Unplayable - cannot connect to transaction server last 2 days

I can't jump, can't do much. If I idle I also get the message after just a few minutes

Tried logging in and out, different modes, rebooting but it isn't working which is so frustrating

Are FDEV aware of this problem? I know others are having issues with missions. I am out of the bubble

There are problems, Fdev have made improvements in 2.2 apparently. But if you are getting problems you might want to post in the support forum.

I think they are, as many people already complained here an on steam forums. Server issues range from not being able to start (disabled start button), over frequent lags with mission board, network based freezes when switching between system/low wake/high wake, over crashes when buying or swapping a ship.. Complains have there been a lot, especially the last few days, excuses have been made, it was the customer's bad network connection, the router, or MTU, and a bug that will be fixed in 2.2 or anything else. Right now I'm pretty angry about being totally unable to play more than 10 minutes, if at all. If they don't clearly refurbish their server infrastructure, I won't buy another season.

Right now it is very, very bad.
Can't play the game. The mission board is inaccessible.
These are the times I wish this was an off line game.

I know it can be very frustrating when connection issues arise or the servers seem to lag or crash. I've had a few issues over the last years myself with Frontier's servers. The following video won't help your situation, but it may help you better understand the complexity of our online experience with Frontier, and how they make it happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvJPyjmfdz0

2.2 is coming early next week, this weekend is going to be unplayable except the one part of the community which isnt reporting any issues and that is the deep space exploration community ( everything is running fine in deep uninhabited space) you should consider grabbing and asp and heading for somewhere random at least 8k LY out from sol or jaques

I can't remember which game it was, long ago, but they had a connectivity utility that would check things like ping, packet loss, traceroute, etc. and display the results. This way you could have some sort of idea where things were falling down. In the last month, I have had 2 nights where things were dicey, but the rest of the time, everything has been fine. I am lucky with my ISP and connectivity.

I really wish they had that kind of a utility to help these folks having trouble.

At Sothis right now. Totally unplayable, with missions simply not updating. Never been so bad, and i've been problem free for a long time. Sort it out FD!

Yes, it has been shockingly bad the past week, I am on a 100/40mb/s connection and never had an issue, but the past 7 days or so its insane. All the issues above with mission board, matchmaking drop outs, Adjudication server connection issues, and so on. A friend and I that used to play together now only see each others wing signals, and never ourselves in the same instance even way out in thew void where there is only 2 of us in the system, This is fixed (Winging up issue) by using a VPN (outside program needed to make Elite Multi player sort of work............).

Every other MP game I have plays perfectly, so I not accepting its your problem any more, as if I and a ton of other players are having this issue, it isnt "Our End" its your server infrastructure that is letting the players down. (36+ years in IT, Systems programmer and extensive knowledge of networking large networks, so not falling for the reply from FD that its "My End" with the issue any longer.)

Funny though prior to 2.0 dropping everything worked pretty well, 2.0 dropped and something broke for the online communications part big time. I am hopeful for 2.2 rectifying this since many reporting many online connectivity issues have been resolved, We shall find out very soon.

It was really terrible a few hours ago, but right now everything is OK. Maybe it is because Europe is sleeping ? Or FD fixed it ?

I guess it all depends on location, quality of network components, internet connection and whatever else. For me, E:D has been running as smoothly over the last few weeks as never before.

BTW: if this was a general problem, there wouldn't be 15 posts on the thread so far, but 500... :rolleyes:

theres much more than usual suffering these issues including me, the amount of transaction issues being reported here, reddit and elsewhere has spiked yesterday today and probably over the weekend

I was away for a couple of days, but last night was OK (no drops) but mission board would not work for quite a while. It took multiple attempts to get it to work. I thought I might lose my mission at the other end.

Had terrible issues last night. in Sothis. Mission board completely inaccessible, tried re-logging, mode switching etc... no joy. Ended up logging off after and hour and a half of trying. Tried again this morning. still the same, unable to communicate with transaction server etc. in all modes.

Is the beta server the same? I tend not to jump into the betas, preferring to wait for live for the new stuff but having an unexpected day off i would like some Elite Dangerous VR goodness today :)

Unlikely, it is always bad around 7-8 PM GMT, things usually improve outside these times, for me anyways.
