Patch Notes Update CQC Update (1.4) Beta Build Incoming

[Sugarat]

Dumb question I know but.....

Have you closed and reopened the launcher since people have posted it's working for them?

Hundred's of times

 

[stevesideas]

Are you on Oculus rift? Seems that may be an issue looking at the bug forum.

Yes I am. Okay. Thanks for letting me know

 

[Jacob Marshall]

Yeah, Beta progress won't be taken through to the full game. Enjoy your date with CQC.

Thanks for the quick reply *wipes a manly tear from his eye, gives a firm punch to the shoulder* I going to go now, and kill stuff.

I live across the pond.

Pros: Usually initial bugs from release are hammered down by the time I am able to log in to install.

Cons: I get to see posts like this while I am at work, and have to think/dream about it for another 5-6 hours...

Not so patiently waiting for the end of the work day...

 

[Vingtetun]

Great job guys! (I'm secretly taking bids offline as to how long it takes for someone to post the inevitable 'what about [xxxx], is [xxxx] fixed? Where [xxxx] is "something not in the patch notes".....')

Nearly complete on the download, so will be logging on to test it later this evening.

No fix for High energy wake scan while in supercruise?

AAAAAND the prize went to Dwardeen - less than 60 seconds!

(Though, it looks like that might be solved by a range fix....)

Right - time to test.....

Are there any weapon tweaks? I skimmed and didn't see any. Was hoping for some buffs/nerfs to some weapons.

Are insane RES also good for miners to visit?

you may wish to ctrl+f for "penetrating" as odd as that sounds They have basically changed it to how it should have been for all weapons so I expect all will feel different.

Hey Zac, haven't you got a home to go to????

We love you too! *Cough* football, cars, lazers *Cough*

Thank you Zac and the rest of FD, I have not been this excited watching a very slow progress pbar moving left to right since .... well .... Alpha - December 2013. I have no idea what I will be like for Horizons beta.

Trust me, I'm on that already, go give 'em a poke

 

[Uncle_Hiss]

Zac! Sorry to nag you, but what about plasma repeater and rapid cannon form cqc? Will they be added to the main game?

 

[Foxiol Eagle]

Cool notes, can't try betas but I'm looking forward to this new addition hopefully next week!


PS: Also a friend of mine has a weird problem with the game, we have similar specifications but I don't have a single issue with the game. He started to have the problem in Windows 10 as far as I can tell. Basically the game screen goes black but the sound and the game is still working "in the background" and he can move the ship and such. He can't see anything so he has to shut down the game with Task Manager. Sadly he is not playing because of this, so hope the patch helps with it since it can be something related with W10 and Nvidia drivers. (it can be a kernel type of issue somewhere)


Just in case PC specs:

My PC: OS Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit, AMD FX8350 at 4.2Ghz, 8GB RAM 1866mhz, GTX560Ti OC 1GB playing almost maxed at 1920 x 1080p getting 110FPS while in "open space" and 50/60 on bases/stations. No crashes and working fine since day one.

My friend's PC: OS Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit, Intel i5 2500k, 8GB RAM 1600mhz, GTX 670 2GB also playing maxed at 1920 x 1080p.


PS: Yup...went off topic like a boss. Sorry.

So I checked the forums before I left work at 5.00pm and no news on the beta. I get home from work and launch the launcher, and there it is : CQC Beta. Woot! Installing now.

This kitty is a very happy kitty indeed right now. Thanks for the update, changelog and beta-goodness FDev.

Maybe...

Will go poke them now.

Also bought Lifetime expansion today. Had no problems downloading the 1.4 beta. Opened and closed out the launcher a few times.
