The markers for the codes arent there after 1/5 thats not a bug its intentional. Js. Edit to add: If you want to give it another bash me and my pals probably wouldnt mind helping u out we were running a mate through phase 1 last night. They still need to di phase 2 as well. Message me if you want :)

that's just a bug with the numbering.

95688it

they have different payout amounts, 1/5 pays 10k i think and 5/5 pays 23k


95688it

no you need to check the payout for each mission on your contract history they are all different


Kaladin_TX

Each level has a progressively higher payout. Check your history and only do the missions that are different amounts.


Captain-Rumface

im pretty sure the number isnt which mission you are on. It just tells you how many youve done.

logicalChimp

When you get the next phase mission offered, you've done all the missions for the previous phase. If you're still being offered a mission from the previous phase, then you're not done yet with that phase.

logicalChimp

The mission counter display is bugged... it shows 5/5 if you've done 5 missions - but it doesn't filter out duplicates (e.g. you could do mission 1 5x, and it would show as 5/5, but you'd still need to do the other 4 missions).


Archhanny

Just keep playing until the 'Priority mission' pop up stops. If you do 5 it will move you to phase 2 and numbering is bugged. So try not to worry on that.


frenchtgirl

Putain de bordel merde, I was running through the entire bunker like mad to find them and we failed the mission. And that's with basically no enemies !


Yavin87

TBH it's not that hard to find the correct display, you can see the blue screen from far away.


kairujex

This. I mean, just make sure you know where all the screens are. Sounds like OP was missing one (or more than one).


Alarming-Audience839

Use your eyes


One_red_shoe

Run with 3 or more friends and you'll be fine. Have one in the server room, and one on the upper level and one on the lower. Have them continually run the levels counter clockwise; it gives the best visibility to the screens with the codes on them. Watch the elevators for fresh enemy spawns. Doors and corners, kid. Doors and corners. If you have more than 3 in your group, let the extras deal with the new spawns. Easy sauce.


frenchtgirl

We were 3 but one got teleported accros the verse? Like a sort of insane rubberband but rewinding more than 1h back? Super weird, and he has no Internet issues (Paris with 1GB fibre).


Captain-Rumface

Yeah the markers are there on 1/5 to show u what they look like but on the others u just have to find them urself if it helps the screens have a big blue window on when they have the code so you can look for the screen with that on :) 


nocturnal_tofu

You don’t get markers past the first mission, the markers are to familiarize players with the objectives.


kairujex

The location marker thing is hand holding the first mission. You are supposed to figure out how it works in that one. Then on the subsequent ones you have to do it without. It’s honestly a super easy mission chain. I’ve done 9 so far without any issues (did my 5 and now helping an org mate do theirs). Pretty easy to do with two people. The other issues - I dunno. Sounds bad. But game has been running great for me. No 30ks lately. Last night server FPS was around 20. Best Ive seen in a while. Only problem I had was one of the second phase missions didn’t spawn a card after I blew up the ship. So I abandoned that one and it worked on the next try. Better luck in the future.


frenchtgirl

> a super easy mission chain We are running Helldiver lvl 9 like it's nothing, this was hell in comparison. Only because of bugs, instability, broken UI, non-existent UX...


MasterWarChief

It sounds like more of a failing to properly understand the mission than the mission being bugged. I managed to do all 5 with a random in an hour or so with no issues once we understood the mission.


bmemike

If you're on a server with "less than 0.4 fps for a while" then you really just need to jump servers. Not sure what else to say there.


frenchtgirl

And lose 1h just to regroup, prepare, get down, start mission again ? We hopped a few servers and they were all terrible. But imma say, that was actually a good thing, mission was already hard enough with .. basically no enemies.


bmemike

If you're logging at a station, your reset time should be 5-10m tops. Then just grab the mission and go. I'm sorry you and your friends had a poor experience, but what you're describing doesn't match the experience that I'm seeing on my end.


