Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
Hi guys, anyone else having repeated Crash To Desktop problems? I've have 5 already tonight and I've only been playing about 2 hours.

I haven't been able to get past hitting the open or solo open play buttons since Gamma 2. Not great considering tomorrow.
 
Hi all,

We are aware of the server issues being experienced right now. Hopefully they will settle down soon.

Thank you to those who helped narrow down and test out the earlier game load issues.

Thanks,
Col
Hi!

You sure didn't sleep very long at all!

Are you entirely sure its server issues, since the start of the mass disconnects coincided with the last update...?

You're the only one who can tell in the end and maybe it was just coincidence.

If it is Amazon, I hope they won't spoil your release day tomorrow!


Oddly, a lot of people are getting dropped just before getting to their landing pad. That was the highest number of match maker disconnects I got, which doesn't seem to make sense: why would it try to connect while I'm still just flying in an already created instance. I can understand if it dies when dropping out of supercruise, since it has to get the server to spawn the instance. But just flying, can you teach the matchmaker not to try to connect whenever it pleases? (solo mode) The game seems to consider matchmaker connections critical, since bulletin-board load failures wont throw you out of the game, but match maker failures do, even if they may not have been critical, judging by people getting hit with it just flying, no session change.

I was playing for two hours yesterday and experienced two server disconnects and the following bug: When I enter the station the landing pad number disappears for a while then pops up again... Otherwise everything runs fine.

Right in to the point, less data collecting servers by Amazon less problems.

I experienced the same problem with landing pads beginning yesterday, and earlier today I submitted a ticket about it.
 
Holy moley, excellent stuff guys.

Michael, could you please answer a question. When will the ability to install the game outside of appdata be added?

Thanks.

I've always been able to install it anywhere I chose to. The main game is on a separate HD, with only some configuration files being in the appdata folder.
 
Don't give up. Keep testing, and give the devs some moral support :)
Matchmaking and balancing issue aside, the game is becoming more fluent. Especially the normal space to SC transition is awesome :) The transition to Hyperspace is getting better too, almost fluent but the hyperspace effect after the countdown is still too sudden, maybe fade it in a little?
 
with last upadate i have always:" could not connect to matchmaking server. Press ok to return main menù" i make this,game restart and after few minute again " could not connect to matchmaking server. Press ok to return main menù" never happen first

Hah! "more fluent" well put...

I'm testing if I can get my ASP before the server gets so clogged up you can't play anymore on the 16th...
 
Very unstable today, nothing that isn't already known, but server disconnects seem to be both common and random. No consistent period between disconnects, highly variable.
 
This is now unplayable, been trying to do a single round trip trade mission now for about an hour and just keep getting disconnected all the time.

Example: i get into the commodities market and select what i want to sell and i get a DC, restart and then i can sell.
Move to the commodity i want for the return journey and i get DCed again.
Setup navigation for the return journey and select return to surface and guess what another DC.

Played Sunday night 2.5 hours in OPEN PLAY, had 6-7 server disconnections, a view while flying and 2-3 when hyperjumping.

Text chatting to friends doesnt seem to work at all, I have my friend's in the LIST but writting only gets me unable to connection to XXXXXXXX" (did it work in GAMMA at any time?)

Since Beta I did get bad reputaion with the FED (for scanning me with stolen/scooped goods), I did get rep as HOSTILE (a bit too harsh I think for smugling), normaly no problem, but yestarday the FED SEC. SHIPS did attack my at sight (they are all RED right away ) even when I am NOT marked as WANTED in the system and have NO bounty on my ! Bug or feature, I dont know?

Did take some assacination/bounty hunting missions but it seems VERY difficult and time consuming to find the bad ships, did not find them after in this 2.5 hour session..... and with 3 sytems as possible places I dont know where to look first...

USS in those systems, you will eventually come across a ship that was attacked by your target and giving you a new system to go to and look in the USS there, found my target in less than 30 mins :)
