Patch Notes Update Beta Update 1.04 Now Available

Rumor has it that they're placed up on the roof to bask in this glowy-ball-thing in the sky.

NEVER upset a system administrator, they could turn into a BOFH. So praise them, kneel before them, obey them, so you never feel their wraith.

Edit: You have to lookup BOFH on wikipedia yourself. The url contains a word that is changed into *******. Hence the url doesn't work.

Quick trade run between 2 outlying stars so far:

• Improvements to joining populated multiplayer islands. - Didn't see anybody in SC or around stations. Snappy in and out of frameshift but still a lot of shake arriving at a station maybe 10-20secs.
Probably the server reset causing low populations so will check again later if i can beat my record of about 3 other PCs in my island that i can see on my screen at the same time.

By the way: Kudos for short update times, and also for incremental client-updates. There are many companies out there that don´t have this high quality in update management!

Edit: I do _not_ talk about the time between 2 updates, but the "outage"-time...

thanks FD, a bug fix release is all I needed

Thanks for update. Come back here to report on changes. At work but interested if there are differences with more people showing in Islands now

My C3 gimballed pulse laser seems to work again - at least during my 10 minutes of testing.

Thanks, FD!

Good luck with the ongoing Std.Beta 2 push.

Took a quick look and everything looks the same, no new HUD or side panel look in this build. The update downloaded pretty quickly. Will try out some different loadouts on the Anaconda later to see if the outfitting problems are fixed.

 

[Jaykay]

Are the multiplayer island fixes aimed at also improving the likelihood for friends to be in same islands when trying to meet up and fly together? or is it just a improvement on the amount of players in an island?

Two crashes in 5 minutes so far, only ever crashed once since SB. Auto tickets sent.

At Frist I was Excited About Another Update!

Yet, this one is only a small update and not very interesting to me at all.

It does not even address any of the problems I'm having, because I haven't got that far into the bloody game yet.

Right now, I need to uninstall the last update and launcher!

Do I need to do that?

Because when ever I click on my email address, that option to uninstall is not longer appearing in the little box.

Is there something, I'm not doing?

Well you could always call it a specific kind of Operator From Hell of which the father is not really legitimate

I will pick up my scattered toys that were pram launched last night and try out MP / Groups again later tonight. I've never seen ANY of my friends in the same instance for a fortnight. That was a 100% deal breaker for me. Fingers crossed!

Bit of a case of too little too late here with 1.04?

I'd imagine a lot of folk are done with playing with this build in an effort not to burn out. I'm looking forward to beta 2 but these fixes coming now seems to indicate that's a long way off otherwise I'd imagine they'd have formed part of beta 2 release.

No need to be flamed please guys it's just an opinion.

A lot of behind the scenes network tinkering has been going on in the past 3 weeks I reckon. Hence the reported light client update.

Good one ;-)

Thanks for the update. Shame I'm at work right now otherwise I'd be trading like a diva!

As we don't know Beta 2 release date, it is at least few weeks off. In mean time these are quite critical patches, and devs will be able to see results before Beta 2 rollout. So it might just mean FD wanted us to test these ASAP. Also people requested insurance bug to be fixed for long time now.

Yes and no. I won't be playing* until beta 2 for exactly that reason. But plenty of people are still playing*, so I guess they'll appreciate the update.
