Unknown Signals don't do anything after button press

Patrick Heney shared this bug 2 days ago
Investigating

Something is up with the Unknown Signals again. I'm only getting the initial message after pushing the button. No longer getting the "sorry you got nothing message" and definitely not getting the "you win a unicorn rifle" message.


To be clear, I don't mean they don't provide a skin. I mean they don't tell you anything. All I get is the message that "hey you pushed this button, you might get something," but then there's a second window that normally appears that either tells you what skin you got, or tells you that you got nothing. That second window stopped appearing.


It's been like this all day. It was like this while I was streaming Learning to Survive. It was like this while playing an Empty Star System game in SP. Nothing happens after you click "ok." I tried admin-teleporting to the signals. I tried flying to the signals in my suit. I even tried using a remote grid to go fetch the signals and bring them back to me.


This is the only message I get after pushing the button. After this, nothing happens at all.

Over that past 3 or 4 days, I've gotten at least 20 that give no message at all, and maybe as much as 75% of the ones that do give a message result in "nothing special".

Same here, all on a privately hosted server. Other server members have had similar symptoms

Same bug. Suddenly started for me 2 days ago. I get the box saying 'try your luck...' and then neither X on the controller or using the mouse to progress achieves anything - nothing else appears.

I've played over 500 hours on version 1.205 and have never encountered this bug, but on version 1.206 it has occurred several times.

I had that same problem as well, but when I looked in my Steam notifications, there was a new item (badger grinder or so) ;-) Can you check your notifications?

Just wanted to add that I've also started the same thing about 2 days ago (I hadn't played since last week so not sure exactly when it started).

It is similar in that I'm on a multiplayer locally hosted world. I've been to perhaps 5-10 over the last couple of days. When I press the button the initial message appears, but then when I click OK I don't get any secondary message. I haven't received any skins through any of the button presses either.

What is interesting is other people who join the server and go to their Unknown Signals are still getting the second message and still receiving skins. It definitely looks like an issue specifically with my game, not the server.

2AdaRynin, no, the last one I got came yesterday with an in-game notification. There were a few cases today but I didn't get anything. Anyway, I'll check in a day or two to make sure something actually arrived.

I've had no Steam notifications to tell me I received an item since this bug showed up, but before that due to the skin event I was getting a skin 100% of the time. We all hit a wall - it was very sudden which makes me believe a counter is no longer being reset correctly.
