If your computer could handle Horizons only at low settings, you may be in trouble now. Otherwise just lower the graphics settings one notch and keep playing. You may not get all the new graphical bells and whistles they added (e.g. PBR shading), but the game shouldn't look worse than before.

QuillmonkeyHi guys. Just wanted to drop a quick update on my glitch situation after you were all so helpful.

Situation still occurs but is much better now Frontier Support are involved. The game is pretty playable again, though I have to rest the FDL because there is no way I can use fixed weapons any more. Core mining is also out for similar reasons but I can still investigate shit and do some trade (with autodock).

For combat, I’ve been playing with the all laser turret T-10 and while afk is not a long-term solution, I’ve managed to keep the massa-stack to around the 100 mill a day. Mind it takes ages to prep and then sitting there doing little more than popping out collector limpets when needed is not my idea of combat.

Still more fixes to try so I’ll let you know how they go and cheers for the good advice. Good luck to those of you who purchased the Odyssey Alpha.


Hmm, I just experienced something similar to what you are. I was in an Icy Ring Low RES and would get micro pauses/stuttering/bogged down for about a second every 20 seconds or so like clockwork. My system handled the game at full Ultra settings no problem, and between these stutters the game runs perfectly smooth. What's weird is that the game only takes 50% CPU and 40% GPU on Ultra settings unless I'm using the VR. The only other resource demand that seems relevant in the Task Manager is the System process demand which spikes to 15% around these pauses. It's a Kernel thing and I don't know how to delve deeper to figure out what the problem is.

I've never had this issue before and haven't changed anything. I should add the System process spikes stop as soon as I leave the Icy Ring.

Just FYI - a whole Odyssey alpha discussion was moved to an extra thread, so let's please continue there.

Just wondering how long it takes to get to the first Federation rank. I've been stuck on Allied reputation for about 6-7 missions and nothing is happening.

INARA has a page titled "My Ranks" that tells you how close you are. There is also one in game on the right hand panel.
Looking at your profile you are 83% of the way there, when you get to 100% there should be a special mission that will reward you with the rank.

Good luck and enjoy the black

It's weird, huh? I'd suggest don't go to that icy ring.

I think Frontier have fixed my problem. A bit extreme in that I had to stop all services and startups and then add them back one by one. It's sent windows into meltdown and I don't have any sys tray icons any more but I can fly my FDL again, so I'm a happy man. Now to take the cutter out and see if it takes a slide into the rebuy again.

And don't forget to filter missions by Reputation. Don't bother with credits or influence if you are looking to rank. I think this is still valid but head to Perry's Folly in Ochosi and pick up data delivery missions from any Fed factions going to Chargaff Installation or Williams Dock in Chakpa
Go to both these destinations and pick up data delivery missions back to Perry's Folly in Ochosi
Repeat. Should rank up by the time you get round. Keep an eye out for Fed Navy mission.

I seem to have a missing ship issue. A couple of months ago, I grinded the Fed rep and bought the Federal Corvette. At the time, I had two other ships, a fully kitted out Anaconda (about 400 million credits in value) and a Python that I used for passenger transport missions and for the Fed grind. I had my Anaconda and Python docked at Hausers Reach in Robigo, and I took my Fed Corvette for a spin, kitting it out, going mining, blowing some ships up etc... I then took a couple month break, returning to the game about a week ago. I then went back to Hausers Reach in my Corvette, planning to sell my Anaconda. But I found it missing. The ship was not in docked at the station, and it wasn't in my stored ships at a different station. I never sold my Anaconda, and yet it just disappeared. On Inara, it says that I have an Anaconda docked at Hausers Reach as I suspected. My Python is untouched, along with my Fed Corvette. I was wondering if this ever happened to anyone, and if so how should I go about possibly fixing it?

TLDR: I had an Anaconda docked at a station, took a break from the game, came back, and now it's gone. I never sold it, and Inara says I still own it.

Yeah Inara says its there but doesn't give info on where. Have you linked your game account api back up to Inara lately?
The other thing is that Inara says you only ranked up and bought your vette last week (rank rear admiral 19th March 2021, Bought corvette 28th March 2021), so maybe you've not got the latest info coming through here.

Well, according your cAPI profile, I am afraid the Anaconda is not there either (so it will disappear even on Inara sooner or later, when the full fleet update kicks in). But, I've heard about some ships disappearing from another player just a few days ago, so you may be onto something and it will be best to reach Frontier's support. Or you have just sold the ship, forgot about it and no Inara update was made back then.

I've linked and updated it a couple of times in the last few days, so I'm not sure its that. Also, I got my Fed Corvette in early August of last year so I'm not sure why its showing like that.

What is cAPI? Sorry I'm not accustomed with Elite terms yet

Ah, companion API, a stuff on Frontier's server 3rd party apps may access to get some limited info. In this case, some basic details about the commander (like ranks, ships in the fleet).

Well then, guess with today's GALNET article it should be very obvious that we'll have a CZ CG next against the Order of Mudhrid...

Hi guys! Everyone is aware that the megaship cargo bays are completely bugged? I saw tickets with FRONTIER from 1 year ago and nothing from there side to solve it for us. All cargo buys opens and the cargo appears on the contacts tab but the limpets can't reached it. The cargo bay opens and the cargo don't get out of the bay...

Anyone know anything about that?

Maybe if Captain Niamh Seutonia had saved enough for a rebuy we wouldn't be in this situation!
I'm sure if we look closely at the bodies they'll just say 'critically injured' ...
