Double Scanning - Glitch?

Engadine

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone else has this happen to them?

On completion of a detailed scan the message: -

Detailed scan complete. Additional Data analysis complete.

Is shown along with the same message in the Info panel, but the scan seems continue for sometime after, almost as though it's started again.

Anyone?

Regards

Cheers for the reply.

Been on for most of the afternoon and on setting out it was fine, just later in the afternoon it started.

The best theory I have heard for this is that it occurs during peak times, the FDev servers just hiccup. It did seem to start more or less around the time of the Great Steam Migration, so it sounds plausible.

It is, without a doubt, annoying.

That may be so, and we have been saying that for ages, but :
Why does the second scan need a full scan ? If at the end of first scan we miss the boat(with regards to server) , why go through another 15-30 secs ? why not ask the server 3 or 5 seconds in to the 2nd scan ?
We have already "played" the scan game and don't need to be punished the 2nd time, bad coding or some other reason why this happens ?

Definitely happening to me as well. Absolutely seems to be network lag or something that causes it. If you watch the bandwidth meter, you can tell. Annoying? Yeah. Game breaking? No. Likely a bugfix thing for later on once they get 1.3 and some of the really critical things (whatever those may be) resolved, I'd say.

As I said earlier, it sounds like network lag or server error, but something is fishy : I have had 100s of double scans, never a triple one !

I get this maybe 1 in 50 scans, or maybe less. I don't really keep count.
It is slightly annoying, I'd like to swing out and accelerate to the next target as soon as I get the 'Scan complete' message but I have to wait in case it does the double scan.
I too suspect some sort of delay in returning data from the server is to blame.

Iv had it happen in the past that at least one object in every system i visited would have to re-scan. It seems to become more frequent in the late afternoon/evenings UK timezone, when European & States players are online. It does still happen early morning UK time, but not as much.

Yeah been happening to me a lot lately, its annoying.
Also sometimes when doing a disovery scan it tells me how many bodies are discovered but they dont show up in system map etc, have to re honk for them to appear.

Both are a pain in the long run, but I think the dual detailed scan is worse. The honk doesn't take that much time but I have have adopted the double honk as a requirement if I only get the drop in star as my only object.

Just returned from a little 2-day exploration trip and yes I noticed that too.


Every so often I'd scan and move on to the next system then I'd notice something I didn't scan somewhere a thousand LS back. Had a few "" moments until I realized this glitch. lol

Yep, happens to me, too. But I always scan after I get the "1 new astronomical object discovered" for the sun, so I don't miss anything. If anything, the response is just latent.
