I Thought They Fixed the Bounties Bug? I'm Not Getting Any Credits for Killing Wanted

Therris · Dec 22, 2014

Just shot up over 70K worth of bounties and nothing changed in transactions tab.... game breaker. I thought they fixed this? Certainly it has to be an extremem high-priority bug.

Can someone link me to a pre-existing mega-thread on this bug? There has to be one if others are experiencing it, and I seem to remember seeing one at one point.

When was this? Right now? Last night I cashed 40K of bounties and they showed up allright
Stupid question, I suppose you know the value because they flashed up in the top right monitor, correct?

Just now.

Friend of mine just killed 150k worth of Bounties only to check his transaction tab to find none of them registered. Is this something server side? They were working fine last night.

I`ve been bouncing "wanteds" whilst exploring systems and slowly making my way to Aulin in search of the fabled C3 Gimballed Multi Cannon. Cashed in about 50k of Bounties enroute. So it seem to be working for me.

edit: That was this afternoon. I`ve just noticed the Server is offline at the moment, so perhaps there is a bug and a quick fix is due.

Sometimes this doesn't update immediately when checking the transaction tab, but they always appear for me if I flip to another tab and then back again.

Try this go to check on your bounties on the left HUD. If they don't show look ahead then look back and wait for a second or two to show up. Happens to me all the time. I just took down almost 200k of bounties and only some showed up, I did my trick and they showed up.

Same here. it has a delay also it appears and disappears in the transactions.

I know exactly what you are talking about and I've done that before a bunch to fix it. This is different. Doing bounties the past hour, nothing is coming up. Tried logging in and out, nothing.

Also make sure its not being added to current bounties, I am working far from Alliance space and took out an aggressor in an Anarchy system and when checking the panel I expected another value to be added for Empire or Federation and not Alliance. I know it may not be the case in this instance, but sometimes the simplest things...

Also that you are in the correct controlling faction station for the bounty collection

It's definitely happening to a lot of people, but just wait for the forum goers to tell you that it's a non issue like every other bug. I had it happen to me this morning as well so I know your pain.

Ha...ok, enough of the "Did you try turning it off and on again?" responses please. We are in Anarchy space using K-Warrent Scanners. Nothing is being counted. We are well well aware you can claim bounties from different systems. Currently I am able to get bounties just fine but my friend is not.

Doctor_Demento · Dec 22, 2014

I've been pretty lucky. Most of mine show up. I've only had like 2 or so not ever show up to get paid for. Not sure what makes one person have no problem and others a lot. Could be a certain unknown factor or it could be random. I just really don't know at this point.

TheArtist · Dec 22, 2014

Theres only a note in the 1.03 changelog that they further review this issue.
And YAY - no patch today! Just great!

Mine were definitely slow showing up earlier today, not that it mattered - tried to boost into the station to avoid a security scan, forgetting that Cobras take a long while to slow. Duh..

Be surprised if we get a new patch before New Year to be honest, especially as they often need a patch to fix the last patch....

You know we are just trying to help.

-rep in Return.

And by the way, next time I see you asking for any help maybe people won't be so forthcoming, although I was not answering your query rather the OP.

DraigUK · Dec 23, 2014

Last time this occurred powering down cargo scanner (or removing it) helped a bit.

Larac · Dec 23, 2014

I am sure most will tell you
1. Your doing it wrong
2. Working as it should
3. No big deal stop picking on FD

Good luck on a fix.

korsobar · Dec 23, 2014

I am having a problem with bounties that made it into the transaction tab now being uncollectable. I show 160k fed bounties and when I go to fed stations I see nothing to redeem. Anyone else getting that one?
