Anyone know then this might be fixed, im getting it that often its making the beta unplayable, along with the not gettin into battles at all, i know CCP have said they were looking into it for us, have they seen the problem yet and anyone know of an ETA for a fix, or even a workaround i.e. not using certain menu's or something?
thanks in advance |

This bug is easy to avoid. Whenever you make a change to loadout that includes new ANYTHING you must give the server time to catch up with the changes. The invalid suit bug only happens right after you make changes in game. Since I learned this I havent seen that bug in days. Hope that helps. |

I got the bug right after getting patched for the new round (haven't played in a few weeks due to work). I was able to play in one round, then I caught another round right near the end of it, then tried to join again. I got the "server full" message, then got in and the invalid fitting thing started. I didn't make any changes that I was aware of (I had changed my PTT settings before the first match, still don't think I'm doing it right, do you HAVE to have Aurum to voicechat?) Other than that, I didn't make any changes other than my first skill changes. So I'm not real sure if the cause is making changes and the server not being able to catch up in time. |

It would be really nice if they would acknowledge some of these game breaking bugs, at least let us know that they are working on them. Also, the invalid fitting thing has happened to me when I launched the game and directly tried to start a match, so that work around isn't necessarily true. |

We are well aware of this issue, and would like to get more input whether this worked for you guys. Post away if you tried it!

The invalid suit bug is mostly random. The above fix may or may not help, but it is not a solution for every case or a cause. It seems to take place during any number of instances where the client and server are communicating/authenticating the character's assets. It generally happens in the merc quarters, either when logging in or when leaving a battle. I have never had an instance where my fittings were valid in the MQ but then invalid when joining a match. Since this started happening last build, I have checked nearly every time before/after a round to see if my assets are there.
This has little to do with the fits themselves, and has everything to do with the assets of a character as a whole. |

I can also say that the above doesn't work in all situations.
Is he playing as a single player or in a group? Did anyone buy anything? How long is a base time to wait for it to catch up...
Are you being invited to a group that has played a round and then asked you to join after you have played a round or two?
What happens when the server doesn't end my clients team chat....even though I didn't use it. Same thing with that system, flip it and for the love of all things sane.... stop making it a squad in the merc quarters make it a group, or are there really 6 SL's able to set a frago for a ambush match?
Backing out of a Battle Initiliazing because one person was left behind in the merc quarters, if you leave the queue to try to pick them back up, nope you freeze because now the server doesn't know where the client is. If you then rejoin the group without remaking the whole thing you got a 70-30 chance that 1 person at least will get in-valid drop suit glitch.
I'd love to be able to stay restocked up to 50, I just don't have the 15 mil isk it would take this time around. How much militia gear can I test before it becomes boring?
If you end a game and the Team Channel or multiple team channels are in the select button area, chances are 60-40 that you will freeze or get the drop suit glitch.
Can it possibly have something to do with the fact that order the dropsuits are supposed to be in gets messed up.
Meaning I have paid suits mixed in between my [starter fits], and on top of that my created ones are in no particular order and are not in the order to which I created them. Oh sure sometimes they reset back to the order they were created in, and then that usually results in the drop suits going invalid shortly.
I have also gotten invalid on the first game in the merc quarters when I re-added a friend to the group without remaking the whole group.
It has occcured because we have switched Squad leaders, but then again I have the same friend with 2 different accounts with the same NAME....so there is a laundry list that keeps going around; how about put up a sticky and move all posts about the issue to one thread and keep us appraised of which one of them are actually not the reason and are just coincidence? |

I never really change my fits around, and I still get it occasionally. In fact, I don't edit fits unless I'm unlocking a new tank piece to replace something already equipped. It has never followed changing fits for me, and from my experience, it happens more often when entering a skirmish match after a string of ambushes. That could just be noticing it more, because the people I play with like to play skirmish, so it's an upset when it happens, and we don't care about having to back out of ambush. |

