Commanders having Elite from Epic games store with http 400 error
When you try to link your accounts, you may receive the http error 400 about expired tokens. It's an issue on Frontier's end that I cannot solve on Inara. Fortunately, the solution is simple - please give it a few days and it will start to work later (probably when the access token on their cAPI server expires). If the error 400 appeared later and it worked before, try to reauthenticate as said in the error message (may be just a regular reauth forced by Frontier). Alternatively, you can try to use the workaround below. If even that won't work, it's the problem described above.
Please vote for the issue on the official bug tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/21258

Possible workaround: Try to connect the account while you are in the game. It may work.

Game data and imports not available for console commanders and PC players with Legacy game version
Inara supports only the Live game version (so PC Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey) since game update 14, thus all the game data on the site and the commander data imports work only for those game versions.

Greetings Artie. I seem to have a problem with being unable to like anyone's logs or pics. Every time I click the "shiny" button, it just grays out and my like is never applied.

I know you're a very busy person, but if you could just let me know if it's just me or if this is a further reaching problem, I'd be very grateful. THANK YOU!

Greetings Gatimu,

I have just checked out the shiny button, after I cast my vote and refresh it works for me.

Give it a try.

Everytime I try to import my data I get a 401 error, is this problem because of the frontier server issues at the minute?

Yep, it is a problem with the Frontier's server at the moment. No idea when it will be fixed, but as Frontier is still working on the fixes, I suppose it may be solved this week.

As Sarge wrote, I am aware this visual imperfection/confusion and it's on my list for fixing.

In Inara, the Minor Factions page is not showing Economy, Population, Fac or Stat columns under Star Systems Presence tab, and the Pending column is not being displayed in the Star Systems page. Either I was asleep and missed an update notice or it's because I'm away from home on another PC and there was some setting I changed at home to get them to appear. I'd like to know it's a permanent change before I modify my many tracking spreadsheets for the faction I'm supporting. Thanks in advance!

If you are viewing the page on low resolution screen/low browser window width, some columns are hidden in the table as it's not possible to fit everything in otherwise. It was like that for a long time. Is it a case?
23 Sep 2019, 12:27pm
Thanks Artie - you're the source of all truth and insight, once again. Sure enough, I'm on an unfamiliar laptop and the 1920x1080 monitor was set to 150% scaling. Restore scaling to 100% and the columns appear. Thanks!

AthanasiusI've edited things now, but the Nu Wanga system had some assets listed as owned by "Carii Ltd", a minor faction that isn't even in the system (may have been in the past). On the edit page for the assets the Controlling Faction defaulted to "--", and I've now edited them to the correct ones.

Something bad in the handling when a minor faction is kicked out of a system ?


Yeah, that's alright. As the minor factions presence in the given star systems and the stations ownership are updated independently in the journals, it's hard to link all the changes together. When some faction leaves the star systems, there are two ways how to handle their "remaining" assets (that holds some older information about the ownership) - leave it as is (which is wrong) or reset the ownership and leave then without any owner or presume some other faction is a new owner (which is also wrong). I have decided for the first solution, as it's less prone to errors (so any wrong minor factions update also won't reset the stations). When the station is edited, it defaults to "none" as the original minor faction is not present anymore and that suggests it should be changed to the correct owner instead. If ignored, the station will stay without any owner, at least until the new data will come in. Basically, the whole mechanics is just about choosing a lesser evil. [/quote]

So, in this case the 'Carii Ltd' had lingered due to them leaving before a code change ?

if i know correct, if faction retires from system, all they actives transfer to system owner
but i may be wrong, better ask EDBGS folks)))

I am glad its not just me then, i am having trouble updating my data from frontier server i was getting 401 error but now its a 402 internal error.

I guess we all have a similar problem i just dont like the look of my current status stuff i have more creds now and done a lot more but cant import the data.
24 Sep 2019, 7:55pm
Sometimes when i import my data(finally im able to),the engineerimg on my ship doesnt update...Is it reasonable or is it a bug?
24 Sep 2019, 9:01pm
I am also receiving the error:

401 Unauthorized
Please contact Frontier Support if this persists.

Was just curious to know if Inara has attempted to log into the frontier service with that authorization finder account? Is it possible that a new DEV client needed to be created, password for it needs to be reset, or has that already been attempted? I know personally, I had to reset my personal password in order to log into the Auth Service on Frontier.

Just a random thought I guess

On the Engineers overview page it lists Mel Brandon as being able to engineer shield cell banks up to G5, but he can actually only engineer them up to G4.
