FTL not found, even though I have an FTL #278

Open FunkyHoratio opened 3 months ago

FunkyHoratio commented 3 months ago

Description

In some systems, when I jump in, the game doesn't recognise that I have an FTL drive, and I cannot jump out of the system. I have tried to deconstruct/rebuild the FTL drive, but that doesn't help. I had success once with docking another ship with FTL, and then jumping it out, and this fixed the first ship, but when I tried this another time it happened, this didn't resolve it.

Flavour affected

Steam

Operating System

Windows

Version

Alpha 9

Is it something that used to work before?

Yes, FTL usually worked fine for multiple jumps

Expected behavior

FTL to remain detected

Actual behavior

"FTL not found" error message when trying to use FTL drive

Repro steps

FTL Jumped into a new system, and then the FTL drive was no longer found. Couldn't see any reason why it happened in a particular system - I was able to jump into other systems previously, without it happening.

Can you share a savegame please?

I've also encountered this: I jumped two ships into a system, completed a contract, and was unable to jump out due to NO FTL Drive found on either ship. I thought initially it was something deeper, like the combat damaged the drive (feature request?) and it was no longer viable, but that wasn't the case. It took like an hour, but I was somehow able to click out of out it by spamming the system selection, bouncing between ships and systems and when I came back, almost magically one of the ships was aligned and I was able to jump without issue. I tried to reproduce the issue by going back to that system but now it's working as expected.

The system in question was had a failed rescue mission on it, it also constantly triggers the non-dismissable docking tutorial (logged under a different issue.) I thought that might have something to do it with, not sure. If I can get a save-game with the stuck ships I'll upload the save as well.

This has happened to me as well, I'm attaching a save file where you can see this. 08-trapped in asteroid field.zip

Okay, confirmed this is a bug from your savegame.

There is a workaround - click the 'No FTL Found' message and the 'stay' message appears. Click the 'stay' message and it switches to 'jump', and you're away. But this shouldn't be necessary, the GUI is broken somewhere.

Confirming that this impacts me as well. I tried the workaround of clicking "NO FTL FOUND" and the Stay/Jump toggles become available. Attached savegame take two.zip
