Is anyone else still having an issue with the data link scanner? I haven't been able to get it to work, not even in beta. I target the data link, switch to turret, hit the button and nothing happens. I've tried swapping fire groups (i.e. making it primary fire, secondary fire, creating a whole new firegroup). I have it mapped - in fact, I have it mapped to two separate buttons (one on keyboard and the other on controller). I just can't get the darn thing to work.... What's it supposed to do?

Can we get a fix for the bug that is affecting the pitch controls for the SRV?

When using a controller, trying to set the pitch for the SRV always stays in the default position for the left stick. It dioes not matter if you invert the axis or if you pre-set the sticks to work the pitch as you want it. It always stays with push up to lift the nose of the buggy and pull back to dip the nose of the buggy - the default setting.

It does not feel natural. Please fix this bug as it makes contolling the buggy very difficult when using the thrusters.

I have had this issue as well, fix for me was to invert the controls, save, then toggle inversion again, save, and then set the inversion to whatever feels natural for you. Looks like the settings are not properly initialized when not set once.

AFAIK it's not a 'free ship' just means that it is unlocked for you, you still have to pay credits for it.

Actually sir it was a free issue. I found mine on Founders when I logged in this morning. All I had to do was outfit it to suit my needs and it was nice to fly around in and I went to SOL system for a spin. Ran the buggy around on IO and CALISTO and then flew it home.

Yes I seem to be having the same issue. I see a rock I should be able to shoot and I can't make it explode. In beta testing it worked but not any more.

Don't know if it's a bug or not, but I was approaching a hazardous RES last night and the rings of the gas giant were blindingly bright, will this be fixed? or at least dimmed a bit?

I noticed that too - flying by ice rings around a planet near a star, and the glare was very noticeable. I actually though it was a pretty cool effect. My only slight beef with it was the aura/bloom (don't know what to call it) actually seemed a bit square rather than round.

Hello Commanders,

This morning we have a quick update going out. The servers will go offline at 3PM UTC and will return within the hour. Below is the changes for this update...


  • Fix a render crash with schematics
  • Remove debug version string
  • Cannot target anything when in ship vicinity fixed
  • The following controls should now work when near a ship.
    • All other targeting buttons (cycling, next hostile, sub target, wings etc)
    • Cargo scoop lowering
    • Shield toggle and stabilize
  • Poll the state of module perks to notice when they go from No Effect to Available, and refresh the synthesis UI page
  • Allow Mac users to use Micro Resources that were previously gathered using their Horizons-enabled commander on Windows
  • Fixed some mission string substitution errors

Thanks!

I'm having this issue too, I target the correct datalink and in turret the secondary fire (which is set to the correct thing, Data scanner) does absolutely nothing. I had tried it once in the beta and it did the same thing but I just assumed I had my controls mis-set but now it seems I can't interface with these datalink things.

Thanks FD.

Just to +1 some stuff: I'd say my personal priorities are:

  • Fix the datalink scanner / deploy weapons issue (This is surely horrid for anyone playing who hasn't read up the forums)
  • Fix the SRV getting stuck in reverse all the time. (Makes SRV driving a pain if you have forward only throttle)

There is currently an issue where the datalink scanner doesn't deploy by itself. You have to have "Deploy Hardpoints on Fire" turned on for it to work.

Are the rank progression bars working correctly? I've done a few hours of charity donation missions for the federation and I'm still at 0% - My current rank is Post Commander.

I was hoping you fixed the Data Link scanner, not firing by default.

The ONLY way I've seen that makes it work is having "Firing Deploys Hardpoints" set on. The deploy hard points button doesn't do anything.

You do have to target a "thing" e.g. a rock or stone you can at least pick as a target. After you targeted it, hold your scanner determined button until scan is done and you are fine.
After that shoot the rock in "pieces". Open cargo hatch drive over the debris and you will pick up some goods. THE SCANNER DOESENT WORK WITHOUT A TARGET!!!

Cool.

Yesterday I had a day off of work and I couldn't play due to the update.

Today I just got out of work and had 1h to play and the update happens exactly in that hour.

Are you trying to keep me from playing? lol

- No. They know about this in the bugs list. Apparently it's only the progress display, the actual value is still ticking away.

thanks for removing the version string, ironic how it bugged the hell out of me yet i place twitch chat and all sorts of rubbish over my hud normally!

keep getting missions for places that dont exist, overheating when topgun flying, 0% rank progress, orbital cruise sweet spot sound effect gets stuck when scooping fast(rare) aware most are being dealt with.

well impressed the speed i got my steam key, big thanks!!

BUT!!

is there any word/hint of nvidia driver/experience coming out soon?
