Elite: Dangerous - Bug discussion

[wielebny]

yo in the system map what tab have you got selected? look at the navigation tab, now what route planner have you chosen? Because you can go either fastest or most economical, but maddeningly enough you can also manage to "uncheck" both options leaving you with no routes between system. This happened to me once. cost me a few confused minutes.

Now onto my issue, Im finding that my usual " Hunt so and so" missions aren't working since the patch. I get a mission track down the target and it turns out not to be the usual heavily armed anaconda but an orca, (mostly unarmed) who just sits there and dies, but the mission doesn't change front Hunt to Cash-in in my transaction box... The same orca then keeps appearing in all my following USSs what gives?

I got stuck years from home
ps. lol.....explained - Cobra sold and buy a new Cobra, reach back ... amazing...jump range 10,1 ly ......my mistake, I swapped..frame shift drive

"Functions" UI tab possibly bugged...cannot update some options (in space,in dock, anywhere)

For me it previously worked, now most of the lower half of options cannot be changed. e.g. "Report crimes against me" and "show orbit lines" are stuck to their current setting. The crimes one is a bit of a hassle as sometimes it's preferable not to have the cops show up.

(this has been for several weeks, not related to today's incremental update)

I had the same issue, This worked for me:

My galaxy map wasn't showing any trade routes so I took the advice and deleted:

C:\Users\{username}l\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Player\Custom.misc.

This seem to reset everything galaxy map-wise, but had to do it again as routes stopped showing few days later, since then it has worked fine. More info on the issue and various fixes is here:https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showth...e+key+bindings

Local Bounty Fine bug.

I hit someone by accident (as you do) and got a local fine of 225cr and a 'Wanted' status. Fair enough, just pay it off
at the local station like I always do right? WRONG!

I couldn't pay it off. Despite many attempts to pay it off at three different stations in the system it wouldn't allow me
to do so. It clearly displayed the fine in my right panel but nothing was displayed at any of the stations when I
selected contacts/local Security Office.

As a result I thought I had a permanent 'Wanted' status attached to me. I solved it by quitting out of the game
and starting again. The fine and the 'Wanted' status had gone.


[EDIT] It just happened again. Had to quit out of the game to remove the 'Wanted' status

What works for me when this happens and I believe it's a game mechanic is to leave the system and dock at a outpost in another system as opposed to a hub and pay the fine there and your good to go. I think you may be running into problems within the original system because of your wanted status from the local authority.

Strange bug when entering conflict zone.

Not sure if this has been reported already.. I had a look quick through the bug thread but didn't find anything.

Entered a conflict zone in Zaragas system. It was positioned just above the rings of a gas giant 'Zaragas 4'. When i dropped out of SC, for a fraction of a second i could see the NPCs. Then they vanished. The conflict zone had also moved and was now 1.04ls away from me (i definitely didn't drop out of SC too soon).
So i targeted the CZ again and cruised to it. Dropped out of SC and same again. The NPCs were there for a sec, then gone. I was pointed directly at the nav marker for the CZ and it was moving away from me even though i was at full sub SC speed. I stopped dead and the CZ nav marker was still moving away from me at about 4 or 5km/s.

Anyone else experienced the same?

Had it happen earlier repeatedly with seeking luxuries... Just had it happen again (twice) with a nav beacon... Most irksome.

lost distance

Have a problem when docked at a station bought a new FSDrive from a B3 to A3 never noticed anything wrong then lost distance from about 15ly to 5.31ly have checked all the fsdrives I can buy and none go past 5ish light years, So now I cannot get out of the system I am in as there is only 2 stations and 2 systems with only stars so not much to do lol

I got 400Cr bounty on my head by the empire and now I cannot clear it anymore. Imperial outposts deny my landing requests and independent outposts show nothing on the contacts panel. Basically I now get interdicted all the time because I can't pay off some few Credits. Ticket #00000032382 (with detailed infos)

EDIT: I tried again now, joined in Solo mode and suddenly there is no bounty on me anymore. I don't know how, but it got resolved

Buy a smaller ship to get out.

Fastest routes doesent work for me any more -

 

[jdegani]

I can't pay off my empire bounty and I think it may be a bug. Was bounty hunting in Empire space, glanced a security vessel, and got a bounty. Immediately left and docked at Hipparchus port in Pi Piscis Austrini to try to pay off the bounty. HUD shows me as wanted. However, there is no note of it in the transaction panel and neither the local security office nor Pilot's federation contact shows any bounty/fines to be paid. So at this moment it seems like I'm wanted without any way to pay it off.

