Please fix the module malfunction bug,again, tonight my ship practically self destructed before i even deployed weapons, all heat sinks gone and other various modules melted to zero including fsd. Imo this bug is rearing its ugly head more and more frequently. Forget engineer's and more bugs just fix the dozens of really annoying bugs that have plagued the game for donkeys and as for instancing...grrrrrrr
Module malfunction,,, give us a break
- Thread starter Jimeoren
- Start date
Gotta agree with Kerrash, don't see any commonly listed or known bugs on this when I searched just now.
If you can elaborate and explain the sequence of events, possibly your ship build on a shipyard app like this: http://coriolis.io/
Things that pop into my head:
Do you have enough power to run your ships equipment? If not it all disengages when you deploy hardpoints unless you set power priorities up.
Was this when you were under attack? If enemies get direct hits on thrusters or powerplant etc it degrades their functionality and can cause malfunctions like mis-fires and stuff.
Did you die or just stop being able to do anything?
Honestly never heard of this so I'm interested and want to try and help. Given it's not in the bug-reporting forum the best way to show this is to take a quick vid of the event ideally with your right hand modules panel (one with all the thrusters etc listed) showing as it all goes wrong. Screenshots as Kerrash mentioned are also very very useful at diagnosing.
Give us the data and we should be able to say if it's a bug or not. If it is truly a bug (very possible) then this needs to be reported since it currently isn't being addressed as it seems very few people experience it.

Sounds like a power management issue not a bug.
Sounds like the bug reported by several people where they are suddenly massively "overheating" WITHOUT having Silent Running On. AFAIK it isnt real overheating as the PP can be heavily damaged, and heat doesnt touch the PP.
Not had it myself, but respectable and competent people (like Ziggy ?) have fallen victim

You guys haven't had that bug before? Suddenly, all your modules start dropping in health, without any overheating or actually doing anything, you just see their percentage dropping down constantly. This might just happen after you got some heat damage and then something gets stuck,not sure. But while it's happening you don't get any warnings or anything, only restarting the game helps.
Doesn't seem to be too common of a big, but not nice when it happens..

Were you carrying bio-waste or an Unknown Artifact? They decay your modules.
This bug I have encountered also. It somehow always materialises in conjunction with or after intake of alcoholic beverages. It is very odd indeed. I was thinking of submitting a ticket, but something keeps me from doing that.
Bug goes away after copious amounts of coffee.

No, no cargo at all. And it's constant, everything is at zero after a minute or so. It's a bug.
This is my build from last nighthttp://coriolis.io/outfit/federal_assault_ship/26B6A5A5A6A4A4Cpa2bihih020202022d2d2b296b27.Iw18cQ==.CwBj5AmbIRn2ZGiA?bn=Merit%20grinder.. The sinaro was... Big win fight kicks off, i nav lock a wing member,drop in,head towards the fight and bam ... Whole heap of module malfunctions before i even pop into silent running or fire a shot,, no one is shooting me. I know the fas isnt the best at heat management but this a VERY ANNOYING glitch leaves you dead in the water, sit there,wait for my wing to kill everything before i relog t try n save my ship (dont want t b accused of combat logging by a destroyed salty wing). I do have this particular event on vid but my upload speed is dia here and would have to upload from another location.
Thargoids! They sneaked on your ships! ;-)
I think this video should be a good example of the bug

It sounds like its desync. You desync and sit still some where and npc/station or other player kills you (or you sc to star etc.).
Edit:
After watching that video i am sure its desync. Game think that you are blocking the station exit and attack you. Or someone in your instance is hacking (if in open).

Oh wow, thats pretty intense on that video!
I am glad I've not experienced that, I take it all back that's insane and needs to be fixed! Hopefully Devs in 2.1 have a fix because just wow!

First time I have seen that
I assume you have raised a ticket and included this video?

Do you know, considering how many people apparently know about this bug it's slightly surprising there are no bug reports for it. Not as surprising as having a go for a bug that's not been reported having not been fixed.
Tried it, nothing. You get a few percent back, immediately starts degrading again.
