... and some tweaks to purchasable cosmetics that weren't working quite as intended.

Like Gold Sidewinder paint job disappearing on PS4? Ditto Commander pack?

Can we buy Cobra MK4 and paint jobs now?!

 

[JonathanBurnage]

Still no fix for the Thargoid heart damage instancing bug?

Hi everyone,

2.4.09 is now live... the downtime is expected to be 15 minutes, or maybe slightly longer for those on PS4.

On PS4 this update will appear as 1.13. We are looking in to getting these numbers to match in future, in order to avoid confusion. Thanks!

The update contains a number of bug fixes.

Thanks!

Ed

So the update had bugs too? [big grin]

Hehe, sorry couldn't resist, thanks ED and dev's. All good.

 

[Barking_Mad]

Bugs will fix you.

 

[Sirius Agent]

Currently not. There are some small behind the scenes improvements that will be unnoticeable and some tweaks to purchasable cosmetics that weren't working quite as intended.

Thanks!

Yes, item shop need to work correctly, screw other things... Thanks for nothing again. By the way this game isn't free to play so why you devs are polishing item shop mostly?

 

[tulextreme]

Thought the only 'bugs' in ELITE where Thargoids! Glad to know the galactic federation of pilots got rid of them! Thx team!

 

[PashPliskin]

Great, I failed a mission because of the update...

 

[The Lawful]

Anyone know how big the pc download is ?

5.8 MB

^{(no Basilisk Camo paintjob this time, it seems)}

O7,

There hasn't been a complete overhaul of the very code that does the planetary surfaces in past iterations, though. New materials/lighting/shading code, surface feature generation, and the end of the "beige-ification" that's made planetary landing boring for so many. I'm thinking the dark patches aren't going to continue after Q1.

Yeah, OK - good call! Strike that one from the list (maybe just bung it on the "things to check before releasing" list eh FD?).

This. Very much this, I agree. PLEASE, FDev, do real and if necessary extended beta on these, because huge updates can mean huge bugs.

with the possible exception of moving bobbleheads around, which is my own personal little crusade

Do you mean that thing where the bobble heads move around if you jiggle your head in VR while in hyperspace? Not sure if I want that one fixed or not, it's quite entertaining...

No. It's just that in the livery you used to be able to pick a bobblehead that was already fitted on your dashboard and then select to move it to another position (or it might have been "swap" with another position). This has now been "streamlined" by removing that option. To test it do something like spell out "hello" in alphabet bobbleheads slightly left of centre and then try to move it so it's in the centre, you'll soon see what I mean.

P.S. the more I write the word "bobblehead" the sillier I feel about making a big issue out of this ... it's the little things that drive you mad sometimes tho, right?

 

[Old Duck]

The update contains a number of bug fixes.

a Number™

 

[andrak]

...small behind the scenes improvements that will be unnoticeable...

If unnoticeable why change anything? Any change to the game is surely "noticeable" in some way yes?

We have enough non-information in the game without non-information in the patch notes too.

 

[iFred]

I think FD knows very well what we mean with "lack of communication".
Unbelievable.

 

[Rob At Work]

Since they introduced bugs into the game, they seem to be getting more fixes than the PvP crowd

 

[fritzromanov]

Please be a fix to the Federation ship sound issues. Please be a fix to the Federation ship sound issues. Please be a fix to the Federation ship sound issues.

Thanks!

Thanks Ed, does it fix the missing pre-order bonus Gold Sidewinder skin which was on PS4?
