As a VR player, I so love this game, and oh how much sometimes I hate it when something like this occurs, but hey, can't stop playing. In the 1960's, I played in a cardboard box with drawn controls to "fantasize" my space travels. Elite Dangerous Odyssey is my dream come true. I love it, though I hate the FDev VR negligence it gets, but it still is awesome.
I'm in one of my "fighting" ships and go on a Massacre mission and took out two pirates, but needed five, so jump to Super-Cruise to track them down again. I have had the "problem" where you could not enter super cruise several times, you just had to log out and log back in. But tonight, oh my goodness. Same issue, could not Super Cruise, but now I could not log out either. My "exit/pause" button would not work. Keyboard escape would not work. XBox controller would not work. So I took off my VR headset and used my mouse on the mirror window close "X" in upper right corner and the window does not close, rather I hear "shields down". What?!?! Put VR headset back on and I hear my ship computer saying "critical temperature" and I see flames on my dashboard. Things are heating up, modules are going off line, I'm in deep trouble. I can't do anything, I can't log out, I just sit in my cockpit as hull damage increases and flames appear in my cockpit. I'm human, I'm panicking.
Finally, in desperation, I rip off my VR headset and use the Windows Ctl-Alt-Del to get task manager and select, "KILL THIS PROGRAM". Well, actually "end program", but you know how I felt. It worked. Finally EDO closed down. I restarted EDO with concern, but discovered I'm in the same location and my shields and hull are at a 100%, as if nothing really happened previously. I went into Super Cruise, which now worked just fine, and had to repeat the Nav Beacon, continuing the mission to success.
Whew, what a freaking scare. I only have 650 hours in this game, and plan to have many more if it continues to be supported. Love it, warts and all. But geez, things can get really weird with this thing.
