[kenshyn]

Hmmm. Maybe it has something to do with the size of my spellcast jobs xml and available ram. I have quite a few different size and complex xml ones and some are quite large maybe time to clean up and consolidate it my blu one is crazy....

Happened to me without any spellcast on or quite a while.
