Patch Notes Update Update 2.3.02 Coming 10am BST 27/04

The "Reverted 2.3's increase in faction influence from redeeming bounty vouchers" is interesting.

Does it mean the entire SuperPower Bounty mechanics are reverted, too (i.e. handed in benefits the controlling Faction again if not SuperPower-aligned, as it was pre-2.3) ?

I think the Super Power mechanics are staying.

In 2.3 we increased the amount of influence from bounty vouchers, this change will revert that back to pre 2.3 levels. All other changes are remaining as they are now, for the time being at least.

When the release for Xbox happens, can we expect 1 patch release on one day? or a couple spread out over a couple days like it's been for PC/Mac now?

I would expect that everything that has been patched for PC will be rolled into one for Xbox.

Does it make sense to patch something like influence possibilitys on only one (two) platform during it stays on the other? Pc cmdrs doesn't have increased influence whyle xBox cmdrs still can do it? I mean....we share the same universe (even if we will never meet)

That being the case, didn't they just add a week to 10 days on to the Xbox menu bug fix by adding to what needs to go through certification?

Thank you very much!

I would think the influence would be a server side fix. If that's the case, it will fix the XB1 side as well.

Good question and one I'd like some clarity on.
I'm assuming the roll back reduces BHing influence effect but that the recent superpower mechanic is still relevant.

Could be a server side change.

PS
Actually I am pretty sure it is. I don't think the client is able to manipulate the BGS, this would be open to all kinds of cheats. So no reason they can't change it for Xbox and PC without deploying a client update on both platforms.

correct

Good on Frontier.

I'm glad to see these small patches in quick succession, and hope it will be a harbinger of the future.

Has Frontier switched to devops?

 

[StevieG]

High five

IDK what the certification process involves or how long it takes. If I were to guess, I'd say that they wouldn't submit for certification until they are satisfied with the hot fixes enough that they could submit without having to be concerned about further changes.

• Fixed an adjudication server disconnection from passenger missions

AW YEAH!

That's caught me way too many times, glad it's sorted!

 

[rally]

Any word on mining buffs and reverting the removal of the exporting of engineering data from the API?

These were both promised to me in my imagination so I'm eagerly awaiting them.

*dies*

thanks for the patch though.

 

[NavyBee]

Thanks a lot for reacting so quickly!

Factions
• Reverted 2.3's increase in faction influence from redeeming bounty vouchers

Tbh I could have done without this re-re-balancing, but judging from the voices around here you have the vast majority on your side.

You must not play the bgs for an independent faction. Its near impossible to gain influence in a system with traffic.

I'm slightly confused. I thought the all platforms would be on equal versions of the game since horizons was released? If that's no longer the case, should all patches now be considered for PC only unless specified otherwise? Also wondering if this will cause issues on server side of things like BGS?

Major updates yes, bug fixing patches not so much.

There have been a number of XBox only patch/updates since Horizons was released also. If the update only address bugs and doesn't introduce new features.

And as others have said, the BGS changes are most likely to be done server side for all platforms.

Hi everyone,

We're extending tomorrow morning's usual hour-long downtime to roughly two hours to allow us to implement the 2.3.02 update (for PC and Mac players).

The galaxy servers will go down at 8am and they are expected to be back up for 10am. This information is subject to change, but it is the current plan. I'll let you know if there are any changes to this. The downtime will affect Xbox One Players too, but the 2.3.02 patch will not be added for Xbox One.
The update contains the following changes:

Stability Fixes
• Fixed a crash that could occur in Capital Ship encounters
• Fixed a crash that could occur under various circumstances, such as when alt-tabbing and loading the game

Factions
• Reverted 2.3's increase in faction influence from redeeming bounty vouchers

General Fixes & Tweaks
• Fixed an issue with a vessel's total value not reflecting changes when outfitting modules

Missions
• Fixed an adjudication server disconnection from passenger missions

2 updates in a week? Am I dreaming? PLEASE , keep it up!

I don't mind having to download anything up to 400Mb if this means active Bug killing!

 

[Captain Hooch]

Any word on the bug where crew members sometimes warp into the pilots chair, or where hud elements don't show up for crew flying in the SLF or using the Gunner position?
