"About Frontier Games

Frontier Games is a UK-based video game company. It turned to AWS to develop and host its games, including Zoo Tycoon, Elite: Dangerous, and Coaster Crazy. By using AWS, Frontier Games can scale compute resources easily to handle large spikes in user traffic with popular titles, and is saving up to 30 percent compared to using a traditional technology infrastructure, allowing it to focus financial resources on game development instead of on IT hardware."

I guess Elite is not popular enough then.......
 
Keep calm and buy the new paint jobs today.

With the current Servers situation that's the only thing we can do...

Where would we go if we'd just accept failure right away? Let the servers burn to its maximum extend for the sole reason to get an idea of what is possible and where the server capacity needs to be set.
Since we don't have any detailed information we can only guess that it's the heavy workload of so many players trying to get into the game at the same time. Having said that, a proper log in queue would be appropiate. Why doesn't this exist already? Oh right, FDev .. servers ..

Updating game er launcher...then game can do the do whilst I sleep time for this old fart to hit the hay, ok got the verification: VMABS bro...hey its bad but worth the effort :D.
 
It's an ill wind blows nobody any good ... I've just discovered that the first incursion Challenge Scenario in Training makes an excellent fixed weapons trainer.
 
I can’t even get my pc on. Oh noooo....wife unplugged it at the mains....why? Why why why. It’s not as though I’ve been away and...oh...but it’s new annoying scanner missus!
Glad it’s all ‘working as planned’
CQC working?
 
Really no excuse for the server problems today!

Sure there is:

1, It's traditional.
2, You should never mess with tradition.
3, This way you don't get to find the bugs yet.
4, You get to look forward to finding the bugs.
5, If you were playing right now you'd not have had time to come in and do a forum post.
6, Hi, by the way.
7, It's a patch day tradition.
8, Wait, didn't I already do that one?
9, Where would be the fun in NOT having the pleasure anticipating the new patch anymore?
10, errrm….
 
OP is very optimistic . Maybe the server room is burning right now and FD call the fireman.
But if I can play after tomorrow , is fine. :)
