Fixed bugs or working as designed (WAD)
Here you find a list of reports, which were either fixed or are considered as working as designed (WAD) by Egosoft. For a complete list of the fixes, improvements and additions made via updates, please see the Update Information thread.

  Tutorial
  • [4.20 HF1] [FIXED] Tutorial mission instructions were not clear

The interaction menu is a fundamental aspect necessary to play the game and is not functional when using HOTAS.

There is no way to highlight or select anything in the “interaction menu” (f) so things like ship boarding, claiming ships, etc. are not possible using HOTAS.

I try to create bindings in the “Menu Navigation” section of “Settings” but it does not allow any changes. I click on a key, choose a binding and nothing happens; it still shows the original binding.


VR system = Valve Index
Controllers = X52 pro

CPU = i7-6850K
