Missing Bounty Vouchers: Is there a workaround?

Mike Ross

M
I've killed about a dozen wanted players/NPCs, some with bounties upwards of 30k. Each time I get the confirmation text in the top right corner but the vouchers almost never appear.

So far I've been able to claim ~3k in bounties when the total must be closer to 80k

Is there a fix, a workaround, a particular place/area that I should avoid to minimise the chance of this happening?

If you lose your ship before cashing in the vouchers then you lose the vouchers.

If you have not lost your ship and are still missing vouchers then you should ticket it.

The bounty that is displayed when you kill the target is a sum of all available bounties on that ship.

However the bounty(ies) may not be collectable in the current system (as the bounty may have been created elsewhere). If you check your missions menu you should be able to see where you can collect your bounties.

If they aren't appearing then it must be a bug.

The ship hasn't been lost. I initially noticed when I went to a station to claim my bounty but there was no option to do so. Then I checked in my console and there were no bounties listed. Since then I've been checking the console after each kill and they hardly ever show up. I thought my checking might be the issue so I logged out/back in after collecting a bounty but before checking it. Still no luck.

I've looked through the forums and a few people have reported the issue. I'm specifically asking if there are situations that should be avoided to decrease the likelihood of it happening.

Try others stations in the system you made the kills. It's faction related, so try to dock in all factions possible in the system

Yep I am aware of this and know a workaround. Pause after each kill. Open left console. Scroll across right through all of the headings, pausing on 'transactions', and just keep doing it. It will then pop up. There is a often a delay between the 'on-screen' kill notification and it being logged in your ship's transactions. Hope that helps. You will see it increase every time if you use this method.

I don't think that's the problem. It's not simply that the collected bounties are lower than the displayed bounty, it's that there is no bounty at all. They aren't available to claim in stations and they don't appear in the console on my ship.

If they aren't in your console then yes it sounds like a bug. You should ticket it if you can.

same here with me ... shot a npc with 545 cr bounty voucher (showed under "transactions" in shipmenue - then went to the right station from the right faction and guess what? no vouchers to trade against cash ... so its NOT faction related its a very big issue only ...

Lost a couple hundred thousand today to this bug (bunch of sidewinder and cobra bounties as well as a 88k+ bounty from an anaconda).

Will try the work around posted tomorrow thanks, but hope to see this get fixed soon.