I got this error on the first match. I made no changes and went straight to the instant battle. It usually happens to me after about 3 matches. Communications displays two or three teams and it will not load the mercs names in squad or team tabs. |

I've found the solution to the suits being out of order is to create a new fitting, this alone 're-orders the fittings back to how they should be, you can immediately delete it without even having to add any modules, just creating it sorts it. |

Invalid bug :
no fittings changed : getting invalid bug showing
server full message : this is a major cause, invalid fittings come if you see this message,
you can open fitting window, it will show everthing as ok. suits fittings etc etc all are ok
if you open any window, the game crashes.
If you start a new battle the PS3 dies, it freezes the game stops and a hard reboot is needed.
i have had it where even holding the PS3 button on controller does nothing a full total lock out.
change my fittings:
still invalid bug , eaxclty the same as above even if fittings changed, evenif i wait 25 mins.
yes i even waited 25mins after fitting change just to see if server was hanging or a tad slow,
picking up my suits changes. it still crashes !!

Is this invalid suite just for one particular Dropsuite loadout, or for when you launch and all dropsuites are invalid? |

Thanks CCP Frame for dropping by, nice to be in communication at frustrating times, especially with all the new(and old hehe) fodder thats about that i could be killing whilst i am unable to get into a battle.
Ok, the not changing any fittings workaround doesnt seem to work, although i did see more stability in the client when i gave it a moment after changing a fit etc.
Tonight i've had to hardboot my PS3 more times than i probably have done in the last year, all errors brought up in this thread i have experienced, and it seems the longer i play, the worse they get, and i crash starting games more and more often after joining a lobby, or get stuck on the controller loading screen causing me to have to hardboot sometimes.
Having looked for some pattern, all the d/c and errors along with the amount of reboots i have to make, i can say that it just seems random. There is not one thing i am doing consistently except using the instant battle button. And i still crash in all the ways Mr. Tamiacowboy pointed out.
I have loads of fun in matches as well, i hope this can be fixed soon, cmon CCP we got faith! |

I didn't even change anything. I played once and it did it in the next match I joined and has been doing it ever since rendering the game unplayable. See you next weekend. :) |

I had the worst luck earlier got invalid bug reset dust and instantly got another invalid. I reset game again and got the bug again then reset ps3 to finally get to play. So far the best work around me and my corp have come up with for the most efficient use of our time is 2 part.
1 only restock after joining a match either in war barge or before spawning
2 if any of the squad gets the bug everyone resets dust
These seem to work the best for us. |

I had 4 invalid fitting problems today, 3 after creating or editing fitting and the other when I opened the chat window while connecting to a game. |

Since falling victim to this bug a number of times, i have made it a point to do absolutely nothing when i begin a Dust session. i run all militia gear therefore i never have a reason to restock anything. I don't even use skill points or purchase anything from the market, intentionally to try to avoid this bug since the trigger is still unknown. Unfortunately, i still experienced the invalid fitting bug tonight. The previous occurrences were during solo battles, and where i was indeed making changes in between games. Tonight, i made absolutely no changes to anything in my assets or fittings in order to avoid the bug. i was however in a squad with one other person this time. As far as i know, i did nothing to cause it, and it still happened. I would love to be able to point the finger at a particular trigger for the issue, but i can't because i did nothing to trigger it, yet it still occurred which leads me to believe it's not a specific thing we are doing in game to cause it, it's just a random bug or server issue. It would be nice if CCP could give us any feedback on whether it is a legitimate user triggered issue even if the specific cause is unknown, or if it could potentially just be a random issue caused by something on their end unaffected by what we do. Since i have attempted to narrow it down by doing nearly nothing, and it still happened, i'm leaning towards the fact that there is no particular user action trigger and we may all be doing unnecessary 'rituals' to lower our likelihood of experiencing this problem, when in fact, they may not influence experiencing the issue at all. |

