Missing Uridium

I fueled up in system 360 and drove about 206 parsecs to system 309 where I arrived with only 20 uridium left. Oddly, this is the exact amount that I usually have left after finishing my run about another 180 pars away.

My AVG anti virus kicked in at sometime during the run and minimized the game. This has caused the client to freeze in the past (like right when Alfred was extracting my bounty

) but not this time. Is this a bug?

Yep a bug that bits you. It happen twice to me to night. But I do not think it can be fixed. Unless it keeps bitting you.
At this stage it may pay to keep track of the jumps, which I will be doing.
I was just luckly I good sell me cargo. Next time I may not be so lucky.

Mon 13th August. 8:53pm West Aussie time.
Somewhere between system 401 and system 483 I lost uridium. I norm can get to system 15 befor I need to refuel up.
Looks like this is one of those bugs that pops up and bits you when you are not keeping a eye out for it.
I will do a bug report next time it happens and hopefully will have some infor for the bug report.

This is one hell of a bug.
I well be putting this one in the bug section where it belongss.
I have just lost 500K Cr's today. I is suck in space station inorbit around planet unknown 647, in system M-216.
It looks like I will lose 166K cr's as there are no asto to mine for urid.

Update.

This bug bits when you have less than 100 uridiun left in your tank.
For some unkwon reason you lose the extra uridium when the game takes the uridium away from your toral befor the jump starts.

You can not mine for uriduim when you have a full cargo bay. ( This bug has cost me almost 1Million Cr's ). I just hope this bug can be fixed.

At this stage to stop the bug from bitting ( I hope this will work ) is to have more top ups of uridium.
The effect it has on the game is not good. The trips will take longer to do.
Eg: a 15 min run now, will be about 20 mins. Or you may have change your run if there are no systems that sell uridium.

Uridium is always taken from the inventory the second you click the stardrive button. This means if your game crashes during the stardrive sequence, you'll lose the uridium you used and will have failed to move a single parsec. I don't think its really a bug.

Does your game crash a lot... specifically in the stardrive sequence?

No me game dose not crash when this bug bits. ( But I do know what you mean ).

Over the next 2 days I will be doing some test runs and topping up befor I get to 100 uridium in the tank.

Update.

It seems that keeping me uridium above the 100 in tank, is working. So far it as been all good sailing.

So now you have been warned about the uridium bug.
You may get away with it for awhile, but the bug will get you.

The game dose not like you pushing the jumps to the limit

I is a Sandgroper.

From what i understand with KB's post, could it be that this is may also happens if the connection gets slow or disconnects for a few seconds while stardriving?

You hit it on the nail.
If you lose connection at the begining of the jump you will be in the same system, with less uridium. But if you lose connection at the end of the jump, the second white fash I think. You will be in the system you aimed for.
