Another fail. [down]
Dear FDev: Regarding your most recent "fix" of the Mission Board . . .
- Thread starter JetsonRING
- Start date
Considering it used to crash the game, this is an improvement.
Haven't had this happen since the fix and I run a lot of missions....
All good for me too, and I'm all the way out in NZ.
Check your connection OP.
Check your connection OP.
Second this, internet connection is most likely the fail.
I have had this twice since 2.3 drops, one was MS kindly downloading patches in the background (given tis background, could they not throttle it), the other to be fair is unexplained, so putting down to wireless and or internet, or evne FD servers having a bad 5 minutes, as going out and back in refreshed the board ok.

This. And while he checks his connection he might as well check his attitude and general understanding.
You get this message when the game cant connect easily to the servers. Sometimes I get a blip in my internet service and these timeouts happen then.
It's no where near as bad as it was, but I do still get these randomly, I'm guessing the server is not creating enough threads to meet demand, then retrieval times out.
I had this happen the other night the whole night... Yup, it's a pain, I got over it...
I use phone LTE connection for play ED and during whole evening (circa 8 hours in game) two days ago, when I did missions most of time, happened to me only once that mission list ended like in OP. Considering highly increased variation of missions and balancing rewards for missions (included the micro-materials rewards), I think that this last server update was really good one. Personally I only wish that FDev continue improving missions similarly like they did it for this last update. Maybe OP can try reach to support so they can check why it do not work for him smoothly.

So did I but I could only get a "partial load" of the Passenger Missions the day before yesterday. I got maybe a total of 7-8 compared to the usual 30-40 across all factions at Wu Guinagi.
That problem resolved itself the following day.
Missions are currently the majority of my playtime, and I've yet to see a single hiccup. Always loads fast.
Besides, I'd hardly classify what the OP posted as a 'fail'. The game did exactly what it was coded to do, provide a partial mission list instead of failing. Seems like it's working as intended.

No issues with any version of 2.4 on the mission board for me. In Bermuda, on really clunky Internet.

You could see it as an improvement over the old behaviour where the game would CTD, give you an empty mission board, or return a partial list, as in the screenshot - but without telling you that it'd happened at all. Best err on side of dev incompetence, I guess.
