Elite: Dangerous - Bug discussion

[Myspace Kaitsu80]

More how AI can do what we cant, two kinds of NPC bugs I have seen at station(s?) today:

1. I engaged my Docking computer when near station (yea, lazy and I enjoy landing graphics/music), when I arrive to letterbox, ship looking very much like Sidewinter (99% sure) is inside a box both sideways and vertically wrong. My ship checks que and keeps approaching, NPC does not change position but turns into a UFO and in a second speeds up (I actually saw it just zoom out like a missile) inside the station and lands on a pad (on very very top left corner of landing pad, into a place we could not land succesfully).

2. Anoher time as I engaged my docking computer when close to a box, there were NPC lakon 7 (same that I fly) going in just before me, it came from under (?) me and I "piggy bagged" through the letterbox on its roof, my auto-docking on (only mild shield contact and damage), but then NPC stopped at the moment it reached insides of the station, just at the front of the box (and stopped me, as I had now dropped from top of NPC to it´s behind), and it tried to back up eventhough I were behind it (my auto docking on and only 2 pips in shields trying to go forwards, and I finally started to lose shields) until I pulled backwards out of the station myself (think I would have runned out of shields/hull first).

Two Lakon 7's on top of each other through the letterbox? I wish I was there to see it.

Can be resolved by exiting and logging in again(if it doesn't work then try with Solo mode), I did that and the bounty on my head just vanished.

That's useful to know, thanks. Although I doubt I'll be able to wrangled a rebate out of FD for the repair costs when a station opened fire on me after the same bug.

Going from patch 1.05 to 1.06 seems to have messed up mission generation, at least locally:

I've been hanging out in LT 911 for the last week or so, since before the last patch hit. Since the patch, the mission generation system seems to be all screwed up.


Currently there is one dominant (80%) Federal faction, and several minors. Two of the minors (~7%) are at war with each other; one of these is also a Fed faction. There are several sustained conflict zones around the system.


Since the latest patch, there have been almost no missions being generated at any of the stations. There might be one or two, or there might be none at all, any time that I land and check in. This has been the case for days. Before the patch, I was seeing 4-12 missions per station, reliably, every time at any of the three stations in the system.


Also, when there is a mission available, it often makes no sense in the gameworld. One of the most common missions is sponsored by the dominant faction, and tells me to destroy authority ships in the system - the faction is trying to send me after their own ships. ?? This sort of thing really breaks the sense of a coherent political/universe model...

Please tell me that the mission system is getting revamped in V1.1...

Small problem in LTT7421

Hi

I don't know if I am the only person to experience the problem as detailed below:

When I jump from Ngaliba to LTT 7421, I crash into the White Dwarf Star LTT 7421A even though I am not facing it.

Unlike systems that have a Class M Star which is in your face as soon as you jump in, LTT 7421's Dwarf Star appears at the extreme left side of the screen and so does not seem to be of any danger to you, until suddenly, you have hit the star and have dropped out of hyper drive with all the damage that entails hitting something and stopping suddenly.

Is there a fix for this?

Regards,
Bytor

I am using version 1.07

 

[Nyres]

I had an unhandled object exception when trying to patch the game todya i had to leave the dialouge window up while the game patched and then let the launcher become non responsive before restarting and playing the game properly. Not sure if this is a none issue with updating.

It's not you, it's LT7421

Hi Bytor
You're not alone, I did that at LTT7421 about half an hour ago...limped off to another system and hey, there's a cargo run to LTT7421...er no thanks chaps.

 

[Klab]

The game froze about an hour ago, I had to Ctrl/Alt/Del to exit (nothing else would work). Since then I am unable to launch the game. All I get is a black window where the client launcher usually is. Anyone else had/having this problem. IF so what should I do?

 

[zverochert]

Cant finish mission

Cant finish "liberate slaves" mission. It does not appear at the bulletin board. Am i doing something wrong?

Spoiler

 

[ciger]

anyone experiencing issues with wanted status glitching? for a moment I am wanted in fed space, jump to independent system and bounty is set to dormant.
also i had a few accidents yesterday, so paid off my insurance and respawned with all my cargo still loaded - intended? i believe i lost all my cargo previously.

 

[Paithan]

Saw this when I arrived at this station, not sure if it's a bug but it sure looks like the lasers are comming through the hull of the station. Not very good for the hull integrity if you ask me...

[zverochert]

Many players experiencing wanted status bugs with 1.07. I got some bounty in Empire for killing a trader and could not pay it off at any station, but it just disappeared as i re-logged.

It seems 1.07 is most buggy version since official release .

[NUMBER SIX]

Bug report:
I have a FSD inhibitor and a Chaff launcher fitted.
The power is not enough for all modules when I deploy the weapons, so the FSD inhibitor is configured with priority 2, while the Chaff is prioritized as 1.

The issue is that the front display shows the Chaff launcher as low power and the inhibitor is still on-line when the weapons are deployed in combat.
However, the Chaff module is functional.

I have noticed this with the latest patch, before that, the same fitting was working fine.

anyone experiencing issues with wanted status glitching? for a moment I am wanted in fed space, jump to independent system and bounty is set to dormant.

I attracted a bounty and became wanted in LP 131-66 by accidentally hitting a clean ship. I jumped away and have tried to clear the bounty in several systems, but it doesn't appear under Contacts. If I return to LP 131-66 I am still showing as Wanted. Ticket submitted.

 

[Oddball]

Bought a type-7 from the founders world for 15,000,00 (with discount)
Thought I would try and sell it for a profit at another system for 17,000,000 (usual price).
When I sold it I only got 13,000,000 for a part exchange.

That is a loss of 4,000,000 credits! - That cannot be right.

[EDIT] I have spent all day trading just to get my money back.

 

[tasev1]

I have a bounty on my head in Empire space due to an accident. There is no port where I can pay this bounty (the contacts list is showing all clear), but the 5400cr bounty and a Wanted status is showing in my Status-Reputation page. Saving and logging off, then coming back in clears this bounty and removes any trend arrows.
​
​My status with the Empire is ALLIED, with a military rank of COUNT.

That is how it is supposed to be, friend. Resale value is only 90% of original purchase price. Selling ships is always a loss.

 

[beardsbn]

just had another type 7 explode for no reason no there players around

 

[Alkibiades]

the $stationname bug still happens.



and why is the other reward only 50% of the initial one?

Same thing happened to me, made sure I was in the correct station with the correct faction, but no option to clear the bounty was available. I cured it by logging off, waiting a while and then logging back in. Low and behold the bounty had vanished. Irritatiog though.
