Shattered Kingdoms

Judging from how I saw you created the need for parole, Syn, I don't think I would trust you with surrender.

I've never had this happen, but over the years I have accidentally auto-surrendered more times than I can count. So pro. If there is an actual bug though that is effed up

This bug only happens if you have a long outlaw list against you, are covered in phat lewt, and ready to not be captured by the law.

Pretty much.

I hear what everyone is posting, but I just figure if it was a regularly occurring bug we would have seen a log by now. Just to be crystal clear you're all saying the setting itself is changing, right? When typing AUTO by itself, this:
means you WILL surrender, and this:
means you WILL NOT surrender.

...has anyone been jumped by the guards while it was already set like the second example above shows? If so, it hints at a problem with bounty NPCs, rather than the AUTO flags.

If anyone wants to prove the setting actually changes, turn on logging all the time and add an alias as part of your login that types AUTO by itself. Then make if your client sees surrender is ON in the current setting list have it beep at you or something. If you detect a change in the flag that you didn't previously initiate, we might then be able to narrow down what is flipping the status.

Looked at this more today and can't see the problem. Viltrax's suggestion is a good one. I don't believe that the setting is ever changed by the code, so as soon as you are 'auto surrendered' please check your auto setting and send me the log where it shows whether it is ON or OFF.

Of course you also get surrendered when you are stunned. Is there a possibility that some affect knocked you out and it just looked like an actual auto surrender instead? Again, I'd like to see logs. Thanks.

I can say, this bug may be rare but it exists. Last time I played I was in Taslamar (where my character is very wanted) I never toggled anything, then today I log on and head out to help someone with something and get arrested instantly. Who knows the cause, and if I had surrendered recently I would totally be on board with it being accidental on my part. However I know it was off last I played. I usually check if it is on or off before I step into wanted land, brain farted it today and wow it was on for no good reason!

It has always existed for very long now. It had happened to me several times, even in characters that would never and for no reason surrender. It can't be replicated so it's really hard to detect, but it is out there and it happens

Yea I know! Seems like every time it happens to me its in like the worse case scenario. Wish I saved a log, but I was surrendering when I typed auto, even though last I was on I know i was not. So to EVERYONE check before you walk into land you are wanted in! Jail is by far the biggest determent from the game.

Maybe there's an evil imm that's wizinvis to Dulrik himself, who creeps around at night and toggles our auto surrender when it sees that we have phaw lewt and a long list.
