Infite loop on "login"

Sep 03, 2008 pierlt link
I was able to play without any problems for a couple of week but now when I tried to play, VO would get stuck on 'Entering universe...'
..logged off in Odia M-14, Corvus Hold with a full cargo of Purified Xithricite Ore!!

..at successive login VO entering randomly in other stations, in an infinite loop because my cargo is not allowed!!
I know that but why VO logged on in my other stations and not in Odia M14?

(see error.log below)

..and so on and on in an infinite loop!

I left VO at this screen for an hour but nothing changed.

I'm able to create a new character and play with it..

..but i want to play with the original one!

any suggestions?

tnx guys!

Did you take Phaserlight's "Xith Apothecary" missions?

I've got no idea how you could log off and have purified xith in your hold otherwise, much less in a station; purified xith is supposed to drop from your cargo hold when you log off.

I haven't played through the Apothecary missions as my mining license is too high (12 compared to the maximum 8), but if he's giving you purified xith while you're in a station (the only way I can think of that you could give it to a player during a mission), the PCC probably didn't think to check what happens when you log off with xith in your hold before you undock.

No, that wouldn't be the Xith Apothecary mission.
it would be the 'Gift of Purified Xithricite' mission.

ray: I was referring to the mission string as a whole, which Phaserlight referred to as "Xith Apothecarium". I don't have low enough mining licenses to take the mission, so I didn't know which mission in the string was the culprit.

Ok, I nuked all the purified xith in people who are logged off, so you should all be unstuck. This mission might need to be pulled/reviewed unless we can get a patch in to prevent the warping-around problem somehow, probably by dumping the purified xith or by bypassing the check on first login.
Sep 03, 2008 raybondo link
The purified xith will be removed if you log out with it in a station.

Wait, we can make pure xith? Does it count towards CtC cargo? Thats kind of cool if it does, and explains a few things...

[edit]

If you could attack the voys, or some how craft the cargo, that opens the *mission* to both people who like chasing stuff, and actual missions! F'in hell yeah!

The 'Gift of Purified Xithricite' mission is not showing up. Also the 'Xith Apothecary' mission is not showing up after successfully completing the Gift mission.

With one alt I finished the 'Gift' mission and did not get the Xith Apothecary restart.

Thinking that alt somehow had gotten license too high I had another alt start and finish the 'Xith Apothecary' that alt did not get the Gift mission. That alt's was merchant 4 mining 4.

earlier I had alt destroyed in middle of Gift mission and no Xith Apothecary was available after. This might not be a bug but this is a long dangerous route at least a warning in the text that if you fail you can't do again would be good. Better in my opinion you would be able to restart at least once or twice after being distroyed in 'Gift' mission.
