Players have noticed a change in Elite Dangerous where the automatic discovery notification for new systems no longer triggers upon arrival. Previously, jumping into a new system would automatically mark the main star and nearby celestial bodies as discovered, accompanied by a system scan completion sound. This change, reported by the community on Steam, affects how commanders receive feedback during exploration and may impact their interaction with newly visited systems. The cause—whether a deliberate update or a bug—remains unconfirmed by developers as of late October 2026.
- Automatic discovery notifications no longer appear on system entry.
- Exploration feedback experience is altered for commanders.
