Shelving the game indefinately - STILL unable to dock at any station (new game)

[Palad1n]

100% fresh install of Avorion.

NO mods of any kind.

This is for version 2.0

Every new game I make, I cannot "dock" with any station. It shows I am docked, but when I try to buy / transfer crew to my ship, it tells me I have to be docked. Still no fix in site and this was reported months ago. Seems there is just more and more bugs with 2.0 and working through error logs is a mess. 

NO, I will not go to another sector to see if I can somehow make it work that way, I shouldn't have to and expect the game to work as intended on something as simple as this.

Perhaps 2.0 is not for me.

Hey Palad1n,

I will pass this on to the team. This seems to be a very rare case with unknown origin or info as to why it is occuring. Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention! We will take a closer look at it!
 

Greetings, BoxDan.

This is not a rare case for me. It's not exactly usual, but it's definitely not rare. Fly up to a docking port until it says F Interact (docked), browse the menus / decide what you want and ask for it, the game says no, you have to be docked, while at the same time telling you you're docked. Fly away from the dock, fly back, same result.

Y'all need to put some diagnostics into your not-docked rejections to check whether the  game didn't mislead the player into thinking they're docked.

rclick-docking from strategy view regardless of whether the game tells you you're already docked seems to work around this.

It happens to me after some time playing. Some weird sort of singleplayer desync with server - which by itself is weird, since its singleplayer game. But game sometimes glitches as if i`m permanently in online mode, even though i made sure to only play singleplayer.

So after sometime i cant dock as well, unless i logout to main menu and load game save again. Nothing changes, not even my location in space, but suddenly i can dock again.

Wild guess but do you move the mouse at all after docking but before pressing F? Like even a tiny almost unnoticeable amount? Especially with a high definition mouse? I find this is often enough to rotate me out of docking range unless i physically let go of the mouse to finish docking.

Yeah having same issue myself although its more like 1/4 of the places i try to trade with.

Thought I'd also mention its solved by moving to another ship in the same system then back again (which is great if you find somewhere with a nice bit of equipment). As well as returning to the main menu as others have mentioned.

Ensure you're also between the docking lights for that port, that another player-owned ship isn't near that port you intend to use (including another of yours) or use the Transporter subsystem and a Transporter block to avoid it.
