Anyone Else find the Galaxy map "efficient/fastest" not working.

So, I've noticed that in the Galaxy Map, trying to switch between "Fuel Efficient" and "Fastest Rout" does not work, is just stays on "Fuel Efficient" no matter what. That is unless I go into a folder and delete "custom.misc" every single time I start the game. This has led me to create a .bat file to delete the file then launch Elite, this is the only thing I've found that works.

This is my .bat file, change drives and paths as required, except for the appdata folder location.

cd "C:\Users\<your account name>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Player"

del "custom.misc"

cd /d "<drive location of your elite folder>:\EDLaunch"

edlaunch.exe

pause

That's what works for me, anything within the < > is what you change.

I've found this is only way to have the galaxy map behave as it should.

Did you delete the other files in the /player folder? From what I've read elsewhere, it was recommended to throw the whole /player folder away and let the game rebuild it, if I recall correctly.

I did once, but made no difference on second reboot of game, went back to not working.

I've heard of it, so it's not just you, but not experienced it personally.

Happened to me and brother. Deleting custom.misc works.

For me it works when I simply press first "fastest" route and than target my destination and press the route button. Switching afterwards does not work with economical nor fastest. I have delete my old route and plot a new one to have those options to have any effect, furthermore is fastest route much more time consuming to plot routes.
