Players across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC report issues with the Background Simulation (BGS) in Elite Dangerous Legacy Horizons 3.8. Commanders note a scarcity of systems in War or Civil War states, encountering mainly None, Civil Unrest, and Boom states instead. Expanding the Galaxy Map to 40,000 stars and filtering faction states fails to reveal the expected dynamic faction conflicts. This points to a possible bug or regression in the BGS, impacting gameplay tied to faction states and conflict zones, which are key for faction-related activities and player engagement.

  • BGS states limited to None, Civil Unrest, and Boom in many systems.
  • Dynamic faction conflicts like War and Civil War appear missing or broken.
