Transferring goods; lots of items in inventory

Postby MaxPlanck » Sun Jan 10, 2016 8:59 pm

I'm curious if this is because of the recent update to how servers handle lag/too many server messages in rapid succession but I was putting turkey droppings away in boxes by transferring via Shift+Alt.

I had to wait a few seconds sometimes between after placing the droppings in a box before I could move my character and while I was doing so I was also forcefully pushed into the login screen 4 times and had to re-log in.
(I had over 400 something turkey droppings in my inventory)

It's the only time this has done this before and I haven't had a problem with it before.

hmm, might be related to the recent fix JC has pushed on the handling of these scenarios.
It would at least explain why this just became an issue.
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.

This may be the first time that has happened to MaxPlanck, but it is definetly not the first time it has happened on your client Kand. It used to pull that stunt for me any and every time I had too many things in inventory and attempted to use the auto-transfer features. Most often it was a case of needing to transfer 10 boards into a pile with other stuff in inventory (I had hoarding issues okay? OKAY?), several hundred other pieces of junk, and I believe the function would attempt to count every single item and cross reference perhaps with the type of stockpile, thus causing a good 30 second to a minute worth of input freezing.
Exactly 6.022 x 10^23 worth of Lach molecules.

Then more turkey droppings you have in your inventory - then more troubles you will have there, because shift+alt+click is sending transfer message for each piece of turkey crap you have, despite container you're interacting with can take much less.
