To my understandig the bug is still there, but you will get a "corrupted data"-message if the scan fails. You can simply rescan until it works. The data is safe, at least I can access all systems I scanned since Oct. 7. They have not been able to restore data from before October 7.
Notice Scan data bug fixed

I think there have been several issues. That is probably why FD were so slow off the mark with this one, since they may have assumed all the noise about data was connected to the issue they knew about in advance: that the data from the period between the backup of the database on 2nd/3rd October and 1.4 dropping had not been copied across. But there were other issues, including the scanning issue. But FD, as is their wont, have been vague in their descriptions. So we (or, at least, I) still do not really know for sure where we are. There have been plenty of people reporting a corrupted data message after the fix.
Wow, I didn't realise it was that bad! Maybe I am glad I sold all my data that evening after all, even if I do lose a few ELW.
Yep, that's how it works. You get a message saying you claimed X bounty on Y bad guy, but you don't actually get paid until you get to a station. Some seem to think that's too hard and would prefer to have no risks at all.
Oh I see! Been out there too long I guess and I stand corrected
Guess then, FD makes us all equal, no?
Well, no...I don't get paid half as well as an explorer that I do as a bounty hunter.
Please get this sorted out....lot of time and first discoveries at stake....
Reading through this...I can't tell if it's been sorted or not....heading back to the bubble when I log in tonight....can't take this anymore...

A few systems I scanned before the upgrade are showing up with white and not red icons in the Galactic Map.
However most still show up as red!
If I look inside some of those systems in the System Map, most of the planets and moons are missing or show up as Unexplored; a few show up as Explored.
I have at least three systems where planets show up as black disks in the System Map and their data is not complete; they also do not appear in the Navigation Panel.
System I have scanned since the 8th October are showing up normally as far as I can tell.
I have now started using Captains Log to track my progress very closely!!
It seems that not all the data has been recovered yet
Still I live in hope that FD will recover everything!!

Right. So now I have to tell my Asp I'm not taking her for a walk despite the fact I promised her?
I am also unsure whether to explore further on or not. Worst case would be to make another 5k LY now towards ze bubble and then be told by FD to 'go back and re-scan' because something didn't work out.
If you are in the bubble, stay there and find something else to do.
So does this script also deal with stars that cannot physically be 'locked on' in order to scan them, and which don't show up as part of the system when looking at the left MFD? I've run across several that don't even give you the usual 'popup' when facing the star that shows you the name or 'unexplored' when you look at it.
The star is visually present in the system, but appears to otherwise not exist as far as the background sim is concerned.

If only the game actually showed a chart like this...
Or does it and I just missed it somewhere?

Yup, just got my first one of those. It eventually appeared when I blew the horn again. I have had a couple of crashed of the instancing server (can't remember exactly what they called it) which seems unlikely in the extreme: I have not seen another commander for 6 months or so. When going back in, everything in the cxurrent system seemed to have been correctly remembered.
Galaxy map still showing all data from 3rd to 6th as gone, 1.4 to the 8th still patchy based on what I can see. Shadowrun - Dragonfall completed, run back to the last (first?) missing ELW tonight and going to play something else for a few more days before I try again since that system showed a blank disc for one random snowball and kept showing the same after a honk so it's clearly still not quite right.

Well, I guess it's time to get some CQC ranking for me. I've been out since March, and still 50k+ Ly out. I'll just wait it out, luckily I've only done about 200 jumps in the danger period, perhaps 2 or 3 neutrons lost, so I'm not overly stressed, though they are quit ehard to find where I am, so would be nice to have my name on them. Not too far to go back, if I have to, I guess...
Anyway, CQC. I also have lots of TV shows to catch up on...
Z...

so how about you be more clear in ur update as far as what this means and what we can and can't do and should and shouldn't do...can we still explore but not sell or what. Today when I sold data and got 1st discoveries I went to the system map and it says validating instead of my name...so will I get those tags or not. QUIT WASTING OUR TIME BY TELLING US IT'S OK TO EXPLORE. I would like answers explaining everything!

This isn't fixed, nor is likely to be. Immediately after the update I noticed the Galaxy Map was not centred on my location, but was about 70 l-y out in the plane of the Galaxy, and raised a ticket, which knowing FD I'm sure I'll hear nothing about ever again. Then I explored some systems anyway. Then came the announcement of the exploration bug. My EDDiscovery data for 23 explored systems between 8 October and 10 October is totally screwy; apparently I've visited Eta Cephei and Theta Ursae Majoris and several systems in the Boepp SU-E Sector amongst others, all thousands of light-years from my actual position:
Since the announcement that the bug was fixed, I've explored just one system, which shows up correctly on my EDDiscovery log, although the list of far-flung false destinations from 8-10 October remains. But what convinces me that the bug isn't fixed is that on loading the game the Galaxy Map still doesn't centre on my location as it did before the update, and is still 70l-y or so out. This is the view upon starting Galaxy Map for the first time:
Can someone at FD kindly tell me what is going on with the Galaxy Map? Is anyone aware of the bug where initially the map does not centre on the player location? Does it not occur to anyone this bug might have something to do with the exploration bug that also came in with v. 1.4? And why not just roll back the update to the last working version, instead of wasting people's time with this version that plainly doesn't work and isn't going to until after it is taken offline and back to the drawing board? Are you doing this on purpose to force interest in CQC? A lot of people simply aren't interested, just as they weren't interested in Powerplay.

Ha just wait and see what happens when you sell all this data...ur first discoveries will say validating instead of ur name and frontier will not help you
Bit cynical
