Patch Notes September Update - Patch 2

[Gibbon]

Same here, did a few missions this morning without any lockups even when scrolling through the missions/factions.

An elusive answer at best. When this morning is the question i'd ask, before the update or after? These issues that the rest of us are suffering from came after the current patch dropped this morning. If it's working for you now, great. Fingers crossed FD have sorted it server side.

Locking up for me - on pc.

Ok, I figured it had something to do with playing were you're not supposed to be playing.

Not necessarily. In a university for example, the university is probably happy for you to bork up your own laptop with random malware from the dark corners of the Internet, but it doesn't want it going though its own servers without it being safely encrypted. It is much easier to administrate traffic when it's limited to only certain well-known types. Also a VPN looks like a single hop. Without it you can find the routing for packets as they go through the university's network and get a list of machines to attempt to hack.

There may also be an advantage in controlling the traffic within the university network and preventing students hacking other students.

In my case, just now. 9:30 UTC, after downloading the patch.

Just wanted to be sure..

And what if somebody lives on campus? Do you have the authority to tell people they are not allowed to play games at home in their free time? Just wanted to be sure...

Update: The team has investigated the disconnect and mission list communication issue for console players, and we have implemented a change that should reduce the amount of times players encounter this.
However, if you have any further problems, please let us know.

No, but you don't have to let them use your network to do so.

No, but you don't have to let them use your network to do so.

True and I didn't say to. But "everyone who uses VPN is probably a criminal anyway so screw them" attitude is a bit silly. (Not talking about you)

Mission board broken, can't hand in completed missions.

QA staff on holiday once again.

 

[Kzak]

Guess I'll fly around for a bit and gather materials, this works well.

 

[trinita]

Reproduced, added a confirmation. Now up to 7. Could three more commanders add their confirmations please?

Thanks mate, appreciate the help.
It's hardly a game breaking bug of course, but, considering the frequency with which it occurs, it can be very frustrating and annoying..... Especially for those who use th FSS a lot (like me).

This bug was introduced with the april update. It was reported months ago, by several people, on pc and ps4.
Yet, 6 months later, its status on the issue tracker still remains "confirming"

I've seen something like this with my HOTAS, it is sometimes remedied by going back a level and zooming in again. I'll keep that link and add to it when I see it happening again, although it is very intermittent - which are the hardest to track down of course.

You’re assuming they have QA staff!

Mission board also locking up for me on PC.

Sorry, had to be more clear. It was after the patch, first one I did about an hour after the patch went live.

Locking up for me too on PC!

 

[McStinkDog]

Downloading the patch. Happy it's here.
Any news on NPC ships zig-zagging through normal space creating weird engine-trail patterns?

Well if THAT doesn’t get sorted you may want out that down to some folklore...”chem trails” that’d be satisfactory

 

[CMDR Oxnix]

Soft lock while scrolling thru missions... PC... ARG!!!!

 

[Soron Silin]

Out of curiosity, you people with mission-screen soft-locks, which countries are you in? I just wonder if there is a pattern.

I'm in the UK, and I don't have it.
