In case you missed this in other bug threads

Stay clear of Dahan Gateway

Barely made it out of there alive, with all my cargo... :eek:

The station is glitching and randomly throws you into walls. Luckily I was in the middle of the station when it happened, so remained alive, but some unfortunate souls with me, wern't so lucky.

Quite honestly the most bum clenching moment of Elite so far - escaping an NPC station!

Just came from there and it seemed fine for me.

Infact this is working much better for me than the last stage. No problems with pad allocations, no stuttering framerates, or skipping spacestations. And I can play full screen with no crashes. Constant crashes before.

Had 1 crash in 5 hours gameplay which is much less for me.

I had this last night. I was on approach to dock, then suddenly the station was facing a different direction for about 2 seconds before reverting back to normal. Gave me the ****s for a moment there.

No, it isn't. This is a thread about avoiding a station due to glitching. I don't even understand his sentence and I'm English. :)

Lost a fully loaded Cobra there this morning. Hit launch, and as the ship should have been released from docking, it completely inverted, and crushed against the pad. Goodbye 150k cr.

Are these problems on any particular server?

I've been noting the number I'm on each time, so bug reports like this can be tied back better.

Doesn't seem to be server related. I even get wierd jitters when supercruising into Dahan, and there is no network traffic to speak of so maybe it is something to do with the system itself, some local data weirdness causing problems... :S

Edit - actually that may be bogus information, I have been getting jittery gameplay a lot today in many systems.

I've been seeing this for a week or so - I just stay clear cause I've seen it reported before - is it any better today? Anyone know if it's a memory leak or is the physic model just seem wrong?

I would have tested this more however folks for some reason picked dahan to do player kills. I know a lot of folks have seen this for many days.

Yes Dahan this last week has been a bit unpredictable, upon hyperdriving into the system and then supercruising to Dahan station i can only describe my approach to it as juddery/laggy ?

And on 2 occasions upon exiting i nearly got impacted on the exit letterbox framework due to lining up carefully to go through only to find the whole exit shifting up or down, nasty moment. :eek:

The only place I have ever had repeated stuttering is on the way into Dahan. I run high settings but tested and medium or low do the same. I am sure I read somewhere that there is some issue about the rendering of the gas giant ?

The issues at Dahan Gateway seem to be a new problem.

At Dahan it is almost like you flip from one instance of the station to another... it might even be as you cross the centre line, so if you are assigned one of those pads in the middle you seem to warp from one position to another and back as you position to land....:S
