ISSUECURRENT CONCLUSIONInventoryPledge ItemsCharacter Repair

Pledge items are missing in game

No dependable recovery is currently supported for this attribution issue. Character Repair has mixed outcomes and meaningful irreversible risk, so consider it once only as a last resort if the item has never appeared in game and you accept the downtime and collateral risk.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONArea18Ship storageHangar

Area18 ship storage leaves you stuck on Repositioning Player

Exit to the main menu and rejoin once. If normal interaction does not return, stop—there is no better-supported recovery for this exact Area18 state.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONLevskiHangarShip recovery

Star Citizen ship disappears at a Levski hangar

Wait clear of the Levski hangar threshold until the doors finish cycling, then land or depart. If the ship is already gone and unavailable at ASOP, use the claim option instead.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONLevskiLocation issueStuck character

Jumping Levski railings can leave your character stuck

Use force respawn to leave the trapped location. CIG documents it as the only exit, but it may not restore lost items.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONShip namingShip loadoutItem loss

Equipped items can disappear when you name a ship

Before naming a ship with non-stock gear or customization, remove it. Rename the ship with its stock loadout, then restore your setup. If items are already missing, this cannot recover them.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONSalvagingAudio loopShip power-down

Star Citizen salvaging audio won't stop looping

Restart Star Citizen when salvaging-part audio keeps looping after you power down the ship. When you return, check whether the loop has stopped.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONServer crashReconnectInfinite loading

Star Citizen cannot reconnect after a server crash

Fully exit and restart Star Citizen, then try reconnecting once. Use this only when the reconnect failure follows a game-server crash; named login errors, broad outages, and other infinite-loading cases need different guidance.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONLoginError 60029Shard Locked

Error 60029 leaves your character stuck on a shard

Error 60029 can leave your character stuck on a shard. Exit the game and launcher, run Character Repair, and stay offline for at least an hour before trying again.

ISSUECURRENT CONCLUSIONLoginError 60010Error 60016

You can't enter Star Citizen with Error 60010, 60016, or 60012

No reliable current workaround is supported. Check whether the launcher account still has its Game Package. If it does, stop there rather than spending store credit or money on another package.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONLoginAuthenticationError 19k

Star Citizen login fails with Error 19k

For Error 19k before game entry, wait and retry once first. If it persists, use the matching launcher, file-verification, or local-network check rather than treating every login failure as the same problem.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONROCMining ArmGround Mining

ROC mining arm does not move after entering mining mode

Try target-plus-G first for a static ROC arm; it is a low-risk current check with Limited support.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONIroncladOperations SeatFlight Controls

Ironclad operations seat cannot use jump or zoom after a Command Module handoff

Try the middle-mouse mode switch for the exact operations-seat handoff state; it has Moderate support from one current success observation.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONMiningRefined OreCommodity terminals

Refined ore sale fails when using Max

Select SCU amounts instead of Max first. If the sale still fails, stop for that material and terminal.

ISSUEBEST CURRENT ACTIONHull-ACargo spindlesShip retrieval

Hull-A retrieval fails with cargo spindles extended

Fully retract the spindles before storing the Hull-A; no supported recovery is established once the ship returns unusable.

ISSUECURRENT CONCLUSIONIroncladShip RetrievalCargo

Ironclad body missing after retrieval

No reliable workaround is currently supported.
