Tour The Galaxy is broken *Verified*

edited August 2014 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I just tried to run Tour the galaxy , the first time in 9.5 and most of the sectors even when passing directly down the center don't register as you flying through it. Also there are a lot of times when there wasn't any indication that you went through the sector like the yellow circle on the mini-map to know it registered. The whole thing is completely broken and you are unable to get any credit to finish a sector.

    Might be a setup-related issue; I just ran the mission this morning with no issues on my Rom/KDF alt...

    By setup, I meant installation or patch issues; sometimes program files get corrupted & stop working.

    Working fine on my end. Might be an installation or patch issue like centaurianalpha said.

    My friend and I just played this mission and are having the same problem. We can get the game to recognize us entering a sector when we come from another sector block (i.e. the Xarantine Sector in Regulus to the Donatu Sector in Eta Eridani), but not when we fly through the sectors in the same sector block (i.e. Aldebaran Sector to the Donatu Sector). This appears to be broken.

    You both were teamed with someone else while running it? That's never worked properly, to my knowledge.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    It seems your right, i ran it by myself yesterday and it worked just fine. Was trying to show someone the way i ran the tour to backtrack as little as possible to finish the whole thing.

    The real tour like it's used to be is broken since 25th of july 2013. Unfortunatly this is only a ghost of the tour which has been broken, again.

    Sorry guys, had to say it. I hope it gets fixed for you lot, fast.

    Verified that the mission does not work when teamed. Thanks for the reports.

    It was my understanding that the Tour didn't allow teaming in order to prevent exploits. e.g. you run the Sirius block while your friend runs the Alpha Centauri block, and 3 other people on your team run Reg, GO/Pel, IP, etc. and you finish the entire tour in 2 minutes.

    Granted, now that the Tour has been ultra-nerfed into a daily, who cares, since it can't be run multiple times in a day, much less multiple times in an hour like you used to be able to do. Hmm, so yeah, given the current functionality of the Tour, might as well call it a bug and allow teaming.

If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.

    Wait, is it supposed to work when you are teamed? See mightybobcnc's explanation.

    When you visit a sector, is it supposed to give credit only to you and not your teammates?
