| Post subject: | Shield Recharge bug (Very Important) |
This bug needs some serious and dire attention, because it makes some tweaks useless, effects how shm's regen in combat, and can be the difference between life or death in certain situations. First of all, when you pop open a tweak that adds any kind of Shield Bank% bonus, your shield only likes to regen up to your normal shield bank. So lets say you have 130k shields and your toped off, you are about to jump gate into a combat situation so you pop open a tweak that gives you around 160k shield bank. Your shield will take its god damn time to recognize that it needs to start regening, and once it actually decides to start its buggy, it starts and stops at random, and most of the time is dependent wither or not your getting shot at, or if you are shooting your weapon. Also, their are some instances where your shield regen drops 75% if you are shooting your weapon, randomly. This is extremely annoying if your setup is completely based on regen and not bank, and should be fix immediately, like in the next 3 hours. Cause I sent you guys a ticket about this like a month ago and everyone agree that it is completely reproducible. Just AP from sol to the UZ and get attacked by some AI in there, youll see that the acropolis aura fucks with your shields. |

You are using the wrong color! But yea I agree with paxx, I have noticed this and it should be fixed asap. |

My personal suspicion is that the "random" loss of charging is related to the prioritized charging code, so that your shield charging gets turned off if you're at any negative elec. 99% of the time I can get full shield charging if I don't shoot, and then lose all but my shield charger's effect if I start shooting again. |

But my HM shm can sustain its weapon perfectly fine even while the shield is charging. And that still doesn't explain the bug where your shild bank doesn't charge past your normal bank if you pop a tweak.. |

I use shield salvations when doing stuff on my sniper and with a charger its about 110/s without salvations, once I pop a slavation it goes to 0/s for a few seconds then goes to 160/s, something in those lines but its bugged as hell... |

I definitely remember this flavor of the bug starting with C2; in beta I kept running into it and going "WTF?"; around that same time on Live we had the fires bug which also killed shield charging so I had definitely been paying attention to my shield charging. it wasn't like this before. |

From what I know, it is a client-side only bug. Meaning even though it displays like that, your shields on the server are actually correct. |

yeah drone recharge for energy used to be screwed up sometimes, like when I would elec tractor them, but then it would suddenly jump up to actual levels, implying just the display is wrong, not the actual values. It's since been fixed, idk about this shield bug I haven't noticed it so far |

I believe at least part of this bug occurs due to an "inventory changed timeout", which suspends normal shield recharging (but not shield charger) for about 3 seconds any time your inventory changes. This means normal shield recharging cannot take place if you are fighting enemies which add a parasite or fire to your inventory (such as Infernos, Urqa, Basils, Ice Picks, etc.). Using any sort of tweaks or scooping boxes will also activate the timeout period. I have not yet verified the effects of deploying fighters, drones, or missiles in relation to this bug. The problem appears to be twofold, as described by a post above, relating to the priority of energy, where shield recharge has lowest priority over other energy needs (including shield charger!). This part would be far less of an issue if equipment is only turned off as a result of 0 energy reserves, instead of less than 0 energy income. (e.g. My energy income becomes negative when I'm firing my weapon, but my reserves are still enough to cover running all on-board equipment.) Lastly, even if this is merely a client-side issue, I still die when I reach 0 shields due to this bug regardless if the display is synced with the server or not. That makes it more than just a display issue. |

Get some mathematical proof, and I'll pass it to Jeff. |

What I'm trying to say is, why don't you prove it? Players who've experienced the problem can give you very specific scenarios to test, but it's difficult to come to a firm conclusion from our standpoint. |
