Improper chaos value in map list

Open Alexis-Grimm opened this issue 5 years ago • 9 comments

Hello, When i look in my recent maps list I will notice that a couple of my maps every once and a while will show much higher chaos values than I expected from them given what I noticed picking up. Naturally I click on these maps to see what I got that I hadn't noticed, however once within the details of the map, the item list and chaos value will demonstrate a much more accurate and believable number. here are a couple examples: Temple Map: 56.63 Chaos when in reality I got 18.05 image An even more extreme example this canyon map: 51.54 chaos when in reality I found 11.86 image These are rather extreme examples however I have noticed that almost all of my maps and zones have small inaccuracies in the same way, between 2 and 5 chaos usually sometimes higher sometimes lower. These i'm not so worried about it's just these 30-40 chaos inaccuracies that get me. It's not that the maps themselves are getting incorrect values as far as i can tell the value in the details is fairly accurate, it's specifically the value shown in the map list.

Along with this you will notice that in both of these maps it says that i picked up remnants of corruption, i did not pick up any remnants of corruption, these are the remnants of corruption that i keep in my inventory all the time and yet they (and multiple other currencies I carry around for strongboxes) show up as gains in nearly every map edit: Thank you so much for your time, this app is incredible and far better than any kind of map tracking software I've found, it's honestly almost as necessary to me as an item filter, which is saying quite a bit.

Hello, and thanks for the support!

Are you experiencing these problems consistently? Was only able to replicate the issue when the PoE servers were temporarily unable to retrieve my inventory... it seems that when this happens your entire inventory will be treated as "newly picked up" and added to the map value.

I've implemented a fix in v0.2.44, please check if the problem still persists.

Yeah i was experiencing both issues consistently, with the most recent update i'm not experiencing the second issue, however i'm still experiencing the first issue where a map on the list will show a different chaos value than the actual gained chaos value. So it would seem they aren't related.

I see... the only legitimate reason I can see for the discrepancy is the Ignore non-bulk items less than __ chaos in value in the settings screen ("Stash" tab). Have you changed this setting?

Also, can you send me these files for debugging?

%appdata%\exile-diary\log.txt

%appdata%\exile-diary\<CHARACTERNAME>.db (if it's not too large)

Oh yeah that actually makes sense, i had it set to ignore non-bulk items below 1 chaos, which actually accounts for the discrepancies i am currently getting, I'll make sure to check it tomorrow to see if i still get them now that i have it set to 0, thanks!

Obviously doesn't account for the discrepancies in the photos but i haven't had any example more extreme than half a chaos or so since the update.

log.txt

Can't seem to upload the .db file on git hub because of the file type.

Hmm, it seems that the issue I mentioned (unable to get inventory) is happening fairly often for you, once every few hours but sometimes multiple times an hour. It's indicated by this line in the log file:

Failed to get current inventory: Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 104.19.185.16:443

The root cause is bad connection between the PoE servers and you, so I can't fix it directly... will think about how to handle this better. Would a popup message at the bottom warning about this be OK for you?

Uh no that's fine now that i know the problem, I've been meaning to improve my network, currently running on wifi, want to connect by Ethernet.

I believe the net worth on the Main screen is still calculating the value of items hidden by the "ignore non-bulk items less than" setting, which is causing profit values to be different on the Main screen summary and the individual map details pane.
