Has there been any cause discovered for the chat bug? It happened frequently when I played last time, and it's happening again...

Sometimes when I open the full chat view to check my log (mainly to see past messages) the whole thing becomes blank and wipes the log. I think I was told previously this was a Windower bug of some kind? Any ideas on how to avoid/resolve this?

Sandbox (plugin) was created to stop it, but it's not perfect

its not a bug its a limitation. what you see inyour chat is left over image from data that is expunged from your chatlog. aka its no longer there.
so when you go into full chatlog mode and aks it to draw it again with the chatlog data its empty

it just didnt clear out the visual part of the chatlog when the data was expunged.

i assume you use 2 chatlog windows and its only one of them that have the issue ?>

I am using two chat log windows, yes. Honestly have not noticed if it only occurs to one or the other.

The consensus is "do 16 reps of the previous level" but honestly I'm not entirely sure whether it's that or the stupid Campaign Statistics thing.

If the client fails to read the on-disc log entries, it gives up and won't try to read them again. The non-maximized log is stored directly in RAM and continues to work until you maximize again.

A common cause of failure-to-read used to be having your alt writing the files while your main tried to read them, especially pre-SSD. Sandbox on windower or a built in code block in Ashita's core change the path so different characters write different files, preventing this cause.

However, if your HD fails to read the files for any other reason, you'll still get them. Checking HD health in case it's going out is a good idea. If you're still on a spinning disc, upgrading to a SSD can reduce the frequency. It's also possible an antivirus or other external program hooking your reads is contributing.

Not really a windower bug.

I got myself a Hoxne earring last night, put it on and got +5 to each stat, at ML33. Can anyone check briefly and probably confirm there is a bug since Update? I checked several times, no idea what is going on.

I made a new mule and added it to my SE account. I previously had a security token and unlinked it. How do I get Satchel access for the new mule?

Its been a while, but I'm pretty sure you'll have to re-enable MFA then disable it.

Don't have to get the physical security token though, can use a software one.
