Ship Launched Fighter Issue (Odyssey)

[AlanBell68]

I am posting this issues here after several months of I occurring across multiple patches, and being unable to open a ticket on the Issue Tracker. Every attempt to do so over the last few months has resulted in an error stating that I cannot create a ticket at this time and to try again later. As a result, I am posting this here out of desperation.

Issue Summary
Player cannot launch as pilot of ship launched fighter

Game Version
Odyssey

Issue Details
When a player launches a ship launched fighter with the player as the pilot, the usual animation sequence for the transition to the fighter is played, but the player is then returned to the cockpit of the main ship.

None of the in-ship panels can be triggered, and the only way of returning to normal operation is to enter super-cruise, at which point the ship-launched fighter is destroyed, and normal function returned.

Note:
When another player is aboard the ship, and they attempt to launch the ship-launched fighter, the experience is very much the same.

Issue Frequency
Every time the player attempts to launch a ship launched fighter with the player as the pilot.

Steps to Recreate
Open the Roles panel, select the Ship Launched Fighter screen, Select Laugh Fighter, and select the player as the pilot.

Hardware
GPU : GTX1080
CPU : i7 8th Generation

I don't have this issue,

This belongs on the issue tracker. You won't get much help on the forums and the devs probably won't notice it here.

Do you have npc-crew assigned to the ship?
I don't have the issue either. But I do have npc-crew and you said no word about it.

Yes, I do have an NPC crew member. Whatever the underlying issue is, if I load up Horizons, everything works just fine, but switching to Odyssey, it exhibits the same bug every time.

I have had multiple attempts to log this on the issue tracker, and have reported many bugs on it since its creation, but for the last 3 months or so, I have been unable to create a ticket. I get the error “We are unable to create your ticket at this time. Please try again later” Tried different days of the week, different times of day, but no luck. Tried three different browsers on PC (Edge, Firefox, Chrome) and Safari browser on iPad. This post here was out of sheer desparation.

its an odd one for sure some suggestions is all I can offer
delete the gpuworktable.xml from your product folder
open the launcher options and use the file validator...………………….
sack npc just in case hes bugged remove store then relog and refit fighter bay so its computer code assets are refreshed
last but no least recheck your binding controls for launching your fighter etc as odd uses a diff control file
(ver4.0 to ED horizons ver 3.0)

as for sending a ticket this may sound bizarre but try using an old all re set to default settings internet explorer 11 browser
to send it (found by typing internet into windows start search)
if successful they will send an auto email to confirm its has been received

Instead of raising an issue on the Issue Tracker (which relies on getting enough votes for FD to even look at it) - why not raise a support request (the old "raise a ticket") at:

https://customersupport.frontier.co.uk/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360003260740

... as long as you don't fall foul of the "captcha" (I have never actually seen one) then filling that out results in a confirmation email, followed by specific feedback from a member of the support staff in time.

(You don't get any emails from the issue tracker.)

good luck

Yes, a support ticket is a good idea. Some of these problems seem specific to particular users' accounts.

I have had a similar constant problem on three different PCs, on four separate accounts, in both Odyssey and Horizons: when I click the fighter menu option to swap from the mother ship into the deployed fighter, my point of view is placed "behind" the pilot body in the fighter, with the collar of the flight suit and shoulders obscuring the panels. I am then unable to use the controls for the panels or swap back. Or see the displays (radar etc). Even new accounts, upgrades, file validation and repair, and multiple new computers haven't stopped this.

This makes fighters unusable except by NPCs.

UPDATE
after patch 12 and the last couple of hotfixes, I have been unable to recreate the problem while playing solo. I don’t recall if this has only ever happened when I’m a wing or not, as I predominantly play with friends, but did notice that a couple of other annoying (but not game breaking) audio glitches seemed to have been resolved. Not sure these are the direct result of a fix or just a re-download of a corrupt file. This could be the case with this issue too

Will try to get on during the weekend and test the fighter issue in a wing and see if it resurfaces, but feeling hopeful that perhaps it may be resolved. Thanks for everyone’s input!
