Newcomer / Intro Frame Shift Drive Malfunction

Taowulf

Soooo, I've searched all over, took some damage in a fight, Frame Shift Drive is at 57%, I hit the button to go info Frame Shift and am told "Frame Shift Cancelled - Manfunction". I've tried to reboot and repair multiple times, every time it tells me it is successful with 0 modules repaired. How do I clear this malf? I've also tried powering the FSD off and back on again. Yes, I do work in tech support, how did you know?

Malfunctions happen at 80% or less integrity. If you have no means to repair that much you'll have to deal with it. Engage jumps from normal space to prevent further damage from malfunction induced drops.

The reboot and repair option only cannibalises overall integrity to bring 0% modules back up to barely working 1%.

At 57% integrity you FSD should fail about 43% of the time. Just keep trying to engage and you should eventually be able to jump. You'll just want to get that thing repaired as soon as possible.

No emergency FSD drops, it was damage from combat. I can't engage the drive at all, it malfs on every attempt to engage the FSD

100% failure. Been hammering it like a broken whack-a-mole. Repair is 7.73Ls away with a current max speed of 299m/s :|

P.S. ETA is 90 days....so trying to find a better solution than self destruction.

Hammer it more. It will engage eventually.

Point is a malfunction can also drop you from super cruise.

If I had been in super cruise, that would have been relevant. But I am unable to enter said super cruise.

I find it somewhat absurd that I can have 95% or higher on every component except canopy (20%), FSD (57%) and the cargo hatch (89%) and I am completely unable to enter Frame Shift.4

Might be relevant in the future :)

You are able to engage, but with a severely damaged FSD it's gonna take many attempts. The other modules are irrelevant in this case.

Well, I found a solution after hitting the button for FSD over 100 times, multiple reboots of the ship and turning the FSD module off/on multiple times.

I clicked save and exit, and was able to go into Frame Shift right after it loaded up again.

So I will be submitting a bug report.

As said above you should get some failures and a re-load should not make any difference. As it clearly did it I think you just found a bug. Time to post on the bugs forum.
