From 4pm until 3am EST i didn't have one dbl scan. Then this morning (9am-11am) i was getting maybe 1 every 15. No double honks. Still better then a few weeks ago.

It's been crap all day for me. Double scans...and ALOT of double/triple honks.

I'm pushing through as I have the play time today...I just wish the time was being spent more efficiently.

Yeah dreadful for me this afternoon as well. Double scans and double honks petty much every system at the moment. It's giving me a real urge to throw my monitor out of the window but I don't think that would solve much :D

Just gona add to this, also getting double scan needs today
I have noticed tho that if you wait for the sun to show up before you honk it seems to help

****edit****
Sigh, scap that, makes no odds, it did tho, for a few systems

***re-edit***
Just got a "data corrupted please try again" message after hooking...but before i could scan again the system blinked into view

Yeah not good tonite! multiple scans needed a couple of times & again 2 out of 3 objects needing double scans system after system.

Nearly smacked into a ring earlier due to double scanning & I'm getting in trouble with the missus cos she keeps thinking I'm tutting at her!!!

At this rate the universe will have collapsed before i get back from the core

Updated to 1.3.06 yesterday, and continued to scan. First half-dozen scans where all double, and continued worse than ever after that. I might have even had a triple-scan... although I'd stopped paying close attention by that stage.

The occasional double scan is acceptable/tolerable, but from yesterdays experience it seems to be getting worse.

Has FD identified what causes this? Client or Server side? Since the scan restarts immediately, this suggests that its not a post-scan exchange with the server (i.e. record that the player has scanned the target). Is there some transaction which occurs during the scan which fails to complete?

Yes, the issue is still very present. At least half of my honks and scans are double, scanned bodies do not appear on radar or the overview, only after 2nd scan etc.
It is very annoying, to put it diplomatically.

Is that happening now? I've been playing most of the day (Monday UK time from about 10:30 to 14:20) and haven't had any so far.

It's not happening for everybody. I had issues when 1.3 dropped but for me they went away a couple of patches ago and it's been back to a very occasional double scan like it's always been.

I think it's probably network related so it'll depend where you are and what your link to the back end is like as well as how many other people are online.

I had a few triple honks yesterday, and about every other smaller planet I went to had to be double or triple scanned. I was thinking that it was just my mouse wandering or something, but now I know that its just server glitches. Lag, glorious lag!

FD seems to be stepping up the exploration servers lately. I was exploring for 4 hours yesterday, and turned in 3mil worth of data without issue. No server drops during jumps, no double scans, and a pleasantly zippy data upload where I could almost spam the 20 page button, uploading 300 systems in about 3 minutes.

Thank you FDev!!! :D

Yup. happening to me too - noticed it once or twice last night but now it is happening with every single scan. Grrr. Please please please please fix this in the next patch!

Edit: Now I am when doing detailed scans it hangs on "Analyzing Scan", then I get "data corrupted" then it starts all over again, rinse and repeat. Sigh.

Stuck trying to scan a Neutron Star, on the 5th or 6th try now, Scan complete addition data blah blah, then Data Corrupt try again.

I am sure its something to do with the network traffic as it was fine 24 hours ago, scanned over 100 systems without a single double scan.

....and I just got dumped by the server
