Yep, first I had "Down for maintenance", now it's "unknown error"

Don't delete the folder, wait until your client shows that the update is live and then:

Browse to the %localappdata%\Frontier_Developments\Products folder and rename your current FORC-FDEV-D-1000 folder (folder name may vary slightly) to something else and then rename your PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER folder to whatever your main game folder was originally.

Click Upgrade on your launcher and bathe in the minimal downloady goodness that comes with an incremental upgrade from 1.2 (Beta 4).

Once done you can then delete your original folder which you renamed as a backup in the first stage.

Thanks for that, that really helped!

If anyone is getting sub 1mb/s speeds and you know you should be doing better:

Try the new launcher: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=62562

It worked for me when we went from 1.1.05 to 1.1.06, it might be the same case here. Just trying to help, good luck!

Had a brief moment in 1.2. No walking around my ship though, CTRL-ALT-SPACE? And now the server is gone...

By the time my download finishes it will be up.. or 1.3 will be rolling out.

 

[Makroingo]

You can't walk around your ship in this update.

 

[Jorlin]

I can still run a 20mb/s speedtest to other servers.. Getting .066 from FD.... I'd say they need to speak to THEIR ISP...

strange thing is: some people never have problems with the download speed. i didn't. not once.
others always get the crappy speeds.

trying to figure out the pattern behind it since beta....

If i remember correctly if you use a custom control scheme you have to manually set which key turns on the camera.

Michael what happens if a faction that expands to a system needs a civil war to capture a station from a faction that has less than 5%? Will the war happen or is the expanding faction screwed?
