Elite: Dangerous - Bug discussion

[Corrin Avatan]

Trying to find SOME way of legitimate combat.... Good grief. Every time I "bounty hunt" (the one advertized way of fighting without becoming an outlaw) the cops attack me. So I go where there are no cops. Except there are cops. Lots of them. Everywhere. I went to an "unexplored" deep space anarchy resource extraction site. Full of npcs (not sure how exploration actually means anything). A pirate scanned me so I attacked him after scanning him with my bounty scanner. All of a sudden, system authority vessel is attacking me too. This happens everywhere I go. Because it's anarchy, I can kill the system authority without getting a fine. But if they scan me and I have stolen goods (picked up from legitimate bounties) then I get a fine. Sigh.

I'm not really sure this is a bug, so much as the game having poorly-executed systems.

If you have any loot that you did not purchase from a market, you are considered to be carrying contraband.

What you are expecting is "anything I find floating in space, or dropped by a Pirate, is mine."

However, the game treats it as "if you did not pay for it, you are carrying smuggled goods and can be attacked."

It's really, really stupid. I literally do not pick up ANYTHING floating in space, because it's more hassle than it is worth.

Galaxy Map shows stored ship in wrong location.

My Galaxy Map shows my stored Cobra in BD-22 3573. However, when I go to System View, none of the starports show my ship. If I go to "stored ship locations," each station tells me it is in BD-3223

That is because it's not there. It's in Bugayaman, Asprin Orbital.

This has been displaying incorrectly since 1.03. Keeps showing wrong even after multiple swaps between by Lakon 6 and the Cobra.

Not sure if this has been posted, but quite often when docking, the image of my ship and the beeping noise to help docking doesn't come on. I got killed by Gidzenko ring because of this just now which is really annoying.

New bug for 1.04 seems to be bountys not showing up in transaction tab. Need to do a bit more testing but these were all via k-warrant scanner at anarchy systems.

Oh yeah and the galaxy map is still borked. Assuming this is a known issue so not worth ticketing again?

The stolen goods thing might be just a stupid implementation. But it's seperate from the issue of being attacked for bounty hunting no matter where I go. I think in that screenshot my cargo hold was actually empty, and I attacked somebody who was pirating me, according to his dialog. I scanned him, and I shot first, but it was anarchy, so why are there cops patrolling anarchy? I can't find a good way to fight. Even if I help out the cops by shooting their targets, they turn on me. I read that anarchy systems were better places to go if you wanted to not be attacked and fined for combat.

I don't know if this is a bug but today every time I dock at a station I'm getting a 1% ship integrity repair bill (at about 1020 credits)... now I'm not being shot at, scanned or even talking to anyone yet I'm shelling out a 1020 (ish) credits every time I leave a dock- I swear Im not even going that far, one time I left, realised I forgot to pick up a cargo that I was planning on taking with and came back within a minute to find... 1% ship integrity damage! Is that right? because to me that Mother Fudging Horse Frack!

As of today, the game crashes for me frequently when viewing either System Map or Galaxy Map or entering Hyperspace, generally crashing my graphics. Didn't happen before as I'd reduced my graphics back to Windows Basic from Widows Aero to account for my internal graphics.

 

[Demonic Squid]

I just got a loitering fine of 400CR for being docked...

I was literally just sitting in the hangar after having docked and my info flashes up that I had received a 400CR fine for loitering. Eh? I'd been docked for about 15 minutes, as I'd been fiddling with outfitting...

There's not actually any rational explanation for this at all...

 

[Kyrth]

So I got tired of bounties escaping, so I equipped a wake scanner... there was nothing on the other end of the jump. Nothing at all.

Bounty Bug

This fun little bug has happened one too many times. So far it's only been against Anacondas with $60,000+ bounties. The problem would be me spending a good 10+ mins to kill them and have it say "you've been rewarded (said amount) for killing (said person)." Just to have the bounty never get added to the claims section under transactions. As a bounty hunter/cargo confiscator this is very discouraging to see 3 bounties worth $100k each never be added to claims even though I was told I had earned them. Right now i have figured out that anything above $60k doesn't count.

 

[Zieman]

I just witnessed the untimely demise of three innocent NPCs. The station destroyed them because their "leave station" timer timed out. And that happened because another NPC was blocking the station exit, being stuck inside the "cowcatcher".​

I would have been shot too, if I hadn't pushed past.

Shouldn't the entrance blocker be the one that gets destroyed, not innocent bystanders who couldn't get out because the only way out was blocked?

Docked at Jameson Memorial with 974,754 credits
When I try and purchase a type-6 without trading in my existing ship I hit confirm and it returns to the starship services page with no transaction occurring.
I can buy and resell a Viper with no issues.

TICKET #00000003460

I have had some major bugs over the last few days at Jameson Memorial with purchasing ships and also with the Landing Pad Guide.

