This has always been a thing - the UI can only list 75 missions max at a time, so if you go to ALL there may be many that don't get displayed.
Continual crashes - any response from FDEV?

Anyhoo, game problem seems solved for now...

Ah thanks for the extra info! Wonder how hard that would be to fix? (not suggesting they try.. don't want my srv to turn into jam or my avatar to be replaced by a bicycle or something)
spoken too soon. I -just- had a crash to desktop doing engineering on some beam lasers ... No missions or cg's or turning in stuff. Just rolling upgrades and spending materials at Broo's.
sigh... just ***'ing *sigh.
They DID say they where seeing crashes elsewhere.
Another interesting observation.
My experience with both hit jobs and with salvage ops (of which I perform MANY) is that 90% of the time I find the mission sites far more quickly by using the FSS than if I take the time to fly to, drop at, scan a nav beacon, and re-enter SC. I almost never visit nav beacons to find mission sites.
What secret do I know?
bugs can be fun like that, where what is actually causing them is not triggered every time the original action is repeated or what's being repeated isn't actually what triggered the bug because users only see the UI and not all the stuff going on behind the scenes that drive the UI.
Well I'm not having CTDs anymore. On the other hand yesterday's Ivory Cobras gave way to a wave of Mauve Adders before returning to Ivory Cobras...
As for Northpin's... Aspirations it's probably best if I sit quietly back here and watch the slow motion train wreck...

Excellent! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to login and give it a go now.
I can confirm. The crashes as a result in turning in missions seems to be fixed now. I just turned in 4 combat missions without a problem.
Would love to know what changed that caused this outcome.
Force feeding pizza , coffee and amphetamins to the devs who changed something in the back end so they couldn't sleep until they'd fixed it I'd imagine

I'll give you two tinhatfoilmoments: budgetary cuts affecting the hosted infrastructure (less server nodes in the server farms required for ED to function properly) or some form of anticheat implemented which didnt have the expected effect
Or not as much tinhatfoiling but still tinhatfoiling: some change in the server code didnt had the expected results OR it had the expected results that the management didnt care to listen to (the famous post-factum words: "i told you so")
Yeah, it's weird that a server-side change is causing client crashes. I'd have thought that'd just mean more disconnects. My gut feeling is also an attempt to break the trainers the cheats are using. Hence my curiosity.I'll give you two tinhatfoilmoments: budgetary cuts affecting the hosted infrastructure (less server nodes in the server farms required for ED to function properly) or some form of anticheat implemented which didnt have the expected effect

Not that weird, ED is a truly online game.
With a really bad connection you cannot even do mining in solo - you will get stuck limpets, you will get stuck fragments in refinery and many other things that apparently are validated or depending to a constant flow of packets to/from ED servers
Yes, I expect those to end with disconnects. Not CTDs. Hence, weird.
