Retrieval: Grab the Microtransformer from a Crash Site...?

Yesterday I completed 8 (well 9 really, explain at the end*) Salvage Missions, all from Wreckage or Crash Sites. All done without any problems & rewards were collected on completion.

*When stacking 3 Salvage Missions, 2 on one Planet & 1 on another, I was puzzled to notice that after clearing the single Mission on the Planet, the Panel was showing a second 'blue' highlighted Crash Site. On visiting this Site & retrieving the Item, I got the Mission completed message on the HUD:oops:🤷‍♂️.
Though on handing in the Missions at the Station there were only 3 showing on the 'completed mission' screen............maybe the game remembered one of the Missions I abandoned the day before:ROFLMAO:.

Big improvement though, now I can go back to hunting out the rewards I need for my upgrades:).

Picked up the mission item from a crash site and the mission never updated. Had it in my inventory but the mission giver acted like it didn't exist. Just to clarify I had been jumped by 4 enemies when I got to the crash site (so much for threat level 1) and died. But when I respawned the mission was still listed as active, crash site was still there, enemies bailed. Flew back, grabbed the item but nothing progressed.

Care to leave an update in the issue tracker? Looks like we're just one or two reports away from the issue being flagged as confirmed. Make sure to check the "can reproduce" button when you leave a report:

Yep, confirmed as well.

It's crazy - I actually had little to no issues with Odyssey until Thursday, but oof... now its borked left and right between this, the ultra sensitive NPCs without flashlights, respawning completely gone (given the crashing issues just compounds it)...

I did some more of these and while each time I was lucky & the mission objective spawned, on occasion the item didn’t progress the mission, despite getting the audio cues and the tick in the box. Going back to mission board showed nothing to hand in & galmap still showed mission objective in nearby system. In fact checking the galmap is a good way to quickly check if the mission is broken. If desitination is not updated, no progress.

Yep, that's consistent with what we're seeing in Update 6 - the POIs do seem to reliably spawn, but retrieving the mission item doesn't always mean you can complete the mission.

To echo something I said in the other thread about this - yesterday I had a 100% success rate for these missions when the target was in the same system, but a 100% failure rate when sent to another system. This makes me think that the mismatching system names in the mission text is actually indicative of the underlying bug. It appears that the system name in the upper text is always the mission source system, and when that isn't the same as the destination system noted in the lower text the mission script isn't triggered to advance.

I'd be curious if that matches other people's experiences of this.

Was trying to see how often I could get the bug to happen when Frontier updated the game and now I can't get it to happen so, issue fixed? lol. It is for me at least.

I think it's fixed, yes. I've done a few both in-system and across systems and they've all completed as expected.
