Roll back Nvidia drivers one version down. Sometimes newest ones can cause lot of troubles. Also if you are on laptop, check out if you have Optimus system and try to force graphics card for the game.

I did the router reboot too, despite it working from the laptop based client. No joy.
I never had any issue up until Gamma 2.00 and the new launcher... and the exe seems happy if launched directly. I am sure there is something up with the way the launcher is trying to run the exe. I just wish FD would take a look in their software version control system at what they changed back then as it shouldn't be rocket science to see what might be causing this issue.
My god the daily updates thru the weeekend...
Devs - even though it's crunch time, try to get some sleep and stay sane. You've reached maximum velocity in your biggest sprint, and you're burning down the burn down chart. You're almost there, then you can have a well deserved holiday break and go back to a more reasonable schedule. We love the progress being made, and can't wait to see what you have in store for us at launch and then what's next in the new year! Thank you for your hard work!

well I still have to bring up my Saitek X52 control panel otherwise I cant bind or use button 6.....really odd because early beta I didn't have a problem......tis only a minor thing but it would be nice if somehow it got addressed when the priority bits have been done 
I have the same issue Lanis has by the sound of it. The problem started when Gamma 2.00 and the new launcher arrived as a compulsory update. Previously no problems at all. If you bypass the launcher and directly run the ED executable file the splash sequence runs followed by main menu home screen, except you get an error box complaining about not starting via launcher rather than the menu. Also, combat demo runs fine. So very little to suggest it might be graphics driver related. Despite this, I tried several versions of driver to confirm this wasn't a factor. This did not fix the issue. I do not think it is graphics driver related.

Thanks. I'll try to roll back first thing tomorrow when I get home from work. I don't have a laptop so I guess I don't have Optimus.
Yeah it happens sometimes, but they have always came back up.

yes i am, but it's always said 98% for me.

seems to have sorted all the disconnect issues for me
It seems sometimes landing pad holo disappears, but I still can land. Not breaking bug for me. Empty BB however is not good. But it is something they can clearly sort out at their end.
Judging by artifacts FD still seems to struggle to get a hang on UPnP broken implementations. For those having disconnects and knowing how to forward ports, try to configure ED via it's configuration file for specific port, and forward it in your router - and see how it does improves things.
Also you can try turn off UPnP altogether too.

Meh. Really meh. If I'm promised an insurance discount, I expect that to include the entire ship, not just the hull.

Means "insurance is covering 98%" (as opposed to 95% IIRC, or 96% for beta backers). But it only applies to the hull now, making the discount almost entirely pointless.
