enter+5+5 is the shortcut to leave the cockpit and go to the crew.

The cockpit menu disappears

Post by dzhedzho » Sat, 16. Nov 13, 11:49

I have an issue where, once I leave a station and enter the cockpit, the menu panel disappears. That's it if you open map, trade or anything else, you turn right, but the menu panel does not go up. Restarting the game does not help, only when you dock at station again and come back. Usually takes a few tries

Yep, I've had that one too. I think a reload cleared this. Either that or stopping/starting the game.

it's a bug with entering cockpit. If there is no chair animation it's broken. You don't need to dock. Just get to your rear part and enter the cockpit again. If panel from rear part doesn't work use menu to return.

So far this worked everytime.

(And for stuck info screen Alt+Tab + back helps)

We will be investigating this, but as Umbru says, a workaround is to dock.

you dont even need to dock, you just need to leave the cockpit by choosing the "crew" command and then use the "return to ship" command right after.


And now that I am reminded, If i select the "crew" command while in space, i cannot access the panel to open the door to go back into the cockpit. I HAVE to use the "return to ship" command

Windows 7 (64) - Steam-game

Same problem. Reloading saved game does not fix it. Starting a news game fixed it. Loading the old game, was still broken. Had to enter a new system to get rid of it.

As mentioned using Enter >5 > 5 seems to fix the broken screen for a lot of people.

Happened to me after suffering a lot of damage on the ship, went back to repair and since then the Secondary menu do not appear (Haven't tested workaround still).

I can reload any savegame BEFORE the massive damage taken (multiple systems got damaged) and the menu is there. I have loaded back and forth and the dissapearance is consistent... ONLY the savegame after a repair from massive damage taken shows the lack of secondary menu.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Tested the workaround, works in my case also.

Ship computer invisible (BUG)

Post by thokitti » Sat, 16. Nov 13, 13:55

Spoiler
Show
I'm currently at plot mission where you are supposed to freight supplies with the construction ship to the cantera colony
Suddenly the ship computer is gone. When activated for maps or whatever, the firstperson view turns as to look at the computer, and it reacts to keys with sounds, but is invisible.
Tried starting a new game, and the computer is back, so seems somethings broke with that spesific savegame...

Should i email the savegame?

Great game btw, having tons of fun!

I had a similar problem at a different point in the game, so I doubt it's plot related.

I had this issue; restarting the game didn't do anything, loading an old save didn't fix it, also, lowering my resolution and upping it again didn't fix it. In the end, I think I went to my vr drone, and then came back out of that, and it started working again.

Same problem

Post by Kjar » Sat, 16. Nov 13, 14:25

Yeah, I have the same problem. Reloading doesnt help, could only switch to another Savegame, where he pops up again... those two savegames are only 30 mins different, but i progressed with the plot mission.

I had this, and worked around it by doing the following:

1) Save game and exit / re-launch application
2) Load save game
3) Leave cockpit
4) Re-enter cockpit

UI with screens etc. was then resolved for me using the above workaround. Hopefully you guys can confirm.

We're aware of this. While we investigate, please use the workaround posted.

Thanks BlackDemon. I had the same problem after re-loading my game from last night but docking, leaving and re-entering the cockpit helped.

Is there a way to leave the cockpit while in space or is it only while docked?

1) when screen is missing you need to leave cockpit and reenter from MENU
2) if screen is locked (doesn't respond to any key), alt+tab game and get back

Inn and out of a drone does the trick. Confirmed workaround.
