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.
I have the same bug
Hello Patrick,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.
We’ve checked on our side, and Strong/Unknown Signals do provide loot. Could you please confirm whether the Single Player world, Lobby, or Server where you're experiencing this issue has any MODs (or you have Plugins) active? It’s possible that MODs or Plugins may alter game settings and cause this behavior.
To verify, please ensure no plugins are active in your game and try the following steps;
Verify your game files in Steam
Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file
Delete ShaderCache folder
Once done, launch the game and start a new vanilla (unmodded) world. In the world’s Advanced Settings, make sure Unknown Signals are enabled and set the game mode to Survival. Once the unknown signals spawn, check whether they now provide loot. If the issue continues, please send us a screen recording/video showing the issue, the vanilla world save file, and the log files from the time the issue occurred.
Kind Regards,
Keen Software House: QA Department

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.

This is a dupe of topic/47812-unknown-signals-dont-do-anything-after-button-press
I urge everyone in the community to search issues prior to creating new one, create the new one if there is something unique you have run into, and up-vote the oldest/most voted to ensure the issue gets attention. New entries only do not help get issues resolved.

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.

I'm still getting skins occasionally, but no confirmation message after hitting "OK." It also doesn't give the little triangle on the character option in the main menu. But Steam gives me an alert that I got a skin. Definitely seem to be getting them less often than last week, even allowing for the weekly limit that stopped me from getting anything at all for 2 entire days.

Most of the time I get no dialog box. maybe 1 out of 10 I'll get the first, and 1 out of twenty I'll get both. Great use of my time during the Great Skin Hunt.

Hello engineers,
We’ve just released a new hotfix for Space Engineers and would like to know if you are still experiencing this issue after updating to the latest version?
If the issue persists, we would greatly appreciate it if you could confirm whether the world, lobby, or server where this occurred is modded (using any mods). If MODs are active, please try checking if the issue still happens in a new vanilla (unmodded) world or server.
If the issue continues even in an unmodded world/server, we kindly ask you to share with us the log file from the time the issue occurred, along with a screen recording/video showing the issue, and the save file of the vanilla world or server where it happened.
Additionally, if you could provide any extra information, such as whether the Steam overlay was enabled or if a VPN was in use when this issue occurred, it would be much appreciated, as it could help us identify contributing factors.
Kind Regards,

I will add to the list, tested brand new world no mods/survival default settings, steam overlay enabled. The problem persists. The pod lands I hit "F" to interact and get the first message - clicking LMB, or Enter on the message results in no additional message. Occasionally steam inventory will indicate that I received a new skin, but the skin does not show in the in-game inventory as available.

Seems better, but still broken.

I received leopard drill, leopard gloves, rainbow gloves, rainbow drill - all of which eventually showed up in my Steam inventory but none of which are in the game to be recycled.
Modifying my initial thought that it is a counter issue because it seems more like a validation issue.

There seems to be two submissions with exactly the same statement and votes - weird. That being said tested again today and the problem still persists. Perhaps it is a Steam sync issue, because again I get new items in my steam inventory but nothing in the medbay recolor inventory.

I've gotten no messages or skins since the beginning of May. I started a completely mod-free world to see if it was mods causing the problem, but no messages or skins.

I also get notified on Steam when I receive a skin, but it doesn't show up in-game for me to equip or recycle. However, I have noticed that this only happens when I already own the skin. I've yet to receive a skin on Steam, but not in-game, that isn't a duplicate. After looking at my Steam inventory, I have 1-4 duplicates of most of the common skins and only one uncommon. I've played a lot of Space Engineers recently, but not to the point where I should have so many. Not sure when this started, but it was definitely before the skin event began. I just recently started playing again, but I remember encountering this problem before, so that's probably where all my extra skins came from.

hello!
i noticed that in some cases the button is acting like there is no function is set up when the player presses it. i mean for the regular buttons of such containers the player is not prompted to set it after it has, or has not got anything from the container, but for some containers it prompts the player to set up an action for the button

Yesterday I tried unknown signals and I did get one new item from them (in game) - an item I did not already have. It seems unlikely to me that I've only found one new skin item given the supposed 'event' (Is pharaoh armour even out there? At all? I've never seen even one piece of it in 4,100 hours) but there it is. It worked, and both message boxes and skin acquisition went off smoothly. It's not completely broken but may be broken in the normal case and only works for new items?

Yay! I got a new item..... but also had 2 x 'nothing to see here' and one told me nothing at all.
Maybe it's just the duplicates that aren't giving the response?

I am still getting new items added to Steam Inventory, but no notification and they are not available in game. I know the Dev's are working on it, but I am missing being able to recycle all these duplicates. They literally just had a live stream stating how wonderful this event is, but I haven't been able to take advantage of it as a single player - don't mind me I am just blowing off steam.

Still running into the same issue.

-No Plugins
Tested Today again in both SP & MP, have not tried Server side.
No second window appears.

I am still not getting the second notification, but the way it seems to be working at this point is:
-Second notification rarely occurs, if it does it is usually to inform me "better luck next time" but occasionally it will be a new skin
-when I don't get a notification, I check my steam inventory (via Steam Overlay) if I received a new skin I will have a steam notification.
-duplicate items will show in-game, but as having one duplicate
-if I recycle an item that I know I have multiple duplicates of it will be removed from the in-game inventory and my steam inventory
-the in-game inventory will again show that I have a single duplicate.
I don't think this is how it was intended, and the player must use caution to be sure they have selected/checked the "duplicate only" box or a wanted item could be deleted.
