Problems with third party/Frontier connection for the last few days?

[Coehoorn]

I've been experiencing a host of errors when trying to fetch data from Frontier servers via third party apps, for the last 2-3 days.

The parties in question are inara and EDMC, which either ask me to renew authentification or simply spit out an error about how 'only partial data could be recovered'.

Anyone else?

Best place to go would be the forums / support for said third party apps. Frontier can't (and doesn't need to) do much about it.

Currently having trouble with EDSM and EDDB, systems that were scanned and showed in both of them a few days ago are now just returning the no system found message, even systems that I know were in there because I checked, but that I haven't visited are also doing the same, however Spansh shows them as having been scanned, strange and it does seem to be some sort of data link issue, I can't believe they were all accidentally deleted because trying to sync with EDDiscovery does nothing at the moment.

I have systems in game that are showing as not visited by me, yet I've been there. Basically, I cannot click on the system and bring up the system map, despite having flown there, honked, landed at stations / on planets etc. in the past. These are some pretty common material gathering locations, so it not like it's some obscure system or anything like that. Not encountered many instances of this, but the ones I have are significant. As this is all purely in game I wonder if it's not the Third Party tools that are at fault here?

Well my issue turned out to be a me issue...all I can say is, spreadsheets, don't you hate them!

Did you check in the FSS to see if all the bodies were showing there? Some systems that have been discovered by other players, and that even have stations and etc in them, still need to be fully FSS'd before you can view the system map, either that or scan the navigation beacon. Many system even in the bubble still need to be properly scanned, so always check the FSS when jumping into a system (well except for the obvious ones like Sol). Some systems register as fully scanned already even on first jump in, but some don't, it's often not enough to just honk. Always check the FSS.

Good point, though I had personally visited the system in question - I even had it, and planets within - bookmarked but I could not bring up the system map. I have since revisited the system aboard a friend's Carrier, so it was visible last time I checked. Might look again to see if the system map is still visible remotely.

Yeah any system that has been scanned (and sold to UC) by another CMDR is all visible in the system map from inside the system, but if you haven't scanned it with the FSS it will show the usual unscanned bars and the nav panel will shown "unexplored" instead of the planet name, even though you can select them, travel to them and bookmark them from the system map!
