Bug Description:
Currently, it is possible for players to accidentally delete the wrong characters on the menu. If the player tries to delete a character whilst having a different one selected/active on the main menu, the selected character will be deleted

This bug is extremely easy to reproduce

Repro Steps:

  • Have two characters
  • Left click character 1 on the main menu
  • Mouse over character 2 (do not left click it)
  • Press delete whilst moused over character 2
  • Prompt will ask if you want to delete character 2 - Note that character 1 is shown in the background
  • Confirm the delete. character 1 will now be gone, character 2 will remain

Bump, it seems to just delete the top most character despite the selection.

This has just happened to me this very moment. You can have the intended character selected, but the game allows you to mistakenly swap characters and it’ll delete the one currently shown in the background area, not the one whose name is appearing in the character deletion screen.

As I logged out of the game tonight I thought I’d delete my first character that was only level 10 or so. I had unplugged my controller already and was using mouse and keyboard, and went to delete them, the prompt popped up and asked me if I was sure I wanted to delete the character, and showing the name of the character that I in fact did want to delete.

Now my main character that had ~15 hours on it is gone. If the file is gone with no way to recover, oh well, life goes on, but if there is a way to fix it I’d be really grateful for any help!

Thank you.
