Players in Elite Dangerous are reporting a resurgence of the 'Scarlet Krait' disconnection error, a problem that previously led some to quit the game. One commander detailed stable gameplay for several days after returning, only to face worsening disconnects when exiting supercruise or transitioning from orbit glide. These disconnects happen even far from system stars, causing significant progress loss such as half an hour of supercruise time. This ongoing issue highlights persistent connectivity or server stability challenges that continue to affect player experience as of August 2026.
- Disconnects occur when leaving supercruise or entering glide from orbit.
- Players lose significant progress, including extended supercruise time.
