upon being granted the first kill badge the dialog can't be clicked on during the loading screen and if you try to clear it by pressing enter before hitting esc it vanishes the loading screen and you get stuck in a sector without a ship.

I haven't done this on mobile in awhile but i distinctly remember it being fucky there too.

removing the dialog altogether makes plenty of sense to me, I'll make my next char on android to see if i get similar behavior.

Running the android tutorial and came upon a small... quirk the "Cargo Retrieval" mission refers to the cargo crates as red dots in the radar, they're magenta/pink.

mission text

"We have selected a cargo crate for you to pick up. It appears as a red dot inside a red circle on your radar"

should read as

"We have selected a cargo crate for you to pick up. It appears as a magenta dot inside a red circle on your radar"

I'd provide a picture for reference but I'm pretty damn sure you know what your radar looks like. :P

Looks like my initial report doesn't apply to android at all (specially since the android tutorial forces a kill in the training sector), gonna try reproducing it on PC again with screenshots.

Right so I was able to reproduce at least a part of it easily.
Steps to reproduce:

Make a new character on PC
Blast through tutorials 1>3
Take basic flight test mission and splode two collectors
Jump to next mission sector and the popup can't be clicked on and the loading screen hangs until either esc is pressed (sometimes pressing esc causes the loading screen to vanish and the ship doesn't load/enter the sector) and the rest of the time pressing esc clears the dialog and the mission continues.

here's what it looks like:

Sometimes the cursor gets stuck in the upper right hand corner of the screen, even when that's not the case the "continue" button can't be clicked.

In this instance I hit esc and it closed the dialog and carried on with the mission, earlier when i did the same thing it also "closed" the loading screen as in the dialog and loading screen vanished but I didn't enter the sector in a ship, I was just stuck there staring at the background.

Hmm, thanks. I feel like we've fixed this stupid ordering problem before.

I assume this was tested without plugins, vanilla client, etc?

(Also, please put different bug topics in different threads, otherwise it's nuts for us to try discussing and tracking them individually. Ie the mission text "radar color" is completely unrelated to anything else here).

Gonna run a clean test again in a few minutes, forgot about targetlist there's a real chance that's fuckin' with it.

As far as radar colour thing's concerned that's not even technically a bug it's a typo didn't think it deserved it's own thread! :P

Yep it did it again this time I got the game to get completely stuck looking like this:

I got the same dialog, opening the chat seems to have bugged out the cursor sending it in the upper right hand corner (wasn't able to click on the button anyway) after sending a couple messages to chat i hit esc and got the screenshot in this post where the game runs but is stuck between sectors and the players ship never enters the sector.

Here's some timestamps around the time of the event (this is entirely clientside obviously but hey I don't fuckin' know what i'm doing and maybe there's some loggin' you do on your end that might be useful)

[11/01/25 22:30:56] [1] <Testing please ignore> lets see
[11/01/25 22:31:05] [1] <Testing please ignore> yep it focken did it again
[11/01/25 22:31:26] [1] <Testing please ignore> aaand i'm hangin' between sectors!
[11/01/25 22:35:21] [1] <Testing please ignore> well at least i still have chat!
[11/01/25 22:35:25] [1] <Testing please ignore> hehe

*PS: This is the client running as clean as I can without reinstalling it completely - plugin folder renamed and the skin= line omitted from config.ini.

Ok, fair enough. We'll investigate further, thanks.
