Character "Stuck"

So, my character Ignaruk Vhal-Zharuun is essentially stuck. I went to change his profile and it lagged a bit, so I refreshed the site. Now, that character cannot do anything at all. No commands, no text, no profile editing; nothing. It continually gets request timeouts.

I have cleared the cache, logged out/back in and used a brand new Google Chrome download with nothing synced, and it remains. Another character I have, on the same account, network, browser, everything… works just fine. I’m honestly not sure what to do here.

Edit to add: I logged out after sleeping all characters I had active (except Ignaruk) and flushed my DNS on Windows, and cleared Edge’s cached/cookies/site data. I logged back in and now that character does not exist on my character page. Here

Refreshing in the same room I got this and an empty looking pane:

EventBus.js:220  TypeError: this.lookingAt[(intermediate value)(intermediate value)(intermediate value)] is not a function
    at e.value (CharPagesChar.js:87:31)
    at e.value (CharPagesChar.js:103:8)
    at new e (CharPagesChar.js:35:8)
    at e.value (CharPages.js:106:25)
    at EventBus.js:218:15

This continues to occur if looking at Aspera Ailurid.

Morning all!

Okay. We have one of those.
I still haven’t found out why it happens.

@Skye , where your character the first to be affected, you think? When did occurr?
This is due to a character getting so-called “deadlocked”. Most interactions with a deadlocked character will cause your own character to end up deadlocked. And thus is spreads.

But I eventually need to find the reason why the ground-zero character ends up in that state, so I can fix the bug. What did they do when it happened?

For now, I will just restart the server and it will be allright!

I was in the Station Park. I clicked on a different profile to change to it. It “lagged out” and I refreshed the site to try and restart the connection (that usually fixes it for me) and then that’s basically when it all went downhill.

@Accipiter I managed to catch this snippet in the console when it was going on, I don’t know if it helps at all or is just, regular 404 errors but…:

Toaster.js:96 [Toaster] Error: h{rid: 'core.char.pc9p0qn5mrj005fq4o1g.ctrl', method: 'call.core.char.pc9p0qn5mrj005fq4o1g.ctrl.useExit', params: {…}, _code: 'system.timeout', _message: 'Request timeout',…}

It was something with the core service (Wolfery consist of a bunch of separate services, where the core is the main one).

Once restarted, it seems to work nicely again.

Ah, thank you very much. I’m glad everything is back to normal-ish. I appreciate it.
