Loss of ship's controls

Post by tripleboost »

Hello, I was flying to the void in the idea of exploring because those damn Xen's had been spreading around. Anyhow, after I entered the void, I totally lost control of some aspects related to the ship.

I am unable to control speed, it does go into cruising mode if I activate it (shift+1) but speed isn't increased. Decreasing or increasing speed isn't an option either.

My ship no longer auto rolls either. I checked if it somehow reseted settings, but this isn't the case either. I have no clue what just happened, but my ship is unflyable at the moment. (tried restarting the game, etc.)

The funny thing is that autopilot works 100%. If I have autopilot on and use cruise, it goes to normal 4km/s (it's the slowing down part after stopping cruise that's sketchy :D)

After all had happened, I managed to limp away from void hoping it was just a temporar thing. I got into an argon warf but the thing continues. Oh, also when I turn the ship, the momentum carries, but I can only turn ship by boosting it into the said direction for it to turn.

I will try to figure it out on my own, but if anyone is able to tell me what is for me to do, I'd really appreciate it.

Try hitting Esc twice when it happens and see if that helps. If the issue survives a restart/reload then probably not.

Otherwise, please see the first announcement in this forum about the information required to allow us to help you properly.

I've added some paragraphing to your post to make it a bit more readable.

Hello, thank you for your reply!

I located the issue. It was with the controller settings. I don't have a controller / joystick installed, but for some reason after selecting everything into "off", everything started operating normally.

I hope this helps others too if they come across a similiar problem.
