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.

sorry... problem solved through "reset link" find in commander's settings !



FredSkaut [RADK]Hi Commander O7 !

since 27/12/2022, it's impossible on my account to import game data to Inara :
Game log import 2022-12-27 failed download
The Frontier service is offline or did not return useful information, try again later.
[httpCode: 200, fetchCode: 0]



did someone know how I can solve it or if it's possible to manually import this data ?

i've deauthorize applications on my frontier account, change api key etc... always the same problem

thanks for helping

Please tell me how I can link my PSN account to Inara...


As Inara now supports the Live game version only, the Horizons 3.8 and console game versions are no longer supported. But, I am currently in the middle of assessing options in regard of the commander data imports and thus I didn't change the texts yet. Either it will work again or not (as various data are heavily related to each other, the complete version isolation is quite a complex task). I will announce the conclusion here later on.


Ah, so that's why nothing is importing from the XBox servers anymore... nice. Dumped by FDev and now Artie (possibly). Nice to feel loved.

Since the XBox import code is presumably still available is there any particular reason for not continuing to import it? After all, it's the only "live" version left on consoles. Is there a major JSON schema change for V4.0?

Hello,

It seems like my progress on The Exobiologist badge has been frozen. I have been stuck at 86 Organic Data Registered for quite a while (weeks). In-game codex shows 139 Organic Data Registered. Everything else seems to be updating fine.

EDIT: Just updated. Not sure if someone did something or if that is hilarious timing, but this is resolved now!

ElitePenguinHello,

I see 139 on Inara? Maybe there was some delay in the in-game codex update (and its values in the journal), so it was imported just very recently.

The reason is that there needs to be a non-trivial amount of work done to isolate data from the legacy version. For example, I must not update any galaxy-related stuff from the legacy journals, I must not import carriers and so on. For such thing I need to create a different modified "branch" of the whole commander update system, starting from the OAuth authorization and the used platform check and based on that use other endpoints and so on and so on to the "end of the line" with the data/updates handling and the journal parsing. All that for the less than 3% of the users. So as I was exploring options in the last few days, I am more and more inclined to the option to wait once Frontier will start the account transfer services (should be available this quarter) and then check the numbers again and make the final decision after that.

A minor update: Alongside of other minor improvements made in the past few weeks, there was added an option to search multiple commodities at once in the commodity search, so you can use that for looking where to buy commodities for your missions, etc.

So yep, effectively a "major schema change" indeed, so cool. Figured as much. What you'd need would be an efficient yet likely complex transformation or mapping tool. Lots of work. Thanks for the reply Artie, appreciated.

Did something happen with Inara's Patreon account? It doesn't appear on my memberships, the account linked to the "Inara supporter" badge has no posts and I can't become a member.

Nope, everything is running as usual. Maybe it's some hiccup on Patreon's end, I will check it out and PM you the details.

Ace McKoolHello o7

Signature BBcode is not working in the forums:

It looks fine to me. As mentioned by others there, Ctrl+F5 to force reload the page should help, it was very likely just older image version cached.

What does a red demand figure mean? Can that meaning be added to the pop-up text?

Hi Artie,

for some reason my credits arent correct despite having EDMC running and doin manual Update (import Game Data in Inara).
As of now Inara shows 7,283,143,431, while it is 7,156,316,535 ingame. Also, i dont believe the asset value is calculated correctly.
Anything i can do here?

thanks and best regards

There is a tooltip over the red numbers already.
It means that for mined-only commodities you can get much lower prices if you hold more commodities in your cargo hold. For the regular commodities the difference is negligible though.

Hello, thank you for reporting. It seems there is a new journal bug writing the MarketSell events twice sometimes, causing this discrepancy (in your case, three bulk sells of Silver written twice into the journal caused the difference). That also affected the overall assets (as the credits are a part of it). I have reported it to Frontier.
In any case, the credits will get corrected at your next game session start (and its import) as it will take the initial values as provided by the game/journal.

Thank you for looking into it so fast and also doing the needed next steps
Wouldnt know how to live in Elite without Inara.
