Bad news: Portal coordinates on screenshots are gone

[Rexxer]

Apparently with the last update which increased inventory size limits, they took away the planet coordinates that normally were printed on screenshots. Now you have to land on a planet and pull out a signal booster to get the galactic coordinates of any system you fly through, tnen convert them to portal coordinates to make them useful.

I'm going to raise holy hell if I can confirm this when I play next. That feature finally gave me a convenient way to share discoveries (I made my first thread in discovery forum a few days ago).

Not what happens for me, played yesterday and I still get coordinates on screen and in screenshots, if I press F12 that is.

Are you on experimental version? I'm running the latest experimental patch and just confirmed that Rexxer is right. The portal glyphs are no longer visible in photo mode. I'm going to give HG the benefit of the doubt and assume they aren't that stupid, so am treating it like a bug. I just finished submitting it as a bug report.

Edit: As a follow up, the reason I'm considering it a bug is because the 09/05 patch removed debug information from photo mode for the consoles if I'm not mistaken, so it may have introduced a bug that resulted in the portal glyphs disappearing on a subsequent build.

I must be honest. I think they are doing things like this just to mess with you.

I can confirm they're gone. Honestly, as much as I liked them, it pissed me off that there was no way to control their display.

I wonder how terribly difficult it would be to go no brainer and include coordinates into discoveries?

Why would you even bother saving a name and a picture of a discovery location if you in no way include the coordinates in order to find your way back to it?

Am I wrong? You can look back at every thing you find on every planet you visit in every system you visit right? Why no put coordinate in that?

Personally, I think it messes with the image. But then again, my screenshots are just for me, I don't care about sharing them.

I didn't have that info on screen UNTIL Beyond LOL Now I have it all the time.

Yes, this is the experimental version where they give you a preview of coming "features"

I had it all the time too, until today. It's all gone now, not even on stations or planets.

I'm talking about the pic that comes with the discovery in your log. It wouldn't have to be on the pic though, could put it anywhere under the name of the location.

Actually, the Steam screenshot key never recorded the Portal address on the screenshots. It only records if you do an OS level screenshot. Another way they could keep it out of the way of beauty shots would be to add a toggle key for the Portal address.