Assassination mission won't complete.

I took a mission to kill Dr Julian Shatner. After being redirected I found him in Sobek system. I have now killed him three times (not difficult, he's in an orca, but doesn't shoot back) but the mission won't update to show completion and I can't collect the reward.

Anyone seen this one before or know how to complete it?

 

[Bozmed]

I have the same problem unable to clear wanted for accidently hitting npc

 

[Bozmed]

loged out then back in wanted has gone

OK, i'm unsure if i'm in the right spot but here it goes IMHO:

Suggestions/Questions/Bugs:

- fix chat in game when talking to friends.
- fix instance matching for you and your friends. (i wanna play with my friend. No can do. When i arrive at the same system, he isn't there).
- Add galaxy map and visual cues for friends (maybe is being done in wings patch?).
- fix bugs/UI about counter-offers on missons taken (never got it right. I dunno if i must do 'abandon' or ignore a counter-proposal to resign it.)
- fix viper cockpit FOV (cmon, seriously? just remove the top plate please).
- Add warning messages in outifiting. I've bought a new Power Distributor and new pulse lasers only to find out that my ship power usage was overcharged and i could not use my new lasers. I know the mistake was mine for not double-checking Power Available value, but if i knew, i would spent my money on a Power Core.
- Add option to pay loans immediately.
- Add option to transfer ship equipment to another ship. (Searched for that and never found it).
- Solve the "invisible fine" issue. Dunno if it's common around here but last time, i got 20k in fines coming from nowhere. I know i had stolen cargo and had to jettison it when cops came but they never said "YOU THERE! DROP YOUR CARGO, PUNK" or such. If it was because of my cargo, make it clear please.
- Can I respawn in one of my owned ships? I think I can only take stock sidewinder or old loadout. Being able to do it was nice.
- It's possible to pay a fee and transfer my stored ship to a location? I've saw something like this in the forums/ED site but like the transferring equipment issue, i've never found it.
- Galaxy map "Fastest Routes" never show anything.
- Add cockpit message about X Light Years remaining for destination. Plus, add Light Years available for travel with current fuel.
- Make player ship names appear in different color (suggestion) in Contacts pane. Sensors pick up hollow marks but Contacts show all ships as equal.
- Add "cycle player ships" button.
- Is there anything you can do about supercruise when arriving at the selected location? I've found kinda annoying to have misjudged speed and overshoot my target just because my ship decided to accelerate to maximum (even with throttle zero) just before slowing down.

Many thanks for the AWESOME game. And i'm sorry if anything sounded dumb/misconceived.

I had the same problem today, try logging in again but in Solo mode, for me this helped and the bounty disappeared.

- fix bugs/UI about counter-offers on missons taken (never got it right. I dunno if i must do 'abandon' or ignore a counter-proposal to resign it.)

Just ignore it, basically you get two missions, the original one and the counter-proposal, choose one of them and finish it, then get the reward.

- Add warning messages in outifiting. I've bought a new Power Distributor and new pulse lasers only to find out that my ship power usage was overcharged and i could not use my new lasers. I know the mistake was mine for not double-checking Power Available value, but if i knew, i would spent my money on a Power Core.

It was indeed your mistake, and you also can manage the power via priorities on the right panel. On my Viper I have configured it so that the cargo hatch, FSD and fuel scoop get deactivated when I deploy my weapons, this way I have 10% more power just for the weapons.

- Add option to pay loans immediately.

Why? This is a simulation. And regarding fines vs. bounties there are enough discussions already.

- Galaxy map "Fastest Routes" never show anything.

Works like a charm for me.

- Is there anything you can do about supercruise when arriving at the selected location? I've found kinda annoying to have misjudged speed and overshoot my target just because my ship decided to accelerate to maximum (even with throttle zero) just before slowing down.

Your ship doesn't decide to accelerate, the gravity of a stellar body does it. A nearby planet affects the speed of your ship.

This is a bug thread though, not a "suggest everything you came across" topic.

Since the 1.07 upgrade, my game stutters all the time. Pause... pause... pause... pause... pause..., like the ticking of a clock. This version is unplayable. I have ticketed the issue.
