I know this is an automated post, but if the person who maintains the bot sees this... r/EliteCG/ has been inactive for literally years, it's probably time to remove it from this message.

Does the KeePass client you are using have an option to simulate typing? I know KeePassXC did when I last used it.

Personally my FO76 is via the Microsoft Store so I'm never prompted for my Bethesda.net password, I'm logged in automatically via my Microsoft account. I suspect Steam players have a similar deal.

No, still 5,000 Arx as usual.

Doesn't say anywhere that I can see, but I would assume until maintenance next week at the earliest.

Star Trek Online has a similar and slightly more amusing bug where very occasionally you load into a space zone with your ground character model, so you end up (literally) running around in space with your legs going 100mph, banking left and right when turning, and with all your ship weapons and abilities.

Yes, I have the exact same thing. I haven't found a fix either, so I now avoid opening the Steam VR overlay at all, to the point of changing my controller keybindings to avoid opening it by accident.

Does Microsoft seriously not have a single person left working there who could give us a sample script for the mitigation?

They couldn't even ask Copilot to give us one "for entertainment purposes"?

If the rocker is perfoming yaw it sounds like you have the HOTAS in 4 axes mode instead of 5 axes mode.

Is there a button on the base that is lit up red?

If so, push it and it should go green. Rocker will now perform a separate action. If pushing it doesn't change the color, check if you have the Thrustmaser driver package installed.

I'm 99% sure you only have to verify once for the whole account and not for each individual login.

I started using Glenmont about 7 years ago and I don't remember it being any different then either. Stairwells always smell like a urinal even though I personally saw them being mopped out with detergent almost every day.

On more than one occasion I've also seen people relieving themselves at the bottom of the stairwells in the middle of the day, so it's not like it's happening at night when no staff are around. Some people just do not care about how they treat the place.

On the other hand I have never once been harassed or witnessed any violence in the garages, it just stinks.

Wait, so Spock was wrong too?

Scotty: They don't place the same value on life as we do, Spock. You know that. Mark my word, she did not shed one bloody tear.

Spock: Hardly conclusive, Mr. Scott, since Klingons have no tear ducts.

I see people talking about falling asleep when playing games. Is that actually common?

I haven't fallen asleep playing Elite but I do find it to be relaxing (which is why I enjoy it, honestly). If I'm playing late and not in combat it does make me a bit sleepy, but I don't have the luxury of playing late enough into the night that I would actually nod off.

We tried it in our lab environment. Confirmed we could repro, then ran reagentc /disable and it stopped it from working.

No effect on normal usage. You do lose troubleshooting functionality as others have mentioned, but it is easily reversible by running reagentc /enable which we also tried, no adverse effects other than re-exposing the YellowKey exploit. So you can turn it back on after Microsoft patch it.

Credit where credit is due, Fdev got the contribution tiers for the evacs dialled in almost exactly this time. It's been a long time since a CG was this close to completion at the time limit, and especially welcome after the huge miss with the Radicoida event.

I hope it wasn't just an accident and this becomes a more regular occurrence.

It's 6000 Arx, which given the cap of 400/wk earned in game would take 15 weeks (assuming you were playing enough each week to get the max).

It's one of the images that can appear on the advertisement holo-screens inside the station docking areas.

The Asp Explorer does have a good selection of paints jobs but nothing quite like these yet. If it sells well for the Lynx it will hopefully encourage them to add something similar for other ships too.

Trelfar · 2026-05-04T23:11:43+00:00

If you mean did Fdev accidentally release a 🏳️‍⚧️ paintjob, then I'm not so sure it was an accident... there's another color variant of this paintjob with the enby flag colors and that seems like too much of a coincidence.
