Did FD remove the patch note that stated the shader warming option was enabled? I don't see it anywhere in the post but on Reddit someone pasted the patch that had the shader warming option part. Also still getting abysmal frames in SC with AMD...

Did this solve the problem with disappeared drones during scooping with friend's ship nearby?

pre-compiling shaders is not in this patch.
Perhaps it was an error early in the post and is actually going in 1.4. Either way it sucks not getting put in. Or at least turning it back on blanket style. Not sure what card benefits from on-demand shader compiling (hint, none). What would be nice though is if they delayed it so the feature saves the compiled shaders to disk so we're not rebuilding the same identical shaders every time the game loads.

Well if they're sensible their uPnP test area is totally separate from every other network - uPnP is a huge security hole (yeah, lets allow any device on my network to open any inbound ports on the firewall whenever they please - that'll end well), and I always switch it off (or not have it at all in the case of my firewall).
The way you've now changed the AppConfig.xml file is the only way I've had it working - just wish FD would document this better.
Why were merit totals changed for Midpar and Ewah in Pranav Antal space?
Yep - just did extensive testing - two people on same LAN and cannot Wing Up.
AppNetCfg.xml adds this line to each:
<AppNetCfg ip="####IP####" upnp="true" router="6" />
Wings used to be great before 1.3. Is there anything at all I can try? I am prepared to test ANYTHING to get this working again!
Ok. Try, on one of the machines, tunnelling all your Internet traffic via a VPN. Something like Golden Frog's VyprVPN Free service should do to trial it. This should trick things into looking like you are not on the same LAN. I've accidentally left my VPN connection up whilst playing ED before and have not noticed a difference, but YMMV depending on where you are in the Internet.

Thanks for coming up with a plan! Looks like I fixed it though last night (edited my answer above). Needed to set each machine up on a separate port manually and port forward. I also disabled upnp. Will try switching upnp back on tonight with just the port set to make sure then write up a bug report.
Seems to point at upnp failing for more than one machine on a lan. What I can't understand though is surely that set up is how networking operates in the Frontier offices so why haven't they noticed this?
Still a bit confused with naval rank progression system. Is it now like:
1. do "X" amount of missions, regardless of:
- whether you stay in 1 space station or moving around
- level of your reputation with minor factions
- means we can stay in a certain system and keep grinding missions till naval rank mission shows up
or,
2. gain certain level of reputation with major faction through missions from minor factions. We have to travel from 1 system to another, not just sit back and clicking bulletin board as we know that gaining reputation with minor factions in a system is harder when it gets to certain level.
can someone please clarify this?

Because someone was cheating and was banned and their credits and merits removed.

What is going on about the german translation? Nothing has changed since the first beta of PowerPlay! I have had created a big bug report about this and I would like to know if a complete and corect translation will arrive soon(tm) ?

Would it make sense to replace Conflict Zones with Debris Fields while a system is in a state of post-conflict cooldown, as a cue?
Is there any development regarding the functionality of the mobile app? It was mentioned in relation to Powerplay (before that was released) that the app would be given some practical purpose.
I have suggested that it could be used to enable simple tasks like accepting Powerplay material allocations, which would be a huge help for players like me who are at work all day and can't access a game-spec PC until we get home.
Is there any chance we'll see the mobile app functionality being addressed in the near future?

That is an excellent suggestion, and could be tied in to expanded Salvage possibilities as well.
Did we lose the ability to switch modules to more than one shield cell bank, as after using one bank up I switched to my second and it wouldn't operate. I don't have a problem with only one bank , in fact I have suggested it on another thread. But if it has been changed would rather not find out in the middle of a res fighting high value NPC's
