Strangest kind of corruption...

[Lendri]

So, I had been playing online and just got to level 88. The night before, I was invited to play soccer in lobby 14, and I enjoyed it. Then, today, I went back to lobby 14 but no one was there. So, I went to the lobby transporter, selected "Lobby 1" (which I think was my worst mistake) and then the screen froze and started making this hideous, loud buzzing noise. I tried software reset, but it didn't work, so I waited. Finally, after about 2 or 3 minutes, I shut off the GC, then turned it back on.

When I selected my character, on the bottom it said something along the lines of "Character does not accept standard shut off method. Item selection is omitted." I've seen a message something like this before, but I never really had a problem. I went to go play a game, I looked at my items, and every one was still there! So I go to F1 offline and I notice my quick selection (B) for monomate was ghosted out, like I had none. I did the quick item selection (R+X) and noticed that the only thing showing was my Frozen Shooter... So I went back to the item menu, but it showed that I still had all of my items. Well I just have to eternally select items by pressing Z? Aieee, any help is greatly appreciated! I hope I didn't lose my items... I had so many!

Hmm what did you have on your guy that was unequipped.

[Rhete]

Odd problem, try banking all of your items, quitting, then taking them back out?

"Item selection is omitted."

I think the FSOD caused your error.


Damn. Sonic Team sure isn't smart in handling these things...

[Lendri]

Well, upon my further inspection all of my unequipped items (4 rares, etc.) have all been lost. Ah well, I appreciate you guys for looking.

Does it not say something more to the effect of.
"Character save not properly closed. Item data, etc is deleted."

At least that is what I remember it saying. I got FSODed quite a bit one week. It had to do with me haning out in Ancyone 06 during the busy times when 200+ users were online...heh.

I've been RSOD'd (R = Ringing) several times now on my RAmar. Twice, though, it said it would delete my items, however it didn't. And I could still use them. That's weird how they still appeared via the Z menu, but not in the quick item thingy or the shortcut...

Online Mode is really glitchy...

[satoshi1]

But I heard it was worse when PSO first came out... at least they've cleaned things up a bit
