Low star texture still happens :(

For me the stars still load as low res upon jump in, but now it quickly and smoothly transitions to high res like a half second later. Looks much better to me, I still preferred how they loaded in 2.2 but if this is the price we need to pay for the faster hyperspace times then I'm fine with it. At least it now doesn't stutter and jump all over the place anymore.

Galaxy map is fine for me, I can set my res and SS to whatever I want, no issues anymore. I play at 1920x1080 with SS at 1.5X.

Feels good. :cool:

No, it's not. I use 3440x1440 and it's now gone back to computing positions as if the maps are in a 16:9 window centred on the 21:9 display.

This is not the information I wanted to hear, as I also use 3440x1440...Just for this, they ought to delay the xbox patch another couple weeks because reasons :D

My thoughts exactly. Although I found the salt joke funny, I couldn't understand the attitude behind it. Makes me wonder if FD is aware of their failures. I have seen some apparent resentment towards the community filtering from time to time, and is hard to tell if this recent bit is coming from the same place. Not like I am offended or anything, I think is the most natural thing to make fun of things, and I am sure they might have a lot of fun joking about us at the office, with the incorrectness of it making it even more enjoyable; but we are talking about a community manager publicly calling the community salty. For me this is hard to understand, and it keeps lowering my perception of FD as an incompetent company at nearly every possible aspect of a video game developer.

However! the majority around here seems to have taken it lightly and had no issue with it.

I read the salt-farming joke as saying "Your points have been noted...we'll act on them accordingly". A good many of the points made over the Easter weekend, and beyond, were carefully considered and well-presented. Yes, there were some stupid ones...but they were in the minority.

Flying happy

Speaking as someone who owns the game on Xbox One. I agree with Ian 100%!

Your misguided little crusade is becoming embarrassing to watch at this point. The point update for the XB1 will be released when it is ready! All I can deduce from your non-stop whining over this is that you would have preferred that the PC version of the patch was delayed until it could be provided to YOU at the same time.

THAT is ridiculous and about as entitled as it gets!

Pot kettle and black spring to mind when all you've done is cry over the anaconda cockpit bug which is annoying but not stopping you playing the game .

Patch day and yet again they haven't fixed the problem with the terrible graphics on the zx spectrum version.

SERIOUSLY!!?!? I've been waiting 20+ years for a fix? Did you not get my letter?

p.s. has anyone got a hack for the cameras (in the PC version)? As much as I've grown to, like, l*ve* occasionally the new camera system I'd still like to be able to save custom cameras.


* I was in a high conflict area and two battle cruisers appeared with the sound of earth shattering and promptly spent 30minutes battering the hell out of each other. I stood/cowered from afar and watched, while flying around both ships in camera mode. Pretty cool. Shame they didn't explode when they got to 0% though. A bug?

That's odd. It's now working for me on 3440x1440 (that is, the stem from the pop-up to the system/planet is in the right place, though the map left-side panel is still positioned incorrectly).

There is a big difference between complaining about a bug that was reported on literally DAY ONE of the 2.3 Beta nearly 8 weeks ago that has yet to be included in a single "Known Issues" list, let alone actually fixed, and filling the PC version of the 2.3.01 patch thread with complaints about there not being an Xbox One update on the same day.

The soft lock issue is obviously something that is taking longer to resolve than the remainder of the fixes that .01 contained for PC. Would you have preferred FD to submit TWO updates for the Xbox One? One without the soft lock fix and a second one later that contained it? How many extra days/weeks would that add to your wait for MS approval and the ultimate patch release?

Better yet... How would you and the other XB1 players feel if the Soft Lock bug wasn't even listed as a known issue, despite the overwhelming evidence and complaints over it? Now you are getting closer to a parity with the Conda cockpit and the dozens of other bugs that have yet to make the Known Issues list.

I must say I am really getting fed up with the tone deaf attitude of many around here these days. It doesn't matter whether the Conda cockpit lighting issues are game breaking or not. It remains broken going on 8 WEEKS after it was first reported in 2.3 Beta 0.

Just because some people don't care, don't own, or don't use this ship has nothing to do with it. Many of the Anaconda focused players who were pushing FD to fix the cockpit lighting issues during the Beta have shelved the game over this and won't be returning until it gets fixed. I own 8 ships, so I have plenty of other choices, but I too have mothballed my Anaconda until this gets fixed.

Ultimately, because of how all of this has gone down, there is also going to be a sharp reduction in the number of players willing to Beta test 2.4 whenever that happens. If you haven't figured it out by now, after 2.3 the majority of us who took the Beta tests seriously at least as far as submitting detailed bug reports no longer see any point in bothering next time.

What impact that will have on the public release of the 2.4 version is anyone's guess. It couldn't be any worse than 2.3 was.

I must say I am really getting fed up with the tone deaf attitude of many around here these days. It doesn't matter whether the Conda cockpit lighting issues are game breaking or not. The original bug report was one of the first half dozen posted within an hour of the 2.3 Beta test beginning. Yet it remains broken going on 8 WEEKS later.

Just because some people don't care, don't own, or don't use this ship has nothing to do with the point I am making. The fact this issue remains unaddressed has ticked off a very large number of players. Most of them have shelved the game over it, so don't expect to be seeing many willing to argue with the clueless retorts from the resident apologists over our negative reaction to FD's non-action.

There is also going to be a sharp reduction in the number of players willing to Beta test 2.4 whenever that happens. I'm not talking about the early access hangers on that contribute nothing to the bug reporting process. I am talking about all the players who watched every single bug they discovered and reported on go unaddressed and right into the 2.3 public release.

Those are the players who will not be returning for an encore when 2.4 Beta arrives. If you haven't figured it out by now, none of us see any point in it.

I expect Fdev will make some snarky comment around the office about this and pay no further attention to it. For what its worth, I think your assessment is completely on task, but it won't change anything.

RE: salt comment; was hilarious. I spit the Jameson I was sipping all over my desk!

As To FD being "incompetent"; lulzbucket for that. The smarts behind this game are amazeballs.

Yeah, QA slipped for this release. I'm sure DB is lashing the team for that (and they might be lashing themselves).

Small tweak to the tail camera on the Fer-De-Lance so an installed shipkit piece is more visible - Have seen this lots in patch notes but no shipkits in the store for FDL. Are we getting a shipkit for the FDL?

Thanks.

In the end... This is just a video game to me. Its their livelyhood and reputation. If they don't give a crap about perception by the public over things like this, who am I to stand in their way?

But frankly, I am surprised to see them so eager to win the award for "Most Mediocre Update 2017"? ;)

I wouldn't say we're making fun of the community. More or less saying... yes, we see your feedback, we see your point of views, we'll keep what you all have said on the forums and social in mind when it comes to development of Elite. :)

Don't worry, Brett, I suspect some people had a "sense of humour" bypass at some point in their lives ;).
