Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

PAR plot cypher not spawning - It is indeed there.

Post by Ghizmo »

Version and language: Latest version on steam 7.50 (553255). English. No mods.
Boron start, Emergence.
I don't have a dxdiag for you: I play on GeForce NOW.

So I'm following the PAR plot and it seems the cypher that needs to be retrieved on the HOP destroyer is not spawning when I dock.
The guidance system doesn't point my anywhere, and walking around the dock i don't find the package either.

I have reloaded multiple times, and tried both with the M and the S ship. I tried looking around on the other S dock as well, but it isnt fully accessible and when I use the goggles it doesn't seem like it spawned in the inaccessible locations either.
Savefile: https://1drv.ms/u/c/002ecd804dc0fe05/ER ... Q?e=CcxhkS
I'm parked outside the gate in the S. I reloaded like 6x and every single time it is the same result.

OneDrive keeps showing an error every time I click on the link to download the save.

Is the file still there/public? Or is OneDrive just broken for now?

The OneDrive download link works for me. (In my experience OneDrive can sometimes act difficult if you don't already have it set up for use, ideally by having set up your own OneDrive account beforehand.)

The package is there in the docking area as intended. Just load the save, dock at the Odysseus and look around the docks (both S and M docks). You will find it if you search thoroughly - it took me about 2 minutes after landing to find it. These plot missions only guide you to the correct general docking area and not to the target item itself which can be quite well concealed from usual foot approaches to it. You will see it when get get close looking into niches and corners. The RNG can sometimes choose some very difficult hiding places from you, but this is not one of those thankfully.

Ah I see. I figured it would always be in a set location, not a general area on a dock.
Got it, thanks!

We noticed that there was a bug in this mission after all, namely that there should have been guidance to the crate. This was broken if the crate randomly spawned in this exact position. In a future update, this will be fixed, and the crate will always spawn in the same location.
