This looks like either there's a server query issue - not likely if only one character is affected..

..or, you sent info to the client and it didn't like it and is sending a 'status' packet back that, coincidentally, changed your bind point(s).


Try deleting that bind point entry and see if it corrects itself. (Maybe delete them all for that character..pretty sure there's a default that's set if
no info is found.)


EDIT:

Actually, that looks like the data is being parsed out-of-order.

Those big numbers are probably the float entries - x, y, z and heading - converted to integer.

I think out of order. would that be in the source sending the request to write to the database?

Also, in the character_bind table - any idea what the instance_id is for?

Today I moved over the bots to the copied but seemingly unaffected version of my character (it's on a separate account, this appears to be an account issue since another character on that same account also has the same problem).

Spent a number of hours hitting various raid targets and going to affected zones, and used origin (which takes me to Gfay and pretty much guaranteed a desync previously) at least four times. No issues whatsoever. I'm not exactly going to declare this solved just yet, but it's looking that way.

Now if only I had any idea what caused it. Maybe the account was somehow corrupted? The character and bot data seem to be fine (edit: with the exception of bots not zoning and occasionally getting stuck in bot groups, but that seems to be a separate issue and only showed up recently after an update.)
