if you have the side panel screens locked onto a key, press it and then go to engineers...when you exit them you exit to the station screen and out of the lock. that is how i got out earlier tonight.
Missionboard crashes
- Thread starter fransoos
- Start date
Kind'a. For me, the screen hangs up. The keys still work so clicking around I can turn on silent-running and stuff, and even open up the side panels, but I can't escape/cancel the mission screen, and it's stuck in one view. Only way to unlock it is to exit the game to the menu and start again. It's very annoying. It's actually game breaking at this point. I can finish the mission I have, but how to get new ones when constantly hanging like this. I first got it when I filtered the missions for "Transport" and clicked on one faction with zero trade missions. It hung up there, and just 10 seconds ago, it hung up on a regular view of a factions missions. Super irritating.
Playing on PC, by the way.
And then the priority of modules is screwed up as well. sigh
The future does look rather grim indeed.
Maybe it's time for them to think about how they want to continue, the way they're doing things now clearly isn't the right one.
I almost feel sorry for them, this is so humiliating and embarrassing, on the other hand there's no one they can blame but themself.
The load of criticism that's being thrown at them right now is the result of their own doing.
I can't even imagine how the spirit is right now at Frontier, shame, anger, indifference?
I'm glad I've never had to deal with such situations where I worked, but then again we've never screwed up so badly either.
To be fair I don't think I've recently seen any game that had smooth patches without bugs. Elite is quite excessive but I guess that is the norm in the industry nowdays. Quite low norm.
Yeah, I said it before, it's amazing what gamedevs get away with compared to other commercial software markets.
It's also amazing how many game players take this for granted by the way.
Yeah! Bought a pretty pink cactus (Haven't the faintest clue why) and it bloody crashed the livery section AND deleted 26000 ARX instead of 6000.... what a wally (me)
Update... The missing ARX did reappear but the cactus has stayed too...... ho hum
Still not hotifxed...... This is a rather bad issue and its falling on deaf ear's (Oh sure, announced they know about it and..... <Crickets>) but sheesh. "Subpar-tember" update has been a real downer, so many issues. If this doesnt say "Test Server for Updates" I don't know what does, But I am sure we shall see a "hotfix to fix the hotfix, to fix the hotfix", you see the pattern here!
Thanks for letting us know that we aren't floundering on our own in the dark. Much appreciated.
Could I just quietly add my voice to the cacophony of screaming and say that it might be a good idea in the future to be aware of it BEFORE you post an update? I get that you can't anticipate every problem, but fundamental bugs like this creep in with every patch. It makes us addicts grumpy when you take our crack pipes away.
Sad but true. I know people who can get unfairly banned in other game and next week reroll and buy half of the cash shop in return
I have to try that trick.
Oh, their soft-lock is coming! Just a matter of time!
I'm REALLY not looking forward to the December ''Fleet Carriers'' update we'll probably get ''Pong-in-space'' what with all the nowadays guaranteed ''bugs''... and what the 2020 update will manage to do ...doesn't bear thinking about with the ways things are sliding down the slippery slope!!!
I've been onboard since ''Alpha'' but I don't think I'll be around for the ''Omega''
lol Only been playing a month. It's so good! Except when it's not... Been to Colonia and back already which was a blast, but encountering the grind big time now just to get a ship, engineer it so I can play. I've researched what is ahead (Power play which seems to make my current grind look like actual play) and keep running into bug after bug, some of which are still around since the game was released I think, the devs not even acknowledging them. Common sense is telling me to quit now and save myself endless angst, but... it's SO GOOD! (Except when it's not)I've been onboard since ''Alpha'' but I don't think I'll be around for the ''Omega''
What grind is there to power play exactly? Its not like you get anything unique out if it besides the modules. Even then its 3 weeks of waiting and 5 minutes of moving merits. Not exactly what I call intensive.
Only know what I've heard mate. Never done it. I assume you are talking about "buying" it though which would still involve grinding for the credits to do so. Even then there's still all the hauling and then doing it all again week after week as your progress is halved. Sounds pretty grindy to me.
It takes about 7.5 million credits to buy the merits needed for level 3. It literally will take you more time to buy them than to actually earn that kind of money, its pocket change. And you only have to do it once, buy the modules you want, and your done. Minus the wait the whole process takes little over an hour at most
Now if you want to do power play as a THING then yeah I guess, its a grindy and ultimately pointless endeavor even within the context of a video game. Some people enjoy it though.
In several locations (Xbox), mission board locks up and can only get back into game via engineers menu and back in through station services!
Never has the contents of that "open letter" been more relevant!
Thank you. Bookmarked your post for future reference.
RamboJambo is going to be sooo happy!
