Did everyone downloaded and installed the new client before updating the new patch? The new patch will still download from the old client but it might cause issues on new features they added. That might be the cause on some of the bugs that are client side?

How does the new client download,I did not see any information on it with the release notes to install a new one?

When you open the Elite Launcher, in the news listings on the right side, it says: New Launcher Available... launcher can be downloaded from "here". Click the "here." Not sure if the following is necessary, but I uninstall the previous version of the Launcher before installing the new one. Just make sure you install it to the same folder as the previous or you'll have to redownload the whole game once again.

Thanks I will try that tonight when I get home from work
 
Bug?

But i have bounties to claim but they are given by sub-factions of the system.
They do not appear in contact / local security.
Checked all the stations in that system : LAVE

welp, I reported a bug earlier that my weapons didn't fire, but now the launcher just crashes as soon as I click play on both my PC and laptop, on two different operating systems.

Frontier I dont know what you did, but please fix it. You broke my fav game on the one week where I have the time to actually play it.
 
So I'm off in some distant corner of the galaxy with nay an outpost in sight... I am able to see where some have gone before me as now the first to discover shows up in the system map. However, when I go to an area with no name attached to it and do a surface scan (with a detailed surface scanner), I am not credited with being the first to discover and the planets/stars in the system map still show up as being undiscovered.

Am I missing something or is this not working as intended?

Thanks,

polar

AFAIK you don't need to surface scan but you do need to turn your discoveries in at Cartographics.

I have this as well elsewhere in the galaxy. I've seen other complaining of the same thing. We believe its from FD changing the ownership of some stations but not updating the bounty/missions to reflect it.

The best suggestion i've seen is for a 'broker'. You would sell bounty vouchers to a broker for 50% their value if you are not in the required system.
 
Minutes ago, playing SOLO I killed a couple of NPC pirates that interdicted me on my way to Sharon Lee Free Market station in Orrere.
When I docked I could not claim the bounties associated with the kills as the bounties are from two Orrere factions that no longer exist in Orrere.....

Bountyhunting is mostly broken, at least at high levels. I started experiencing this issues about 5-6 days ago:

Bounties are not being awarded to me after NPC kills (with or without WANTED status).
I always kwscan them to get shure they have bouties on their heads.
I'm the only one in the istance shooting at the target.

Also,
sometimes you get the bounty claim message in the info panel, but no bounty is calculated in transactions panel.

My friends are experiencing the same problem with bounties.
This issue happens mostly with big bounties on big ships (anacondas, pytons and so on). It's becoming very gamebreaking as it's a waste of time/ammo.

I'm starting to hesitate to engage when I see a big badass 120k+ bounty 'conda pirate, as I dont know if it will drop its money or it will take them to the hell with them!

This has been reported in Ticket #00000035140
Ignored by now.
Regards.
 
I'm unable to sale discovery data. CTD just when I'm entering UC page. Also the repair cost is charged but repairs are canceled. Lost 400k credits due to this issue.
Ceasing ED until hotfix.

Patch notes for 1.1 says surface scan needed, but I didn't know about the requirement to sell my cartographic data. Thanks! Now where oh where is there an outpost? *scratches head*

Sorry, what I meant to say is that a detailed surface scanner is not required (allegedly). In other words, pointing your standard ship at a targeted "Unknown" body and letting it resolve the name of that body should suffice.
 
Odd one but approaching a station just after getting docking permission causes a CTD.. Never happened before and so far only seems to keep reoccurring with one station.. Will go back in to check .
 
I've logged a ticket about the fact that I get a crash to desktop on trying to open the universal cartographics screen now that 1.1 is live.

I was out exploring before and after the 1.1 update was installed, I do not know if that is relevant to the problem or not.
 
Bugs. Where do I start.

Version is 1.1 and I kind of sense that you probably know where this is going :D

1) Sound is ROYALLY broken. It's an absolute tin can-fest on SB X-Fi Titanium hooked over optical to Logitech Z5500. Some sounds, e.g. thrusters (Asp) are missing completely. Put on headphones, I feel I've gone deaf. Channels cut in / cut out violently. I can live with lots of annoyances but I am simply not playing until this is put back where it was.

2) Random and SEVERE frame rate drops. i7 4770, 2x GTX760ACX 4GB. The game stutters everywhere, but RES hunting is just a slideshow. Enough said, absolutely game breaking!

3) PDTs destroy your own missiles. Is this a joke? Well, I'm not laughing.

Are there more? Oh hell yes! But I can't be bothered (much like Frontier) as the above render what was an audiovisual FEAST just a couple of days ago, completely unplayable.

I, however, have a quick two-step fix suggestion: revert to 1.07. Leave it.

Thank you Frontier for the amazing stint since 16 December 2014. Not so much for bringing it to an abrupt and violent end.
 
When coming in to land my thrusters don't work until I open and close the ship/target panel.
Thrusters are set to numpad keys, don't know if this makes a difference as the up/down thrusters work and they're on arrow keys.
Also noticed same problem with Starport Services/Enter Hangar/Launch menu occasionally, theres no highlighted option until I open and close a panel.
 
Hello everybody,

i am kind of new but after Patch 1.1 i found that i cant accept some of the Contracts at Stations. It seems that there is an Error keeping me from accepting these despite me having the required cargospace avaiable. All contracts have this "&" sign infront of the Quantity Number.

My Cobra has 20 Cargo Space. So i should be able to take these contracts. I know its only a "minor" Bug but i hope it gets fixed soon.

Best Regards

Cmdr Purgafox

P.S.: Please create a Bug Report Forum where even new Accounts can post Screenshots or Links to report Bugs properbly...... It is anoying not to be able to do so when you want to help reporting these.
 
Strange fuel bug.

Logged on first thing this morning and saw my ship was low on gas. Weird as I always fuel up on entry to the station. No worries, I top it up and ship is sitting at 100%.

Get notification of server maintenance and am logged off. After updating my client I log back on to find my ship has dropped from 100% to 66% fuel.

It's either a bug or someone in tech support is joyriding in my ship during server maintenance. :D Only a 2K loss, but wondering if anyone else experienced this.
 
After having fought, explored and traded my way up to an Asp and 17 millions to spare, I decided to make Leesti my new home system. So after the 1.1 update, I used the new route planner to plot me a way back to LHS 3447 where my good old Sidewinder was parked.

I left my Asp at George Lucas starport and took a long-range kitted Sidey as a temporary taxi to fetch my free Sidewinder.

Arriving at Dalton Gateway, I stripped my taxi Sidey and sold it after changing to my Starter Ship. Then I kitted it out with the same parts I had sold earlier. Now equipped for long range travel, I jumped and scooped my way back to Leesti where my Asp was parked, then swapped ships again. I just wanted George Lucas to be my new home port and my old starter ship to be where I set up my home. Having bought all the rares in the commodity market, I logged out for the night.

Today, upon entering the game, I enter the shipyard on George Lucas starport to show off my ship collection to a friend, when I notice that there are no stored ships there?! Just the Asp I am sitting in?

"Ship Locations" says "Sidewinder LHS 3447" ???
And another Sidewinder in a different location??

Does that mean my free Sidewinder will always automatically be returned to LHS 3447, no matter where I park it? And what about that second Sidewinder? I distinctly remember selling it...

I cannot fathom what happened....
