- Thread starter Brett C
- Start date
Hi guys. Just a quick tip relating to future updates. Could you guys *please* put the most recent version of the data.ovx and root.ovl files up on the Support Page, so that those of us with crappy Australian ISP's can update the game without any dramas?
Thanks in advance

THAT IS SO NOT FAIR, IT WAS POSTED BY ED SUPPORT EARLIER.
Sorry for the caps.
i had the same issue and did the part file thing and alt. download and left it...came back 40 min later ...all good.
Not gonna skold ya, cause should you have read 100 posts ? ..hmm . but the ED did nothing is just not true and so uncalled for. The player helping you didn't grap that answer out of thin air.
Don't backstap when you are sorted out ..there is no reason for it and so on ...
that's you told off

love this place I find this very unlikely, given that you aren't even killed for being wanted yourself unless you commit a crime in sight of the station.

So this bug is almost half a year old and they still didnt fix it nice. Ive been playing from gamma, Ive taken so much issues with this game, I own 2 vanilla + 2 horizons accounts I shouldnt be required to manually fidget in directory and delete X files for the game to work.If they cant do it give us alternate downloads its 2016 no more excuses.
It's a bit late but just to clarify...
By the time 2.0 was released, everything was fine. With the release of 2.1, the heading readout was "fixed??" so that it was now 180° out (0° was actually pointing South when it should be pointing North). In 2.2 the heading readout was corrected (back to 2.0 state), but the lat/long values (in the lower right of the central hud layout) were swapped so that longitude was now shown first. This not only contradicted general standards but also reversed untold number of readings that players had possibly recorded from previous versions.
It's really a bit odd that we've gone through all of this because I can't for the life of me figure out what needed "fixing" after 2.0. But here we are.
I haven't tested yet, but hopefully we are now back to the correct 2.0 state. Which should be heading 0° actually points North (to the North pole) and latitude is displayed above longitude.

it is not you or ED..it is what is in between, internet. In the world of Pc's and the mystery around it....things happend for no good reason.
Do you really think FD is dizzing their customers...in my world no paying customer no money..it is that simple.
They are not going to lease 10 million new servers for one problem....why cause the 99.9% wont pay for the 0.1% problems....wow how nice of them...damn bas%&/%&. well in perfect world yes.
If you start to see internet like weather...it might wash out a road and stop traffic....a random event....
FD identified the random event and cautioned the player base. That faq was updated last Sunday 18th September 2016. So as a good man you should have consulted that solution first.
So the question is ....is that problem due to player patience or internet being internet or bad programming on FD's part. Do you complaint correct instead of going for the just one .
Yes it is an issue that in my book should not exist today...so let's come together and fraging fix it . FD relay on us and we on them...well let's work together and help if we can.
Try and look at your windows errors and try troubleshoot that ...nightmare for the normal consumer. Enough of that ....I have tried and seen far worse things that this game ....and 40% at least was user error myself included. I typed my password correcet..hmm no you didn't if you did then it would log you in.
Internet flaw ..is that it is made by humans

Not tach savvy here. Failed quite a few times to update yesterday (directly from the launcher) and hence didn't get to pay my last respects entirely to Walter Waldo. I swapped update method to steam and after a few attempts succeeded.
Unfortunately I cannot access my copy directly from the launcher anymore as it stubbornly wants an update. Not willing to put my sticky little fingers through the game files. Should I reload the launcher?
Anyway off collecting my CG cash now as the game launched through steam. This could be just beginner's luck but the station services screen loaded damn fast today. My minimum specs (sub) laptop usually pauses for tea and biscuits at that point.
Anyway if you still have problems and steam maybe try that way? Benefit is steam doesn't quit on failure but tries again and again.
Oh and no surprise we didn't get to tier 9, hamstrung at the end by update.

I currently have 2 long range missions to the same system, to collect scan data. Went there, did that, returned, and now I can't find anywhere to finish, collect, and dump the passengers off. I submitted a ticket, but waiting up to 72 hours to finish this is a bit of a show stopper for now as each contract is worth 25 Mil cr.
No way available in either the Transaction Panel descriptions or in the Galaxy Map to verify the return destination. I checked all the systems I visited before leaving, but can't find any way to hand everything and close these out.
Just in case anyone is still having issues, this patch was the first time I've ever had any difficulty, it was the EliteDangerous64.exe (going from memory here) and using either method, alternative or normal was getting the can't read from network stream. Deleting the .progress and .part files made no difference. I eventually fixed it by changing the "Automatically detect proxy" to off in the network settings of IE (Internet Options/Connections/Lan Settings), soon as that was changed it was instant.

I had this problem too.
If you have the Steam version, try updating via the Steam console rather than directly through the game start-up screen.
This worked for me.
Mine upgraded okay but gameplay is very buggy with screens hanging. It is taking my Commodities Market between 30-90 secs to open each time I use it. I am also intermittently losing the option to get to the main menu as my ESC key sometimes doesn't work either. Have found a sort of hit and miss workaround by hitting the Windows key to minimize game to desktop but that doesn't work all the time and the game still hangs a bit.
Another player is having the same issue that I am with the System Map not coming up/hanging the game.
I am disappointed that I am not hallucinating the issue.
Bug report and support tickets (with verbose logs, etc) submitted. Game files updated. Rebooted system. Had colonoscopy too.

I was having this problem too, followed your instructions and the download breezed through just fine for me also, thanks for your help
