New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on January 28, 2022) follows:
Developed and published by Frontier Developments, Elite Dangerous is a flight simulation game where the player assumes the role of a pilot.
It is the fourth game in the series and was launched on Windows in December of 2014. To date, it has generated more than $100 million in revenue.
That being said, Elite Dangerous players are now reporting (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) that they are facing issues with cosmetic items on Xbox. Many say that their game crashes whenever they access paint jobs, with some saying that they are getting a ‘Yellow Adder’ error.
The bug seems to be angering a lot of Elite Dangerous players since some are missing ship livery items that they had bought using real money. Rebooting and reinstalling the game seems to make no difference.
Thankfully, Elite Dangerous developers seem to be aware of the ongoing issues with cosmetic items and said that it is currently under investigation.
And apart from the issue with cosmetic items, some Elite Dangerous players are having trouble (1,2,3) accessing the Horizons benefits.
Many say that they are unable to land on planets because of the bug and are getting an error message that says ‘You need Horizons to land here’.
Thankfully, the developers have acknowledged the issue as well and said that it is currently under investigation.
However, there is no ETA on when the aforementioned issues will be fixed. Rest assured, when they do, we will update this space to reflect the same so stay tuned.
Update 1 (January 29)
03:24 pm (IST): Elite Dangerous on Twitter has confirmed that they will release a hotfix update next week that will be aimed to fix various reported issues.
