Remote workshop not working after update

IronBeastx · Sep 19, 2019

Remote workshop not working after update, whenever I click the top level of engineering it glitches out and locks the menu in front of my character. The only way I figured out to get out is by going on the right menu and going into engineers.....

Exiting to the main menu also works. One can scroll mods that have been completed but then locks up on an uncompleted one. E.G. Long range sensors completed to level 3.. Go to level 4 and the screen locks. Once an uncompleted mod has been selected the back button cannot be accessed even using a mouse.

Oh well, it's an ED update. If there weren't any bugs it would be a first...Then I'd probably worry!

Yep. Having the same issue here

Same issue here. I submitted all my details on the Issue Tracker page. No offense to anyone, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having this problem.

same here, even tried going to engineers workshop and same problem there. Got to love the wonderful "UPGRADES" to the game. Always seems to cause more problems than benefits

Well, not a true fix but a bit of a workaround until its patched.

If you go to the engineers base, you can freely upgrade all your modules UNLESS you cursor over an upgrade that you are missing mats for. Have not yet tested this remote.

Does that make sense?

Say I am upgrading G5 MC at todds place. As long as I have ALL the mats required to do the upgrade, it wont soft lock.
If I don't have the mats necessary to roll, and select/mouse over the upgrade, then the screen will soft lock.

If it does soft lock, simply press your right panel button. Select engineers, then back out of the screen.

You need to make sure you dont mouse over any single upgrade level that you cant afford, even if its one youve already maxed or on a tree youre not using. Try again, maybe? Hope it works for you, man.

Same here. I know Will is aware of the issue, so it will get fixed, just a matter of time.

The sideboard workaround doesn't work. It clears the screen lock, but as soon as you try to go back into the engineers mod page it locks again. I tried the mouse method, even using the slider to skip the mods I don't want/can't afford but as soon as I click the one I want (G5 sturdy Rail gun in this case) it hard locks.

Honestly surprised this hasn't been fixed already. Engineers and Engineering is a pretty vital aspect of the game that extends to all professions. I heard it's sometimes happening to the mission board as well. I think they need to put the new Store thing on hold and fix something(s) that are practically game-breaking. Why I hate big updates. Seems to break more than it fixes/adds.

I've added the issue to the submit issue page, which said it was the first report. I doubt that. https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/4111
