Players have reported a significant issue in Elite Dangerous where map fragments and event items such as pumpkins are failing to spawn. This bug blocks progression through sectors and prevents players from accessing improved rewards tied to exploration and event participation. Additionally, collecting map fragments in a friend's game does not register progress for the collector, further complicating advancement. While currently reported by a single player on the r/EliteDangerous subreddit, this problem could impact a wider portion of the community if not resolved promptly.
- Map fragments and event items like pumpkins are not appearing in-game.
- Collecting fragments in a friend's session does not count towards personal progress.
