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!
