Mission board on PC soflocked.

Tho patches in a row, which introduced more bugs, then fixed...
I have not touched ED for 4 years, this year discovered it again :)
September updates were my first ones. Thought such an old game must be somehow extraordinary stable, but I was so wrong...

Still getting mission crashes... soft, but it's wasting a lot of time. Hope it gets fixed soon...
Open was working and Solo crashed... still waiting...

Frontier goes through developers like Donald Trump goes through advisors. If this was an old game written and maintained by the same team from beginning to end, I think it would be stable, but instead it's a Shakespearean play written by 500 different random people adding bits and pieces at different times, and therefore it "reads" as such. :(

It's odd that such a seemingly innocuous update has introduced so many bugs. Presumably there's been some major re-working of things under the hood to get ARX working or for things we don't know about yet.

It has been theorised by others that the need to award points for game play with the introduction of ARX means that all areas of the game have been 'touched' and broken accordingly.

This seems to be the most unsuccessful update in last 4 years.
The orientation of the stations after the update was not corrected.
Mission selection freezes at end of list. In this case, only a restart/relog helps

I agree with everything but, seriously.. did you guys even test a patch before releasing it? Jeez... I'm lucky I'm in the outer space and I don't have to deal with the mission board.

Can't accept more than one mission at Robigo without the screen locking up. Based on the time line in regards to fixes since the last update. Reckon, it will be a couple of weeks before I can play again.

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.

Accurate finding. With factions where I meet requirements for all offered missions, no softlock happens. The softlock seems related to the fact that missions where you do not meet requirements simply do not appear in the list. Similarly, in the passenger lounge, if you go in without any cabins in your ship and therefore you do not meet requirements for any missions, no passenger mission displays.

If you go in with all kinds of cabins in your ship... the passenger missions display correctly.

I am pretty sure tthat FDevs are fed up of being called "amateurs". Even if they proven themselves to be amateurs. Maybe they forgot a server side patch?
