Its late, and I'm tired, so hopefully this all makes sense...

The hacking mini game is not showing up for me on any exploration sites I visit.

Before the bug occurred, I was at a limited sleeper cache. I didn't hack all the cans at the sleeper site, so I'm not sure if the bug started at the sleeper site or after it. I definitely was able to play the hacking mini game at the sites I visited earlier.

When I moved to the next system, I scanned down a relic and a data site, and the mini game window failed to pop up on any of the cans in either site. I scanned down a couple relic sites in another system and the same thing happened, the mini game window would not show up.

I tried re logging and the bug persisted. I set the launcher to download all the game files and the bug still persisted even after downloading some missing content.



This post was very similar to what I experienced.

just to be sure, from you eve client, go to menu (ESC), reset setting, and chose "clear all cache files"
(no this will not reset your settings)

if you ran the rescache.exe tool or the repair tool, and it finished ok, then this is a last step to test before it is a global problem

also downtime in an hour, maybe some things will work again after reboot



edit : oh I read wrong, you didn't repair. browse to your game folder, there should be a rescache.exe application, run it will scan for corrupted files (which happen with old launcher and patches) and fix them
it takes a while if you are not on ssd

No issues with the reschache check. I'm fairly confident that there are no problems with my system or my install.

I logged in and ran a data site and the issue seems to have resolved it self. I cant help but think it had something to do with that limited sleeper site I ran just before I got the bug, which was on a regular angel relic site.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I just remembered it. I'm a computer tech so I know sometimes in trouble-shooting, the small details are sometimes quite helpful.

The last can that I hacked in the sleeper site was the remote defense grid. I failed the first hack, and then it started a timer. As I attempted the second hack, the container exploded just as I found the core node. Technically the window was open as the can exploded. Maybe the game thought that my module was still in use on the defense grid can even though I was at another site...

Anyway, I know this was an issue that got patched recently so if there is any information I can provide that would be helpful, I would be happy to do so.

ok, then maybe (big maybe) the downtime or simple "time" killed this cooldown. we probably will never know Roll

Well in any case, thanks for the suggestions Kal'Han.
