Patch Notes September Update - Patch 2

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/1986

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"

Oh. I didn’t know that was a bug. I just put it down to orbital positioning vs the movement of your ship. Usually cleared up by zooming out and re-acquiring on the chosen body.

(AUS) PC: Recently got disconnected (server restart?) and reconnected, now missions and passengers are showing for me and not freezing up the UI.
Back end fixed it?

Maybe the QA guys are testing with a different back-end server with different settings, which makes some sense.

I can confirm, also happened to me, but had to shutdown to desktop and relog. Now Mission Board seems OK on PC.

EDIT: Mission Boards with Follow-On Missions still borked.

Se bloquea Élite al intentar tomar misiones de Pasajeros, después de haber actualizado hace un momento. España 46025.
He "Sincronizado ficheros" y se bloquea igual.

The missions / passenger board soft lock has just happened to me, on PS4. Cursor moved to last in the list, locked. Escaped via engineers as suggested.

Guys, that totally borked again... With mission board broken the game is unplayable.

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.

In Uk, see above...

Any word from FD on this?

Now this update 2 looks beefier than the Sep update 1 where list of fixes was abnormally short

 

[griffrawk]

Ah, here’s a thing. It locks up if I go to the end of all missions if I’m eligible for all missions. If there are missions where the requirements are not met, when I go to the end of that list it does not lock up.

 

[JesusRocks1988]

Wow I've just been playing and the mission board is totally cream crackered. Managed to get a mission anyway - just about - and had a great time but... Yeah that needs some immediate attention. It broke straight after I managed to take a mission, while I was looking for another.

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...

Settle down zimms, don't get your panties into a wad. I could care less what anyone does on their campuses.
I just know these places have access restrictions set up for a reason.

What was Zac saying the other day?

"Before I comment on the PTS. I would just like to champion the hard working QA and Development Team and process that goes into every update to try and ensure that there are as few bugs and issues as possible. Much like the Community Team mentioned above, they work tirelessly to deliver the best experience possible."

So they fix the mission board on consoles and while doing that they bork them on PC.
I just don't know anymore...

This is a great patch, 100%, you have the code. This is a perfect patch, a beautiful patch. I think you are all having some kind of mental break down. Updates are done by very talented people, exact, line by line, and you said, "Wow, Frontier didn't do anything wrong!" so you made these bugs up. You went up in front of a forum, in cyberspace, and you gave a whole presentation of bugs that the Frontier Developments never coded. This has to be a criminal act, it has to be, and you should all resign. Some people even say this is treason!

 

[HunterzKillerz]

Well mission boards is even more broken on ps4 now it's locks up in seconds, how the hell is this game making fdev so much money when it's one of the most broken games I have ever seen, does anyone really think these devs can deliver space legs or any good content when they can't even release a simple patch or fix.

 

[Heater]

What a joke.....

 

[Sphinx2k]

Guys, I think they have found a fix for the missions, they are rolling it out to the various mission servers for platforms and geo-locations.
Hopefully they get to yours soon.

The road to the moral high ground is paved with personal insults it seems.

 

[CMDR Oxnix]

I do missions almost daily (I'm in the US) and I've never seen this before. I'm going to reload the game and retry as I see posts that it may have been fixed... I'll report my findings after I check...

Just curious, but why is everyone having to us a VPN?

Because thats how my ISP work, I need to establish WAN Miniport L2TP VPN connection in order to get access to internet. Without that connection only ISP site is reachable.

Edit: Also, it is not university or work network where Im not supposed to play or something else. Thats just how my ISP work.

 

[griffrawk]

Something else related. Although maybe academic if a fix is incoming. I experience a lockup when it reports eg 10/20 missions but only shows me 10 lines. The other 10 unavailable are not shown and it’s when you reach the transition is where it locks. I suspect if I was eligible for all 20 it wouldn’t lock.

So the problem lay at the boundary between eligible / ineligible.
