Strange Party+Chat+Movement Bug

by Ohhgee » Fri Mar 06, 2015 8:25 am

I am experiencing a very strange set of bugs/glitches. I have used this same 1.12.1 client on a variety of servers and have never experienced anything like this. It's really weird but ill describe it best I can. after the first time it happened i deleted WDB files, then it happened again today.

both times this happened i was in a group and in ashenvale traveling to BFD

it started with a critical error, and the game crashed. when i logged back in, my character had no location listed under the name on the login screen. once i was back in the game:
- i was unable to move my character
- my bags were completely empty, no items, 0 copper and not even a hearthstone. (did not even have the bags themselves other than default backpack)
- my friends list and ignore list were empty
- guild chat was invisible (not appearing at all, not even my own messages)

and then there is the strangest part... i could type messages in party chat, but when i pressed enter the message would appear in party chat translated into some strange gibberish nonsense language. i believe it was an in game language (orcish, demonic, etc). my group mates messages also appeared to me in this strange gibberish. i whipsered one of them and he said everyone looked normal in party chat for him.

not even sure where to begin with how strange this bug is but it seems to be triggered by being in a group. :?

Is it fixed by deleting your cache?

happened again today after deleting cache. once again while in instance group. i think it has something to do with using boats across continents while in a group

really want to get to the bottom of this as it would basically prevent me from playing endgame and like ive said ive used this client on 4+ private servers and never had this problem

also, all 3 times this has happened ive been able to fix it but only with 10-15 minutes of frustration with leaving/rejoining group and relogging

Hi,
Are you using a MAC or a Windows client ?

Mac client, unfortunately do not have a gaming PC at this time. I've had issues with boats/zeppelins in the past (known Mac client bug) but the worst that would happen is i would fall through the boat after the loading screen and have to swim. I avoid this by AltF4 before loading screen and log back in once boat is new new zone. this technique also works here, but for some reason on these 3 occasions while in a dungeon group it seemed to produce this series of glitches
