Galaxy map commodity filter not working?

[Mikkel Toxwenius]

I can't make commodity filter work in the galaxy map. No matter what I try to do nothing happens, no trade routers, no moving red 'blops' indicating export/import routes.

Video is me trying to use the filter, as you can see nothing seems to change at all... :/

Am I missing something, or is it a bug? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Interesting cause i suffer the same problem since 1.04 .
I already made a ticket for it cause it was working flawless until 1.03 .

It's annoying because it would be pretty helpful for example if you wanted to locate a place that sells personal weapons for those naval progression missions.

I submitted a ticket too, since I saw a Youtube video showing it actually working. I haven't really tried fiddling with the filter before except right in the beginning I tried clicking some stuff and seeing it not do anything at all, I just left it alone. I just figured that the filter feature was not finished by FD yet.

I've had exactly the same issue - ultimately had to abandon a mission to grab a dozen Microbial Furnaces because I couldn't find a single world that sold them. It was the first time I'd attempted to use the commodity filter (that is - or rather would be - a really handy feature I was completely ignorant of) so I wasn't sure if I simply wasn't using it properly or if it was indeed broken. I'll submit a ticket.

It's a game issue. I had to create a batch file to delete this file before each game session:

C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Player\Custom.misc

Just deleting the custom.misc corrects the issue per session. Don't delete *.misc since there is a template file in there.

Oh man, so THAT is my issue? That stupid file is also the reason why I can't disable/enable any of the functions in the 'Functions' tab in the right UI panel. I have to delete the custom.misc file before everytime I load up Elite if I wan't to use those functions. It's a hassle to do it each time so I usually don't. Nice idea with the batch file; I'll use that so that it both starts the launcher and deletes the custom.misc file .

EDIT: I made the batch file, if anyone could use it here it is (use at your own risk!!). Replace the ... with your own local paths:

@echo off
CD /D ...\Users\...\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Player\
ECHO.
ECHO deleting Custom.misc
ECHO.
del Custom.misc
CD /D ...\EDLaunch\
ECHO.
ECHO Launching Elite: Dangerous Launcher
ECHO.
START "" "EDLaunch.exe"
TIMEOUT /t 6 > nul

Awesome, this worked for me. I've been hunting around in the game thinking I'd somehow disabled that view or that I was just missing something obvious. It's crucial for mission that need a specific commodity.

Yeah me too. Good info thanks

Appreciate your efforts .
Will try it out in a few hours .

+1 for both of you .
