Check your bios and try to change the time and date settings on your OS. That bug happens because you have a problem with the time and date settings on your computer.
I agree you can experience much of Elite in 50 hours.
That said, most of the games I've sunk more than 50 hours into are games with fun multiplayer modes.
Simply put, it's just fun to get online and talk to friends and try stuff.
That's really the only reason I'm still playing Elite and Destiny 2.
It's fun to play with friends even if it's something you played before.
Heck, I bet I could get close to a dozen friends to play Vegas 2 Terrorist Hunt if I asked - that game was so much fun!
But, I guess you could say that about any game, including card and board games.
I feel so stupid, checking the news section of this forum every few hours to look for a announcement of 3.0. I felt the time between Beta and Release was almost zero in the past. But I am probably wrong on this.
Yes, I am a grown up, and I am patient - at least I am trying
You're not the only one. The other updates were easier to wait for in my case; they were all adding features, but not changing much for the current game. With this one, I'm eagerly awaiting the changes to the Material and Data inventories, as both of mine are nearly full. I keep purging low level items to make room for high level ones (which, with the material/data traders, can easily multiply into many more lower level mats/data), but I'm reaching my limit.
I'm also very eager to play with the Chieftain again.
I think just knowing the actual date would help. Not even knowing when they'll announce the date is adding to the frustration.
In the last newsletter, Frontier announces:
"Chapter One was closed this week! Please stay tuned for more information about the launch."
If we have to stay in alert, in my opinion it's for very soon(tm)
Huh? So hundreds and hundreds of people have problem with the time/date on their PCs, are you kidding me? Ah, nope. I use NTP thanks so my clock is synced perfectly to the time servers. Try again please. And if this were the issue you think they'd reply with this to the dozens of times I've posted and opened tickets about this. Even still this is a bug with root cause clearly but the fix needs to be made in game.
Personally I hope they wait another month before they release. I could care less about the extremely minor feature changes (save for the new planets look very nice) and just want them to clean put the mess the code is currently in. Just give us something that works consistently, I've never in 25 years in IT seen a game this buggy.
Elite has much bigger scope than NMS, it's much more complicated, that's why it's difficult to change one thing because you need to change others. You can throw any crap into NMS, because it's not even a sim or something. It had nothing to begin with, and anything will look like a good bunch of content. It's like comparing Forza with Mario Kart, or Arma with CoD, or X3 with Freelancer, or Tekken with Smash Bros, I can go on and on.. Really, so while I'm trying to make one vehicle for Forza, the other guy has already made 5 of them for Mario Kart. I'm hyperbolizing probably, but the simpler a game is, the easier to add content to it.

can we get a general date for the release? days or weeks?
My money's on an 3.0 launch date in Friday's newsletter.
Ditto!
In the nearly two years I've been playing Elite, a lot of functionality has been added. That said, it sometimes can feel like they move at a snails pace :-(
NMS has awesome planets full of life, but still no proper multiplayer imo, which is why I play Elite instead of NMS.
And that's probably why NMS is easier to add content to - it's basically a single player game with some network functionality (global database of names, discoveries, etc.)
Well, I can't agree that NMS isn't complicated or deep.
The planetary surfaces of NMS are rich and detailed and a lot of fun to explore on foot.
Yeah, flying your ship and mining seems simplistic to me, but the planets are so cool when you find a good one you don't want to leave!
And with over 18 quintillion possible planets to visit, I wouldn't call NMS's scope small.
That said, imo what makes Elite complicated is the fact that it's an open world multiplayer game.
So on that side, yeah I would agree it must be easier to test and update NMS since it really is just an SP game at heart.

The update should be soon, the beta was just closed so it shouldnt be to much longer, i think they are trying to add 2 more spoilers to the type 10.:x[big grin]

Could not find a thread regarding this. Can someone tell me how to create a new thread?
I've lost two ships from storage. My Asp Explorer and a Vulture. I had a great deal of time spent on these two ships. Neither of them show up in storage only my two Sidewinders.This is unacceptable and this has happened to others.If you can't restore to me my two ships there is simply no reason to continue playing. I have not gone to the forums yet but will if i don't hear back. I'd like a refund for the game as I obviously can no longer play it knowing my hard work will always be destroyed. Please restore my ships of refund me for the game and I will removes it from my system. Love the game but this is ridiculous and I've notice it has happened to others.
