trellybell Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 When making new character during this patch when I clicked play to make a new character I wasn't able to get into the game. I wondering if I'm the only experiencing this bug and if not has anyone found a fix to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Post CommunityTeam Posted April 27, 2022 Dev Post Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hi folks, Thanks for your reports. Were you finally able to create a character? If yes, what was your workaround? If not, could you try again but with a different character's name. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearsayer Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hey, I tested this a few times and it appears this happens when you pick an existing name. Seems the "name unavailable, please choose another" message is broken and the character creation process just fails silently. I tried two names whose existence I had confirmed through the legacy block feature and both bugged out as described in the OP, but was able to successfully create two characters with available names.

Dev Post CommunityTeam Posted April 27, 2022 Dev Post Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hi bearsayer, Thanks for the additional information. Our team was able to reproduce this bug as well. It seems that the error message "name unavailable, please choose another" is not displayed when the character's name is already used. Players should not encounter this bug if they use a different name. For visibility, I'll add it to the known issues list: Nothing happens when clicking the "Play" button after creating a character. The issue occurs when the character's name is already used in the game. Workaround: Players need to use a different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried two names whose existence I had confirmed through the legacy block feature and both bugged out as described in the OP, but was able to successfully create two characters with available names. This seemed to work for me as well. After I picked a name that was mostly a mismatch of letters, I was finally able to get in. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBaskerville Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 It just makes a low, thumping noise—no message about names or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nRSmokinBLUNT Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Same problem is occurring with me after i had just got the subscription. It just won't let me create another character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturbing_Force Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 so this still hasn't been fixed.. that is great lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 so this still hasn't been fixed.. that is great lol Let's see... * It was reported with no insight into what triggers the problem on Wednesday. * A clue as to what triggers the problem was also posted and confirmed on Wednesday. * It is now Sunday. In a lot of places, including BioWare's offices in Austin, Texas, when you posted, it was very late on Saturday. * That gave them two or three days (Saturday doesn't count) to investigate, find out why the message isn't generated, etc., and then build a fix and ship it. * The studio ships patches on Tuesdays only, except in cases of emergencies (server crashes, client crashes, stuff like that) and even then they don't ship patches on Fridays. * So that gave them barely two days to find and fix. So no, it's quite unreasonable to indulge in sarcastic mockery for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
