The Emote Wheel

[Cmdr Zund]

Stupid game! (or maybe stupid me). I somehow got the Item & Emote wheel up and could not make it disappear. That locked my vision to a downward view in the middle of a high level ground combat scenario with either the Item or Emote wheel active. I had to move forward/backward left/right while looking down to find a safe place. Logging out/in didn't make it go away. Ultimately I had to launch ED Horizons that put me in my ship above the surface 350Km up. I've looked all over the Options > Controls > On Foot menu for a keybind to back out of the Emote wheel. Nothing caught my eye. (I never got into the emotes so didn't learn the default keybinds).

Do you have any suggestions for this?

Now another problem crops up. I did a ground conflict scenario and used the in-game Vulture for the ride. I finished the combat, Vulture picked me up, flew back to the space station, landed and would not offer me the menu to Disembark.

Log out > load ED Horizons and get sent to a safe place > load ED Odyssey and everything seems fine at the moment.

Maybe I need to do a game file check...

Or you could have just pressed the normal button to disembark.

Good luck tracking down your Headlook Hacker though!

The in game message seems to have gone missing since V12, hopefully it will be back tomorrow.
As Factabulous says it's exactly the same as Apex so just hit that once the airlock is sealed.
With the emotes the button you pushed to bring up the wheel should also put it away again.
I use an Xbox controller for on foot so removed the bind to free up buttons.

This does happen to me frequently as well. I think someone may have already mentioned it, but the button is there but has been broken/invisible since a prior update, if you just press your [UI Panel Select] key it should still work. For me that's [Space].

I can't speak to the perspective change, that seems odd, but the only time anything similar happened to me, I resolved it tangentially when I removed all of my 3.0 Horizons keybinds, including custom.3.0 which to this day, despite multiple 'fixes' continue to interact in mysterious ways with Odyssey custom binds. not sure if it's related but a lot of random keybinds not responding seems to have stopped for me [knocks wood-tomorrow oy].

so didn't learn the default keybinds

Whatever key activates the wheel should deactivate it? Just because I so rarely use either, I set it to "Hold" rather than "Toggle" to avoid any mishaps. I don't think there are any default binds for emotes themselves, other than (i think) "B" to pull up the emote wheel. Not sure if the item wheel has a default bind, but if the problem persists and you don't use it often you could just choose a random out-of-the-way key for emergencies.

maybe stupid me

Nah. Hope any of this helps....

its poor programming imo to have an avail menu that stops player movement at any time really...……. any movement as a basic survival necessity should override it methinks
(its as if it were written by programmers who don't play computer games @ all so don't know the Basic dos and dont's of ist person gaming software)
(I mean for gud's sake i still don't know how to toss a frag properly your right zund they is extremly clever but stupid with extra crème cheez in tandem with it)
the new word for frag out here should be danger close

One part should be fixed in Update 13:

• An issue has been fixed whereby players could find themselves being stopped from disembarking from a Frontline Solutions ship after landing at a Star Port.
  • For example once completing a combat zone on foot, there was no option to disembark from the ship. The only way it was possible to do so was via the lower panel.
