September Update - Patch 2.

The team are currently investigating measures to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Update: The team has investigated the disconnect and mission list communication issue for console players, and we have implemented a change that should reduce the amount of times players encounter this.​

However, if you have any further problems, please let us know.​

Crashes/Stability

Fixed a softlock that could occur when trading materials at a material trader

Fixed a crash that could occur during the new starter experience

Fixed softlock that could occur when hiring crew members

Fixed a crash that could occur after clearing a save and skipping the new starter experience

Fixed a softlock that would occur when attempting to perform a hyperspace jump in an Imperial Clipper that has a Ship Kit applied

COVAS

When buying a new ship, your selected COVAS will automatically be inherited from your previous ship.

When purchasing SRVs and fighters, they will inherit the COVAS currently selected for your ship.

For new commanders, the applicable localised COVAS will now automatically be selected based on which language is set in the options menu

Diamondback Explorer

Fixed mismatched Paint Jobs for the Diamondback Explorer

Exploration

Fixed a case where PlayStation 4 commanders' First Discoveries were not appearing correctly

Interdiction

Fixed an issue where interdiction wouldn't end after the player submitted

Livery

Fixed an issue that meant the confirmation popup failed to appear after selecting an item the player owns

Fixed an issue that could cause the sort feature to not sort correctly

Fixed an issue that could prevent the SRV livery options to appear after leaving the Dashboard items category

Updated various Bobblehead preview cameras to give a better view of the item

Removed the 'preview' option on Engine Colours in livery, as it was not intended

Changed message from 'Outfitting Unavailable' to 'Livery Unavailable' when the livery isn't accessible

Updated the 'remove item option' message to 'clear the equipped item'

Renamed 'Back' to 'Exit'

Localisation

Fixed various translation errors

Multi-Crew

Fixed an issue that could cause the host's ship to disappear when deploying a fighter

New Starter Experience

Fixed an issue that could cause visual issues with the star in Matet when the player arrives in the system

Fixed an issue that could cause the weapons to automatically fire after being returned to the training area

Removed the ability to damage ship modules as this can lead to the player becoming stuck during the experience

Removed the ability for players to view and turn off modules during the experience

Outfitting

Fixed an issue that could cause incorrect weapon mounts to be displayed (fixed weapons showing as gimballed, for example)

Pause Menu

Combined 'restart training' and 'exit options' into one confirmation screen. Now, when the player selects to either restart or exit they then choose to either: Restart the checkpoint or the entire Starter Experience/Training Exit to main menu or desktop

This new restart/exit option UI is also inline with other areas of the game as well. This update fixes text truncation in other languages and unnecessary duplication of options, without increasing the amount of clicks needed to exit or restart

Rendering

Fixed an issue that caused stars in the night sky to disappear (creating, in some cases, 'hard edges')

Server

Updated local news articles for faction summaries, engineer progression and megaship itineraries

Fixed many causes of transaction server disconnections (error codes: Scarlet Krait, Magenta Krait, Black Adder, Yellow Adder)

Ship HUD

Corrected the schematic of a targeted starport to match its actual orientation

Fixed an issue that made ship modules appear twice in the module tab after swapping to a different ship

Fixed the edge case where the ship HUD could be switched off (by the Thargoid shutdown effect) during a jump to Supercruise, causing the HUD to never appear again.

Store

Changed the Store buttons that appear on Port Services menu and main menu to orange and reordered them: Port Services - Livery > Holo-me > Store Main Menu - Livery > Buy Expansions > Store > Buy ARX

Fixed an issue on Xbox One that causes the preview camera to pan without any player input

Re-added a missing scroll bar

Packs now display how many items are in it

Weapons

Fixed Enforcer Canons being unable to be restocked through synthesis
