Two Squads Disappeared -- Anyone Else

This morning we discovered that two of our squads had disappeared -- sort of.

- The ten members are showing as not in a squad.
- The squads are not showing in the squad list.
- The members are still able to use squad chat.
- The squads are still showing in event rankings.
- Trying to invite one of the members to a squad generates a message that the person is already in a squad.
- Having one of the displaced members attempt to make a squad proceeds up until the moment of creation, at which point a server error message window is generated.

It doesn't appear to be a simple client display bug, as everyone in the fleet sees the same thing.

Does anyone have experience with this problem? It's not a huge issue this week given the absence of crew share, but we'd obviously like to get it resolved before Thursday. If it's not known to auto-resolve, I suppose one of us will try leaving and re-joining the fleet to see if that flushes the invisible squad information.

    2 squads in our fleet "spockwork orange" have been dismantled without warning and for no reason.10 of our members are shown as "not in squadron" and cannot form their squadron as they were,they get errors.can someone help with that?
  • In our fleet it happened to 1 squad as well.
    Squad chat is still active. They can't start a new squad, or invited to another squad, claiming that they are already in a squad
  • My squad disapeared (Nazareth) so I created a new one called (RR) - the omnipotent ones. It said it was available and then I got an error now it says that it’s not available. This is very frustrating as I’m missing out on rewards as well as I was the squad leader and making a run be in the top 500. This **tsk tsk**.
  • DB please expedite this ticket (#419689)
  • And nothing? The event is ticking away.
  • Same thing in our fleet
  • Our fleet is experiencing this problem as well

    If I recall correctly, squad leaders do not get any kind of bonus during galaxy events, only faction events, when the shared crew is used successfully.

    Unless you were referring to squadron rewards given at the end of the event. (:

    Our fleet has experienced having squads disbanded during the present event.... not only has this been awkward to create new squads and get everyone back together, but also the squads who were disbanded have lost all traction in the leaderboards...

    It seems there is a bug (having read the engineering forums)... but little to no explanation yet..

    It's not a bug... it's a "feature."






    Lol, just messin' with ya.

  • ShanShan ✭✭✭✭✭
    Thank you for the reports and the details, we are looking into it.
  • Is this going to be fixed before the next event starts?
  • ShanShan ✭✭✭✭✭
    It is being worked on, I hope you have all submitted tickets for this as it is not something we can identify otherwise.

    And currently it requires a manual fix.
  • ShanShan ✭✭✭✭✭
    If you have not yet submitted a ticket please do so, put un the subject line that it is for a Squadron issue, provide as much information as possible such as the name of the Squadron, thank you!
  • Shan: Given we have a crew share coming up shortly, perhaps we should all just quit and re-join our fleets, and be compensated for 24 hours of loss of fleet perks (honor, Chronitons, etc). The underlying issue that caused the problem can be fixed separately and in its own time.
  • And as soon as I post this, it gets fixed. Thanks!

    I am not sure this would be quicker or safer so I would not recommend it.
  • I put in a ticket. I will alert the others in my squad know to do the same.

    Our fleet is having the same problem. We at first thought that the squad leader had dismissed his squad, but it turns out he did not.

    The 5 players in that squad can't fully join a new squad, their squad chat window is still for their old squad. They can't quit the fleet and they can't be booted from the fleet. Trying to do either gives an error message.

    My fleet is: Federation DTI
    The squad was called: mortals

    I have already submitted a ticket with my account information and asked them to submit tickets as well.

    I encountered the same situation and the event starts in couple of hours, please fix it ASAP.
  • Me and 4 other teammates have encountered yesterday this issue too, I've taken screenshots and all of us have opened a ticket, but the situation is still the same:
    - Old squadron disappeared
    - Old squadron chat is still usable
    - Cannot create new squadron (name shows as available but creation results in an error message)

    CS told us they resetted our fleet rights (or something similar) and keeps suggesting to restart the game, but this doesn't work.

    We know this is a huge game and developers has ever been wiling and proactive, but we're concerned about losing squadron benefits for the next event, and/or losing our past squadron rankings...
  • Updating Sybok: 2 hours to a faction event and we cannot open a new squadron. We want our Squadron back.

    Sorry @Shan may I ask for your intervention? CS replied to me and my teammates in terms that make us think the issue was not rightfully perceived.
    Normally I wouldn't insist but losing a squadron membership just before a Faction is quite... Disadvantageous

  • Looks like fleets are completely broken. I'm not in a fleet. And nobody I can see is in a fleet.

    Bringing this up to the Team Lead
  • I sent in a ticket on behalf of my fleet and squad leaders. Thank you Shan for your team working on this!
