Elite: Dangerous Dev Tracker

Hey folks. A few people have mentioned an issue with logging into Legacy servers. We've released a fix that should resolve this shortly so you should be able to login again. it may take a while for some servers to finish updating but if you try and relog you should be able to play again.

Greetings Commanders!

Sadly, we are unable to celebrate the holiday season with you in our usual Christmas livestream this year.

However, we look forward to seeing you in January 2024 to bring you more Elite Dangerous news!

Has the issue of friendly npcs (such as system security) shooting at you been resolved with this release?

This is a known issue we are investigating but is not resolved in this particular update.

Hi folks. We're aware of an issue with the servers not being back for everyone and are working to get that sorted ASAP

Greetings Commanders!

Elite Dangerous Live/4.0 servers are now available and Update 17.01 is now live!

Thread is now open for feedback, urgent issues (Please do still use the Issue Tracker) or void born chanting you may wish to share.

Servers can sometimes take a while for the hamsters to get to full speed in their treadmills, so please don't panic if the update/servers are not available for you right away.

Don't worry Paul, a bit of salt is often just the thing for dealing with nameless horrors! ;)

I tried that but a horrifying voice from deep within my tattered soul just replied with "[FONT=book antiqua]Mmm. Seasoning[/FONT]".

OK, here's my feedback. All three of my pilots updated quickly and efficiently.
Only one problem. One of the biggest bugs I see pilots complaining about is https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/62015.
[HEADING=2]System Authority and Power Play agents unprovoked agro.[/HEADING]
8 pages of reports. Count em... 80 reports (per the tracker). That's just the pilots that bothered to report it. I would say that means over 10K pilots have had this issue, many dying because Security Forces are firing on ships when scanning them.
This is keeping pilots from completing massacre missions.

What's it gonna take for you to pay attention and fix this?

Folks, whilst I appreciate your antagonism towards one other does provide ample nutrients to the cosmic horror that keeps hiding just out of my field of vision, if you could keep your comments towards the update so it's easier to track if anything is on fire, that would be really appreciated. Gotta go now, the thing just moved closer and that's always a concern.

Hi all.
The server gremlins have been captured and the hamsters released from their grasp. You should now be able to access the game.

07 Frontier's forum team. I have one megaship name, did you fixed its missions? (independent sectors rescue)

This update includes a number of fixes for missions. If you continue to encounter an issue please be sure to update it on the Issue Tracker.

Yes, but only as New Commander.
I also can't choose between OPEN and GROUP or individual player.
There is only one start button.

Have you restarted your game? It can sometimes take a little while for all servers to catch up. If you are still getting this in the next 30 minutes or so please let us know.
