Stuck in Chango Dock hangar with loss of server

Chango Dock in the I Bootis system
Upgraded my Sidewinder to the hauler and fitted a mining laser and swapped out one of the cargo modules for the Refinery (3, 7 bins).

Everytime I try to launch, return to surface, or access station the games loses connection to server.
[edit: Also disconnects if I try to access right and left menu panels, in fact pretty much as soon as I interact with any menu]
[edit: Was playing in solo mode, but problem persists in group mode as well.]
[edit: On further testing the connection loss occurs about 5 secs after loading hangar irrespective of interaction with any menus.]

Trying to figure out how to submit a proper ticket, but can't get the 'Known Issues' panel out of the way :/

[edit: enjoying the extra ship types on the loading screen ]

Big thumbs up to the new fuel gauge - shows how much fuel you're going to use for a jump when you target a system

 

[veilchen2k]

First impression

WOW, what a huge change! and ... WHOAH there are a lot of you guys (and maybe some girls?) out there
The sound has become even better - simply an epic score during SC!
The first impression on the new GUI is also very positive.
Yeah and once again, there is a lot of traffic....
Had already one crash (sent in) and two serious lags (one was up to 2 or 3 minutes).

TL-DR: Excellent job, dev team!

PS: space and cockpit seems to be darker now, which I do prefer

 

[Scienti5t]

I'm getting the same thing at Styx - Chu dock.

I assumed it was server stress from launch rush.

I'll see tomorrow how it is.

 

[CMDR DeadPorkins]

LOL there is no point in talking to you. Of course it is fault of others but not your lovely pupils. Give me a break because you got problems with understanding things. Good bye!



I had the same problem but I had patience to alt tab, alt enter, ctrl+alt+del to finally get into game and exit it. But I thought that I will be forced to make cold reset too :/ Very frustrating.

I'm sorry that you had to spend a full 10 minutes getting your PC to work again. That's alot of time wasted for the cause.

 

[Aquila Oculus]

If you just sleep the PC and wake it that's the easiest way if you get stuck.

I too am still getting stuttering in supercruise, but it's no worse than Beta 2.

 

[nbhamilt]

yup, I keep dropping as soon as I try to do anything from main launch menu - move to surface, etc.

calling it quits and going to bed, as I guess this is a server crash/overload issue....

(it was fine for a while, I got as far as LHS 6392 or something a way away, got my cobra and equipment, (need a new power unit mind!)

 

[Calsus]

Did all three of you purchase new ships?

 

[CoSm1c gAm3r]

I found out that ELITE original want to make part in ED xD

Spoiler

Spoiler

 

[nbhamilt]

Well, I bought a cobra, but happily did some upgrades, trades and two hyperspsces, then sold cargo, bought new cargo, selected jump destination, so it wasn't the buying the new ship that set it off immediately

 

[cgisoul]

Wow!!! Mind blowing!!! Thank you so much for all these updates!!!

 

[Pazzolupo]

Hooray! Can't wait to get in!

 

[Grunt]

Oh dear.

Hi all

Just started playing the beta 3 ......and I keep being disconnected from The server, Anyone else have the same issue?:S
Only managed to fly for about 1 min before being the game saying that "sever not responding" or something to that effect.

Yep, but when I get back in I'm rattling around in a space station, lots of damage and a 1000cr fine for intrusion. I pay it but it won't go away, so I get blasted when I try to leave. Its nibbling away at my
credits.

First things first, I went to Aulin, purchased my favourite ship. The glorious dog fighter, the viper.
However after doing so I keep getting dc'ed back to main menu. Full restart and tried in solo, open play and private with no success ):
But what I did get to see of it, I'm impressed.
It's insane.
Such good visuals and glad its gone back to the gritty dark look, gives the cockpit a bit more immersion!

I did exactly the same, went to Aulin, bought the viper. and now get kicked as soon as I enter back in game. Disconnected from server error. But what I played was much better, smoother, and like what they have changed.

 

[Lasica]

Problem I've found is that if you fail a mission now you are left with cargo you can't get rid of and you can't sell the cargo on the black market or eject it because it is "mission critical", but the mission no longer exists just a fine to pay. Also the new ticket system doesn't work for some reason.

 

[nosscar]

Alt-Tab/Ctl-Alt-Del bug needs to be the first thing patched, it's incredibly frustrating to have to restart the pc to get back to the desktop.

Strange. for me alt tab takes me to windowed mode, then I can easily get to desktop.

 

[JimSpitfire]

Same at Chu dock.

Also put it down to server load and will try tomorrow along with figuring out what to do with the illegal cargo I will have acquired

 

[Furiant]

Delete your windows firewall rules for Elite, reboot, and recreate them by pointing to the new exe. Worked for me on two machines, hopefully will for you too!

I tried this but found the problem was even worse afterwards - not that it was worse because of the firewall changes, but they definitely didn't resolve the issue. I even turned the firewall off completely, and the issue remains. I'm guessing it's regional, or due to server load, or whatever. Hopefully it will just clear up at some point. For the time being, I'm getting kicked out within 10-20 seconds of logging in.

So much improvement apparent even so... looking forward to some sustained play soon.

 

[Crash_Happy]

I can't get the ticket submission to work, the pull downs don't. I'd ticket it, except for the obvious.
This is in Firefox having had no previous problems.
Also, missions can be offered with 0.00 time left.
