Elite Dangerous | Cobra MK V Update - 12 December 2024

Downloaded & in the game without issue (so far!).

My carrier still only has 40 ship storage slots so presumably every station with a shipyard will now sell an extra ship.
 
Anyone else having update issues?
Stuck at 34%, cancelled install after 30mins.
Tried repair/validate files. Stuck at 34% again. Cancelled validate files after a long time.
Uninstall.
Reinstall. Stuck at 34% again now for 15mins.

First ever time I've had install issues in 10 years. Anyone got any tips?

Edit@ Unchecked Virtual Cache in the installer and that doesn't help.

Rather than reinstall, try validate files.
 
A fix has been implemented to resolve a number of issues related to carrier bartender transactions. However, transaction errors may still be encountered in some specific cases, please report any instances via the issue tracker and we will continue to investigate. https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/67143
What exactly did this "fix" consist of?? I still cannot transfer any Odyssey items of any kind to or from my carrier... and it looks like I'm not the only one.

Still Odyssey mats transfer error after update
 
Clear the Internet Cache (Temporary Files, not the same as the Windows Temporary files) via the Windows Drive Cleanup Tool (type 'clean' in Windows search to find the tool). Worked every time for me.

The updater uses WinInet and that cache can lead to files not properly updated/re-downloaded.

O7,

are you low on HDD space? It's quite a big update.
And some of the space it wants is in the per-user profile, which is usually on your Windows partition. So don't be thinking you have room just because your Steam partition has 500GB free.

Try disabling Defender before another attempt - or excluding the directory where your install is.

Maybe we should have an "if your install gets stuck" Sticky in the PC forum?

My FC only show 40 also... And checked for an extra ship at Stronghold FC, Regular station, and Jameson Memorial... Not finding any extra ship available to purchase or space to store an extra ship, no idea what the extra ship thing means.
 
I tried selling some silver I had bought cheap and stored on my carrier to a station in a system we're trying to reinforce. (Sell at large profit).
I got no merits, anyone else having the same issue? Selling goods bought but not stored at carrier reportedly works, havn't had time yet myself to try either that or buying something new after the update, storing it and then selling it.
