Patch Notes Update CQC Update (1.4) Beta Build Incoming

Just a query on my first beta experience, I seem to have reverted to an earlier period of my ranking with lwr ranks and different cash reserves then I have in the full game. Also the ships all appear to be full price and instead of the 100 crds that I expected to be the case.
 
Mhh interesting changelog, but the PP change is a bit strange...
i mean...it is an indirect nerf to kinetic weapons (since cannons most viable use was shooting the PP), and there was no change towards them (more hull damage or something like that)
So does that mean that Lasers are now the one and only viable weapon?

The player data is an import from a while ago. The ship price is probably an out of date cache, we'll give it a poke.

Cannons and especially railguns still have high penetration.

I also have the same issue. Bought Lifetime Expansion Pass, but I only see the standard, "Elite Dangerous" and "Single Player Combat Training" options.

No updates are available, and I have tried installing the launcher from the Lifetime Expansion Pass download area in the store.


Also, I look forward to testing the Windows 10 AMD stutter fix, I have seen this with AMD fx8350, and Radeon HD7950 OC.

Hello Michael.

Same issue here. Bought LIfetime Pass recently, but Beta download does not show up. Updated Launcher already and tried Log off and Login with re-authentification. :(

Looking forward for a fix. :)


Hey guys,

As Mike mentioned, we are currently looking into the issue. We'll be updating the first post with more news as it's in. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks,

Zac

Kinetic weapons do more damage to hull than thermal ones. If you can't just snipe the power plant anymore, your damage output against hull should become much more important.
 
So could we have a spinning Condor or something in CQC when it's searching for a match? Perhaps a dancing Princess Aisling? It would make kibbitzing about it here so much more memorable.
 
NON-Steam user. Bought the Life time expansion (LTE) pass. No sign of the beta.

Launcher closed and reopened. No change.

Re-downloaded the launcher from the store using the download link next to the LTE pass line. Still no joy.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately same here :(
