Mauve & Black Adders, Crashes to desktop and black screens

Highlander71

Ever since the powerplay2 update I have been experiencing more crashes than I'm used to:

  • long pauzes before reaching the end of a jump to systems
  • black adder and mauve adder errors
  • black screens when changing from ship to surface, or vice-versa

The issue tracker seems to have no active issues regarding this.

Same here. I thought it was because nvidia driver updates though. Like it caching something on exit from ship. Picture appears solid ready now, while old days it was visible drawings.

Same here, and some weird behavior:

  • changed from foot to ship, black screen. Reloaded, got a crash sound and lost shield and got 5% hull damage
  • scanned 3 out of 6 exobiology, back to ship into supercruise, landed on another place, black screen, already scanned exo don’t show up in planet Information.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Fewer people there?

Not had any of these in the various PGs I have been playing in but currently all my play is in one system.

hmm , my personal experience has been just the opposite ^ . i have only been getting "crashes" ( connection errors or whatever ) if i've been in OPEN mode or in a PG.

So far, i have never crashed ( since 'Ascendency' update ) while in solo mode.

Could be RNG lucky. Who knows? -- Well, hopefully 'FDev' knows from server-logs & such , but it doesn't seem like they ever share such behind the code intel with community much?

Anyways, here's what i know: In the 6+ months since i started EliteD on PC, pre-Ascendency update , i only personally experienced 4 crashes/errors. Just 4. In 6 months.

Conversely, in the 2 weeks since Ascendency & PP2.0 update, i have already experienced 11 crashes/errors. Coincidence? And i'm also getting this very odd "stuttering" with graphics while flying sometimes, seemingly totally random and only lasts for a few seconds but is very noticeable. Not to mention the very strange ultra-lonnnnggggg hyper-space jump transitions/intervals jumping between STARS sometimes.

Put simply, the game just feels less stable post-Ascendency, for whatever reason(s) . And i'm really hoping a new hotfix/patch arrives next week.

also after hitting "continue" when loading the game from the launcher, it's the same 1 to 2 minute delay lag as the hyperspace jumps
and it's not related to "other players" "peak hours" or "server load"
it happens morning, noon, night, wee hours, sunrise, sunset 10pm 2am, 7am, 1pm, etc.

it seems suspiciously similar to aggressive ISP bandwidth throttling

For me it was most unstable during open. But that was last night. Tonight it was quick and solid as a rock.

Perhaps it doesn't matter in which mode you are, it just depends on how busy the servers are?

i have never had a quick and solid as a rock experience in over a month. This long lag stuff started a week or so before Ascendancy.

i do not use open at all ever.

Played last night with only the one black adder disconnect. It's an improvement (for me) but I'm hoping today's update will eliminate them altogether.

I got this too from time to time... mauve adder "error" message and a very long load time going from solar system to another...not all the time.

This is quite annoying. I have recently returned to the game and I have never had it this unstable. Perhaps with the return of players it would be nice if Fdev would invest in the servers.