I'll try to help the dev as much as possible, but it sems this bug is still random. I may have found a connection, but I'm not sure. I've quit and logged back on a number of times today, being that the Instant Battle will drop me into a battle and I may forget something, and almost every time, it freezes without bringing up the Searching For Battle status box. If it doesn't, there is ussually a battle in progress that it joins automtically, and all suit configs become Invalid. After I quit that battle, and try to go into instant Battle, it always freezes. I've done this tonight maybe 7 or 8 times, and tried the workaround after three or so, but in every instance I discribed above, the workaround didn't help, as I haven't changed my suit or vehical loadouts today exept once, and then I had to restart as well. Good luck finding the bug, Dev, I hope that helps. |

Thanks didn't want to comment in a thread that was on a different bug.
That said, I'm also experiencing it. Where as the event might occur for some after making some changes, I've had it happen just going from one match to the next one. Granted yes, it is possible what is being updated in the background might be inventory from items gained in the last match, I'm not actively going into market or updating dropsuites. I have found that I can wait it out and it will eventually catch up. Haven't found a minimum time to wait yet. I tried for 15 minutes, as suggested in another post, but it ended up being a hour. Will try again later, as I'm sure it will crop up when I play today. |

Same here. Hit me couple days ago after one match. I started up another and and all my militia fittings (the only ones I have) are Invalid. Started the game up again today, checked my fittings were good to go. Started a match, Invalid.
I do notice that it has ONLY hit me since the servers went away and I was forced to use Instant Battle. When are the servers coming back, btw? I dislike Ambush. |

Update: (I got 12 games in a row with a group of 2 that was only stopped by a random joining into our squad during a match more on this later) [& many sessions of 7 or more before more people joined unexpectly, in match.]
Question: How are you making your groups? Are you selecting the first open slot right under your name and loading up 2-3 names from your contact list and sending out a bunched group invite? Has anyone taken the tediously long time to invite each person to an open slot?
General Information about the problem, it is generally associated / linked with the mechanics that control the Marketplace as you have 0 gear even for militia stuff in your assests and the market is normally not accessible, you will not be able to save any changes to vehicle and dropsuit fittings as they won't be saved upon restart, you are no longer properly connected to the server.
Before joining into a group, there can be no previous group, the whole group has to be remade (meaning that if you have 2, and a 3rd wants in, you both have to leave and also if you have 3 and want a 4th).... I need to test this more when we go to get into 3's & 4's in the group more) If you do get the invalid glitch because of an extra team text/voice channel, everyone must restart the game only, not the entire ps3, unless it freezes going back to the xmb.
Also before joining a group
Step 1: IF your dropsuits are out of order, do the trick where you get them to line up the right way.
Step 2: Then once you are in group waiting to launch an instant battle, only the squad leader can go into the neocom (start button menus), and only to select instant battle at this point. Do not look at anything while waiting for people to arrive, you just have to sit there and do nothing. Also avoid going anywhere near the Local channel (select button menu) as that trying to load names while hang many a system and only displays the written conversation.
If someone gets left behind in the merc quarters while the battle initializing menu is on the screen, do not back out until you are in the warbarge or the choose spawn location option is available. You can sometimes back out, but once the team chat channel is created you have to ride it out until the match launches - if already in progress or be in the warbarge with more than 20 seconds on the clock before start. If anyone has the extra team channel, you should remake the whole group.
For whatever reason, the marketplace seems linked at least in some way to the host or squad leader before you get in the war barge (this is just a rudimentary guess at best and I know it has been mentioned by others already about not doing anything until in game).
Once you get into the warbarge the system seem to stop thinking of you as a group or squad and links your account to the battle, for score and kills/deaths, sp and isk. It is at this time or in match that you should be able to access the menu and restock or adjust. |

