Summary0008853: No spells upon joining server
DescriptionEncountered this just now, and it's a real pain. ._.

To tell you the truth, this isn't the first time that this has happened, it has been around for quite a few versions. But now that there are no 'gimme' spells anymore, it is particularly devastating.

Just not having Storm Dash alone is a pain, but having no actual way to attack enemies unless there are other people on the server and they're willing to give you a hand-me-down or let you join on a mission? Yeah, this can be quite a game breaker.

There may be a possible link as well, as I noticed that my chat key was not working... (See ticket: 0008749)

I wasn't able to reproduce this in my own MP tests. Does it happen every time you create a new account on a server, regularly, rarely, only that once, or what?

Thanks :)

Possibly it was fixed by this?

* Fixed a longstanding bug where dropping multiple items into a bag in MP and then picking it back up (without having left and reentered the chunk first) appeared to only give you back the first item dropped to create the bag. In fact the server gave you back all the items but it didn't look like that and your inventory would thus be out of sync with the server until you disconnected/reconnected.

It's a bit hard to test regularity when actually being able to play AVWW is so sporadic.

Be it because a server with the wrong version, a server without the correct ports open, or some other barring condition.

That being said, its happened at least a handful of times (5-6)when creating an account. I'd recommend, if you haven't already, try making accounts by the dozen in both high and low lag situations.

Just had it happen again on a 1.2 server... And the chat key was unresponsive.

...Maybe a safe bet to say the issues are related?

This happens on my current 1.2 server. I just bought the game from the Steam Sale and am running my own server, so it's a fresh 1.2 server. Maybe older, upgraded servers have some flag that new servers do not? I thought this was intentional until I read this bug.

7 friends play on my server. 2 of them started when I did, while 5 came later. All 5 had the same experience where they needed to run through the first part of the game to gain an attack spell and Storm Dash (they also don't start at the settlement, if they're suppose to).
