I'm working through the single player mission. Once I've taken care of the jamming ships, a message comes up to hold fire to Request Supply Droid.


The game is crashing every time. Is there a place to report bugs or troubleshoot this? The game freezes. The first time I had to force a PC reboot. Now I can ALT-TAB out. Single player is unplayable in this state.


Help?

EDIT: Game completely freeze/crashes. Story mode is completely unplayable for me. Please help...

EDIT: Edited for mission where this is happening: 1: Form the Vanguard

EDIT: Completely restarted the mission and can replicate. This is definitely a bug. Thankfully there is practice mode and multiplayer. But still, it would be nice to be able to play the story.

  • Hi there

    I dont know if I got lucky by waiting a little bit, but the 6 key on my keyboard is also the resupply shortcut.  I pushed this and the game unfroze and let me continue.

    It's funny you should mention that. I went back to story mode again today and after waiting, alt tabbing out and back in again, that very message about pressing 6 came up. It would appear this issue can go away.

    And thankfully I'm past it and back into story mode. Thanks for taking the time.

  • I think this happens if you don't have a button mapped...

    Hold "Joystick 1" symbol without a button number is likely a bug.
    I think the game assumes you have a button to push and is awaiting for you to click the NULL button on joystick 1.\

  • Also when you need the targeting wheel first time...

  • Even with a button assigned to targeting wheel still seems to freeze.

    Alt-Tab trick does bring up keyboard button  5 option, but game won't continue after using targeting wheel...

  • I guess I better map the Target Wheel then!!  I need a good map for my Thrustmaster Warthog ... at this stage I am trying to copy my Elite Dangerous bindings ..
