Was just idling on the kanto wanderer route, nothing unusual showed up in the logs and I didn't actually see when it showed up. I had hatchers running, so it could've been either a glitch catching an event mon or a glitch with hatching, all other mons were resistant.

it's from editing your save file

latent island
#

I've never edited my save file

#

it showed up while the game was running

wanton jungle
#

oh hmm, my bad. I saw Kanto and billions of DT, didn't register that you're up to Galar

latent island
#

it could be related to the other bug I reported, maybe all of these exceptions caused a bug writing the save

vernal orchid
#

i loaded your save and it isn't there

wanton jungle
#

Sort by pokemon ID, it's there

latent island
#

also shows up on level sort, and in the pokedex search. breed search it kind of did? it showed a weird tile with white image, had the purify and shiny markers but you couldn't actually breed it. but now that's not showing up anymore

vernal orchid
#

ah i was on the Dev branch from beta testing, it goes away on that one

wanton jungle
#

Yeah dev has a function to check for, and remove, missingno whenever you import a save from a previous version

latent island
#

I checked the console and did see the usual exception from knockout-js, nothing else

#

oh, but I had already refreshed the page when I checked... dang...

wanton jungle
#

Someone who's better than me at reading the decoded save file will have to take a look

latent island
#

doesn't really seem to be affecting the game right now anyways

pine coral
#

can hatcher could set a bad eggs ?

latent island
#

that would be my guess, because the clones are pretty rare to show up and I didn't hear the sound

#

actually could've been either. noticed it 5 minutes or so after last roamer was found

pine coral
#

which hatcher helper do you have ?

latent island
#

the two diamond ones

pine coral
#

ok

vernal orchid
#

its index is 0 right, so 115 encoutners?

latent island
#

yeesh. idk how, it was only there for a few minutes. although encounter is not the same as catch

#

I have like... every save since I reset my computer, lemme see...

vernal orchid
#

nah mine has 12 somehow

latent island
#

yeah, it was 82 encounters back on June 10th

#

this is just the first time I've managed to catch it >.>

brazen scroll
#

Wtf, it's Deoxys (Attack) ?

#

Or you lost it while ago and never noticed ?

latent island
#

I probably would not notice if I did

brazen scroll
#

Odd, that Deoxys (Attack) bug is like 3 years old, you should not be having that MissingNo. now. Yet it has 3 hatches worth of attack bonus, just what Deoxys (Attack) should have.

latent island
#

deoxys (attack) also does not show up in pokedex search

brazen scroll
#

Yeah, it's the only Pokémon you caught but don't have in your party.

latent island
#

considering the missingno just showed up, I'm guessing it very recently moved into my breeding pool because I've had it filtered by best breeding efficiency not shiny

brazen scroll
#

Thing is, the latest update should have removed your MissingNo. if you had it before, lol.

latent island
#

I didn't, it just showed up today

#

breeding deoxys would've been pretty rare for me

brazen scroll
#

Which is also weird because the bug turning Deoxys into MissingNo. is from an update in late 2022, and can't be triggered anymore. MegaThonk

latent island
#

and I didn't even start playing until sometime this year

brazen scroll
#

Anyway, I'm turning your MNo. back into Deoxys. Do you want me to update the file you sent earlier or a more recent one ?

latent island
#

i'll send one

thanks

brazen scroll
#

You're welcome. PES_ThumbsUp

latent island
#

the deoxii are all near the bottom of the breeding list so actually idk how it would've happened

latent island
#

guess who's back... not deoxys this time...

#

I assume anyways, has 70 attack at level 100 this time

Deoxys Attack is the culprit? You're breeding it right?

#

Im also breeding Deoxys Attack and not getting missing no.

latent island
#

deoxys (attack) was the missingno in first appearance, but was not being bred, I have no idea why it happened

#

this one appears to be a different mon since missingno has higher attack

shrewd anvil
#

Can you check what pokemon it is?

latent island
#

will try to figure it out...

shrewd anvil
#

Might be able to use (uncaught) filter

#

Or companion

#

Not sure

latent island
#

cradily

shrewd anvil
#

Uh

#

Unless thats another known missing no. Mon thats super weird

latent island
#

more odd, this time there's not even an exception from knockout in the console. no exceptions at all

brazen scroll
#

Now that's very odd...
And given no one mentioned having this is before, it's probably something you do.

#

So, I'm going to ask for sure : no scripts, no code injections, no shenaningans ? Are you auto clicking way too fast for the game to handle things smoothly ?

latent island
#

no shenanigans. not even using autoclicks (when it happens)

#

like I said I have the pretty common game freezes, enemy health hits 0 and next enemy doesn't spawn, which may or may not be fixed by switching to another route. sometimes that causes the idle attack to stop working while clicks still do. If it happened due to an egg spawn issue, I just have to keep retrying until the egg successfully spawns and then it will move along... tends to avoid the issue if I'm not actively on the tab

#

whatever is causing those issues is probably intermittently causing this, although it didn't show up until after the recent update

#

people in chat said it might be a processor issue with intel, although this is a fairly recent laptop with a cpu that's not /supposed/ to be affected. seems to have issues with more than one but not all idle games so it's plausible

pine coral
#

it's the desktop client ?