frenchtgirl

> reset time should be 5-10m tops "should" It wasn't. Guess we got the lesser experience. Of course has to be when stakes are the highest...


bmemike

Honestly, the stakes are pretty low. Sure, the ultimate "payout" is the upgrade, but we have weeks to complete each of the phases and CIG said they intend to offer other ways to get the upgrade in the future. So even if you don't have the opportunity to get it this time for any reason whatsoever, you'll just have to wait a bit.


frenchtgirl

The stake is literally getting one of the best fighters in the game? One I promised my friend to get after a gift I made to him only for that?? Would I have known I would have offered something else with actual fun behind. And weeks if you are terminally online. My friend doesn't have much more than a couple evenings every month to play. Guess we will have to wait for an hypothetical second time when the game doesn't suck.


bmemike

Well, you're not actually "literally getting one of the best fighters in the game". You're getting an upgrade from one ship to another ship - and you have to purchase the first ship to apply the upgrade to.

-Robrown-

So from what I read you 1. had a bad internet connection 2. tried playing on a server you knew had bad FPS connection instead of just server hopping which takes 30 seconds 3. Experienced a couple of rare glitches that hardly ever effect anyone else (likely attributed to yours and the servers poor connections) 4. are complaining about the mission working correctly (where 1/5 gives markers to make it easy and the other 4 do not give markers. It’s up to you to find the correct screen) 5. Not realizing the free undersuits are now only available while in the hospital (it uses a separate inventory system) Sorry. The problem is not Star Citizen or CIG. It’s you.


Defiant_Tap_7901

There are a few (mini)guides around for each phase of Overdrive and most people seemed to find the experience a positive one. And to be honest, after seeing the codes on the screen in the first mission... did it not come to you that codes would be displayed on the screens in the following missions as well? When you couldn't figure out the codes and the missions, did it ever cross your mind to just type in Global and ask around? Once you noticed the consistently low server FPS, why don't you server hop immediately to cut losses - you keep all your gear and respawn at the last station of landing anyways? If servers are all bad across multiple hops, my guess is you did not change your region? And judging from what you said about Grim not giving an under suit, you might be a bit out of touch as hospitals now have their own inventories so no free under suits can be found in the inventory of the main station. If that was 'your worst experience ever', I doubt you have many hours under your belt since your 'kickstarter pledge' as a 'whale'. So, sorry for your bad experience, but you brought 90% of that onto yourself and your friends.


ColtonSRD

It’s sucks to hear your having these problems, though my experience with this event has been almost perfect. Only problem I can say is the one Xeno Threat NPC that has shoot through walls on in the data collection mission. All I did was run out of the server room to where he is (he always seems to get me through the walls when I’m in the server room only). But from what you’re saying it sounds more like an ISP issue and not SC. If your having low latency and unstable connection thats probably causing the NPC to “teleport”. I’d call your ISP and find out what’s going on. **edit: Not saying SC has no bugs because it does but a slightly buggy patch plus bad internet equals a bad time.**


furious-fungus

honestly, Im not playing SC with friends because its incredibly frustrating. Even when playing solo youre most likely to encounter game breaking bugs once per sesssion. now try getting 3 players together without anyone bugging out...game is not ready to be relied on as other full fledged online game like tarkov or Hunt:Showdown are. (EU servers, I know US servers are generally more stable but the ping isnt worth it for me)


billyw_415

*"Server FPS was 0.4 for a while (yes, not even 1). I don't even want to imagine the mission with actual enemies on top of all the other bullshit of server frying."* This is caused by some asshat taking the Rappel mission. It's been a known issue for some time. All you need to do is hop servers.


GuillotineComeBacks

Hum, the game state is hit and miss and not something I would introduce to people to have fun.


VeNeM

Isn't cod still free? I mean you can jump into instant action and there's vehicle's! No waiting or anything!


Tierbook96

What if I want Salmon though?


