Hey

I have my main account all of the engineers are unlocked and grade 5... no probs

Started a second account with the intention of soley exploring but im waiting till next week before i 'Launch' in the meantime i wanted to see how much i could achive in a week and have started rattling of the engineers but i just got to Lei Chung and his 50+ Markets and im having an issue

No matter what i sell and where i sell it my Market Network figure and Commodities sold numbers will not go up. Ive tried buying and selling on the sport, rare goods, buying and selling from different economy types and always to systems i havent yet been with this account. Ive logged in and out to various game modes but the stats just dont update in either the right panel or the engineers page

Has something changed? Have i forgotten something from last time? as i said ive done this before without a problem but it just aint working.

Cheers

Not heard of that but I think there's been similar issues with The Dwellerr (wants 5 black markets). Similar reports of count not going up. Might be worth searching for how ppl have tried to get that to update?

I think the count does go up, it's just not displaying properly in the panel.
There was some kind of server update/refresh done that put the previous issue right.

It doesn't.

This was a bug a while back which was flagged by many people including myself, it got sorted out but is now back.

It worked for me though. Not saying it is not a bug - too many people have had a problem - just it doesn't seem to be universal.

Are we sure this is to do with "selling" rather than "buying" goods in 50 different markets? Or even that you have to "buy" and "sell" to be considered a trading in a new market? I did a lot of buying and selling.

I'll make some tea now...

I already added to that list this morning, it wasn't working for me last night up to about 8pm, i gave up and went off to complete some other bits. Someone else has mentioned that its working again so I'll have a look this after noon when i get back from work.

I guess 'bug' might be a stretch as it's, as you say, not happening to everyone.

The last time it appeared for me I was mining and selling one ton in different stations which was not registering at all so I experimented with selling 1t and buying 1t of a different commodity and selling that at the next station. That didn't work. So I then went to Empire space where I'd never done any trading just to make sure I wasn't inadvertently using markets I'd used before and that didn't work either.

It was only after bringing it to FDevs attention that something was done, dunno what though, and it then worked and I only needed to sell not buy and sell to increase the total.

It's not a big deal unless you're unlocking Lei Cheung but I suspect most players don't even notice it's happening to them. How many times does anyone check their market total? Pretty much never, I'd guess.

Edit: Just logged into the game and nothing's changed since last night. I sold 40t of Meta Alloys in one transaction two days ago which was over 3.2 million credits and that doesn't show up anywhere.

Many have and are having this problem, including myself. Magically today mine counted a few and I was able to unlock Cheung, but my stats are waaaaaaaay off, I guess they always will be now.

It's been so long since I've unlocked all the Engineers, I barely remember unlocking any of them...

I wasn't concerned with them at first, so I just flew around and did "things" - missions at different places, surface scavenging, smuggling, mining, and running missions, so by the time I actually started on the path of the Engineers, I'd already accomplished most of their prerequisites.

Similar issue here with the black markets - I've been to at least 7 or 8, but the numbers are stuck on 4 so I can't unlock the Dweller! (Already on the list in the linked thread.)

It's not still there, it's come back recently unfortunately like many bugs in Elite.

I can confirm my PC CMDR is stuck unlike my PS CMDRs which unlocked him years ago.

Are you sure it's a bug with the counting? Maybe it's a bug with some other aspect of the BGS.

Pick up a commodity from a station controlled by a faction you have never traded with before, take it 6+ systems away to a station control by a faction you haven't traded with before, maybe preferably a system with no presence by the previous faction.

It's a bug, I've tried making sure it's different factions. It's stopped counting.
