Sod it, the sun is shining and that's been pretty rare recently in the UK. I'm off for a walk while they get the snakes under control.

And your point is? (not sarcasm, I literally have no idea what point you are making).
Cross-Save // PlayStation 5 Pro // The Normandy Returns 5.27 - No Man's Sky
Hello Everyone, Thank you to everyone playing No Man’s Sky – Cross-Save // PlayStation 5 Pro // The Normandy Returns, especially those taking the time to report any issues they encounter via Zendesk or console crash reporting. We are listening closely to your feedback, and have identified and...www.nomanssky.com
it's not like the expression "never play on patch day" was invented for ED. At this point it feels like just crapping on Frontier for the crapping's sake.
dont know if mission boards are working,my server wont connect just now lol,whatever haha
this dark man knows how it's done.
No company is perfect, and they all release a bad patch or have a rough update at some point, but this is the only game I know of and play where everyone knows not to play on patch day, because everyone knows it will be unplayable for hours after.
It really should be something they look to sort out, but then again you could say that about many of the bugs on the issue tracker.

I know, it was me who blew the old universe up, it was full of disillusioned gamers...
That's a lot of blood on your hands these days.
I'm replying to this:
None of those game developers have "release(d) perfect problems and updates every time..."
Like every other game development company, they update, patch, patch again, and patch again.
Now, all three of those companies do a much better job at that that cycle than Frontier. Especially Mojang, which has a robust player-based testing environment. But they're not perfect. No company can hope to replicate every single combination of software, hardware, and drivers that exist out in the wild. But a robust player-based testing environment can catch the worst ones before they get into the wild.
Frontier treats such an environment as a marketing opportunity or something to be monetized.
"Don't play on patch day" pre-dates ED by a good decade.
That's precisely what happens when a developer doesn't take a holistic approach with regards to balancing the various aspects of their game.
So just ignoring what i said then. This isnt a frontier issue, this is a "this is why all games have server issues at launch and post updates" issue. Theres only so much available bandwidth possible to go out between servers and players and a server increase can only do so much for a network issue.
I must be lucky then, because I've been online gaming way before that, and never played anything that used that phrase.
I've completed 5 jump & system scans in a row now, it seems stability is improving.
If anyone thinks there connection problems are due to the internet they can try loading legacy as a test. It's just player traffic after a patch & is normal. IMO just report the facts so Frontier have the option to read the feedback & mitigate the issues next time.
BTW just got a Mauve Adder (matchmaking server) while typing this presumably because I was idle for a few minutes, I'm straight back in.

Seems like the balancing is already happening - see the reports about ship scanning buffs, for instance. There is apparently no need for patches to tweak the merit numbers, the update deals with stuff that actually need a client update, like fixing the dupe exploit or the CTD of the strategic view.
