Patch Notes Update Update 1.07 Incoming - 11am GMT

[Ian_H]

Same here - upgrade to 1.07 has finished but I am getting the failed to connect authentication server error... Frontier are costing me reputation here... I have a bunch of weapons to donate to some truculent Empirial colonists... and I only have 1 hour or so of Earth time left!!!

 

[Alien]

The pilots or the cargo?

The cargo ... I remember the bug as described from early Beta or even Alpha (how can that infer the pilots????)

 

[Marc_Hicks]

I think that's more for bigger patches, like 1.1, to be honest.

 

[Michael Brookes]

I have had a couple of "Failed to contact authentication server" type messages, and a couple of times when I get to the main menu, but "Start" is greyed out, and the server IP address and port are not shown bottom left of the screen.

We're looking at this at the moment - it might be an hour before we're back up. I'll post updates in this thread as I get them.

I get completely disconnected from the server (twice) when I open the Commodities Market.

 

[Metalstardust]

It's back for me now.
But I will sit in the station and study the galaxy map for an hour just in case.

OK... now it works... the rebellious citizens of BV Phonicis fire their non-lethal weapons in your honour!

 

[DYSEQTA]

I had the authentication issue and now I'm in. I closed/re-opened launcher and got straight in.

@Michael I'm connected and in game

Woo hoo!
I live in Australia where the daily update coincides to just after I get home from work. Once a week I don't mind but every time I sat down to play got annoying.

Thanks.

Good work!

 

[ChaosWulff]

- improve private groups and matchmaking at busier playing times

Is there a chance of getting a little more info on this part? How has it been improved upon?

Thanks

 

[tdquasar]

Keep the good stuff coming, guys!

 

[Michael Brookes]

We should be back up again now.

Have the Luxury traders not spawned yet or have they moved on?

 

[Metalstardust]

Have the Luxury traders not spawned yet or have they moved on?

They only appear if the minor faction is in a boom state.

???

Was there a hidden patch on the luxury traders? Whenever I drop into space with the luxury traders, they port out. Prior to this patch, they stayed around and allowed you to come up to them to sell the stuff. So far, there is a 100% chance of them jumping away, after porting to their space. What's going on?
