Blue Cobra, Blu Cobra, Blu Cobra ... and ... guess what? Blue Cobra!

Relog into Elite Dangerous, not Horizons, not Odyssey. Once loaded in-ship, logout and log back into ED:O

This workaround helped me.
 
I got a bunch of those too. And purple rain and pink elephant and ... sigh... it's been a lot of connectivity issues with this update. I think I got them all.
 
Taupe Cobra for me :D I can't get back into the game since this morning. I connect to the ED servers fine in the main menu but after trying to play I get "Taupe Cobra".
 
Dav appeared in a livestream last week and said if anyone's having connection issues, there's a page to submit the game's network log file to the devs.

The more people who upload this info, the more they'll have to work with.

Does anyone know where that page is, and where the network log file is? Searching for it now.

Edit: Netlog mentioned here ...


Standard install:
NetLog -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\Products\elite-dangerous-64\logs\

or

NetLog -> C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64\logs\
NetLog -> C:\Program Files\Epic Games\EliteDangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Logs
NetLog -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Logs\ (Or adjust to your program folder/steam library)

I'm guessing open a support ticket, attach the log.

First thing I see in the logs is this:

"SupportedAddress", "IPv4" : "true", "IPv6" : "true",

Afaik, I do not have IPv6 enabled on my system. (Will have to check, been a while.)

Yup.

Just got on in solo mode. Still issues with Open though.

Playing in solo and still have 'blue cobra' errors.
It's just one more of a million bugs that they should have rectified before an official launch but money talks I guess.
I've just tried to 'donate' 5 push to Domino Green and even if I have 139 in my inventory it will not allow you to transfer. EDIT followed advice on forum to use keyboard not mouse ( how broken is that) and donated 5 push, all I got was a name 'Kit Fowler' no info or location sure makes the grind worthwhile when it doesn't work.

If I keep trying to connect eventually it works... so keep trying to connect and it should let you play after 4-5 tries.
 
If you open a powershell window in the log folder (detailed above) you can paste this command in:

Get-Content .\Client.log -Tail 10 -wait

Now you can watch the log in realtime.

That's just the client though. You'll find the Odyssey log here:

(path to your elite dangerous program) Products\elite-dangerous-odyssey-64\Logs

So open a powershell there, look for the most recent log (mine is netLog.210523193214.01.log)

then use Get-Content .\netLog.210523193214.01.log -Tail 10 -wait

Now you can watch the Odyssey net traffic in realtime.


Incidentally, I disabled ipv6 in my network adaptor (the one with 'no internet access' above) and now the log only shows ipv4 connectivity.
 
Just got a black adder when I was scanning a pirate in supercruise:

Not that I was in a wing, whatever it says below. The pirate was in a team of 4 though.

Its beyond annoying.

Fly safe (if you can at all)