latent island
#

no, browser

#

desktop client white screens constantly so I can't use it, but I got into it once to get the chansey and brought the save back

#

the issues above happen on all browsers, although the page just completely crashes more often on anything but firefox

#

didn't start happening until after I'd gotten to galar, so idk. probably something to do with high memory/processing happening after a certain point in the game

latent island
#

if you give me an idea of what all needs to change in the save file to fix the issue, I can write a script to restore it

brazen scroll
#

You'd need to replace the id of MNo. in your party from 0 to that of the Pokémon it replaced.

latent island
#

sounds simple enough. base decode, regex replace, base encode

brazen scroll
#

Do whatever you want. Although that means you might not get any help anymore on a bug as if it's not caused by the obscure issues you're already having, it will likely be because of the game modifications you will do.

latent island
#

not modifying the game, just writing a script to fix the Mno in the save instead of having to ask you to do it

#
                    "0": 175,
                    "2": {
                        "0": 0,
                        "1": 0,
                        "2": 0
                    },
                    "3": 1061991,
                    "8": 3,
                    "9": 50600,
                    "id": 0
                },```
#

so it's just replacing that 0 there with whatever cradily's is?

brazen scroll
latent island
#

ok... well anyways I wrote a script to apply the fix

#

I have a feeling it's probably going to reoccur at least daily. what happens if a 2nd missing no appears?

brazen scroll
#

If it's from hatching, you'll lose a Pokémon for good as the second will count as a hatch of the first; if it's corruption, you'll have two MNo. in your party.

#

Anyway, I don't think we should discuss that any further.

latent island
#

:/

#

so I have to fix it fast or else

#

probably

latent island
#

weird. missingno just came back but I don't see anyone missing in the uncaught pokedex besides the 4 galar fossils I'm too lazy to go pick up

brazen scroll
#

Alt forms that are not regional forms either won't show up in the Pokédex if you don't own them. So you likely miss one of them.

latent island
#

hmmm

#

well so far a 2nd missingno hasn't shown up, haven't attempted to figure out which form it could be...

#

I put breakpoints in to catch it trying to save a pokemon with 0 id/no id so maybe I can track it down if it does happen

latent island
#

ah, it's star mint alcremie...

barren obsidian
# latent island

It looks like the error there is happening when a helper is comparing pokemon to decide which to hatch next. Next time this happens, can you check what settings your helpers are using?

#

Not clear to me though whether this is what’s creating the Missingnos or is caused by them

#

If you want to track down where this is happening, I’d suggest creating a category of a few pokemon that wouldn’t be disastrous to potentially missingno-ify and setting your hatchery helpers to target those

#

Then set your hatch filters to avoid those species and otherwise make absolutely sure you’re not catching more of them outside the hatchery helpers

latent island
#

I don't think it's the pokemon being bred causing the issue, I have all helpers on best breeding efficiency not shiny, so the ones that went to missingno definitely weren't high on the list

#

I think there's a computational issue with the processor that might be causing it to pick a seemingly random one to hatch, and that causes the id mismatch later in the process that makes it set to 0 id... Theory anyways. I've had it running with breakpoints on save if the id is zero and missingno hasn't come back yet

#

Knockout code is minified and obscure so I don't know exactly what it is that's undefined, but it's in the get on observable breeding efficiency

barren obsidian
#

If you want to track down the exact point of failure, you can compare the minified code to the non-minified knockout source code. I’ve done this a few times when optimizing parts of the game’s UI.

#

Knowing the exact error may not help much if it’s a processor issue, though.

latent island
#

I don't know. it's surprisingly consistent in the ways that it fails.

steep grove
#

My guess is the missingno and helper issues are due to the tinkering with knockout from your other bug report for the crashes. As for the crashes, at this point I think it's a hardware issue. I'd recommend running a cpu stress test using prime95 for at least an hour, but overnight would be better, followed by a memory test with memtest86.

I believe you said you got the laptop in october? So it should still be under warranty, in that case RMAing it would be your best bet

latent island
#

I didn't mess with anything save or code wise prior to this issue, and the only thing changed in the save is reverting the bug. Given that missingno hasn't come back yet despite running the game for so long, I think it was actually related to the event mons.

#

I have run a prime95 stress test and there were no issues, along with full ram tests, no issues... which is why I'm hoping there's some other reason, working with support from the manufacturer right now...

latent island
#

sadly, missingno came back, and more sadly, my script override to catch it in a breakpoint was reset... but I did confirm that it's just some random corruption happening to the save, because I was hatching from psychic type only while fighting blue for a quest, and pumpkaboo (average) was the missingno

latent island
#

Missingno came back today, but I got 2 at the same time. One was absol, one was mega glalie, and I know exactly when it happened. I was on one of elite 4 type places because I'd just bought a bunch of vitamins, and I was in the item menu allocating vitamins to a bunch of mons. absol and mega glalie were not one of the mons I actually changed vitamins on, because I'd put them to max long ago. The tab crashed a couple of times while I was doing this, but one of the times it crashed, those two had their ids set to 0

#

so no hatching, no fighting, no nothing. just the tab crashing and causing corrupted save, which is probably how the others were caused
