Using Trader Crafting Station Breaks PHQ Elevator Controls

Post by Evollusion » Thu, 2. Feb 23, 22:17

Version 6.00 Beta 2

Description of the problem and its symptoms
- After using the crafting station in the Player HQ to craft an item elevator controls become non-operational. When mousing over the control panel it doesn't highlight and is no longer able to be interacted with.

Error messages received.
- N/A

The location in the game where the problem occurred, and the circumstances which led to it, where applicable.
- Budgeted Custom Start, Player HQ located in Second Contact II Flashpoint

If you are able to reproduce the problem, then please include the steps someone else should take to do so.
- Grab materials from the player stash in the personal office
- Elevator to Trader Corner crafting station
- Craft EMP Bomb, Spacefly Caviar etc.
- Attempt to use elevator back to the personal office. Control panel non-responsive.

Teleporting to another station or another ship will fix the issue around 2/3 of the time, occasionally an exit from the game is required. There was one instance where when I teleported to another ship and tried to use its elevator the same behavior presented.
It's time for your cavity search.

Not sure with the new physics, but a low-impact workaround from the past was just to press F2-F1 to change the viewpoint and back again, and after that unresponsive panels usually worked. Obviously this is not a fix to the issue though, even should it work in the beta.

Seems like you are referring to a save in your report but there is none to download, would be of help if we had it.
