    I wonder if every person who has posted knows if they have a recipe in their inventory? I have 1 low level one.

    I just crashed by looking at my potions
  • SoulSworne
    Also wanted to note that I appear to at least be able to view finished products.

    However, the patch notes stated: "If you create a level 10 potion, it will scale with you as you level, until level 19" and etc.


    This does not appear to be occurring. No where near as big a deal as the crashing, but did not know if this might somehow be tied into the problem and wanted to let ZOS know.

    This was a recipe created JUST before the servers went down.


    EDIT: Of course, I have not leveled as yet, so maybe you actually have to level. I assumed above that the product leveled to your current level. Will see in a half hour or so if it is tied into the actual leveling process.

    Maybe related to the new consumables scaling mechanism then...

    I've crashed multiple times using any type of crafting station. Opening provisioning urn was fine, looking at recipes was fine. using the mail or crafting even a non-food or drink item is causing crashes here. Now I'm scared to go fishing and lose a chance at a perfect roe.

    Edit: there were no recipes in the urn, may make a difference.

    Yeah, just had this one happen to me in Davon's Watch. No recipes for sale from him, just my usual selling merchant across from the bank.

    I had done the provisioning writ and got the consumables -- opened the bag -- crash, no error msg. Re log in bank open inventory -- crash no error msg. Went outside, opened the bag -- crash, no error msg. So basically I can't play the game and yes there was a menu in the bag I opened when I finished the writ quest. None of the crashes had any error code. I filled out your little popup each time tho . :smile:

    This is comical and begs the question, once again, of why ZOS refuses to test patches prior to release. it's abundantly clear that ZOS failed to even test whether the new recipe even works prior to pushing this out.

    Crashed trying to speak to the brewer, then the chef in Crosswych vr1 Glenumbra. I do have recipes in my inventory but didnt hover them when the store inteface opened. Also Ive crashed from hovering over but that was seperate from trying to use the brewer/chef.

    I can confirm that you can successfully LOOT a recipe, if you have auto-loot on and thus don't have to see the recipe to loot it, but opening the inventory window will then cause the crash, as the recipe is visible then (it bubbles to the top as a new item).

    This would imply the problem is actually in the database or the sql lookup to get the information on the recipe. Perhaps a new column was added to support the new type, and all the queries don't deal with that properly, and the returned data doesn't match what was expected and causes an overflow?

    I've only crashed twice, thus far. But each time it occurred I had just looted a new recipe from a backpack.

    Anyway, thanks for the prompt attention ZOS and keep up the great work!

    Update: I'm also crashing when I open the my Inventory ---> Consumables tab where the recipes that caused me to crash (when I looted) them are located.

    IMPORTANT: I'm not crashing at random or when opening any other part of my inventory.

    I'm crashing when I accidentally scroll over recipes, or if I even see them. I've avoided the fires so far, but it was so unstable I finally gave up and went to play another game. :|

    I can't open my inventory on any character that has a recipe in their inventory. As soon as I click "I" my game crashes. I now have four characters I can't play because I can't offload their stuff to my bank.

    I just want you to know it crashes regardless of recipes, anything like checking mail, interacting with npcs, etc. So please (unlike your update) be thorough.

    Not sure if this has already been mentioned but I don't have to look at a recipe to crash, just hovering my mouse over a cooking fire causes me to crash.

    It is only crashing if I mouse over a recipe or open a cooking fire.

    If you open your inventory for any reason and your mouse happens to be on a recipe it will crash. If you sell something and a recipe is under it, your inventory will shift and cause you to mouse over a recipe. It can happen quicker than you will notice, but it is always from mousing over a recipe.