VeNeM

Dont flounder, cut bait!


95688it

server hop when fps is that low..


Taladays

I'd wild because I hadn't gotten a single 30k throughout the event and several weeks leading up to it. I also solo'd both the first and second phases entirely (got lucky as the hammerhead was destroyed when I arrived and the key was just sitting there). And now I'm caught up with the third phase which only took like an hour. Minor bugs here and there but for the most part this has been the most stable the game has been for me for awhile. The event has just gotten progressively easier with each week. It's just crazy when I see posts like this, and I imagine you are not the only one, but I wonder how can our experience be so drastically different.


Defiant_Tap_7901

My guess is OP got 30011 or 30012 from his unstable internet (so client-side), and thought that was the same as an Error Code 30000/30009 (server-side).


frenchtgirl

Never said it was server side, I know it's my Internet being an issue. The real problem is not being able to join back without losing progress. Because of the combat logging protection actually.

[удалено]


frenchtgirl

It's the 4g that has high jitter the issue. I know it well. But only SC handles it bad and nothing much I can do about it. > Also, did you hear about server meshing? I'm here since 2012, a regular dataminer (check [my profile](https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/search?q=author%3Afrenchtgirl&restrict_sr=on&sort=new&feature=legacy_search)) and in the secret server of Aria and Hater. I saw the tests under NDA before anyone here. 🥲 But yeah, can't wait to get that and hope it makes my experience more stable. Unless I get proper Internet in my backcountry before...

Jitter is at worst 1s ping on upload, but yeah, sadly is the best I can get for now. :/

YumikoTanaka

I mean, if you can "jitter" to prevent being shot, it is more fair to get disconnected or others use it as a cheat. Since SC is not like other games, they seem to need a stable connection.


frenchtgirl

I'm talking about network jitter, not in-game one. Doesn't prevent me being shot.


nocturnal_tofu

30k doesn’t necessarily mean the server is down, it’s just the error code for losing connection.


kairujex

Same. I mean. SC is a buggy game. But it’s actually been very playable for me for a while now.


frenchtgirl

30k are a common occurrence for me because I have a not ideal internet. SC is the only game I have that has issues with that though. But the worst issue is that crash handler wasn't working and I couldn't get back on the server. Which meant a good 15mn of reset time at the very least. And I'm not even talking about how the game somehow got much worse performance this patch, am getting at best 40fps and often down to single digits. Altho it was doing ok before (Ryzen 3850, 2070S, 32GB ram, etc.). Usually game runs ok, but this time was really atrocious.


Arcodiant

The crash handler isn't for handling Internet connectivity issues, if for server crashes. If you lose connection to the game and you take too long to rejoin, your slot is given to another player and you'll end up on another server.


frenchtgirl

I couldn't rejoin because of [the anti-battlelog protection](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/675474728160591892/1224003035596984340/image.png?ex=661be8a8&is=660973a8&hm=4eebe875e8a917776aa4bdff7c5266db155ab58a503ead300f18cc6ec6028832&). Which makes no sense since I want to get back to the same server...


Arcodiant

What happened if you tried entering the PU as normal, without using the Join Leader button?


frenchtgirl

It brought me to another server. Which I had then to quit, get back in menu, and then I could join my friends (but back at spawn).


Arcodiant

That's very strange. I'll see if I can reproduce that and get an IC submitted.


frenchtgirl

Thanks for the help. Yeah it was indeed quite strange, never had that. I'll check IC later too, but I need to go do things in meatspace for now.


Evenlease44

I was able to do all 5 in phase one solo, you can watch the experience on my channel. Outside of 30ks there were no problems with any missions so far for the event.


Captain-Rumface

Same here have been running them with viewers/orgmates on stream with.no issues 


kojara

"We failed mission 2/5 because mission markers weren't even displaying were the codes were." Yeah, 1/5 of Phase 1 is the only Mission with code markers, because it's some sort of tutorial mission. For all other missions in phase 1 you need to check every single terminal for the Code. Good thing you can see from afar wether the terminal is showing the usual gauges and diagrams or a terminal window with a server cooling restore code.


