Closed Re-occurring character wipes

Every now and again, the character which I last played as gets wiped, but all the files are still in the player folder. Re-implementing files from older backups does nothing, the character still doesn't appear. I'm really starting to get annoyed because ive had to replace my novakid 3 times now -.-. I'm using the latest stable update.

 

Player wipes are to be expcted, it's even stated by the devs. You have to remember that the game is still in Beta. If they didn't wipe the characters people would be getting crashes from inconsistency in the code since the last update.

 

Does it happen when the game got updated or is this happening out of nowhere? Only affects the character you played last with or every character?

 

Happens out of nowhere, much later after an update and it only affects the last character I play with. Every other character is fine

 

- In your "..\Starbound\giraffe_storage\player" folder, are there files with .TMP at the end or .new?

- Next time this happens

a) please insert the content of your starbound logfile(s) in the giraffe_storage folder. There should be six logs from starbound.log to starbound.log.5 (open with wordpad, STRG+A, STRG+C)
with tags around the content like: [ spoiler=Logfile ][ code ] the Logfile content goes here [ /code ][ /spoiler ] without the spaces in the brackets.
That way the content is displayed without turning some strings to emoticons and is indexable by the search engines.
b) make a backup copy of your "..\Starbound\giraffe_storage\player" folder.​

 

I checked the player folder and there aren't any .TMP or .new files (But a character wipe didnt happen TOO recently either). Like i said earlier, I've made backups before but nothing happens. The player folder still has the deleted character's files but the game doesnt register them or older versions of them.

 

With an update a wipe is to be expected as FlyingAnonymoose said, if you played with a character after an update and after that the character is still there, it should not get wiped after that (if no following update occurs).

Please post the content of your recent starbound.log as described above and list the files in your player folder (screenshot is sufficient for the latter).

You are using many mods which might not be compatible with the current version of Starbound. The metadata and player file of your player got corrupted:

Code:

[11:46:09.211] Error: Failed to load metadata file .\..\giraffe_storage\player\06d712bd291c62982281a0435dca1f1b.metadata : (IOException) Wrong magic bytes at start of versioned json file, expected 'SBVJ01'
[11:46:09.236] Error: Error loading player file, ignoring! .\..\giraffe_storage\player\06d712bd291c62982281a0435dca1f1b.player : (IOException) Wrong magic bytes at start of versioned json file, expected 'SBVJ01'

There are also many asset exceptions because of the mods. Please make sure all of your mods are compatible.

You may try to restore a set of the .bak# files in the player folder after a character got wiped for you as described here: http://community.playstarbound.com/...l-items-dropped-on-ground.92441/#post-2462640

 

Another thing that is strange - some lines in the logfile are messed up like this:

Code:

[11:45:28.379] Info: Renderer initial[11:45[11:45:29.975] Info: Writing Star::Configuration to '.\..\giraffe_storage\starbound.config'

Which I saw before here: http://community.playstarbound.com/...er-and-ship-data-reverted.92406/#post-2459723

 

All the mods Im using have been downloaded after the update from the latest updates section, but one, Personal Submersible, didnt seem to specify which update it was for, so i deleted it. Also, I am using Novaskin by Bietol, a character modification mod but its Novakid specific so im confused as to why my human got corrupted

 

Downloading after an update does not necessarily mean it is compatible. It should be pointed out for each mod if it is and if there are any things to be aware of when updating the game / mod.
Is the messed up log content (those broken timestamps in the middle of a line) the genuine content of your logfile?
Did the game crash / closed for you with or without error message?

If you want to point out the mod problems, please "Report Abuse" and ask for moving the thread to the Mod Help board.

 

I couldnt be bothered to purposly modify the log content and its a private computer. I checked all the config files and they all say "Beta V. Upbeat Giraffe". However, i do not recall the game ever randomly crashing and me returning to the character not there. Its always been me closing starbound then coming back tomorrow and the character is gone

 

I asked if the content you posted matches what is in the logfile. Not because of suspecting you to modify on purpose but to be sure nothing happend on copy & paste. The log output distorted in the way above is uncommon and that's why I wanted to make sure. (Btw. Upbeat Giraffe is the main version. Protocol number (665 .. 668 until now) is the subversion and is important as well, especially for mods.)

 

Ah, right sorry. Anyway, I checked the logfile and it matches up with the log in the folder. Not too sure how to crosscheck protocol numbers though...

 

Thank you for checking this out. I would suggest to let the thread be moved to Mod Help as said before. If you encounter this issue again without using mods, please open a new thread at In-Game & Billing Support and refer to this thread in it (of course including the new logfile's content).