The first bug is the Landing Pad Guide does not appear when attempting to land, as such I am unable to land and have to depart the station and ask permission to land again. This I did four time before the Landing Pad Guide appeared and allowed me to land. I have supplied a ticket, T/No: 24486

The second bug is losing millions of credits when purchasing a ship, I recently upgraded from a Python to a Type 9, I should have had just under 10,000,000 credits left after the transaction, I was left with only just over 1,900,000 credits, a loss of around 8,000,000 credits. As this did not leave me with enough credits to play the game (need insurance money, money to purchase stock and upgrades) I decided to revert back to the Python. During this transaction the game crashed, when I logged back in I had lost another 5,600,000 credits. Should have had just over 19,000,000 credits but only had just over 14,000,000 credits. These loss amounts are all after the 10% loss when selling (trading in) a ship. In all, due to both of these bugs I have lost almost 20,000,000 credits in the past few days and all this has happened at Jameson Memorial Station. The ticket numbers for both of these issues and the crash report are: 25412, 25434 and 25442. I would really like to get these credits back please as this is a huge amount of credits that has taken me many many hours to get.

Worked out where all the credits went, as an Alpha Backer we should get a 10% discount (just found out about this) at Founders World (Jameson Memorial), the game is showing the price with the 10% discount but when the transaction goes through I have been charged the full price. So be careful if you purchase a ship from Jameson Memorial and are entitled to the discount, the amounts shown may not be what you get charged. Just purchased a Viper to check this, and sure enough the price showing in the station was 128,638 credits but was charged 142,931 credits. Same with the Type 9 and the Python.

Devs, can you pleae sort this out ASAP and refund the credits I lost to my account. Still waiting on replys to tickets I lodged weeks ago. Keep up the great work.

Hyperdrive is stuck? I don't know if anyone else if having this issue, but I've been in hyperdrive for about 10 mins while jumping from Zeesze System to V338 Cassiopiae (sorry for mis-spells, the navigation panel moves a lot in hyperdrive). Is anyone else experiencing long Hyperdrive times or occasional lock-ups? My internet is working fine as I'm using it to type this forum post. I may have to disconnect my computer from the internet to see if this stops the jump. Any suggestions?

Sometimes the transaction page is slow to update (swap to another tab, eg navigation, swap back to transactions and wait a few seconds), but I've had numerous bounties go missing, and it seems to have increased since 1.04. Most of mine are smaller bounties (1-10k range), but I've had the odd 30k or 60k go missing.

Bounty Hunting is a slow enough income source as it is, we don't need the game stealing our bounties on top of this.

Was the wake selected in your hud when jumped?

 

[Gunny Red]

6 times cince the new pathc it says i got the bounty but when i get to statiion to redeem it thers noting... frustrating...
then i accidently beamd a fedral ship and got 200 bounty.. okay normal i tink, then heading to a station i get scaned before i manage to get inside the guns in station starts fiering at me.... i manage to land whit 30 % healt... then pay off bounty repair the ship (cobra mk3) then i press lunch and die almost instantly

so far i have loss 400k ingame currency just over bugs.:S

check the 2nd tab in the left-hand panel. (transactions) there should be an area that says "claims". under this it should say where the bounty is claimable. (i.e. federation, empire, etc.)

I just had an odd issue. During a long trip ~100ly I was stopping at a few stations along the way. Well about ~70ly in to the trip when I left one of the stations all of a sudden my emergency life support kicks in and it is telling me that there is not enough power to run all the modules. The right modules screen was displaying a total of 102% usage.

I turned off the cargo hatch to work around this, but it seemed a bit odd that it took so long to complain. Also when I was outfitting all the modules should be consuming about 14.08 out of a max of 14.30. So should have been plenty of power available.

EDIT:
Ignore this, I forgot I upgraded the fuel scoop. It must have been the first time I deployed the hard points (accidentally hit the deploy hard points button when raising the landing gear)


On a side note I don' know why a cargo hatch needs 3% of power. The FSD only requires 2%.

 

[Kyrth]

Was the wake selected in your hud when jumped?

I don't think so. I looked up the system it told me, I didn't know I could warp with it selected. I guess I did it wrong. whoops

 

[imadot]

Was docking in Ackerman, and givin pad#44. I flew in, hit the landing gear and eyed my pad location. When I got there, ther was another ship docked on MY pad, and I could not dock. I mad dashed out canceling my dock (you then have 25 secs or so) before bad things start happening if you are still inside the station... Out side I made several requests to dock until I got another pad to land on besides # 44. When I pulled in my pad happened to be close to pad 44, and the pilot was just pulling away from the 44 pad. Shouldn't he have been fiined at least for loitering? I've never had this happen where the station gives me a pad and some one was in it when I got there, without fear of being splattered all over the station... Bug???

 

[Acceleratio]

I got a mission to buy and deliver 4 Uranium... found a Station that sells Uranium bought 4 units and deliverd it where the mission wanted me to deliver it. However I cant "give" the cargo and complete the contract. The option at the bulletin board for this is red
This is very annoing and happened already 2 times to me. Lost around 10 k this way and im at the begiining just trying figgure out how to earn money
And yes I checked if the stuff is stolen and I was in the time limit. I also had the correct amount of goods. And it was at the correct Station. (Kennan Sytem name is Obambivas)

Happend 2 times there already so I avoid Kennan like the pest