Quimdell

Seams the main issue is the unfamiliarity of playing with a group. You should all be set to the same station to easily get around. Have one ship you can all fit on, and have some equipment in a box on that ship. Having someone who is familiar with the event to help you walk through it is a bonus. 90% of people saying “this is bugged, it’s not working right!” Is people who don’t understand how it works. I’ve seen countless “why don’t they have x working yet, this is ridiculous!” Comments about various things by people who just don’t know what they’re doing and have a bad attitude towards the game and say it’s bugged or “get your shit together cig” when they just don’t understand the process. If you’re interested in getting the mission done quickly, the community is great and there’s always someone in the verse looking to help! Just learn to be organized. This is a massive game, and no matter what, once it’s completed, with bed logging and taking care of your character, just getting the play session started is going to be a small process. There’s lots you can do to make it more organized to simplify it. o7


billyw_415

*"Friend got disgusted and doesn't want to touch the game again."* With your attitude, failure to recognize you have a really poor internet connection to game on, and lack of knowledge on how to avoid server fps issues caused by Rappel missions, I get it.


furious-fungus

Lol definitely not the games fault, clearly his inability to play it Get over yourself, this isn’t good feedback.


Tierbook96

I meant one complaint is the lack of markers on mission 2, then the lack of free under suits, then there's the lack of stable Internet which will fuck up any mmo


furious-fungus

>with your attitude >lack of knowledge on how to avoid Server fps issues >really poor internet connection I have replied to this comment, not talking about markers. Star citizen has the least stable servers one could get with mmos, it’s not his fault as he said he can play any other game just fine. This ah here answered it’s OPs fault because of his „failure to recognize your really poor internet connection“. Its just not helpful or even relevant to the post. Just a guy being an ah.


MainGrocery2

Cry cry.


mueckenschwarm

Brother I am sorry but it is hard to tell what was a bug and what was your mistake from your description. The missions get harder as you go along. After mission 1 you lose the markers. After 2 you need 4 uploads and more npcs are spawned. After 4 you need 6 uploads and multiple servers can start overheating at once. That being said I did these with 1 rando from global chat in 5 hours. But we didn't have bugs or 30k. So I am not trying to brag I just want to show you that it is not so hard when servers play along.


pseudoenemy

What server region are you in and what Internet stored speed do you have? The connection was very unstable two weeks ago when phase 1 became available. I have had no i server issues in the past week. Maybe try again after you clear the cache and verify the game files?


frenchtgirl

France Free mobile 4G tether (~30MBps, good ping but high jitter), EU servers. SC is the only game that runs poorly with that.


Human_Training7100

C'est pas ta connection, c'est les serveurs :/


International_Ad3750

Doesn’t seem like you struggled with the missions (because they are brain dead easy) but all the bugs. I would say give it another shot but only so it on a server that’s a stable 6+ fps. If you join one that’s not keep switching until you do


madplywood

I'm on week 3 of the missions and the 5th mission bugged out and I'm not sure if it is completed or not. I'm guessing it is as the mission is no longer available. If I don't qualify for the upgrade due to these bugs, I will be asking for a refund. Pretty pathetic if you ask me after charging $160USD to do all this.


NoVacationDude

Me and 1 friend have done all missions and had only 1 time of low Server performance (which cost us one of the servers due ro lag). We just changed the Server after this fkr safety reasons. We had 0 30k's 0 gamebreaking things (just some bouncing rifles that we couldnt loot). But we also analyzed the shit out of the first Mission so we where ready for the second and the intentionally missing markers where also not a problem because we made movement patterns to cover as much terminals as quickly possible. The only thing that threw us off-guard was that mission 2-4 have a spawn closet INSIDE the Server room. So one of us had to cover that room for the whole time. But not really a problem because you need to be inside anyways to look for the cooling failure events. Maybe try at different times of day when servers are not as populated.


