Hey i have a Problem....
I used the cargo bay hacker a few times but now i cant use it anymore. after i realized that i does not work anymore i just waited until i can buy another one ( another ship too ). but nope! its still not working i already tried to set some other hotkey's and i dont know what i can (or should) do now to make it work again. i think it's broken for this whole savegame.
I hope you can help me with that... i really want to use it.
(and sorry i try my best but my english isn't the best)

Are there any messages when you press the hotkey? The Freight Scanner or the Transporter device are required but it should have a pop-up message if you are missing one.

What does "It doesn't work anymore" mean? What happens when you press the Cargo Bay Hacker hotkey? It normally should tell you why it doesn't work.

Sometimes while hacking a random menu pops up and asks, if you want to cancel the hack. If you choose 'yes', the CBH never works again, but if you choose 'no', the menu disappears and the CBH can be used again.

Thus you're out of luck and need to find an old save before the bug occured, or wait for a patch.

Oh yes you're right... There was Something i couldn't read because there was a Xenon right next to me... I Just pressed Something to get rid of that Menu...
Oh damn.... That was before i even had a single Station (i dont Count the Plot Stuff) and now i have more than 200 Stations.... Load an old save is Not an Option... I dont even have that old saves...
Is there anything i can do now? (I dont want *modified* but If i really have to i will wait until i have Like all the achievements)

Not that I know of, but you can still earn every achievement without the CBH. Just have to earn them the honest way

I just tested to see if I could trigger this bug. I was able to repeatedly answer both 'yes' and 'no' to the 'Cancel' pop-up without any problems. What seems to trigger it is if the ship being hacked turns hostile while the pop-up is awaiting input.

So i was Just really unlucky.... But then i think it happens with every reason why the cbh dont Work with the targeted ship anymore. Like a travel through a Gate or the target travels through a Gate (while you havn't answered to the cancel Pop-up). I really Hope that can be fixed with the next Patch.
Oh and do you know when Patch 1.2 will come?

Please upload a savegame somewhere so that I can have a look. Savegames are stored under Documents\Egosoft\X3FL\save. Simply upload it to a file sharing website (like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, easyupload, file-upload.net etc.) and post the link here.
