OK this is a big bug. It seems as though I'm the only one with the problem

[_____________spaztic]

I've been trying to get a couple simple devices, a screwdriver, and a biotech-something-another. both used for making sellable & usable items from monster parts & robot junk.

The problem is when I got to the terminals in the trade room that sell these items the terminals are empty. In the group of terminals that contain these items the only one I can see items in it the implant terminal. Also the terminals are all named "name missing".

Now someone had suggested that I reinstall. I did that and it didn't help. in fact its worse. I was at least able to see the names of most of terminals before. Now I can't.

Now I know that the terminals are the right ones for the items I'm looking for. As I had said in an earlier post that I was escorted there by a friend. This friend also purchased one of the items for me. then traded it to me. unfortunately, when he traded it to me (screwdriver) I was given nothing. I accepted a blank trade. but moments later I had a "no name" item in my inventory.

So please someone help me. I feel that there is a lot in this game that I'm not able to enjoy because of this malfunction.

Thank you

Spaz,

I had your same problem. Mine started with the inability to use the implant machines. I talked to GM Lucien and he determined that I needed to reinstall and repatch the game.

Since I had already download the 11.0-14.0 patch file(14.0 corrupt file problem), I thought I would just reinstall AO, then run the patcher.

After doing that, I re-entered the game. All my inventory was "No Name" and the newer machines like the bookstore were also "No Name", so apparently not all data had been reinstalled.

What I did then was to delete everything. First by using the "remove program", then by deleting the directory manually, deleting the downloaded patch fom my desktop, manually. Finally, I used find to search for any remaining "anarchy*.*" files. I found a few "anarchy.err" files, and erased them.

With this clean slate, I reinstalled the game, then re-downloaded the big patch file into my ao directory, then patched again. I think I used that AP.exe, (A file I had not noticed before).

Anyway, I may have done redundant steps as I am not a computer savvy person, but it worked. Good luck and I hope you have a cable modem.

Try redoing your speed database over. Goto your AO folder and rung the speedreader program once to delete it. then run it again to remake it.

That doesnt always fix it.

AO's Database get corrupt after a few months, your just nerfing your char not reinstalling its gay that you have too.
I could'nt rage at one point it said i didnt have the skill, stupid ao!
