Horizons No asteroids in RES?

[Lokisma]

Hello everyone, sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section because I don't know if it's a bug or if it's normal game mechanics;

When I travel to a RES, I don't see any asteroids. There is indeed a mass lock but no asteroids? Is it normal because the asteroids are depleted (it's a beginner's sector, Dahan I think) or is it a bug?

What should I do in a case like this? Reinstall the game or...? Thank you very much for your help,

Fly safe!

It sounds like you need to verify / validate your game files. There should be at least a few asteroids visible right when you drop in - others might load in a few seconds later. Depleted or not they will always be there.

Another thought that occurs to me is that maybe you're not actually at the RES? Even from a significant distance you should be able to see the planetary rings - individual asteroids are visible even from supercruise when you get really close. Are you able to see the rings themselves?

Thank you for your reply Keelback. I traveled to another system and the problem seems to be gone! Now I see asteroids in RES, I suppose that was just a bug in Dahan...who knows?
When they didn't show, I could see the asteroid belt, but the RES was not located exactly there, it was in between 2 belts (if this makes sense) not directly into the asteroid field.

Anyways thank you again

There are RES locations that lie in gaps between rings. LHS 200 has one for instance. Often you can see the edge of the adjacent rings in the distance. It's probably a bug but on the other hand it's kind of funny to go there. Miner ships jump in, mull around for minute and then leave. Pirate ships do the same because there are no miners to pirate. If you're quick you can pick off the wanted ships before they jump out.

i do this in Beta-3 Tucani, allmost no miners, allmost all wanted ships. best HAZRES out there!!
