Losing macro pages

[Cyrille]

It seems my macro books aren't as strong as they used to be. I am, during play, losing complete pages. It seems to happen randomly (not able to reproduce consistently). Only complete pages are lost (Specific example: macros on #1 of book 8, both ALT and CTRL). Only 1 page at a time (I had lost #1 and a short while after, I had lost #10).

Steps:
I access my macros/menus using a controller (PS3 controller) on my PC.

During battle I'm just using my macros, switching back and forth to browser and IM (windowed mode). Then suddenly when trying to use macros, a complete page is missing. I am not aware of any pattern in my actions that leads to this issue. Restoring my macros from the server works just fine. The issue appeared a few times in a row (even after making some macros, the new macros disappeared). I also had some amount of time when the issue did not appear.

Just now, all I did was selecting macro page (not during battle), canceled selection, opened main menu, closed main menu (didn't do a thing), selected macro page, macros gone.

I've talked to a GM already. He suggested me to do a file check for PlayOnline and FF. PlayOnline was fine. For FF it found about 600 errors. These were fixed and I did another check to make sure. No errors were reported. Issues I had with some furniture not being visible were resolved (yay). However, I still experienced the macro issue.

I did not experience this issue before yesterday's emergency maintenance.

You can imagine that this issue might involve the deaths of friends when I would experience it when playing White Mage.



I am sorry I can not provide more information in order to consistenly reproduce the issue. Maybe other players have experienced the same. I hope that this can be resolved.