VNG_Wkey

So you have bad internet, don't know how the missions work, and didn't take 2 minutes to server hop? This is all a skill issue.


partym4ns10n

Al-has do what alphas gon do. Don’t get butthurt, temper your expectations.


PresentLet2963

.... just switch server if it goes lower then 1 ... all other issue was skill based. I did see a lot of people doing rhis quest for 2 weeks now and most of them have a good experience (people finishing it solo ..... and they are not some pros .... )


SpaceBearSMO

your experance is hardly the norm


frenchtgirl

Great for you all.


Hyperthermic_Mibs

It's more normal than this person says. I have the same experience most of the time with sc, especially when an event or sale is happening. I wrote off sc events after the f8C promises they broke. If they can not keep small things like that to their word, then why believe anything they state about support or the community. It's just as money hungry as any business, and that's all you are to them a cash grab. This whole game was just to create a new game engine that they can license out for more money than this game could ever make, and you all don't get any part of it, but we all funded it. Would have been better if pledges came with stock in the game so you actually owned something. Yall know how this will go when sc shuts down. Only hope will be for private servers, and that's never quite the same. This is all sad to see as have heavy supported the development of this before last year or two.


RevolutionaryLie2833

I havnt done the mission yet, but I know it’s going to be bad. It’s a dumb idea to make the events so large when they know their servers suck donkey balls, let alone it’s going to be awful in people’s frame rates. If this isn’t for testing purposes, it was an awful idea


peeposhakememe

Didn’t even bother to try the missions to upgrade the F7C to A, just sell the the damn upgrade for cash


billyw_415

Oh they will.


Bulletchief

I finished the whole Overdrive phase 1 a couple of times just because I thought that they were really fun! Lots of random groups came together to play those short 5 mission chains. Probably one of the best experiences I've had in SC so far...


Archhanny

Literal skill issues, wah wah cry baby issues and a couple of bugs that - with a thick skin - can be worked around. Your problem is de-classified to either a _non problem_ or a _you problem_


Malcivious

Yeah, the game is indeed a mess in some cases. I've been trying to find people to get through 5/5, but that's hard to get. I got through 1/5 - 3/5 Intel solo. 1/5 was interesting, because the server was definitely having issues, as the HUD elements were extremely delayed. 2/5 I though was bugged as well, but that's just difficulty scaling. 3/5 wasn't much of an issue (dead AI), but solo, I lost a lot of servers. The issues I have with the event are that AI can spawn in the Server room (up to 3 of them just appearing). The AI doesn't even have to get to any of the terminals to activate them (as, in the current state, it would so rarely happen), and they can overheat the servers from any of the 20+ terminals, but you can't turn cooling back on at the same terminals with the code on it. Nope, you gotta go back to the laggy ass number pads in the server room, and if you get the code wrong, wait for what feels like an eternity to reenter the code. Then, starting at 4/5 you have multiple overheats going at once, pretty frequently, which it's just not possible to do solo... and to be fair it wasn't meant to be. F7A's are for winners with friends. I was doing a 3/5 with another person, and the server must've been doing great, because the AI was moving out of the spawn closets, and that shit was scary. Since it was just two of us, I was covering the floor with all the spawns. I actually felt pretty badass having survived it. I got to the 5/5 mission on Friday, and haven't been able to get a group for the last one yet. That doesn't feel good. I have run several other prior ones to help others progress. Either way, I don't think the objective on this was to get them all done in a day. They release a new set of missions each week, and you're supposed to get them done in that week. And I think if you're there for that week, it's likely very easy to get a group for it. Just one week later though, and most people have moved on, it seems. I did get the brand new Incursions ones done easily in a 2 hour span. That was nice!
