Having same issue with VR causing the game to crash on startup, checked all drivers and even tried OpenComposite without success (HP Reverb G2 + Rtx 3090), Tried other VR titles in and out of Steam and they all work.

Seems to be a minor problem with the Scythe...
if you have escape pods on board it uses a thargoid hatch breaker to make you drop them - which makes the pods get tagged as stolen because they're your legal salvage. But if you kill the Scythe and pick them up again, they're still marked as stolen... which means you can't turn them in at search and rescue and the only way to offload them is at a black market. Not much of a "rescue" for those poor people...

Sorry, with such a MASSIVE update, with so many new features, with such a lot of brand new possibilities, it could barely be Update 15.03...
Is this sarcasm? I can't tell.
Such a disappointment, such a mess once again. Sorry to be so negative, but you deserve nothing else.
What's going on here? I feel like I need 5 litres of coffee reading this, here to help however possible!
And still no correction of major quality of life bugs, such as the impossibility to browse menus from system map and galaxy map with a HOTAS, forced to use the mouse wheel... For many months now... Such a mess...

😭
The team are doing their best, Kalifornia.

Looks like there's a fairly annoying issue with the Scythe, if you take escape pods back from it (after gently asking with AX multi-cannons wink wink), the escape pods will be considered "stolen" therefore cannot be handed back at rescue megaships, the only place that will accept them are black-markets which is... uh... Original I guess
 
Having seen a few comments mentioning that not much has been added he is a something to consider. U16 is putting in place the stuff needed for the current ongoing storyline, no one said everything would be available on day 1, it will be released/unlocked in chunks.

I'm not into the thargoid war too much, not even visited the maelstroms but appreciate that you can't please everyone all the time.

Might have to take a look to see what has happened to the Dedicant see how my people..... err see how the far god nutjobs are doing.

Yep, last night I paid a visit to the Dedicant, did a bit of light conventional and AX combat and didn't spot anything different (Scythe has not made an appearance for me yet). Might go poke around a Titan tonight.

I'm guessing there might be a Galnet news item after the Thursday tick to lead us gradually into new content...

Any estimate about the FC bug which was introduced 1-2 updates ago which causes some commodities to be marked as stolen (they aren't stolen, they are normally bought at a station and were sold to the normal commodity market at the FC) and as such can not be sold in the normal commodities market?

I can not even use the transfer menu to transfer them to my ship. Those commodities are stuck (Jesus! I'm rich! 4000t of gold as pure decoration scattered around in my FC! 😎) .

I have two accounts with about 4000-5000t of commodities each with this bug (and the support wasn't able to help).
 
It seems U16 has added a new wrinkle to the ongoing problems with the auto-launch on the docking computer. This time the Cutter made it through the slot, only bouncing off the side once - then ground to a halt in the middle of the floating adverts, twisted round a bit, and then tried to reverse back through the slot (not even successfully as that time it did miss the opening).

Maybe U17? (I know, I know.)

Taking a look, netchild. Thanks for the patience o7
 
Hello CMDRs! Just want to confirm for anyone else with Intel Arc or Iris Xe graphics that this update seems not to have fixed the driver issue- it still crashes at the start of planetary generation

hello! so ive been hiding from the ol' thargoids for a while now splash a couple of interdictions causing my credit balance to take a hit.. after this update and a few pennies to spend i thought its time to get involved with the major action in the game and do some pew pew stuff. i dropped into a repairing station and was informed by the combat controller that we had inbound and please help defend the station. no problem boss, i brought my big boy pants and some dubious looking boom sticks to point at these floral menaces. upon starting my brave but foolhardy attack run and opening up with a barage of dirty metal, I GOT FINED BY THE STATION!? ...alot... and got blown to smithereens. im writing this from the command chair of my AspX heading back out into the black. seems humanity doesnt want my help, and i and my credit balance whole hartedly support their wishes. im off to find where all these UPAs are coming from

That's because apparently those AXCZ are not supposed to be there in the first place. Seems to be a bug. AXCZs are supposed to spawn around attacked starports in invasion systems, not repairing ones.

As we don't get invasions anymore, there are currently no un-bugged star- or planetary ports to fight Thargoids at.
