(SEE BELOW.) CURRENTLY NO KNOWN way yo recover missing body parts while in prison. CIG knows the Prison mission script needs to be re-written to fix it. REPORTED fixed in 4.1.1 (test all backers PTU.) COMMENT: This is one of the oldest mission scripts in the game written with an old system by devs no longer in the company. Historically bugs which can be worked around or avoided completely (prison can be avoided) get lower priority than stability bugs and CIG IS WORKING on a re-write which cannot be released as a "hotfix." As the game progresses into new tech and new features issues with old tech get exposed. Star Citizen Live development refocus: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2374062445 Players have reported even without visor working it's possible to Loot and Melee your way out. Loot: User needs to be able to use F interaction and equip a backpack. F to loot a corpse. Top right arrow to open old inventory UI. Close UI. F to loot corpse, should be able to loot now. Loot. Should be able to equip backpack and then go on to loot gems. When Visor/head not broken Oxy Replenish missions are better than mining for earning time off. Do lawless stuff in Pyro not Hurston or don't get caught. Prison don'ts (increases the time): die leave walkways or tunnels, fall off stairs (considered escaping. warning low gravity) try to escape backspace o Long Loads and stuck Region: Increase in this is due to player exiting the game not using ESC or during server errors (be more patient.) https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/51473/thread/current-server-issues-solutions-as-of-sunday-oct-1 60012 (region locked closing the client during server error): Bearded-CIG "The long term fix for the match maker putting people into crash looping locations is going into 4.1.1. An important thing to note, this isn't going to make 60012 errors go away. It's just looking to address this one specific use case. I'm already noticing that there's some other situations where this error happens and I'm looking into those as well." CHARACTER REPAIR: 15 minute Lock Out 20-60 minutes recommended. Longer the better. Only does THIS: 1) Temporarily removes you from the previous server shard. Will return to same shard unless REGION CHANGE (not best.) 2) Places your character at Primary. 3) Fixes graphical issues with the appearance of your character mannequin (head/eyes/mobiglass). Mostly used to solve so-called server/shard/region lock. DOES NOT FIX- Install, Most Error Codes, load times, broken ships, hangars, elevators, QT, Jump gates, inventory, recover cargo, purchases, lag/performance, reset rep or crime stat or any other game bugs. Does not change: Reputation, Inventory, Auec o Heartseaker Ball Turret Missing Guns work-around: https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-157182 Courtesy of @Vallexian "Store ship, remove the gimbals of the turret (only gimbals not the ball turret), save it, call up ship, self destroy the ship, claim it, and tadaaa, your guns are back" o Prevent running out of Quantum fuel due to refuel bug: Manually refill the QD up to just a bit less than 100%, then auto refill the Hydrogen and then auto refuel QT again to 100%. This seems to help syncing the amounts. o Ship damage on claim/retrieve: If your current hangar size is correct for the ship you need to retrieve there do not use the Lobby ASOPs. If the current hanger size is too small or no hangar button, use lobby ASOP and give the hangar an extra 30 seconds before getting in the elevator. This can also happen in the hangar ASOP retrieve when the server load is very high. o Ship does not refuel completely: Store, retrieve, refuel o Cannot tractor locked ship cargo grid: Known cause- Refinery orders transferred to non-stored ship.
