Able to join Mobius PVE but can't join open? What gives?

You can connect in PG but not Open. Looks to me like there are too many people at your location in Open and the game cant create an instance for you.

Try connecting in PG/Solo, moving your ship, and try relogging in Open. See what happens.
 
FDev have been watching you. For your safety they have decided not to let you fly in open, as you are not "gud" enough.

What the hell is a shadow ban?
 
Have you made at least 1 jump since starting the game? Theres spawn protection until you hyperspace for the first time.

Aside from that fire support a ticket once you've done a quick check of the e-mail your account is registered to (inc spam folder).



If they have a reason and proof, not all that much is known about the process as people who get banned are few and far between and often don't talk about it.

We know you get an e-mail or several if shadowbanned and we know it prevents you meeting other players and also your effects on the game markets etc won't transfer to the live server. However, I would expect if shadowbanned the user wouldn't be able to access anything except Solo or they could access anything including open but the networking would break their connection to other players. This case above is neither of those.



Edit: Comeon guys lets not jump to the shadowban conclusion so quickly, you all look like you are dying to find someone who's been banned! Theres a whole number of things that it could be and to be honest a quick scan at post history and google search I don't think the OP quite fits the profile for someone who hacks/cheats if I can be so bold...

Asking the only question that matters.

Everybody seems to be jumping on the shadowban discussion and we don't even know what happens when the OP tries to join Open.

OP, is your Open option greyed-out?
Can you click on the option, but you receive a warning message? (something like Sorry, you can't join open)
Do you go past the loading screen but it then disconnects?
You get to actually join open but can't meet anyone?
etc. etc.

Two examples of excellent response's to the OP's question. +Rep given accordingly.
 
What the hell is a shadow ban?
It is a mechanism for restricting player's access to the Open environment as a form of punishment for certain behaviours (e.g. griefing, combat logging). I am not sure whether all shadow banned players are grouped together or whether they are effectively put into solo mode. But AFAIK shadow banned players do not instance with normal players (at least in the Open environment).
 
I fly in Mobius and Open depending on what I am doing and if I am flying with others, I never have a problem switching between the two, I am also ranking up so mode switching, again never have an issue.
 
Was that Mobius USA or the European Mobius?? Not an answer to your question on Open, sorry, but just interested if European Mobius is open for new joiners again, as they have been full up for months now!
The original Mobius group is closed for new applicants, permanently. It's full, for the umpteenth time so the admins has decided for drastic measures to free up space. Everyone will actively have to move over to a new group (Mobius PvE Eurasia) and in about half a year the original group will be disbanded and reset. The full guide and reasons can be found on the Mobius forum group request page:

The Future of Mobius PC Groups

Clarification: This concerns the PC/Mac groups, not Xbox or PS4. :D

Heya everyone. Last night I logged right into Open with no issues. Was just a temporary issue from the night before when I first created this thread.

All good and in. Now only if multi crew dropped in and out more efficiently. I can get into open, and even another commander's ship when going to multi crew but when I leave the mutli crew ship I have problems "dropping back" to my own ship....it just sits at the orange spinning ship screen most times.
