Seems they are STILL NOT FIXED! Landed at settlement - put power reg in, no update, so took power reg out, went into SC, mission still said I was at settlement. Relogged and mission still said I was at settlement, went into SC, returned to base, no update, put power reg back in - no update. They are NOT fixed. Watch the video proof.

Nobody said they would be. (most other types, yes)

Sorry, went back to double check. They should be. They're probably back to where they were before, where the mission status gets pushed out of existence when you disembark. The fix for that is to board and disembark again.

Ok, no, that is quite different. That is actually stuck at arrival (when you most definitely have not arrived, or did you try to reset the settlement?).

Sadly this is not a unique occurrence. I have had this happen another 3 times today. Missions issued today which are uncompletable due to the target faction being in an economic state that shuts down their settlements meaning it becomes impossible to find faction members.

@sallymorganmoore the reported issue is https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/44156 - which has been confirmed by a number of developers but not sure it meets the threashold. It is clearly a bug in the mssion giver algorithm, which will impact the reputation of any commander taking those missions.

"
Some precise reports included:
  • Scavenger Mission issues:
    • "No Mission Update on arrival, No mission bar in top right of HUD, No Scavengers."
  • Reactivation missions cannot be completed:
    • "The particular type is: 'Turn on power at... - no flames, no bodies" (look at me using "Commander quotes" from my notes here).
    • "No mission progress, no mission indication in the HUD."
  • Restore missions failing to progress:
    • "Land at the target settlement, no progress."

Today at approximately 11:30 UTC we will be rolling out a fix for these issues in the form of a server update.
Unfortunately it won't be a "stealth rollout" (where the servers don't need to come offline), so"

So the last sentence was they would be rolling out a fix for them - Pretty sure someone said something about fixing them. Read the 1st post.

Yep, went back into sc, logged out and back in.

Ok, I actually just had similar circumstances to your video, however... I got the mission to progress anyway.

First, yes, once you arrive, that's it, you have arrived (whether you leave or not, you have arrived). That just doesn't change.
The problem I had was I arrived, got the mission status box (as one should), went to turn on the power, put out the fires in the power building, then noticed I had no mission status box. "Great". Turned off the power, retrieved the regulator, supercruised out and back (mission still said arrived while I was in SC, thought I'd see how things went anyway).
Got back to the settlement, mission status was saying I needed to engage power (as I had hoped), but shortly after arriving, it disappeared again. Fortunatly, I noticed, got on my ship, then disembarked again: mission status was back as expected, and it stayed put this time. I was able to finish the mission normally.

My surprise at the sequence of events in your video was due to me never having noticed the "you have arrived" being constant.

Greetings Commanders o7

More prominently over the last couple of days, you have been sharing reports of some odd happenings around missions failing to complete or be acknowledged when embarking on them in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey. The team have investigated deeper into the situation and discovered a mix of legacy issues around mission scripts and some new since Update 8.

Some precise reports included:
  • Scavenger Mission issues:
    • "No Mission Update on arrival, No mission bar in top right of HUD, No Scavengers."
  • Reactivation missions cannot be completed:
    • "The particular type is: 'Turn on power at... - no flames, no bodies" (look at me using "Commander quotes" from my notes here).
    • "No mission progress, no mission indication in the HUD."
  • Restore missions failing to progress:
    • "Land at the target settlement, no progress."

Today at approximately 11:30 UTC we will be rolling out a fix for these issues in the form of a server update.
Unfortunately it won't be a "stealth rollout" (where the servers don't need to come offline), so

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey servers (only) will be offline for a brief duration (no more than a few minutes).

​

​
Known Issues:
Once again, a little nod to the immediate known issues post Update 8 and a few others (please note that there are obviously more individual experience reports coming in which aren't listed here, of course - this doesn't mean that all of those suddenly don't count. Just making a top level short list to keep minds at ease.
  • Hatch Breakers: "When using a Hatch Breaker Limpet on any Cargo Hatch or Escape Pod on a non-dockable megaship an error occurs".
  • Strange behaviour around Unrestricted Access areas acting Restricted.
    • Instances of Commanders being attacked for being in a Restricted Areas, but the area was not restricted.
  • Facilities list in System Map is appearing blank (all platforms).
  • Delayed loading of stations (pop!)
  • "Backward Engine Trails".
  • Noted for investigation: An issue with premium ammo on Hammer Gauss Cannons and incorrect damage increase.
Again - I've read lots over the last few days so if the one you've poked me on isn't here, it's only because a known issues list in a post like this to put all of your feedback in would be mega.



Thanks again for your support with feedback, Commanders!

Some of this issues with the missions still happen

Centralis, Hale Metallurgic Station - mission to exterminate scavengers, but some scavengers missing. Tried the mission several times, the number of scavengers gone missing may vary, but at each attempt there were some missing. Might be related to the fact that one ship supposed to be dropping the scavs got stuck in the terrain, always at the same spot

Viper dropship stuck in ground, one can see the vertical thrusters lit
Also, on a side note - having the stars zooming to bloated bubbles is quite disturbing (no fused as much by the entire image zoom, but... stars...)

Same system, restore mission (turn on power) did not progress - as in no mission box at landing: Centrals, Deshpande's Burrow

Edit: for what is worth, the mission failures mentioned above happened to my Epic alt account
Edit2: other restore missions before and after the one in Centralis progressed as expected, so it may be limited to that particular settlement in Centralis

Edit3: @sallymorganmoore definitely there is something fishy with the drop off points for Scavengers at this settlement layout

Olanrewaju Deposits, Alberta - around this settlement the terrain is a bit flatter and i could witness the dropships dropping the scavs - terrain being flatter, the dropship didnt got stuck in terrain.
One of the ships dropped them like 600+ meters away from the settlement (i nailed them at about 530m from settlement's marker)

Six poor scavs laying around about 531m from the Settlement. Guess they were not exactly happy with their Dropship Pilot

It seems this issue has came back from the grave. The mission description has detected that I have arrived at the settlement, but there's no mission progression indication in the HUD. I've already rebooted this settlement and extinguished all fires twice using my stash of power regulators.

Yeah, I had a digital infiltration mission last night where the mission just didn't mark as complete when I uploaded the data to the data port it told me to.

The only 2 settlements in this system controlled by this faction are both in "BUST" state meaning they're abandoned therefore mission can't be completed.
