Hi @CCP_Dopamine I have recognized a couple of disturbing database issues lately: - Not able to search for certain names, e.g. Kinakka (bug report filed weeks ago) - Yesterday I was permission denied searching in my own ACL for 30min or so until it started working again - Also I was not able to move a player character into my ACL (others no issue). Apparently it was already in the list but not shown - plus the ACL log showed weird things, people I never moved in, and others in there not shown - Lots of chars donā€™t show portrait images in local/fleet, but show when clicked, and not show again when clicking ā€œfull bodyā€ Clearing cache and restart doesnā€™t help. It even made the character portrait thing worse. ---

I confirm that this issue exists . There are multiple system names that if you type them in New Eden Search tool , you get no results . I have made a bug report about two months ago about this. ---

> [@Telaila\_Endashi](#): > > I have one account that drops out all the time, and one the never drops out. Happens even while I am playing them at the same time. All 3 of mine usually get socket disconnects at the same time, but occasionally itā€™s just 1 or 2 of them. With me, all 3 are vulnerable, tho. Consider yourself lucky to have some degree of predictability to yours. šŸ˜‰ I did have a fleetmate once who had a similar issue to yours where one of his would drop more than the others, tho. > [@Excempt](#): > > had the portrait thing for a while, thought it was done to improve performance. about 1/2 of my local pilots had no picture Thereā€™s been talk in the past few weeks that the portrait creation tool in the NPE was broken? So thereā€™s tons of people without portraits right now? Itā€™s a known issue and I think theyā€™ve said theyā€™re working on it. But Iā€™m not sure if it affected older player portraits or not. All of mine havenā€™t been changed since birth, birth, and character purchase, (2013, 2014, 2015) soā€¦ I havenā€™t noticed it happening with my own as viewed from the others. ---
