Rube keeps walking while making offers, screen follows.

I just talked to the Rube and after going through a few offers he started to walk away. I pressed the arrow keys to follow him but couldn't move, then noticed my screen was moving with him (the offer dialogue still in the middle), I continued to go through offers as he went to the edge of the screen, then back and his dialogue greyed out a little when he passed me, the option I'd pressed had a little loading wheel. He kept walking an then vanished, the offer dialogue stuck in loading (so I couldn't press anything) stayed at the edge of the screen and I was still unable to move. Had to close and restart the tab.

This makes me wonder if there is a limit to the number of offers you can go through with the Rube?

I also noticed that if your inventory is full he doesn't want to talk to you. Had this happen once and someone else talked to him instead before I could clear a space (I'd really prefer it if he talked to you anyway so you could drop/consume an item while he was making offers, and if you still didn't have room he could drop the traded item on the ground).

  • I had this bug too.

    My inventory was not full.

  • I just saw him again. Didn't hear the music, but I saw him there, talked to him and he started offering. I accepted something and he just vanished without exchanging anything... That makes three times I've missed out on Rube deals now D:

    Edit: Finally! This time when I spotted him I accepted his 3rd or 4th offer that seemed decent because I was afraid that he'd end up disappearing or walking off like the previous times. And I got something, yay!

  • Twice the Rube walked away slowly during negotiating, once he went so far that I lost contact.

  • That's interesting snarkle. With me he went far enough away that I would have lost contact... But my screen was following him with the dialogue box, and had left me waay behind (since I couldn't move).

  • Sunburst, same thing for me. Kept walking and my screen followed. I hit 'accept trade' like three times and nothing happened.

  • The beginning of this happened to me too. He walked away, my screen followed him, but my glitch couldn't follow.

    I accepted an offer quickly since I was afraid he'd disappear or something else buggy, and I guess that was a good thing.

  • I had this happen last time too but I have noticed if the Rube comes looking for someone else he will often let you trade with him after he has done looking for, or trading with, that player.  He had not actually come looking for me when this happened to me and perhaps that was why the trade didn't work properly.

  • Also he has started giving the wrong items. He offered me one thing and gave me a focusing orb instead.
