(reported) Missing tradeships

Did you change your government form?

This can happen if they are dislocated. They could be back (they are not described as missing), but they are still out.
You cant see them in combat window (left side) or even ships window.

They will be back in few minutes. I think I had maximum about half an hour or so.

There is a known Bug, that causes your ships to vanish. They never found the cause, so instead now there's a script each hour (iirc) that "unvanishes" all ships.

I pillage someone, they are back and unloaded the resources and then vanish. After 30 mins plus they shows up

Can you do that multiple times and explain how it can be replicated by other players?

That will help find the issue.

If someone is able to forward steps to reproduce this issue we will be happy to get this bug fixed as well.

Up to now all steps to reproduce didn't worked and the root cause is still unknown

Happened to me 3 times in a week, one of them 1 hour until return , the others just few minutes, it's random.

That is not random - the script runs once a hour - random is your distance to the next run. But thats not the issue.
The issue is, that the script is required.

My cargo ships disappeared after returning from pillaging an inactive (Combat ID 1705826). The Inactive has not been graveyarded. The cargo ships unloaded their cargo in my port. I have logged out and back in, done a refresh, and the cargo ships are still gone.

None of the ships are scattered. My port is not blocked.

What's happened? When will my ships return?

And the cargo ships have just reappeared.

Yes, it use to happen - the cause is still unknown but thanks to an implemented script the ships are back within an hour in such cases.

Hopefully reporting these incidents will help pinpoint the problem and lead to a solution.

I'm sorry I didn't realize this was still open. My town advisor reported loot arriving in town 100k total about 36 hours ago. I was serial looting with 200 merchant ships so as I wouldn't lose them to Colossus.

I underlined where I am most sure this occurred as I got tired of waiting and took a war nap .

These are the combat ID's

This was US Alpha

Starman

My army returned from their raid, shows timestamp in overview.

..

but all my tradeships are missing. They are not scattered and i cant find them on any tab. This bug is costing me..

I tried to log out and log back in but nothing.

Is there something im missing? Why did I use amborisia to send out merchant ships when my tradeships are actually GONE.

this is some bs not going to lie

Neverminded, they were back now. but they were missing for a total of roughly 17 minutes. They were not scattered or on any missions.

but still a bug worth reporting.

in a future event to report a bug, is there another way to contact GF directly about the bugs or do we just post here and hope something happens?

actually there is another bug i noticed too i might as well list it here as well. After server updates, usually total troop upkeep costs are voided for a couple of minutes. i never timed it but maybe i will next time.

anyone else share these bugs? or have the same issues?

Thanks for any help!

Hi nRg

Thanks for reporting this. It's a known issue. however, the cause or reproduction steps are still not clear to fix it. Usually, in such cases, the ships are back within an hour.

Regarding other bugs - please either open a separate thread in the forum's bug section with all details or open a support ticket.
