Cargo Xfer to Fleet Carrier broken...... Again?

[DanTheMan]

Every time I land on my carrier and try to transfer all my cargo the feature is broken. The cargo "bounces" straight back to my ship. :-(
Solution? Quit to main menu and go back and it works 100%.
But WHY is it broken? It's such a simple check to make as a software tester as it is a very, very basic function.
Bad "Frontier" go and stand in the corner until you can tell me why you messed up.

I've heard/read that behavior is an undocumented feature of U17...

I have had it happen on rare occasions. I've found if I then try to transfer just one item to the carrier...it works...then will work with all at once again

Same. Did you submit a ticket? FDev suggested a stability patch end of November so if we have a ticket then they might fix it.

I'm not! I paused my download as soon as I started reading what a bug-infested mess this update 17 ended up being.

A thought to keep in mind.

The forums being what they are nobody posts as much about how happy they are in the game or how little effect the bugs are having on them.

I am not saying that there aren’t new, old and possibly necro’d bugs out there just that the people happily enjoying the game don’t post as much about it.

Exactly, ED is the least buggy game i play by a mile.

Well it has been a persistent feature for me since U17. Never had it before. Hey-Ho!
Going back out to main menu and restarting the game is the only way I have found to clear it, which is boring and continuity breaking.

Ahh yes, that silent majority of happy players..

Spoiler: Happy Players

Anyway, it wasn't a "This update is full of bugs!" claims that turned me away, it was a specific list of bugs, a couple of which greatly irritated me back when they were first introduced YEARS ago.. bugs that directly affect my gameplay, many of which the "I'm a happy clam exploring in deep space away from 99% of Elite's gameplay" people of course won't experience.

When / IF these bugs are fixed, I'll resume my download. Until then, there's no point. I tip my hat to the OP and others who brave the wrath of the "My game is fine!" crowd to try to bring attention to these bugs, especially since even the most respected of ED fans admit the Issue Tracker is absolute garbage and being loud on the forum is about the only way to get FDev's attention when it comes to bugs.

Something about how Thargoid signals have caused craaaaazy thoughts in the heads of NPC pilots, and it seems also the storage crew of carriers. Should be a Galnet article on it soon.

Takes a lot for me to say the game is unplayable AND contribute to the useless Issue Tracker but......

....I refuse to have to log out then back in EVERY TIME I want to transfer 728tonnes of Tritium from my Cutter to my Carrier....damn thing just returns it to my Cutter unless as Iv said I log out & back in, then it works BUT ONLY FOR THAT LOAD!!!! next load doesn't transfer.

I'm trying to fill up my Carrier with 20k tonnes of Tritium, so I can go back out exploring.......this is pathetic Frontier.....SORT IT OUT

Just curious ....try to have 727 t and unload it
I'm in the Black now, I mine tritium there, and all I have in cargo is easy unloaded to the carrier, however, I don't have full cargo used. Because when I sell back limpets I have some spare room.

Is it an option for you to work around it by setting up a buy order at the carrier for 5%?

I’d consider it while this is an issue, and the money is basically staying in your pocket anyway.

Iv come back from the black, not had any issue out there when mining....give up today, but yeah I'll try only 700t in the Cutter tomorow.

Another workround I'll try tomorrow.

It's a problem I have from time to time.

When I try to transfer something to my FC, I "can't transfer". I have to enter and exit the main menu.

Yeah it really kills your play session quickly.....I just logged out, added to Issue Tracker, then loaded up FS22

It's still happening, but not every time. I was able to transfer several full+ loads (full cargo + extra in the refinery) from my Cutter to my carrier a few days ago. Last night, I had to log out to transfer Tritium and escape pods each time from my Corvette.

<edit> Also, I had a few escape pods and "Trinkets of Hidden Fortune" in my vette and had to log out to transfer those. Nowhere near a full load. </edit>
