Possible Quicksilver Synthesis Companion issue?
For some reason, the Companion has hardly any items available. There's only 1 helmet/head cosmetic, 1 emote, and 9 base building parts. No void eggs or alien heads at all.

What could be causing this?

is this a new issue or was it like this before the last update this week?

New to me. I haven't played in several months. Just started it up again today. Started a new save file, too.

Hmm was hoping you were on Win7 or 8.
Well then sadly it looks like the patch this week has messed up the QS missions. :steamsad:

Nope, Win10.

Though I don't quite understand how an issue with the QS missions would cause the vendor to not have its full inventory.

Well the Win7 and 8 have some stuff missing. (long standing issue)
But for everyone else its the latest patch, there's more then a few posts here with people asking about missing QS missions, no discovery services etc. so its a HG patch-code or a server side issue from this week.
Please file a support request.

Same issue here. He's got half a dozen cosmetics on sale for me but no Void Eggs. When I get to the Nexus I see a lot of people there but no Eggs for sale.

HG games is slow to respond, and so this morning I started messing around.
I verified NMS files thru steam client, and no problems found.
I uninstalled Nvidia USBC and Nvidia HD Sound from Computer Hardware settings panel
Because my video card does not have USB-C ports, and I've never used HDMI on my PC.

Manually downloaded Nvidia drivers, the Game Ready (Not the studio drivers)
Then custom installed Nvidia driver and Physx (unchecked USBC and Sound)
Note: I'd uninstalled Geforce Experience months ago and still delighted with the results!
FYI: I still haven't installed any mods for NMS. (maybe one day)

I rebooted, started Steam > NMS > turned off multiplayer got into nexus and weekend event and the quicksilver missions are showing up again.

So, if the issue was a Nvidia driver issue... then Hello Games created it with their last patch.


But wait!
There's more!

I picked the mysterious purple mission and got "Simple Fauna" and nexus warped my ship to a new system and as warp ended and the planets appeared a message said
Mission abandoned
...Seen that bug once before, hopefully HG fixes it again in the next patch.

So I call in Nexus and was able to get the weekend mission "Misaligned Realities" I speak with Tethys then leave nexus and finish the whole thing without an problems.

Not sure if suggesting manual installation of latest GPU drivers will help anyone else but let us know if you try and what the outcome was for you?

Update: I might've did all that reinstallation and messing around for nothing.
Just try running the game and see if its working again.

Yeah, looks like the companion's inventory is back to normal now.

What I did to solve the problem was disable TLS 1.0 even on Windows 10. Worked like a charm.

Hopefully you found a solution?
If not, then I've pasted the solution found by Goozie and a link to the discussion below.

Looks like NMS online research servers disabled TLS1.0 which is the default protocol for Win7.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3140245/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-wi

What solved it for me: Install KB3140245 and install MicrosoftEasyFix51044.msi (linked in behind the download button)

I started a playthrough on PC with a friend. I just hired a base overseer after talking to Apollo. I still dont see any quicksilver missions and there are only a few things to buy from the QS vendor. I am using Win. 7 ultimate. For my buddy the QS missions are showing up but he is on Win. 10.

Anyone know what is up here? I cant even do the community mission with my friend. :(
