Yep can't fix mine. The support page says files update for 2.0.02 but the files themselves have the same date as the previous update (16-12-2015)

Yes I noticed that as well. Surely it can't be that hard to upload the correct files. Been almost 24 hours now and still can't upgrade.

Does anyone reading this thread who has successfully upgraded know how to use Dropbox? I'm sure if some nice person were to upload these files (dat.ovx and root.ovl) they will get truckloads of rep. The location of these files on a standard installation of the 64 bit horizons is as follows
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Win64 -

Thanks in advance :)

I downloaded tunnel bear (free vpn software) and set up a tunnel through Singapore . Update went without a hitch.
?!?

At the risk of stating the obvious, if you have NVidia Optimus, is Elite bound to your NVidia card in your 3D / PhysX settings, rather than the default of "Let Windows choose"?
You took the risk of stating the obvious... :)
It's always worth checking though, so thanks for mentioning it, but I've tried setting up a custom profile, fiddled with the existing one, upgraded to the 359 & 361 drivers and it still doesn't show. NVidia Inspector shows the card is working at full whack and I'm getting similar performance to pre-1.5 Beta (the last time the card was listed in the Options) so I think it's just a minor Options screen error as opposed to not actually using the dedicated card.
 
Damn, I won the lottery and had ALL my keybinds reset after the patch installed. This used to happen at random with older versions and haven't had it happen for quite some time. Alas it has now happened again. :S

Does anyone know why this happens? I did nothing out of the ordinary but simply let the patch install and load the game.

I had this problem earlier (months ago) too. No idea why this happens. I even filled a bug report and ask them to store the config in the cloud, if they do not already.
When Horizon came out, I upgraded and I was happy because all my settings were there. I hope it will remain this way. There are way too much keys to configure them all the time. At least they should a manual export / import feature.

I wonder if the icon of the new multi-step mission should reflect the current step by design? The first dot is highlighted, but it never changes.
An indicator would be nice to know where we are.

Windows client update size.

Does anybody know the size of the Windows client side update for this? I was running the lastest client prior to yesterday's server update.

I'm visiting a remote location with a heavily restricted monthly download limit on a very slow satellite internet. If I leave the update running overnight I might contribute to blowing out my family's internet allowance for the rest of the billing month.

(Should have updated this morning over my optical fibre internet before I left home.)

No, not exactly. But it was only a relatively small update I estimate something between 100 - 200 MB.

Are we all getting a much smoother planetary experience now, or is it just me?

Yep. Orbital cruise, Glide, SRV all feeling smoother now.

I'm on a lowly 750 Ti and Horizons runs great at 1080P with pretty much everything on Ultra. Very satisfied.

I'm not sure if it's changed but early on in the beta and just after, we found that the control settings would just wipe occasionally and I found that if you have any controller change between setting up the custom settings originally and then starting the game they would blank.

In order for everything to stay as you want it then EVERY controller you had plugged in at the time of setting up has to be plugged in when you start the game AND (on my system anyway) has to be plugged into the exact same USB port as it was at set up. If you start up with say... your pedals not plugged in... then that whole profile will fail to load and revert to custom blank.

To get it back just exit the game and plug stuff in then restart the game.

I have found just recently since Horizons came out that I prefer to use my xbox 360 controller to steer the SRV but as the controller is wireless and also goes to sleep, if it isn't alive and working at game startup then my profile doesn't load.

Would it help if forums bugs that have been officially recognised get stickied until they are fixed?

People always ask about the same bugs because they are worried they won't get fixed. Stickying them would show they are 'in the queue' and stop the worry.
