[Fix Needs Testing 69743] Vendor Get Directions does not work intermittently

Title: Get Directions does not work in all towns
Reproduction Rate: 100% so far
Blocker? no
Details: The new Vendor Listings in Zone has the option to "Get Directions" at the bottom of the window.
It worked perfectly in Novia Market but does NOT work in Britt Mart.
I will travel to other towns and confirm whether or not it works.
***UPDATE*** The first time I use "Get Directions" - DURING A CLIENT SESSION - it ALWAYS WORKS IN ANY TOWN I TRY IT IN. If I then go to another town (and any succeeding town) - during the same client session - it does NOT work.

Bottom line: "Get Directions" works only in the first town you use it in, and does not work in any subsequent towns - UNTIL you close the current client session and start a new one.

I have changed the name of the post to reflect my update here....
Steps to Reproduce: Try it.

verified. second time does not even show the message that it's been marked.

 

...and then i tried a third time in that session and it worked again. secret sauce might not found, here.

 

I couldn't reproduce this when going from Northwood to Rift's End - it worked in both towns. I went from Rift's End to Beran's Reach, and was able to reproduce it.

This pops into the debug logs when the button isn't working, every time you click it.

Same town for all 3 times , or did you go to different towns in the same session ?

 

I've now gone to 5 different towns in the same session, and the ONLY one that worked was the 1st one.
I even stayed in all 4 that didn't work in the same session, and each of them worked IF it was the first one I tried in a new session.

 

Submitted: Issue 69743

 

It seems to have been fixed..... I went to 5 towns ( one after the other ) today (since that last patch), and each worked without closing the client.
Try it again guys !

 

I'm still seeing it. It seems to be intermittent, so maybe you got lucky

 

Well, @Tiina Onir , if you're still seeing it - then they need to know it's not perfect yet.
When you come upon a town's vendor listing that doesn't respond to "Get Directions" - pls submit a bug report and put it here (since you're following up on what we thought was fixed completely).

@Justyn

 

this issue is still tagged submitted. there's no reason to think it might be fixed already, it CAN'T be: we're still on the same build the bug was reported on.

if the devs need more info, they'll ask; further reports are uneeded until they do.

 

A couple of things, @Alley Oop before we leave it at that.

1) You said:

Not correct. But submitted 30 Sept. - on 1 Oct we had a patch. ( I realize the patch notes say nothing of this issue, but then Chris doesn't always put EVERYTHING he does in the patch notes .)

2) I submitted the original bug ( OP ) and it was replicated.
Since 1 Oct I have never seen it again and I have gone to dozens of towns checking the listings.
So, "something" changed - for me at least.

The fact that @Tiina Onir ( a long timer here ) has had it happen recently says that it still exists and any new reports should be reported here.... right ?

 

last patch was 10/1, bug was given a number on 10/4. "me-too" reports are specifically discouraged in the bug brigade guidelines.

First image: Me being in Arlia, with an Arlian vendor location still on my compass and teleporting to Crafter's Town

Second image: Me being in Crafter's Town, unable to either get the compass/map marker or the 'This vendor has been marked on your compass' text to display


Third image: A tiny little typo, but showing success at being able to locate a vendor in Crafter's Town after re-launching client. Note* Simply logging out and back in did not seem to fix this for me, I had to relaunch.
