Notice Fleet Carrier Update - Known Issues

[AJH16]

it might have to do something with the procedural generation doesn't allow for a realistic rollback path. though i'm no expert on this stuff

Unlikely, procedural is by nature reproducible given the seed. That's the entire point to a procedural system. It's why you and I can experience the same environment generated on our machines. I went in to more detail in another post, but almost certainly the persistent data schema is the bigger issue. If they had to apply changes to the database that stores what players have done, it may be difficult to reverse that, especially without wiping out new actions that have been taken since. Do you undo a day of work for people that have been able to play? That doesn't make any sense if you think you have a reasonable handle on fixing the biggest issues in a timely manner.

Couldm't buy a carrier. Went to a new station, logged off and on, uninstalled/restarted/reinstalled, nothing worked. then, I decided to think like the DBA I am. How do I change my account to unlock it? So I sold cartography data, which changed my reputation, and was able to buy a carrier on my next attempt. Odd.

Fix those rotten ship kits and paint.

 

[wrmiller]

I can't even boot the game. Says 'no authentication server' or some such. Wow...

Interesting. I'll give that a shot and see if I can reproduce. I tried a few other attempts at getting state changes on the ID it was sending to get out of whatever odd locked up state it's in, but I haven't tried cartographics yet.

Update: Apparently I can't sell the cartographic data I currently have... More to investigate...
Update 2: Even more interesting, after getting 3 systems out, I don't have a record on my jump history of having been in the system where I was trying to buy the FC...

Update 3: Obtaining new cartographic data let me sell the old, but I still couldn't buy an FC. Destructing in a sidewinder didn't fix it either.

glad i got this at a discount - didn't realize you were going to totally screw the entire community - there's probably thousands of help pages out there that are invalid now. feel free to delete this - you won't be getting another dime from me.

That's bizarre. Well it's a good thing Universal Cartographics is also broken for a lot of people right now yikes

The IDs are 1600684 and 1601112 and have been reported by multiple users on the forums as being the IDs in their verbose logs.
Plaintext error response: {"status":403,"message":"Helper\\FleetCarrier::spawnCarrier Failed to spawn Fleet Carrier 1601112 because we are already spawned"}

Yup. Mine cites 1600684. Good sleuthing.

Adding Sirius Atmospherics to missing POI's list.
Tysm for being onto this so quickly.

Those two things are likely related. If I still can't sell cartographic when I get back, I'm buying a sidewinder and blowing my self up next to wipe my ship inventory state.

I love automation and building these kinds of systems, so honestly, I've probably had more fun digging in to the issue than I would have had jumping my FC around and getting all my ships and modules loaded on to it...

Tried buying one on Skeggiko-O at KUO Terminal. FLEET CARRIER PURCHASE FAILED Something went wrong..............PG Black Adder, Tried again and again. Black Addered. Tried in SOLO Black Addered. Tried again in OPEN. Black Adder. Dammit Frontier fix your sodding game so we can buy one. I even shut down game and client and tried again in all modes and NOTHING! BLACK ADDER!!! Useless this is.

 

[CMDRHammre]

Tried selling some data, black adder. Tried doing a donation mission, black adder. I'm convinced it will take intervention by FDev.

 

[Heavy Johnson]

Yep, this in my netlog now:

Plaintext error response: {"status":403,"message":"Helper\\FleetCarrier::spawnCarrier Failed to spawn Fleet Carrier 1600684 because we are already spawned"}

 

[Heavy Johnson]

Only 2.5 hrs of retries here, but 100% black adder so far. Tried jumping out and into system, open, private, and solo, even even changing ships and trying with and without a VPN. All just black adder.

Same here... hours of trying....

 

[ifiwereyou]

I tried 2 systems. One of them had space to fit carriers. More than 30 times I tried, everytime I had a black adder error after purchasing and get kicked out of game.

 

[Bartizan]

It's a good thing they delayed this for so many months to get it right.

From reading these reports I've found that if the ID # is the same as the last time you tried, your ed. Mines been the same all day!

Throwing something in here to see if anyone else has had this problem. Went to link up with a member from squadron, first in Open and then in PG, we never saw each others wing invites. When they sent me one, I received the notification on my ED Discovery, but nothing on my Comms panel. When they got to the system I am in (Juenae XE-D B27-15), we weren't put into an instance together, our sensors never picked each other up. Wing invites still failed. We landed on one of the planets in system, they gave me their coordinates, I steered to them; even right on top. Still nothing. We both exited the game and restarted our PCs. Then we logged into my PG together. Once the game loaded, we checked our contacts and visually, still nothing.

pathetic.
