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.

9.0 Scrapyard salvage Bug - Information Requested

Post by Sixalot »

i tried to do this mission while i had a vulture vanguard docked at riptide , The mission expects a 'fleet' to be delivered at riptide , the game detects 'a trader ship' at riptide and the mission continues what it's supposed to do , Poof i am driving the J.P morgan but my vulture is gone.

reloaded the game before i take the JP morgan , moved my vulture from riptide to HQ , then did the mission and all worked as intended . the mission needs to be changed that it will only accept the J.P. Morgan as the 'fleet' and not take any ship that's docked at riptide..

Please see the forum rules and provide the information requested there. In particular a link to your savegame is going to be essential to anyone trying to investigate.

Not sure it's a bug as such. Perhaps you replied to a message where Dagobas was accepting your ship. Having a freighter docked at Tidebreak may have triggered this:

from 5.1 changelog
Added option to choose which ship to transfer to Mr Dagobas Lahubasis Yorilos III in mission Scrapyard Salvage of Avarice story.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

This is the problem i'm trying to describe because there is a Hauler docked at Tidebreak , the game asume it is the J.P Morgan ship , while i'm still bizzy flying away from where the ship got stolen the mission continues as if i already have the morgan docked at tidebreak.

The provided changelog : Why in 2 million years would you want to choose what ship you gonna give to your 'new' friend ???? , i 'd have to restart the game to check if this is true..
Like really , a new friend and you want to give away a ship that cost around 2 million to build and deck out and give it to someone you just met ???????? you can have a free fresh cup of coffee at a spacebar from me when you're a new friend..

let's translate i come visit egosoft HQ as a new friend and then you give me the option for 18 brand new ferrari's just because you met me, or the stripped plonker you stole from a scrapyard..

The changelog should read : We changed the mission so that Mr Dagobas Lahubasis Yorilos III in mission Scrapyard Salvage of Avarice story will only accept the J.P. Morgan ship..

@CBJ , sorry i'm new to this game and i did not know i had to secure the savegame , it got over written while continue playing the game. the mission is : mission Scrapyard Salvage of Avarice story , dock a hauler at tidebreak then do the mission to get same result.

More likely, it thinks you're exchanging the JP Morgan for the docked ship.
The provided changelog : Why in 2 million years would you want to choose what ship you gonna give to your 'new' friend ????
When I've done this mission, Dagobas contacts you to choose which ship to give him. You can either ignore him or say no, and wait until you dock with the Morgan. At which point you should eventually get another message with options to choose which ship. If that sequence didn't play out for you, then it is a bug. Hope that clears things up a bit.
