Well, since the Thargoids took over the FD offices, th dev cycle has been sped-up considerably. Good job, you amonia buggers.
Not too surprised, most expansion launches has been buggier than this beta, and I think I had more disconnects in live game this weekend than in the beta.
And I spent about the same amount of time in either.

Anyone else trying the beta notice a speed increase in the FPS?

Sandro is a servant of the space loaches
They wanted him dead bad!
Didn't measure fps and now I can't anymore, but VR (Oculus) was noticably smoother in the beta.

The space loach actually reminds me of the keeper Londo had to "wear" in Babylon 5.
Graphics improved to . at low settings the vapours and atmostpheres of stations and stars are highly detailed .
And in ultra a huge improvement of the stars
And Lewis told us that "the vast majority of players won’t notice a difference"
I am pretty sure that it is a result of dropping Win32 support.
I'm pretty sure bugs are going to be fixed until the open beta starts in a few days - but you can't fix bugs that haven't been reported, hence the short closed beta: to catch the most common and/or embarassing bugs before going live for all...
Well it felt like a lot longer that 3 days to me. In that time I did a 6Kly mini exploration, faffed with my livery, Engineered my AspX for greater range, and did countless numbers of 2m Cr missions to earn over 200m credits overall in the three days all without doing one of those wrong decimal point missions.
I must have been interdicted 10-20 times by NPC's evading some, submitting to others and purposely attempting but failing to evade a few too. The Anaconda's that were interdicting me were much more powerful than the ships that usually interdict me in live and I got the rebuy screen handed to me within a few seconds most times.
I did however learn some new techniques to evade interdiction before it even starts which was good fun to try out. Using the radar and improving my situational awareness, I was able to get docked a few times without the interdiction even happening because I effectively kept breaking the line of sight between me and the bounty hunter/enemy whilst still in supercruise.
In that time I also managed to report three or four bugs.
In terms of performance I run a laptop with 24GB of RAM a couple of SSD's and 1TB HDD that Elite is installed on. It has an NVidia 870M based GFX card and I upped the graphics settings from high to Ultra for the beta. Speed wise, on High, my FPS rose significantly, on Ultra, my FPS was about the same as 2.3 is in live.
As long as the major bugs are fixed, I have to say 3 days playing 2.4 left me with good vibes overall. Roll on the public beta
