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.

[BETA] VIG turning hostile "randomly"

Post by Conkeroo »

Good Day,

Potential spoilers ahead!

I've been playing a TER Cadet start(8d 6h) with no mods and had issues with VIG randomly turning hostile all the time, seemingly from ramming my station in Windfall III The Hoard.
Initially I got them to +20 and it stopped happening, but after capturing the Erlking and succeding in an Armistice agent action i was back down to -2 eventually.
During my early hours it happened on and off, I made sure to have no banned goods or items on the ships and the station is only producing terran stuffs. I couldn't find the source and had a few annoying reloads, but setting autosaves down to 15 minutes usually didnt grief me too much.
This time around I got a good autosave, that seems to replicate the issue within a minute, no matter if I'm in system or out, at like a 50% chance I'd say.
The station was built on an earlier beta patch, the save was started 9th of may.

The files provided in the .zip are the autosave directly prior to the "happening", a manual save directly after it happens and a little video showcasing the issue, albeit poorly showcasing the system state.


Please excuse the profanity in some names :wink:

Thanks for an awesome game and a very stable beta expierience!

Best regards
Conkeroo

I haven't loaded the save but VIG consider unlicensed other faction ships carrying food rations or water in VIG/RIP sectors to be smugglers as they have the monopoly on station crew basics there. If your stations have habitations and crew wanting any of these items then you can see how that might go wrong for your ships meeting those trade offers unless you have a good enough VIG rep to be considered licensed.

The fact that the problem went away when you had good VIG rep rather supports this as a possible reason.
