ANNOUNCEMENT Fleet Carrier Update - Game Maintenance

[Old Duck]

Apparently by letting them fail, tanking your rep and inf you were trying to build, and by having a good laugh at your expense before breaking the mission board totally.

There are days when I can't see how the white knights can defend FDev

I'll defend FDev - anybody who takes on missions right before or after an update (the date of which was announced months ago) is a dummy.

Seriously, you should have known better.

 

[Amy Pendergast]

Yeah, absolutely now missions anywhere....

Another question: In VR the ships GUI seems to have been "stretched" to the left and right. I now have to move my head to read the labels of my mountpoints in the hud, I don't seem to remember that from earlier???

As harsch and ironic that is - I have to subscrib to this wisdom here

Can we have the "Blue Bookmarks" back???

Yes, i agree.
Poor Orange colors bookmark, route, wing, fleetcarrier etc.
Please give back blue bookmark!

 

[Harley Quinn]

Yes it is unfortunate that RL got in the way of me finishing things related to elections and wars which don't stop for patch day.

FWIW it shouldn't be that way, just like the road I drive shouldn't be full of potholes, but it is so we have to adjust our "driving" accordingly.

Did you try this?

Notice - PC Commander update - Known error 'Invalid Machine ID'

Greetings Commanders, It’s possible that some PC players may initially have problems logging into the Fleet Carriers Update. If you experience an error message regarding Invalid Machine ID’s, please make sure you perform the following steps: Open the Launcher Click Options -> Log Out Machine...

Unfortunatly I tried it already and no sucess.
Things that I'm registering is when I close the launcher steam continues saying that it is running.

What may have broken it was buying engine and weapon colors right after the Fleet Carrier Update. (just a guess)

UPDATE - 15:35 UTC
The maintenance is now complete, thanks for your patience!

UPDATE - 15:10 UTC

The maintenance has started as planned at 15:00 and is expected to last around an hour, finishing at 16:00 UTC.

Greetings Commanders,

Yesterday we launched the Fleet Carriers update. Thank you to all the Commanders who have shared issues you've faced so far. To address the key ones, we are planning maintenance later today at 15:00 UTC which will require some downtime, expected to last up to an hour. This post describes the key issues we intend to resolve during this downtime.

Missions
Some Commanders had their missions removed unexpectedly. This especially affected Commanders undertaking longer missions. We will restore missions from before the update to minimise the impact on players. Due to the structure of the missions system, this means that any missions taken after the update will disappear. We'll implement this in a way to make this as fair as possible - more details will be shared on this after the maintenance.

Powerplay
Un problème de serveur signifiait que les commandants pouvaient avancer injustement rapidement leur puissance choisie. Connaissant l'importance de Powerplay pour bon nombre de nos joueurs les plus expérimentés, nous avons soigneusement réfléchi aux étapes à suivre. En tant que tel, nous avons décidé de faire reculer le système Powerplay pour annuler les effets de la perturbation. Cela signifie que Powerplay reviendra à son état d'avant la mise à jour. Cette décision a été prise dans l'intérêt de maintenir le fair-play dans toute la communauté.

Sites manquants
La même interruption de serveur a provoqué un problème selon lequel des sites tels que Dav's Hope, le site de crash Jameson, les sites Guardian, etc. n'étaient pas présents après la mise à jour. Ceux-ci seront restaurés progressivement tout au long de la journée, le gros étant rajouté après le temps d'arrêt.

Merci pour tous vos retours! Veuillez continuer à utiliser l' outil de suivi des problèmes et à partager tout nouveau problème sur le fil des problèmes connus .

Merci pour votre compréhension,

L'équipe Elite Dangerous

Well, I just started to play the game again a few days ago after a 2 years break and I had no idea that the update was coming nor I had any idea that taking on missions can be a dumb idea for whatever reason so thank you for enlightening me, really. Silly me, what was I thinking?? Taking on missions before browsing forums, announcements and known problems regarding missions first for a few hours?! How dumb of me....

 

[basalt]

While no missions available just went out to HiRez and got my kicked while the Feds watched on. Was really strange and kind of delightful in a masochistic kind of way. I'm no space cowboy but turns out I'm worse than I remember. Managed to limp out of there with my false pride intact. Not sure if the Feds not engaging was a bug but I'd not seen it like this before so thought I'd comment on it.

 

[Retropolitan]

New missions exist again.

 

[Amy Pendergast]

And the missing orbit line problem in VR in FSS mode is back No Missions, no usable FSS, BGS borked, I think I'll count my losses and have it for today.

As miffed as it sounds, but at least in this regard FDev is absolutely reliable: Mayor updates always were and seem to always will be bugfests and patch odysseys...

This. Recently jumped back in after not playing for about 3-4 years, only found out about the update due to reddit and only came on the forums cause of the massacre on the missions

Okay, this seems just to happen in some systems, but can't reproduce it anymore, wiered

So did this mean that there will be details coming about how post-update missions will be fairly handled now that they've disappeared? Or are we just out off tens of millions of completed mission?

 

[Harley Quinn]

apparently if completed and cashed in, you retain the rep, cash etc. If waiting to be cashed in, I have no idea

The ones completed but not yet handed in. That's the part I was looking for clarification on.

 

[Urbansparx]

Space traffic control still missing. Off to the issue tracker.

 

[Shir]

Í have first mapped a few planets and sold the data to a carrier as a guest. While the discovered tags work fine, the mapping ones don't appear, even after hours. Anyone knows if that has been fixed?

 

[Da Twin]

Are we able to be greeted at Starports again? It's a nice touch. Hate to see it removed.
