U15 update notes are online!

I've never mentioned it before, but I feel like I notice little things (fix's) every few weeks on the Thursday tic... little corrected shadows... small color changes here and there... The way distant stars and nebula render... and I think the biggest one was about a year ago when the entire galaxy map background changed on a random thursday and I never saw anyone say anything. Seems like they are fixing little things all the time. Sometimes I question myself like 'did I not notice this before?'...
I'll do you one better: you are not imagining things. :alien:
I won't go into too much detail so as to not derail the thread, only tell you that after Odyssey released, work was done on star coronas/arches/flares & spots continually.
This also happened during Horizons development, and elite is the only game i know of that is capable of receiving live updates while servers are still online. (i suspect this has to do with the chosen deployment method; see: node propagation)

Not quickly, just less slowly. For some reason the ED client takes up to an hour to download (why I don't know, nothing else does). It would be useful to download it during the downtime and then I might get some play time in today.
AFAIK, there is some problem with windows defender scanning each file in parallel. Making an exception for the Frontier game files in defender speeds it up massively.

Really? Interesting. I use Norton, but I'll have to see if it's doing the same thing.
 
I thought you may enjoy an "it works!" post. So here's an "it works!" post!

Had a quick shakedown (one hyperspace hop) and in-space, I am not totally sure the frame rate is up but I am sure the latency is way better so the whole thing feels muuuuuuuch smoother. Nice.

Also think the audio has been rebalanced a little bit so I didn't jump out of my chair quite so often...

And this may be coincidence but I've been waiting for a Federal ranking mission for weeks and I just got offered one right off the bat.
 
I do have to say, I'm very happy that they made it clearer which Fleet carriers have active services. I still somewhat wish that useless carriers weren't visible at all, but with all the improvements they made this patch, the degree of irritation has reduced markedly.
Agreed i think the new FC single icon and them now being listed in POIs is pretty awesome.
