From the Launcher:
Beta 1.04 introduces new international flag paintjobs for the Falcon deLacy Viper which are available to buy from the Elite: Dangerous store and provides fixes for a number of reported issues including:
[...]

I saw this also... But I don't see those paints in the store...
 
Update 1.04...what a disaster!

I really don't mean to be harsh here as I work in IT myself so I have some idea what it takes to roll out changes. But i have to say Frontier, 1.04 is a poor update. Apart from now not being able to re-buy my existing layout, I've experienced loads of system freezes, not being able to drop out of jump drive, being dropped out of jump drive in silent running whilst getting a cuppa only to come back to find my ship has overheated and blown up.....I can take all that but when you graft for hours building up some credits to see it all disappear in a split second for no result of my own is quite demoralizing.

Can we not have a rollback to 1.03 until you iron out all these issues....1.03 was far more stable in my experience.
 
Damn FD :)

This update needs to killed. Killed with fire.

1) Long load times into the game session (> 2 mins) assuming it loads at all. If it doesnt after 3 mins i kill the session with C-A-D.

2) A lot of lag when actually in the game - player ships bouncing around, stations bouncing around. NPC's all doing the lag chicken also. Not to mention when you can hit them they then lag out and regain all the hull and shield hitpoints.

3) Crashing .. a lot of that. Requiring C-A-D to get back to point 1.

Very poor, not at all what we are used to with your updates.

Killed with fire please. :D

HI All,

I like the idea of Viper paint jobs, may downgrade from the Cobra. I must be the only person who does not like the Cobra :lol. Hiowever I felt the same about the Eagle in PB, but recently spent far to much time in one having a great time prviateering between Aulin and I-Bootis, making 15K-20K an hour.

However the above is not the point of the post. In 1.03 I occasionally had prboems going into SC mode. Countdown completes, white overlay starts and this freezes. By freezes I mean proper freezes, the spacedust stop etc. I have just tried SC 3 times in 10.4 and it has happened everytime, I wonder if is load related?

Yep same here, trying to play for the last hour and had over 5 freezes and one crash, it worked fine until this update grrrrrrrrr
 
I have just lost my entire post because even though I was careful to copy it before it let me know.

I wasn't logged in (After, I had already done so, a while earlier!) I was tricked into swapping what I copied for a new password after this bloody website had told me the one I was using was not working. This has happened so many times.

Its not funny. So don't laugh.

To boil everything that I'm [removed] off about right down....

I never paid almost $2000.00 AUD to spend more time dealing with the [removed] that keeps getting thrown in path before I even get to play the bloody game. I sick and tired of being forced to over think the simplest just to get it done.

Right now, I have to wait perhaps another day before this update that would appear to be totally (Useless to me at this stage!)

Right now, the golden bar is barely centre-metre across and it's been more than a hour or so since it started.

Don't know what else to say, and too angry to continue.

BTW I omitted the swearing from my other more relevant post before it was lost to me, but not this time.

Sure, I know this forum has rules, but I think those rules should only obeyed under the right conditions.

Please fix the [removed] forum so it doesn't log me out every fifteen minutes
all the time and force me to reset my bloody password as well.

Different experience for me during an hour playtime:
Load times are between 10 and 20 seconds longer.

No CTDs.

Counted 8 players in supercruise on two occasions.

Counted 6 players in Azeban City.

Counted 5 players in Federal Distress. Might have been more but had to beat a hasty retreat as 4 of the other players were on the other side and all opened fire on me whilst I was counting.

Slight rubber banding with specific players joining instance in Azeban City. Appeared to settle down after approximately five seconds. Docking Computer had a nervous breakdown and wasn't able to manoeuvre my ship to the entrance. Had to switch it off and dock manually. It was doing this before in the previous build when other players were sharing the instance.

Solo online=flawless. None of the issues above present, including no delays when hyperspace or supercruise was engaged.

One thing I didn't try was whether the logout exploit is still present. I don't think it's mentioned in the bug fix list so it's probably still there. I'm away from my main machine now so maybe someone else could feed back on this. That's the number one fix I really want to see sorted.
 
This update appears to have reset my controls, now getting Saitek X52 Pro instead of custom and if I try to use a previous backup it still shows as Saitek X52 Pro.

Is this normal behavior for each update, if not must be something going on my end?

Also took a long time to quit, had to C+A+D in the end.

Cheers!
 
Gonna have to agree that this update seems to have upset the stability on the game since I updated.

1. Taking 5-8 minutes to exit supercruise
2. Space stations refusing to let me dock. Sometimes they do not even acknowledge the request. Sometimes it times out immediately and sometimes I hear a voice saying warning...
3. Multiple crashes were I have had to kill the process

I have been playing 1.04 today for the first time (holiday) and I find it much less stable than 1.03. The game has locked three times in an hour trying to hyperspace to Aulin and the exit from supercruise delay (I think this is the islands issue) still takes around a minute of juddering. The ups and downs of software development I guess.

I've also had numerous 'could not connect to server' snags. I'm on 50M cable BB so I don't think it's my ISP or connection.

Yep, I'm suffering from all of them. Taking a break and will try later :-(
