View Full Version : "That is still recharging"

Ever since updating two days ago, I have been seeing problems with using items more than once. It started with food and water type items - the first time I use something it is fine, but the next time I am told "that item is still recharging" or some such message telling me that I can't use the item yet, but the item gets used anyway. (There is no cooldown on food or water, so I don't know why I am getting this message.) If I use some different type of water, then there is no error (For example, if I drink Enchanted Water once, there is no error. If I drink it again, I am told that it's not ready yet, but my char still drinks it. If I drink some other form of liquid, there is no error, and then going back to Enchanted Water will not give an error, unless I try to use any of them a second time.)

I noticed that clicking on my hearthstone gave me the loud "clack" noise, as if I had clicked on it twice. Again. it still allowed me to use it.

However, I'm currently doing a quest in Searing Gorge that has me collecting things according to what is written in a journal. I was able to read the journal the first time, but now I am not able to read the journal anymore. The game thinks it's already in use, and just "clacks" at me.

At first, this was just with a single character, but now it's happening on two characters on two different servers. First thing I did was delete the WTF files, but that did not help.


Edit - after some experimenting, it looks like right-clicks are now being duplicated. If I drag food to a toolbar and left-click it, I get no error message, but right-clicking it gives me the error. Something in the last update somehow enabled a double-right-click feature, and I can't find anything in the interface to turn it off.

I get loud "clack" noises when clicking weapons in my inventory. I haven't been able to figure out why yet, but so far I have no problems using food/drink items or charges.

the loudness in and of itself is a blizzard problem. many sound effects are from the camera/character point of view, and therefore faint..such as jokes...but listen to a few clearly spoken jokes, then wander by the Kodo Graveyard....

yeah, blizzard's handling of the sound effects blows. the clacks are way louder than voices, etc.

Only Gatherer, which I have been using longer than I have had Cosmos installed. (And today I noticed that Gatherer got updated by Cosmos. Neat, Gatherer is now part of Cosmos?)

A few nights ago, I deleted the WTF folder for one of my characters, but this did not fix it. Today, I renamed my Interfaces folder, downloaded the 1.7 version of Cosmos, then copied Gatherer back over. I then let it update itself (since the game was still complaining about outdated addons.) I just logged in under my Hunter, who had the problem with the journal that wouldn't open, and the right-click issue appears to be gone. This leads me to believe that the problem was not with Cosmos itself (especially since there were no other postings on it) nor a configuration problem, but somehow the files through various updates got confused. Starting over fresh cleared it up.

it's really weird if you have surround speakers. Sumnmon your mount and then start moving before the sound fades... it disappears behind you.
