So frustrating, in the old days you could buy a game and play it anytime you wanted! Yesterday try to play, server maintenance, today cant logon, great live service.

I was about to add my voice to the "Server down" thread. I just now managed to connect though. The game client took about 8 minutes to connect. I'm logging in from New Zealand.

This is lovely, however my inner Powerplay autist informs me that Powerplay still has many things still switched off, unbalanced and in need of tweaking.

And bugs; don't forget the bugs. Still waiting for a fix to claiming Power Play care package rewards. I've got ~500 I can't claim because of this unresolved issue: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/69482

Logged in to find out I still have my outpost and construction platform, but only have 2 construction points? I also was sure I could build a coriolis dual truss? Its just a system with a lonely star. Can i colonise a new system to gain the 3rd point? I know this sounds stupid but I'm a little confused.

Construction points are local to the system. To get more you need to build more T1 facilities, just be careful some T1 facilities only have small landing pads. You could also build T1 installations, space ports etc.

I managed to log in. Hopefully not too many snakes on my plane...

Ohhh works again good, The System Colonization contact is off line .....

You can't effectively beta-test features like that in separate instances - that's why it arrives in the game.

That falls into the category of "popular excuses".
What nonsense.
That's not software development, it's just tinkering around at the expense of the customer.

Make it slow, difficult to fly or even without SCA or automated docking: Everywthing that supports active gameplay and few repetitions is better than having to do 30x (semi active) runs to load/unload a full FC.

It needs to be a mahoosive drifty boi. It looks like a barge in the mock up and should handle/fly like one IMO.

 

[g1t]

still unable to update.

 

[Gwynfor]

still unable to update.

Did you check, if you are able to rename the file? Did you try a reboot? (no joke, windows is a little bit tricky with file locks. Yes, there are tools to lift the locks.)

Valid, but:
You can alpha-test. Or an acceptance test with two test commanders in two instances would have caught the problem with multiple claims on one system. There's no reason a beta test has to be with code that's under the bar any other studio would set as beta quality.

The scalability issues, yes those need public deployment, because it has to affect the public galaxy. Fine. That speaks to a very small subset of the issues we have seen.

 

[Markov Chaney]

I have this problem with win11 on 2 different PCs, and independently of ED.

Are you on 24H2 or are your PCs in the cohort that have been held back because of particular USB vendors or whatever? Because yes this was a known issue last year with a fix in recent updates.

 

[bangermsuk]

servers are abit jumpy today, Goods transfer is getting Slow and non consistent , and there seems to be a lot of stuttering in gameplay at various intervals, 00 ,15,30,45 minutes. Also a lot of mauve adders errors
