Patch Notes Update The Guardians Update: 2.2.01

I have tried everything suggested here i can't download!

But did you:
First wrap your cellphone in tin foil?
Disconnect and reconnect your monitor?
Move your mouse 5 cm tot the left?
Not drink coffee over the last 5 hours?
Put a patch over your right eye?
Donate 10 euro (or clamm shells or pounds whichever is worth more at the moment) to your local homeless shelter?
Do all this standing on a picture of Donald Trump?
While singing the natinal anthem?..backwards....in Swahili?

All kidding aside, but as soon as the advise is going into -hidden- folders deleting stuff and "clearing internet caches" (whatever those may be and hower it should be done in Win 10) something is seriously wrong.
I am a simple gamer -and not even a very succesfull one at that- trying to play a game/sim.
Not a North Korean super hacker worming his way into secret files.

Or to put it simple
Patch kaput -> Frontier fix patch -> customer happy -> buy bobblehead
 
What finally worked for me:
1. Switch the alternative download mode on
2. Close the Launcher
3. Delete/move the EliteDangerous64.exe, EliteDangerous64.exe.part and EliteDangerous64.exe.progress files
4. Start the launcher

Yeah, worked for me too but this kind of info should really be coming from FD Imo.. Thanks anyways :)

Of all the weird solutions...This worked!

Deleting the .exe in addition to the *.part and *.progress files.

My thanks and a big fat rep to you sir. o7
 
So okay. 2.2 brought no new gameplay. Looks like I'll keep ED uninstalled until 2.3. Any small bit I could have had in 2.2 is simply removed by the immersion crowd. Thhhaanksssss.

Ship fighters serves no purpose beyond protecting very few select ships in very specific scenarios most people don't find themselves in that often. Great. Shallow as could be.
Ship transfer are delayed. Amazing. I don't quite feel like staring at a progress bar, thank you.
Planetary scans are now required to see a map's surface, thhhhannnnnksssss. You just made the whole thing redundant, when you're in range for the scan you can already see the planet's surface with your own eyes, thanks for ruining that.

Fdev needs to focus on bringing content and gameplay to the table before worrying about fluffing it up with "immersion", whatever that means for the people without imagination unable to immerse themselves in a game, they need the game to do it for them.

Thanks. Did it methodically like this and it finally worked. :)

I've tried that numerous of times and it still doesn't work :O
 
Phew, finally.

I've removed the EXE and put it on the desktop, started the launcher... PLAY instead of UPGRADE? Okay... tried to launch the game, launcher froze. Moved the EXE back, tried to launch, launcher froze. Verified files - it finally worked.

Seriously FD, sort this out.
 
Finally! I had to manually delete both the .exe + various .part and .progress files several times, but it worked -- after about 90 mins -- the exact amount of time I had to myself...

j,
 
Old good days; we were just cut/rename/move back lovely "VersionInfo.txt.new" file and merely we could play ED [wacky]

So no-one knows about the fish situation pre this patch (last line of patch changelog) ? Two of us have asked already.

Were people allowed to upgrade their ships with fish in the live build or was it just the commodities markets that were removed from engineers ?
 
My downlaod will be done in 3 days! excellent. I wish they would patch the downloader so it works and use torrents.

I did upgrade my Pulses right before patch 2.2.01 in normal way not with a fish. Something about commodities i think.

You could buy fish but you couldn't use them for upgrades, so no real harm done.
