Powerplay: Delay of Informations

[Chero]

Hello dear Frontierengineers,

the delay between posting some PowerPlay-Stuff onto a station, and the visibility all over the galaxy seems to raise and become really unpredictable and frustating. In the last week I waste a lot of time and resource only because the real numbers in the powerplay overview are not correct, sometimes with a delay of around 5-15 Minutes. So I make decisions based on wrong Informations. This weakness leads to frustration, frustration to rage, rage to quitting ...

Did you plan to fix this?

May the power be with you,
Cmdr Chero

Indeed, if nothing else it needs to have a forced update to the client cache when you dock at the station in question. Preferably when you arrive in the system in SC.

For now you can at least 'sell' just one item into a station to ensure you have an accurate view of the state of things like Fortify versus Undermining. It's only a workaround for what is a real issue though.

This really needs to be in the Bug Report forum.

Server not Client Delay

Thank you for your idea of a client cache issue. I 've tried it, with no effect. I 've tried even different OS (Win 8 / OSX) with same behavior. It seems more an Issues with syncing all the servers together. Example:

I put some Prep on a System. And voilá I saw this prepping directly in the PP Overview. Then I quit the game and logged in again, probably to another server. What you think? My Prep-Load are gone. I have to wait nearly one hour to see them again.

Then I thougt it could make a difference in which mode (Solo, Group, Open) to put the Load. But in all modes the same. Sometimes you see your load in the overview directly, sometimes not. But after logout / login it cold takes up to an hour delay to see the load in the overall statistic again. And that means, all other player see my load with that delay ...

At first I would to know from which timestamp is that what I see in the PP Overview? And then: it is an inter server or intra server view? Means is that what I see synced with all other servers, or at least only on my actual server where I'm connected to.

At second I want to hear if the FrontierDev-Guys has realized this kind of delay issue?

At least I'm curious if there are plans to reduce or eliminate this delay?

Because if there is an delay up to one hour, you can imagine how many "wrong" decisions of load and systems was made. And this just because the PP Overview is not in sync between the servers.
