Non-Combat/Combat Pets Die Uncontrollably and Display Screen Chaos

I been waiting for a fix on this bug since the last patch, being that all was normal prior to that patch. This issue at hand are as follows:

Issue 1:
When signing into a toon the display screen will always have a few more trays open than normal and they will be moved around on my screen. I would have to re-set them in their proper positions and delete the ones I don't need. All would be normal until would sign out and then sign back on again. Sometimes, things would be okay when I sign into a toon but when entering a mission my trays would be moved around again.

Issue 2:
Sometimes when signing in at the launch screen I will get an "Error Code 36" that mentions something about a patch. When I contacted support, they advised to right click at start-up to run a fix on one of the drop down options given. I did so but still having issues. Sometimes when signing in I will get the pop-up box that says cannot sign in and will give the options of "Force Start" , "Cancel" or Abort Sign On or something to that nature. If I force start I can still log on but still get the same errors as described in this post.

Issue 3:
When logged in with a toon and when I activate combat pets such as: Light Fairy, Dark Fairy, Blue Wisp, Red Wisp, Shield Oscillator, Power Oscillator, Shield Drone or Power Drone and then try to activate a non-combat pet or vanity pets as some call them such as the Demon Pet, Clockwork Pet, Red Cap Pet, Rikti Monkey Pet etc,...my combat pet will disappear. Now, if I try to activate my Vanguard Pet my Demon Pet or other in this category will die. Prior to this last patch, I would have all three running at the same time, Shield Drone Pet, Demon Pet and my Vanguard Pet. To be honest, I really don't care much to even run the vanity pets as long at I can have my combat pets active.

This weekend, I have been conversing with support and they said they had to escalate it to another group that might be able to assist. Has anyone else out there had similar issues on this since the last patch?

for issue 3, this was an intended change that was (and still can be commented on) in the beta forums

By any chance are you on a Mac puter? Looks like it is a file copy problem.

Nope, PC. And note to Necrotech_Master, issue one has NOT been resolved since last update Nov. 15. I am still getting my Target Tray (which I never use) open on my toons when I sign in and I always have to turn it off in the options menu. On the issue with not being able to run my Shield Drone Combat pet with my German Shepard or other non-combat vanity pets, I cannot find an answer to why one will disable when the other is active. Or if I want to run two vanity pets at the same time such as my Vanguard Bot Pet and a Demon Pet for example, one will die leaving me with only one vanity pet left. It really does not make any sense for me to run a vanity pet and not to be able to run a combat pet such as a Fairy, Wisp or Shield Drone when a week ago I could? I am still waiting for an answer from support on why this is happening? If anyone out there can give me a more defined answer on this, please do so.

The vanity/temp pets can only be used one at a time.

Pets
The following list of pets have been turned into mutually exclusive toggles. This means that you may only have one of these pets out at any given time. Going forward, vanity pets will all fall into this category.
Rikti Pet
Demon Pet
Mekman Pet
Redcap Pet
Clockwork Pet
German Shepherd Pet
Light Fairy Pet
Dark Fairy Pet
Blue Wisp Pet
Red Wisp Pet
Shield Oscillator Pet
Power Oscillator Pet
Shield Drone Pet
Power Drone Pet
Cherub Pet
Mini SnowBeast Pet
Vanguard MVAS

Thanks for that . Yeah, I just got an email from support advising me the same thing. I guess the thing I want to know is the reasoning behind this? Me thinks it was because more people had access to vanity pets or combat pets and having them all on at the same time can get cluttered especially in team missions. So, with that being said, I just picked-up my German Shepard dog. He's cute and lovable. Just wish I could name him.

so far since the patch ive not had my windows messed up, but the UI color reset problem seems to have gotten worse

prior to patch my toons created prior to i21 would have the color i normally have for windows, but that no longer seems to be the case now, its resetting regardless of the toon to the gaudy blue or red (I like my black windows lol)
