Character Name: Tenkai Bushinji
Key: Tenkai Bushinji

Having the same problem as these folks, my character won't load at all.

HAHAHAH SUCKERS

I'm also bugged. My character won't load either.

Character Name: Kevv
Key:Kwf

Here's an image of my character list.

Key:AzureRain

Char: Rain the Pornstar

Is this being worked on, or is it being ignored?

Yes, but there are many factors to why this didn't used to happen, but is happening now.

1. Crashes that we've had recently
2. Skill/Item loss prevention system I added
3. Rollbacks
4. Sav File

Has this character load bug happened since we switched servers? If it has I need to take out #2 which will cause players to lose skills/items again, but still better than a corrupted file.

@Rioshima hows your Bleach game going 

Having a 3 save system isn't really stealing. Glad to see your still lurking and hating from a distance.
Still trying to fix this, the issue appeared almost out of nowhere though. I think they changed something along with new pager

Prepare for the next wipe, create a whole new save system or something loll.

Maybe it has alot of useless/no longer exist atoms trying to be loaded.
Storing overlays in savefile ?
I am not sure about 3rd option, rollbacks doesn't seem like a problem for this...
A bit offtopic but..
This might not be the best solution but can be good to restore previous savefiles, in your Save system you could backup the save files and this can be easily accomplished with fcopy and here's a small snippet:

Code:

  var/InitialLetter = copytext(ckey(src.key), 1, 2)
  var/SaveFolder = "Savefiles/[InitialLetter]/[ckey(src.key)].sav" // Make a folder for players save files starting with initial
  var/savefile/F = new(SaveFolder)
  fcopy(F, "SavefilesBackup/[InitialLetter]/[ckey(src.key)].sav") // Copy savefiles to a separated folder



And character should be saved whenever it levels, reboot for every mob that is client, player logout, autosave (In my experience I never lagged because of it unless savefiles are huge.)
As last source I can think of, is having a 2nd game server only to store savefiles as backup, using fcopy and world.Export() it can easily accomplished.

 This is exactly the explanation i was trying to tell Crit. it loads.... loads a invalid file,
next read it copies over or becomes invalid untouched data, in a script with a ghost script both the main/ and ghost scripts will not be carried or read therefore causing an error like the above ^. TYVM finally someone made a screenshot of the most current error +1 Laeki, Hurry crit get that fucking bug so we all can be at peace again lol. ( hurry b4 rhyuke deletes my thought on it like he normally does <.< that bum) XD

its weird though since its only that character. laeki and nindril are fine yet they were made after akajia. plus i had laeki's name changed.

when have i ever deleted someones post?

So, you are telling it will ovewrite data ? 
If so, what I normally do in my save system before saving is deleting the savefile if it EXISTS, then it can be saved with new data.

well ive decided to change keys since i got rolled back twice when remaking my hollow...so ill be crazyltcadet and character name will be Laeki

Good/bad news. I found out the reason why the saves were getting corrupted, but after I fix it there may be slightly more lag. Update coming tomorrow

May I know the reason, please ? If you don't mind telling, so whoever is developer here, avoid it.

Basically characters, both npc and players, are classified under /mobs. A subshini would be classified under /mob/subshini and so on. Before this major bug started happening players were under /mob so when I tried to find players I would do something like:

for(var/mob/M in world)
 if(M.client)//that means if they have dreamseeker open

The problem with this is that the game would search every character(both npc and players), and theres 1,000+ mobs in the game so it would lag trying to check each and everyone to see if they have a client.

So I made a new subsection /mob/player so it would be easier.

for(var/mob/player/M in world)

With ^ that it would only check the 50 or so players online so it would lag less. This created a problem with saves though. Since saving mobs are default under /mob and not /mob/player it would bug out sometimes. I don't know why, but I know that much at least so I'm taking out /mob/player and leaving it as /mob

well my character got bugged yet again -sighs- seems like it might have something to do with my key and i have no idea wat to do really.

Quit the game and don't come back.

I neither use for(var/mob/Player/M in world) as reference or just -> for(var/client/C) and then for example to save I would do C.mob.Save()
