Codex Bug?
- Thread starter artao
- Start date
Codex has been dodgy since the day they released it, it's never been fully working, needs to be a rework of the entire system and separate basic CMDR info like logs and other info like earnings etc from the buggy mess that's the galacitc discoveries side of things, that way they can work on one part without it affecting the rest!
This is really bad. Almost whole game is broken, unfinished beta :-(
Don't waste your time like i did by getting surface sites' logs.
They WON'T be saved in your codex.
I noticed this with these :-
Holloway Bioscience Research Facility 15
Fort Asch
Neither of those went into my Codex Archives
Yet with the :-
Trading Vessel MD-001
Trading Vessel MD-002
Trading Vessel MD-003
They went into the codex under the Survival Tips section which already contained the logs of "Trading Vessel MD-004"
No idea what's going on but YES its bugged.
I'm sure I have some, must check next time I am online, it's to hot here to play at the moment!
Old ones yes any of the newer ones dont get added to the codex, not sure when this started ?
Ah ok, that makes sense, most of mine are from a while back, been out in the black for ages, but slowly approaching the bubble now so will check when I get close enough to any new ones!
I lost all logs from colonia T9 crash ship to overlook megaship system.
So i didn't get any other logs to be sure, and waiting a fix...
There are six things listed above this. It's moved up in the list since I last checked.
Elite Dangerous Issue Report - 16/11/2021
Greetings Commanders! Happy Tuesday. It's time, once again, for the latest installment of our Issue Report fly-overs. Below you'll find the latest Top 20 table, based on your most voted issues in the Issue Tracker. Below that you'll find a bit of a status summary on where we're at with each to...
That list doesn't even show some of the bugs introduced with the most recent updates, such as the reported hostile ships not showing up on your scanner. Which should be #1 uber super-priority. That's entirely game-breaking for just anyone except those of us deep in the black where we don't encounter anyone else. Far worse than the codex bugs. But not (yet) on that list.
The thing with the codex is, I don't think you have lost them, they just aren't being displayed, I believe all the data for the codex is stored server side and not on our PC's, so if they fixed it they should show up again. But honestly the codex has been bugged for years so I don't have high hopes of it being fixed soon!
It's sure a bummer. At least for someone new to the game. Long time players prolly don't much care.
Making discoveries and being told to "Press 'O'" to read about them .... but can't ... <sigh>
What I find particularly odd is that despite this bug existing across all platforms, the testers are apparently not able to reliably reproduce it. Us users sure do tho. 100% of the time.
I mean ... Okay. PCs can have widely varying system configurations that can affect things oddly and unexpectedly. Hardware, manufacturers, driver versions. Sure. I can see how that can be tricky sometimes.
But consoles? what? Can't reliably reproduce it? ... How?
A console is a console is a console, no? They aren't configured different with varying hardware and hardware brands and other software and whatnot. A console is consistently the same thing for all users. Which is a big part of their popularity for gaming over PC.
Or perhaps I misunderstand consoles. ... Yes, you can get different versions. More RAM or drive space AFAIK. Regardless, it's all totally standardized and assumedly easy to test by having one of each model of each system. Tax write-off even. Business expenses. Product testing equipment.
.
anyhow ...
VERDAMMT! I hope they fix it soon.
This is like the opposite of Cyberpunk 2077. Updates keep breaking more and more stuff LOL
