Something strange is happening to me since 1.07. When I get interdicted, I reduce the throttle to ZERO to submit. The message comes up that I am submitting, but when I drop out of supercruise, I suffer damage to my ship, and the FSD takes a long time to cool down.
Why is it, if I'm submitting, that I suffer damage to my ship and also have to wait a long time for the FSD to cool down?

No more bounty hunting since 1.07. Possible you guys reduced the spawn rates of pirates by around factor 20 ?
I've been hopping through instances where I could make money before, now it's completely dead. In more than an hour of boredom I found dozends of police vessels and 2 bounty sidewinders with 900 and 1300 bounty.
If that was intentional the game is over for bounty hunters. It was grinding enough before with an ASP, now it's the worst horrible scenario I can think about. unplayable like that
Totally agree, something's not right. Bounty hunting has been a snooze-fest for me since 1.07...can't find them!

It's always worth adding a ticket. For many issues that extra piece of information can be a help. There are a few changes going in to 1.1 which should help with the stuttering around planets, but we'll continue to investigate these and related performance issues.

Would love a response on whether the bounty/wanted/fine not able to be paid off & can be cleared by logging off issue is being looked at
Is it similar to this?

Yeah, I got 80k damage to my Anaconda while 17Mm from a station doing low speed and I also submitted.
Not sure if it is directly related, but suspect it might be...but it has happened to me, and others have reported the same...
Shooting a CONFIRMED wanted ship incurring a wanted tag and bounty. The ship was targeted, scanned, shows as wanted, go into contacts to see what the bounty is, then open fire, and immediately get the wanted tag for the assault on the ship. System security immediately turned red and began attacking, so that indicates that the boutny/wanted was not actually phantom. This is what led me to notice the unpayable bounty at the platform, and also that logging off and back on appeared to clear it, thought from what others have reported, it may just be hidden and not cleared.
I've had pervasive a/v stuttering (usually several stutters a second, sometimes lasting for a few seconds) since tuesday or wednesday that have turned the game unplayable, it seems to have gotten worse since the 1.07 release. I can't replicate any circumstances but would be willing to follow suggestions that can help narrow down the issue. There are times that stuttering is far more limited, seems related to what's on screen.
Hardware in my case is irrelevant: the stutter rarely came up previously (it did though sometimes in combat), I have an i7 with 10g of ram, an nv gtx 760, plus an SSD drive that ran this game smoothly earlier. No changes were made to hardware or drivers.
Many in the community can help debug these issues, I imagine that if I can roll back to 1.05 I can test the theory that it was introduced in 1.06. This is an awesome game that people such as myself have waited for since playing the original elite in the 1980s. I'm willing to spend time helping debug issues, like many others here I am not a spring chicken, am an experienced software engineer and understand and appreciate all the challenges you're facing. And I want to help!

I have also experienced fines being issued - but not appearing in my transaction tab.
Shown in fines and bounties under status, then finance.
But after logout/in not shown.
If this ghost fine still exists I really don't fancy wanted status in 24 hours .....
(after having two catastrophic "errors in judgment" it has taken 2 days to get my loan back, and a decent pot of "spending" money.....
***ALWAYS leave enough money to fund rebuy cost of ship in current configuration!!!)

I've just encountered something like this. I was in CD-34 9020 and got interdicted by a Python, which I engaged. The authorities showed up (I think report crimes got re-enabled due to the numerous times I've re-installed the game this week trying to fix stuttering) and I must have hit one in the crossfire, and gained a 200 cr fine. There's only one station in CD-34 and I couldn't go there to pay off the fine as I was Wanted, so went to a neighbouring system. The fine doesn't show up under Contacts / Pilots Federation at any station, so I can't pay it off. I have a mission to complete in that system, which I can't now because of this bugged fine...
Can't play anymore
I asked a question in 1.06 update thread, got no answer. Now it is impossible to play.
It seems that any additional "telemetry" adds more bugs to the game. I tried to play today, and game crashed every 2-10 minutes. I was lucky to get one 30 minutes period of gameplay.
Crashes occur randomly, no specific pattern:
- while supercruising
- while fuel-scooping
- during combat
- during docking
- while browsing galaxy map
- while watching asteroid ring at normal space doing nothing, 0-speed
Also this "hidden fine" issue... May be you just remove that "telemetry" and everything turns back to normal? "crash-then-send-logs" is not my type of game, really...

And... still unable to play the game. "Stuck on black screen at launch" issue still unresolved.
I received a reply on my ticket a week ago and I didn't even saw it until today, because I did not receive an email notification and as I wasn't hoping for a reply anymore, after 2 months without any answer...

We spent hours trying to co op yesterday. Its definitely still broken. This should be a priority. Please fix asap!!!!
Here's an angle into the stutter issue I reported a few messages back as it manifested on my machine. I went to options, audio, and turned sound effects mute to MUTED.
The particular stutter I had here on my PC is now gone. Of course, most sounds except the ship voice are.
I suddenly recalled when I had encountered this issue before, and it had to do with the number of channels that a game uses concurrently. Most modern sounds cards I guess can handle what ED throws at them but perhaps a lot of on board (motherboard) soundcards can't.
For me at least this is a temp fix but the audio gives many necessary cues (like when docking) and atmosphere that now are not provided. The ship voice does work but the engine and environmental sounds are gone. Not that anything in a vacuum has sound anyway but..
For some an audio driver update may help, others may have tested this to no avail already. I hope this helps you, maybe someone can test and see if a different sound card fixes the issue.

EDIT: Sorry I see others have this issue too. Ignore this post
I talked this over with a few mates, that also play the game.
When I accidentally shoot at a cop, I get a 'Wanted' status and go for the nearest station to pay my fine to the fed pilot org I do not get the option to do so. I exit to main menu and go in again and Wanted status is gone. This has only happend to me since 1.07 got in the air.
My mates get this very same thing.
Anyone else have this issue?