4x reboots in a row. yup broken my personal best of 2 reboots.
it is broken, i am unhappy,
no changes at all, no squads made all auto gen from server/client.
invalid fitting, either from a server full message. or a borked player waiting screen.
but now a new bug has turned up with the invalid fitting.
when i get an invalid fitting i also noticed a squad chat running, infact 3x squad chat running.
i was able to activate chat on all three chanels one by one.
was able to navigate menus, but crashed when i went to instabattle again.
i turned of for the night after that, was pointless after 4 reboots an hour, and only three matches played.
so i logged into eve and found i had got 110m sp :). sometimes invalid bug is good bug lol |

nope i waited 5 minutes after wards, and then waited 15 and it still did it. It didnt always happen after making changes either, sumtimes it would just randomly happen. |

My friend and I have both had this happen today as usual, and seeing this post we thought it may help but we both have blank lines when we open a new fitting. So this doesn't work for everyone unless you can elaborate a little, did you try this from in you quarters i guess as we both did .?
As far as we can see this is just random, I had changed nothing for sometime and a few battles in, all suits are invalid.

I am going to be further testing my theory in a little while, however it might all be do to the fact that some of our salvage items are not in the market place at all and can not be restocked, when you do try to restock them it says item not found in market (or something close to that).
Listen, this is just like the First Batman movie with micheal keaton, and jack nickolson.....you can't use deodorant while also using hairspray and toothpaste type of thing. Since it is still an ongoing problem, I felt the need to just spitball with everyone about the limited success I have had. I did game yesterday for about 8 hours, with about 6-7 random in-valids hitting the squad leader mostly (who was playing in the menus and restocking while in the merc quart), while I had 2-3 random in-valids hit only when I also did something by hitting a button either select or start button menus, when I didn't do anything but turn my merc around to not look at the screens in my quarters.
I still have my 4 default starter fits in their original defaults, no changes to modules or anything within them. I have my loadout's names customized (renamed) all 14 of them +the original 4 starter fits.
Can you please share how you are making your groups?
I don't know about the rest of you, but my local chat channel is so huge it never loads, don't even bother to look at it as it seems to want to keep trying to load for a good 5 minutes or more sometimes. |

I get this bug a lot. Don't see any pattern, seems completely random. I've had it five or six times since the new update and it is really annoying. |

Yea, got the invalid bug. Restarted the game, didn't open a single window when i got in, but clicked circle to enter instant que, got invalid bug again after 3 consecutive "server full" errors. going to look into the posibility of using the instant que button instead of the console in your room to activate it. |

It seems to happen more often while teamed up with a friend. Which is aggravating. But thats why we are testing it right? |

I posted earlier in a thread somewhere. But, I have been using starter fits and making no changes at all.not even using the menu. And I have gotten this error. |

I was not having the best of luck either last night, I ended up only able to get 8 games in before a 5pt skirmish bricked on the controller out to the merc quarters.
Rolling as a single player was a nightmare, when the invalid glitch didn't hit the comm channel would lock on to the team channel...
requiring a lot of restarts of the game. i got pulled into so many groups, to just explain things; like how the squad up works and the chat channels, even how to make a militia dropsuit.....so much mail came in to my ps3, let me just say it is a pain for me to type with the move so text messaging was a pain in the tuckus. I am forced to hip fire everything, and can't use most of the stuff but that is okay.....magically they will get that working perfectly for launch with no input from anyone actually using it; but again that is another issue.
You can only hide behind the "it is a beta, for so long".............wish we could get a pity post of some sort or response from someone in ccp with something other than we are not really concerned with this, we are working on the new stuff.
Well, I just want to know, are you going to let this go until the next build (because it is not an issue in that one; which will be eluded to for a long time before we actually get to play it), and could you give us a ballpark figure on if that will be in the end of september or the beginning of october.
You at ccp don't want me wasting your time, please take the same consideration for mine....how much feedback can we give when the only thing we are talking about is, how are your suits, hey they are okay.....mine are invalid, okay restart and make the group....see you in 6 minutes.
I mean something to take the stink off the past 11 days of this nonsense.
I wonder how many new players are giving up because of this and deciding to get a different game. |

