News Issue with extremely inflated mission rewards!

[Dale Emasiri]

Good evening everyone,

A quick update on the issue of high mission payouts. Please be aware that this issue is a known bug and the development team are currently working on a fix for this. Please be aware that as of now, accepting missions that are not Ram Tah or Long Range missions with a reward of over 30 million will result in a disconnection from the game. Accepting a Ram Tah or Long Range missions with a payout more than 100 million reward will also result in a disconnection.

Should anyone already have a mission of this payout value accepted but not handed in yet, the 30 million cap will be awarded on completion. We will be investigating any extremely inflated mission rewards that have been redeemed and action may be taken to reverse the effects of this bug.

Thanks for the quick formal response Dale.

I am getting Disconnected all the time now with 2 passenger missions. ;(

 

[Trinity Star]

Mission board has gone down now anyway.

 

[punkerich]

As much as i appreciate your efforts in fixing the mission payouts i'd like to see the same amount on effort getting the api back up...

So...something that wasn't fixed during beta? What is even the point of having a beta if you ignore bug reports?

99 little bugs in the code

Take one down, patch it around,
127 little bugs in the code.

To be honest, it was the highlight of 2.4 so far.

 

[Cageman]

Thanks!

I was like... What happened with this patch.

Still not in the game yet, but, looking at a bunch of screenshots from fellow CMDRs that are in the game made me cringe a bit.

I saw that at EGX over the weekend - it was funny then as well.

It's a good response when someone start complaining about "but WHY's IS the bUg nOT fIXed!?!"

 

[Marc_Hicks]

Actually, it was fixed during the beta....but has seemed to have reappeared. Ah, the "joys" of coding.

 

[Wishblend]

yep and I am expecting loads of that myself soon

 

[XCaliber]

It seems to be allowing me to travel now. No DC's for a while now.

in the case of passenger transport missions it proportional to station distance from star. I'm scanning the board and there are some missions with expected payouts and others of the same exact mission type that go to say Menusha with a 400 000+ ls terminal are huge listings like 70+ million.

Also check the extremely low paying transport missions between the old world and Colonia:

 

[Xelren]

Ok, so should we await hotfix at 3.0?

Should anyone already have a mission of this payout value accepted but not handed in yet, the 30 million cap will be awarded on completion.

So ... when can I had in my 111 Million Ram Tah Mission ? Assume we should wait until its fixed to get the full 111 mill reward. Assume this will be fixed as part of the wider mission reward fix and not just 'left' as 30 mill payout.

Must be a virus bug.
They change one dot and sneak in again.

You mean that I'm not going to get paid the 40,000 billion credits suggested?
