Stuck at start of tutorial.

Today I deleted my previous commander to make a fresh start and when entering the tutorial I hear "Make yourself comfortable while we finish some preliminary ship checks" or something like that. But after that I dont receive any further indications and when using (spacebar) to auto-launch the game doesnt do anything. I can only cycle trough the ship menues and thats it.
 
Afternoon Eladrio!
I seem to remember a fair bit of hand-holding when I first took the helm... Is there maybe an instruction you missed in the message log/panel in the upper left?
 
Hi!. Yes, the tutorial is screwed in the way You've described - after first comm message just sitting in cockpit and nothing happens. Yesterday I've started the tutorial and it was all fine, but interrupted it to restart it today. Probably an updated downloaded by steam today morning messed it all up. I'm so mad because I've just bought and finished setup of hotas and vr goggles... If anyone knows solution for this situation please provide. Tried to reset all game settings and event re-download it again - none helps.

Hello, no I dont think so. I watched a video of the tutorial in YouTube and its nothing like what happens in my game. Searching the internet I have just now found several people with the same problem than me and in recent days. So maybe it is a new bug or something.
 
Yeah I just did a confirmation in that issue and in another one similar. I guess I can only wait now.
I wouldn't wait - it may be a while.

Edit: By 'a while' I mean days, more likely weeks. Probably not before next week.

Seems they are brexiting the continent. Only rotating ship during game start. After several tries I switched to a UK server ( you need a vpn ). Then the game would start.
 
If that is the treatment they give to in my opinion high severity bugs like this one...
It was only introduced (probably) today. And patches typically take days to come out. They might turn it around faster, but I was just trying to set expectations.

I imagine it will be sorted reasonable quickly as it's pretty annoying, and first impressions matter. But hey, fdev move in mysterious ways 🤷‍♀️
 
Just saying 'me too'. On Epic Games, connecting from the US - so it's not just a Europe/Steam issue. What a shocking first impression for the game, hope they fix this soon. Until then, I guess I'll resume NOT playing Elite: Dangerous...

Yeah I know their focus may be on other things right now(aka Odyssey) but imagine purchasing the game and this is your first interaction with it. I would be at least annoyed and possibly angry.
But yeah thanks for the help man.
 
Last patch issue ,Yesterday the game was working perfect but the last patch of today just mess whit the game, waiting to fix
 
Seem's yesterdays small update was a "switch off all newcomers help". A lot of forums all saying same problem. Great introduction and first impression of ED.
Oh well at least i know what the Docking Bay that leads to the stars looks like :)
 
You can skip the tutorials by pressing the escape key. You don't want to do them anyway if it's a restart.
