Patch Notes Update Elite Dangerous - Beta 6 update

Yeah, almost 2 mil a pop.
That... Wouldn't happen to be the very same FDL that you live commander owns? If so, that is the problem it was purchased at pre-beta cost and retains that level of value and rebuy. Sell it and buy a beta FDL at the beta price. The rebuy will be based on the beta purchase price instead of normal price.
 
Official release of the Engineers on 26th of May but no official announcement about it? Was said last night on the beta livestream by Ed.

Hi Cmdr Texas Stu, I saw your comments about this in the chat during the livestream yesterday. I have just tried it out myself, and wasn't able to reproduce the issue. I can't find any bug report from you in the beta bug report forum: what sort of cargo were you dropping? How had you aquired the cargo in the first place (purchased? mission cargo? scooped?) Where were you when it happened? The more details we have, the better chance we have of looking into it.
 
Oh well, that sucks. Got a working copy of data.ovx......but now I'm having validation issues with the file data.ovs.models_l0, in this folder:

C:\Games\Elite Dangerous\EDLaunch\Products\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64\Win64\Items\PlanetPorts\PlanetPortModules\PP_MediumDock

Again, if anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it :).

Hi Marc, I have had the exact same problem since the launch of ED. Almost every major update failed and I had to beg for someone to post the correct Data.ovx file. The only thing that will fix this permanently is getting a VPN account. Tried every other fix support suggested, but this is the only thing that works without fail every time. I know its a pain but you might be able to find a relatively cheap one where you are. Anyway, give it a go.....hope it works out.
 
Hi my fellow Commanders,

A quick question:
Is it me, or every new Beta 2.1 release (from v1 till v6 now) is introducing better and better game performance??

Having the impression that every new build I'm gaining more and more FPS!

Sorry to say that, but I believe the Frontier Developments' programmers are using some kind of sorcery with their work. Whatever black magic it is - KEEP IT UP PLEASE!! I LOVE U PEOPLE!!!! <3

Have a great, sunny weekend everyone! :D
 
It's working fine for me. They did state that them appearing in the galaxy map will only work with new ones though, not with older placed ones.
Yeah, I've deleted the test ones and tried to get it, specifically I guess what I don't understand is the.

Added icons to show nested bookmarks (when the bookmark is for an oject lower in the location hierarchy) in the galaxy map and system map

part. I don't see a nesting?
 
Regarding point:
- Allow reputation to be earned from other sources than generating upgrades

Went to farseer's base (only had 1* rep with her) but i didn't see anything indicating another way to gain rep .... missing something?
Is it as simple as bringing commodities to trade in the market?
Didn't have a BB and didn't see an obviously aligned faction with Farseer Inc.

Sing out if you still need this file

- Yarp, VPN or cheap wireless broadband dongle and cheap prepaid data seem to be the most reliable.
the workarounds I espoused over the last few 2.1 beta release threads didn't sort the beta 6 download on the offending files mentioned
had to resort to the wireless broadband to get me over the line with Beta 6
 
Can't install the new update keep getting this error:

Unhandled exception during project update :


Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

any ideas guys?
 
_Sounds_ like a similar issue to "data validation" failure.
Are you in Australia and have Optus as your ISP, by any chance?

There's plenty of posts in the beta release threads over the last 2-3 updates on similar issue. The short of it:
- in Options menu on ED launcher:
-- switch off 'use game cache' (if it is ticked)
-- switch on 'Alternative Download Method'
- close ED Launcher
- clear IE cache (assuming IE installed on your machine)
- remove VirtualCache.xml file (in EDLaunch or EDLaunch\Products folder) if it exists
- search the PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64 folder for and clear any .part and .progress files found in the public beta folder on your PC
- Run ED Launcher and try upgrading again

I wouldn't be surprised if the above fails. See my above post and particularly @BrownShortz 's post soon before it (#148)

Yes, sell exploration data or hand in bounties and it should go up.
 
They certainly nerfed the probability of getting experimental effect with multi-cannons if you get a good upgrade from the primary's , spent just over 300 fish trying the lottery on it and nothing, :/

And just imagine when each of those fish actually means tens of mins/hours of collecting instead!?

Would love to know how much needs to be handed in to move to each of the levels... How mad have FD gone with this?

I guess that's why they've allowed a week to beta-test the "normal" probabilities.
