Can't finish travel tutorial, very frustrated!

Gamma 1.0

I am trying to work through the tutorials but I am stuck in the travel tutorial. My ship will not exit hyperspace, and there's nothing I can do. I am stuck and have to shut down E:D from the task manager. Here's what I am doing:


  • Launch and exit the station
  • Retract landing gear
  • Fly out until mass lock is off
  • Select and lock the "Destination" target, 3.16 LY (I have done this using either the galaxy map or list of targets)
  • Turn my ship towards the target and try to get it DEAD-ON
  • Engage hyperspace (either using J key or selecting Engage Hyperspace on the target list)

My ship then jumps to hyperspace ... forever. I am stuck. It never comes out of hyperspace, I cannot press ESC and exit the game, I cannot do anything except look around in the cockpit. I have pressed every key and every mouse button to try and do something, anything. I am forced to shut the game down in task manager.

I've watched several YouTube tutorials and read through some of the quick start guides on this forum and elsewhere on the Internet. In every tutorial, it seems the ship just drops out of hyperspace automatically with no user input required. What am I doing wrong? This is getting very frustrating, I have played every highly complex space game out there for years, (Eve Online, X series) and never had so much trouble doing the basic functions of a game! Devs, YOUR TUTORIAL SUCKS!! It needs A LOT of work if you want to charge a AAA price for this game.

Help, please ...
 
There was a bug that occasionally left you stuck in the hyperspace 'tunnel'. Thought it had been fixed, though. It hasn't happened to me in ages.

I suggest you pop a support ticket in to FD.
