[Fixed 69497] Removing Kobold weather machine does not reset weather

07/26/2021 16:35
Title: Kobold weather machine
Reproduction Rate:
Blocker?
Details: Installing the machine while it is raining, will disperse the clouds and rain. But removing it will not set back the weather to its original setting. i have to zone out and back in to see the changes.
Steps to Reproduce:
User Specs:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz (16) System RAM: 32688
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 GPU RAM: 8031
SotA.Win.64.1424.Date.07.20.21
Area: POT_forest_metropolis_01b_template/Rajazel
Area Display Name: Rajazel
Loc: (119.2, 38.0, 77.5)
Debug: UE9UX2ZvcmVzdF9tZXRyb3BvbGlzXzAxYl90ZW1wbGF0ZXxSYWphemVsfCgxMTkuMiwgMzguMDMxLCA3Ny40NjIpfCgwLCAtMC4wMjYsIDAsIDEpfC0zNS4xNTI1MnwtMTIuMjkyOTZ8MTAuNjY4NjE=

 

verified on QA1223. i loaded a scene with a clear machine already in it. the weather happened to actually be clear at the time. i picked up the machine and waited, and at the next 15-minute weather change, it changed to heavy clouds but the sky is still visibly clear.

 

Un-Tech-Educated Comment:

I'm going to leave these comments here because of my own ongoing tests and what has been needed with those;

Did you verify through another player that same observation of the same event?
Were they too not seeing the rain as they entered the POT after you removed the machine?
Did it stop raining caused by normal weather comings and goings while you had the weather machine placed?
As in Alley Oop's observation , there could be lingering effect on Alley Oop, while a different player entering into that POT instance would not see the same lingering effect. Circumstantial to the individual till exit and not the scene.


This may be being seen by the individual player, while others where were not there when or during the machine effecting the instance. Such observers could be seeing something different, which is similar to the effects of the Time Machines (if either of you have seen those). One could be sort of telling on the other, weather compared with time machines.

I just wanted to state that I have had conflicting reports in what other players have seen.

It may be helpful for multiple players to witness the same test, all from differing vantage points within all the elements surrounding the individual test.

I do not think individual player testing or observations are empirical or definitive in all that possibly could be seen within the same event.

There's my less tech qualified two cents about observations surrounding these and similar machines.

Sorry to interupt if that's not in any way helpful, being such a layman as I am and likely to remain.

I do thank all ye' bug hunters in helping me through all my little day to day problems, "sincerely!"

The weather machine cancels the flashing effects that sometimes are seen in using the noon time machine, even after leaving the POT or other instances... thus far...
~TL~

 

Submitted: Issue 69497

 

@simon1974, please check this now. i think it may have been fixed with the time machine flickering bug.

 

i removed my kobold weather machine(clear) and weather came back to what its supposed to be. did it numerous time and all looks fine.
