It is weird then because I assume we are all getting it off the same server?
I am Manchester UK is that makes any difference?
I am with Plusnet, not that my ISP should matter either but my speeds are around 37mb down and 8mb up.

Totally nonplussed why you guys are getting such slow speeds and mine was < 10 mins completed.
 
Can see a lot of fun and grind relief coming out of CQC, looks and plays amazing on the Oculus Rift! Shame about the respawn bug on DK2 will test more when that's fixed.. Main game fps tracking issues with Rift at random times, in open play..

It has been like that for at least a year. Some folks get it quickly, others get it slowly, and no obvious pattern, other than if you were slow on one release, you tended to be slow on others. Nothing to do with bandwidth, per se: I was always in the slow camp, and I have no problems with most downloads.

I am in Warrington on Virginmedia and have just tested using a download off the newsgroups, it went steady at 142meg. It could be that the servers are getting hammered.


******Edit******

Its just jumped to 80meg so that's down to 10mins :)

Well for me the 1.4 powerplay beta was done in about 10 mins but i was in early for that at time

Good looking list...will paw through it extensively!

I do have a suggestion...to help everyone:

Can you organize future changelogs so that the various fixes specific to each platform are separated by platform...and fixes that are global to all are put together? It might not be worth the effort...but it should clean up the overall log...and help people focus on what was bugged and changed...

Amazon infrastructure doesn't work like that. They will distribute the work load over multiple server farms they own all around the world, they buy in capacity as and when needed from third party server farms, even Google does this. Your download will be from the least busiest server in the network, ideally that would be from Ireland or one their centers in London but if those are busy or you are unlucky it could theoretically be from America.

I would guess frontier uses Amazon CloudFront to distribute the game to us.

This time mine was start about 6:45 and was complete around 7:30.

CQC rocks socks off. There are issues with matchmaking but nothing FD can't improve/fix. Gameplay is solid, and it's small, little mode lot of commanders will enjoy. It doesn't take away from main game, it adds to it.

While there's no lot of to the core gameplay, lots of fundamental changes plus some new introductions are here finally.
 
I'm on a mac - the launcher doesn't prompt to download any update (restarted it several times) and there's no cqc option in main menu. Any ideas?
 
Does this mean that the refinery auto load for empty bins won't make it in 1.4? Or is there still a chance?

Don't need a promise, just want to know if that's still on the table.

1.4 is in beta, they will go live in full release :)

I understand that 1.4 is in beta, but the client build that was released today was a build for PC and Mac. As far as I know, they did not roll out a new Xbox client today?

So I'm wondering why there are lots of fixes in the patch notex labelled as Xbox One - how can they roll out fixes to the Xbox One without pushing out a new client?
