Patch Notes Update Gamma 2.00 incoming

[Valcrow]

Lots of really nice subtle enhancements. (or I didn't notice them in earlier builds)

I lost half my key bindings strange enough (on mouse and KB) All my keyboard bindings were a bit messed but the mouse options were fine. (like yaw on low roll etc) The 'lost' bindings seemed to have nothing defined in them rather than resetting to the default so it just looks like the custom keys that I bound were somehow lost.

I bound thrust up and down to shift+w and Shift+s. These were just 'shift'. I'm not sure if that helps or not finding the solution.

Awesome, can see rep progression now!

Congratulations, you're in the high risk identity theft bracket. It won't happen to me! No, no Not I,
I suppose you think it's security through obscurity, because there are so many others doing it.

[denial is for everyone else]

Your view is outdated and incorrect. I suggest you do a search on google for using your real name V's using a pseudonym. You will be shocked by the result.

 

[GunslingerSullivan]

I would play but its STILL downloading been over an hour now grr. Going for a Sauna

 

[SilkSmith]

Awesome as usual FD,
oh and thanks for the decals!!

TWO ships, really? Just TWO!!!?
As for that so-called 'change log' I've seen longer ones in the loo - only took me half-a-dozen clicks of my Page Down key to scroll past it!
And a Route Planner for the Galaxy Map!!!? who on Earth asked for that?
Total rubbish, I demand a refund

That's an impressive level of sarcasm.

Now the HOTAS key bindings didn't change so I thought I was OK. But then I discovered the keyboard was 'wiped'. No J for SC/HJ. Retract hardpoints: not the key I assigned, if any. Pressing 1 for the ship computer left? Nope.

Please FD, do not change the key bindings. Thank you.

Also here. I ticketed this (ID:58040).

 

[GIBSONJR]

Wow, what an impressive list of changes. Thank you all so much for the hard work and things you do while we are sometimes a bit difficult to handle, to say the least.
Keep up the good work on an epic game.

 

[CobraKhan]

Impressive wor guys, thanks alot! Just downloaded and was in the game, joystck bindings still work here. Will test more tomorrow I hope, no time today (grrr)

 

[Wolff117]

I wear earbuds, fantastic sound improvements! Really like the change in sound for interdictions Cool ship the Adder still looking for my new transport and hope I can afford it

 

[The_Bobo_NL]

<old>It looks like the default keyboard and mouse bindings are (mostly) reset.</old>
I'm using the international keyboard layout.
Does anyone have the same?

*EDIT* it looks like the bindings them self are fine, but the game does not load then correctly.
Submitting ticket.

Is anyone else Locking permanently on the loading screen... Also I hear either the fan on my CPU or GPU freaking out. Seeing as my CPU was only at like, 20% use going to guess my GPU.

Seems as though Gamma 2.0 is completely unplayable for me, won't make it past the loading screen. the ship isn't even spinning, game is totally frozen.

Same lockup here

• in open and in solo play modes
• the Hauler spinning ship animation (Hauler every time now- my current ship is a Hauler, does the spinning ship now always show your current ship?) rotates to about 2 o'clock and freezes - the music continues playing though.
• there is no CPU or GPU load spike while the game borderless window is foregrounded.

EDIT: Working for me. What I did: disable Borderless graphics mode. I had changed it into Borderless BEFORE starting a game, and it locked up 5 or six times in a row - no successful start. I disabled borderless (back to fullscreen) and was able to start in both Solo and Open modes, and now it works consistently staring in borderless or fullscreen. Haven't tried Windowed. If there is any causality there, it is when borderless is used for the first gamma 2.0 start, but I don't pretend to see a smoking gun.

EDIT2: After a play session, I quit to desktop to stop the ever-ringing voice comms tone, and have now had the Stuck Hauler of Doom twice, once borderless and once fullscreen. I had a look at the netlog and lo and behold, every time it hangs, the server it's trying to connect to has an invalid IP address.

{23:56:31} EnterLocation: Using UDP server address 54.195.128.0:19364 from webserver

An IP address ending in .0 is a /24 subnet, not a valid IP address of a host.

Working attempt, different logfile:

Route planner is very welcome

Gal map looks much nicer, really like the added name labels to various areas, and the new nebulae and stuff. Just started exploring, so lots to aim for
Very pleased computer lady has found her voice again.
Like the changes to the targeted-object-holograms.
Even like the new main menu backdrop.

Haven't tested much else yet.
Just keep an eye on your <..> for next patch ;-)

 

[Granty]

Love the updated Galaxy map, detested the earlier one so massive thumbs from me

 

[skydivertricky]

I keep f5ing here - hoping - wishing for an update on the CTD fix (so I cant play atm ). I find it funny how we had 50 odd pages in a short space of time now it goes very quiet - I guess everyone except me is playing

Spinning ship frozen/no load:

I had this. There's a thread here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=71873&page=4 that has several possible fixes.

for me editing the AppConfig.xml file so instead of

<Network
Port="0"
upnpenabled="1"
LogFile="netLog"
DatestampLog="1"
>


</Network>


I had:

<Network>
Port="0"
upnpenabled="1"
LogFile="netLog"
DatestampLog="1"



</Network>

then saving the edited file worked a treat next time I loaded up.

Found the file in C:\Users\~user\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments \Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002

Hope that helps

Amazing list again...and this...this makes a big difference (especially for pirate/bounty humpers)

Stop AI from starting to charge their hyperdrives while they're mass-locked

LOVE this update!

The transition to/from supercruise is sublime.
The new ship computer dialog is great.
Route planning makes long journeys a dream!

I am having one issue tho (ticket id: 58151) I'm unable to complete my first "Illegal" mission.

Anyone else come across this one?
