Hot Buttons Changing After Zoning?Follow

I really like the option of changing the size of the hot buttons and especially like being able to rename them since I can't remember what some of the buttons do with the standard AA names. However, after renaming the buttons they revert back to their original names after zoning and/or logging. I'm wondering if this is a glitch, or if the names only "stay put" if one purchased VoA.

Anyone with and without VoA notice this at all?

Thank you in advance for your replies.

I have VOA and am not having this issue.

I have not renamed or resized the buttons. However, I have re-configured one bar to be 2 columns of 6 rows. >EVERY< time I log in, it's 1 column of 12 rows, and I change it back to 2x6 again. General chat on Tunare says it's a known bug and will be fixed in the next patch. Perhaps what you're seeing is related.

I don't mean to be contradictory, but I do not know how this could be a "known" (which implies widespread and constant to me) bug. I say this because since VoA, which I do have if that matters, my configuration on my bard is 5 vertical resized rows of 1x12, with 2 horizontal boxes of 2x6 sized to fit underneath in a very tidy box. My configuration has *NEVER* changed, from day one until now. In fact, I have specialized and unique custom set ups on all three of my boxed accounts, and none of them have been changed or reset in any way since I set them up. If this is a known bug, I have somehow managed to avoid it. Perhaps it has some weird relationship to certain computer specs or settings? That would be my only initial guess as my setup has not changed since I spent (probaby literally) hours getting it looking just right and all pretty. Also, I play quite a bit being self employed, and have never seen this brought up or discussed in Bertox general chat.

* Fake edit : I talked to my group tonight, and none of them have been afflicted yet, either. May I ask if you by chance /ex to log out? The only reason I ask is that there used to be (and maybe still is, I don't know) a bug where using /ex to close out the game many times caused your chat settings like font size, window filters and placement, to not be saved. I work extensively building and repairing computers, and because of this I am the unofficial resident IT tech for my group. One of my regular group members was having this issue and was convinced someone was "hacking" him just to ***** with him. I stumbled upon the fact that using /ex to log out sometimes failed to save and in fact reset some of those very settings. Once this member stopped using /ex as a quick way to exit the game, he stopped having the problem. I'm not saying you do, I'm just brainstorming to troubleshoot here because if it is a bug, it definitely is not a constant or very widespread one. Maybe there is something that those of you having this issue have in common, be it settings, computer configuration or components or ...? I will look into this further and see if I can dig up a possible cause. Check back here, and if I find anything I will let you know. I love to troubleshootstuff like this and help people fix annoying problems like this. I just have a problem accepting this is a known bug when my personal survey has failed to find anyone else afflicted by this problem.

Have NEVER done /ex to log out. Always /camp or /camp desktop

As far as it being "known": I asked in general chat, and had three people respond almost immediately that they saw the same thing, and one said it was known and was scheduled to be fixed. Is it possible that he was FoS and just blowing smoke up my butt? Certainly. I was just reporting what I'd heard.

As far as I am concerned, I'm not that worried about it. Takes me all of two seconds to fix it when I log in.

PS - Fanra's first post in the thread linked above (5th or 6th post) is exactly what I'm seeing

I really appreciate all the new info and I briefly checked out the links given. I will go back and read them in detail when I have a bit more time. I also posted in the thread about my issue. Sounds like something can be done within the .ini file; I just have to figure out what...lol.

I do use /ex to camp out a lot, but my particular issue (the hot button names changing) occurs when I zone as well.

Will report back with any updates. :)

According to the Dec 14th patch notes: the 2x6/3x4 button resizing issue is fixed. Hopefully the "button text change" issue some were experiencing was fixed also.

Update - Still having the same issue after the recent patch.

Eh. By that time I'll know by heart what the AA buttons do...lol. (I already mostly do now; just a couple sound like they do the same thing and I end up summoning a non-existent corpse when I'm in the heat of battle and trying to regain health & mana.

Right on! Power to the people! Oooppsss...wrong decade. I mean...yeah, let's make our voices heard. (Ok, still sounding a bit 60'ish, but I'm with ya!)

I was referring to the AAs that I create Hot Buttons for :) That's a good idea, Yther...thank you for that suggestion!!! I often forget about macros since I solo so much and usually don't have the general grouping ones.

If you ever create that UI, PLEASE let us know!!!!
