Patch Notes Update Beta 2.2 - Update 4

[Shoklar]

Nice fixes, but still getting 'scratchy' intro music and faster than normal speech on voice overs/npc incoming radio messages. I was going to put in a bug report but it sent me to the forum instead. This is with the soundblaster audigy fx on windows 7.

 

[Davey666]

Fish?

I wonder if there will be fish Great job FD. Looking forward to it.

Babel Fish I hope [haha]

I'd like to at least see the ability to use fuel scoops and AFMUs on the locked down slots on the Beluga. Kind of wrecks long distance tourism the way it is now.

Yeah, the new tank is great and all.
But now it's either a fighter bay or a scoop, cause trying to fill a 128t tank with a class 4 scoop is just painful, especially since the heat build-up is as bad as it is.

Honestly I think it needs two class 7 slots, one for shields and one for a scoop.
It's odd to think that the kind of clientele that require luxury cabins want to skimp on shielding.

Cause if there is any subset of customers, I as a combat pilot would like to murder. It's that top 0.5% in luxury cabins.

Delete it - then revalidate game files - a replacement should be downloaded.

I ran into problems similar to this persistently during Beta 3 and repeated with Beta 4. The solution:

Disable the "Cache Check" option.

I infer that if a corrupted file ends up in the download cache, it is never purged even if shown to be wrong.

I've taken the "Scorched Earth" approach-install the Beta from scratch .

 

[Dewson]

looking good but i can't see anything about us poor AMD graphics card users who still can't get into the beta...

Ahhhh, so this is why I can't get in.

 

[kiltum]

Ahhhh, so this is why I can't get in.

Hmm, fixed for me. My HD6900 work again from beta4.

 

[Lothen]

Same here, Radeon HD6900, working fine since beta4 patch

- Fixed headlook not working in station menu

That's a shame. I would consider (the option to) disable headlook in menus to be a positive *feature*, not a bug... (I find head-tracking makes menus unusable, and it's a real pain to have to disable it *every* time I enter stations menus, and (forgetting to) to enable it *every* time I leave the station.)

 

[Starender]

Big nerf -20% damage on drunk missiles, gg Frontier you just destroyed my whole build... guess i'm thinking too much, i should stay with MCs and pulses like everyone else.

 

[Darth Ender]

I was hoping there would be a fix for Y Brown Dwarfs that are too small to be classified as a star and/or too cold (way below room temp) from being treated as a star by the game engine.

They should not give off visible light when they're colder than room temperature.
They should not cause heat buildup as they actually colder than any ship is.

Fixing this long standing bug would automatically give us the dark systems that are written about in books.

I leave disappointed.

 

[GodBlock]

wow you've been busy! thanks for the update, downloading now

 

[Kerrash]

Enough said.

This of course may be a temp problem... if we ever get Engineers for fuel scoops all of a sudden a type 4 scoop with 60% improved flow was a "thing" it may not be such an issue.

 

[Blackstar-]

Thanks Frontier for all the top-notch work!

 

[who?]

Incidentally, FD shared a concept shot of a neutron star or white dwarf when announcing the 2.2 features. Is this in the game or has it morphed into the new stars with the supercharging high-energy streams?

I'm gonna guess, based on the 5324365 videos of neutron stars in the beta, that it morphed into the new stars with the supercharging high-energy streams.

Hah. Ok, I'd only watched 5324362 videos, so I wanted to be sure....

(I wasn't sure if this type was also in the game, but more rare)

Same here. Another grind for weeks to complete a build just to see it nerfed again. Wow.

FRONTIER! stop nerfing things into the damned ground, the heat meta was already balanced. most pvp ships use a rediculous ammount of heat sinks so they arent affected by heat weapons anyways. Heat weapons should still do some kind of thermal damage. or I want you to let us have a free choice at another expirimental effect without re-rolling or using reputation!

and the last people you should be taking advice from is SDC. they are terrorists, all they do is make the game unenjoyable for other players. I garuntee you they didnt hunt expirenced players with their heat meta fiasco they hunted noobs, they hunted players they KNEW were poorly equiped because they know the game better than the developers do! and dont tell me this isnt true because ive had people from support respond to me tickets after confirming with devs and had given me information about the game that was completely FALSE! isntead of refunding me for what was actually a game bug!
