That annoying empty Quest tab bug

[Natashaelle]

Just experienced it again on Live ---

--- and my reason for mentioning it here is that on the recent ask the Devs at DDOcast, it was mentioned that the Devs suspected that it was due to some sort of database mishandling related to large numbers of people overloading I/O.

Except that, well ... I just experienced it on the *Keeper* server of the European service, and at this time of morning there were only *16* people online, not including any Anonymous people.

This doesn't alter the fact that the randomness of the bug is inherently non-reproducible unless you get "lucky" with it, but whatever the bug is, I can report that it seems to have nothing to do with large numbers of players online and simultaneously accessing the DB.

Not sure if that helps, but there ya go

One thing to also point out is - it usually happens if you log on and immediately
press 'O' to look at the social window e.g. LFM, guild, who etc.
As most of us tend to do.

However it rarely happens if you login and don't touch anything for about 1-2 minutes
which is how I avoid it (and it's the same on eu server Keeper also).

same annoyance with the favor tab...

I had it again this afternoon LOL

Someone in my guild suggested that it occurs more frequently if you have a large number of toons, and you log in and out of them all repeatedly over a period of some days.

Might be worth investigating ?