I've noticed i tend to get this bug right at the start of my gaming session if i log into Dust and edit my fittings or restock them before entering a match.
Every single time i've logged in for the last few days i've used this method to test it and it seems that every single time i've gone into fittings before doing anything else in game that i get the invalid bug or the game won't connect to a match and i have to restart.
Hope that helps. |

I hope they fix the server. Sometimes, it disconnects you when it fails to communicate with your ps3 when transferring information. |

at the other hand, i never had to do a hard reboot of the PS, invalid fittings? yes, mostly after my character has been standing idle due to waiting for friends to come back online after restarting the game, or after looking arround in the market to plan my skill-ups.
tried before to just run arround in my quarters for 15 minutes, and then i didn't got an invalid fitting, tried that several times, never had invalid fittings.
then i tried several times leaving my character and not moving it an inch, i had invalid every time i went into battle after that.
Cannot be coincedense after testing that a few times.
would be nice if some1 else would be willing to put that to the test. |

I've noticed it mostly when I get a server full message or I leave my toon idle for awhile. Mostly idle but always when I get a server full message. I also noted that the more it happens the worse it gets. If I get 2 or 3 invalid fits in a day I'm done because it will start happening almost every match. (I start getting more server full messages as well. Seems like any bug creates another bug soon after.) I try to grind for as long as I can and then dink around with skill/fitting, go outside for a smoke, ect. It seems to help. I'm no computer wiz but I'm guessing some sort of memory leak.. |

I've had the same problems, standing around idling in game seems to cause huge issues. |

Yes I've noticed this too. Go away for 15mins or so and idle in your MQ and if you come back, usually have Server Full / Connection has been Lost etc etc. and have to restart.
I rebooted twice in a row last night due to invalid fittings, I didn't do anything but log in and the first two matches I was in I received Invalid Fittings. I rebooted my PS3 13 times last night, was close to the record...

That's entirely false. I've had the invalid bug pop at random times and it doesn't seem to be related to change in fitting.
This time it happened right after I created two new characters (I had only one up to now).
I'll log into one of these new characters and let you know if I can play that.

thanks in advance
This are the most common bugs I get. I bug out around 75% of the time. I can only really play 2-3 games a day because of all the freezing, loading, and resetting. |

The past couple of days I've played I haven't had the bug, and I've only heard it happen twice to people in my squad chat. Before it seemed to happen every 4-5 matches. At least one of things causing the bug fixed? If so, thanks CCP! |

at the other hand, wheneve i'm squad leader, my squad is having less invalid fittings then usual, if i give squad llead to some1 ellse it happens very frequently |

When playing with my GF in a squad we are playing over one connection and it seems to influence the risk of invalid fitting turning u. Sounds definitely like a sync problem between client and database at the server. |

Did not work for me. I've had the invalid bug upon loading the game and upon entering a match even though I had not made any changes to anything. |

FYI DEV,
I've had this bug a number of time now and beginning to understand what may actually be the cause.
I hope that this is correct but are all the fittings validated prior to battle, I would guess that is a yes because you want to stop a suit being used if there is no stock !
Well, what happens to all the suits if the connection to the market is lost and no validation can take place, another guess is, "you make them all invalid". Not a coding problem I think but, simply a stability issue with the market server.
Just an idea but fingers crossed it is correct, and this issue can finally be laid to rest.
Lil Libi
PS, when I get invalid suits, I also have no access to the market ! - of course I could also be completely and utterly wrong lol, but i hope not. ! |

As if i notice market lagging i get bug or after i get bug i look at market and it seems to not connect to market.
now i dont know how it set up but t apears that the invalid bug isstemming with the clinet not being able to gather market or invotory infomation thus staiton i own nothing including starter kits. |
