why would system and planet names reset to default?

[VayneVerso]

I went through the trouble of naming my current system and planets earlier today. I made sure to save my game several times since then. All of a sudden, the names seem to have reverted and I'm not allowed to change them anymore. I'm wondering if maybe this has to do with the fact I gave Helios some data in the Anomaly. Could that be it? I didn't pay enough attention to what he was asking, but I think he asked for planetary data.

I think you need to upload them through the discoveries menu but I'm not sure

[VayneVerso]

When you rename them, it automatically uploads them. So I'm not really sure what happened. It's dumb, but for me, it totally sucked the fun out of being in this system. ha!

I've noticed since Outlaws that some of my ships (but not all) constantly revert to their original names. Not sure if it is connected, tho.

[VayneVerso]

Must have messed something up. I think it might have been related to giving my data to Iteration Helios on the Anomaly. Or maybe not.

It's because the HG-servers are f'ed up at the moment. The Online Discovery Service is dead (even if it maybe tries to tell you that you would be connected). In some hours/days/weeks your names will suddenly reappear.
It's like magic. Just without the magic.

I think this is right. I was in the Expedition, and had to get to a specific planet to make a base. I did that but it is not registering. Also I am noting it is giving me credit for discovering all the flora, fauna, and minerals...even though it has tons of bases on the planet.

Something is messed up.

Hmm... we shall see, then. I'll avoid reusing the names for a while.

Okay, it happened again. A system that I named this morning got the name reverted to the default name, and I no longer have the option to change it. This time I didn't visit the Anomaly or do anything weird.

Same thing happening here for the past few days, came searching for info or related threads and found this one, so thanks everyone. FWIW I can see that beyond my vague anecdotal "a few days ago" my previous renamings have persisted, so hopefully it's a temporary issue.

its from hamster server
its happening to my 3 y/o star system to
i discovered it first, build my main base there, and somehow months ago its name changing to default including discovered by other player
your discovery means nothing in this exploration game, but NMS is good walking simulator

[Not Mr Flıbble]

I've been seeing two names for some systems while looking around in the galaxy map. Probably related.

[VayneVerso]

Happening to me constantly now. Probably half of the systems and planets I name get reverted a few hours later. No pattern that I can discern.

[Doran.CN]

same here! the galaxy and planet name seem to stick with what I uploaded, but all the plants, animals, and mineral's name will be replaced to default name in 30 mins or longer.
This real real real bugs me out.
Another things I found that the name I uploaded will remain if it is not in Euclid system.

[JerrodStorm]

This is happening to me too!

Is there any way to officially report this? This feels like it should be considered a decently high priority bug by Hello Games, so I wonder if they've been made aware of it. Discovery services are a core feature of the game's appeal, so I doubt they would knowingly leave it unfixed for weeks.

yep This annoys me you go to do everything right and the naming process has a major bug
