OK, I've been on the spinning sidey for 20 minutes now.
How long do I wait before giving it up as hopeless?

Check your elte dangerous executable is in your windows firewall list of allowed programs, not the elite launcher, but the .exe file
Alright then. I hope it turns out well and give you all my hopes and wishes to get this working right, you can do it
All I want is chilling out in teamspeak and play elite at the same time

When I go into ship repairs or outfitting my Viper no longer gets taken into the station. It just sits on the surface. Is this meant to happen or is it a bug? Also having the old forced to dock backwards bug and lots of jitters entering and leaving hyperspace and supercruise.

Could we have any indication on when offline play will be available?
Probably never. Or was it confirmed somewhere?
It is confirmed feature for ED first release. Most likely will come out with gamma release.

Thanks Michael,
What about
- Concerns on player upload bandwidth requirements?
- Some ISP alleged limitations on p2p traffic?
- Cheating openings as p2p is not server controlled?
where are the update notes ?

1.06 just fixed an issue that came with 1.05 where people with Cobras could play the game.
Thx Tinman !
Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I see this: you, the client, are joining or exiting an island (reaching/leaving a station for example), so you send the info to the server which process the request. You're put on hold while the server do its job. If the island is congested, the server may have a hard time compute all the simultaneous requests that could bring the freeze effect on the client side.
Hence the fact that freezes occur more in Eranin, Dahan, Freeport and major points of interest, and there's barely no interruption in remote systems, as if you were playing solo.
Well...we don't actually know for sure if it is the "netcode" that is freezing the game do we? It could just as easily be something else. Freezes and crashes could look like it is the same thing while in reality it happens for a number of different reasons.
But why do it "only" happen when online then?
Well, because it could be some other code, physics for example, that when interacting with the "netcode" creates some interesting results that results in a crash/freeze. Each part in it self might be fine, but when they interact in a certain way something misfires...
As long as they keep on adding major new features to the game there will always be new bugs introduced. Old onces might have been dealt with, but new code might create new ones that to us users gives a similar symptom (AKA crash/freeze).
We saw something like this even now in 1.05...some people couldn't go online and therefore instantly blamed the "netcode"/servers. In reality it was due to them having a Cobra and due to changes in that model a bug snuck in which crashed the game as soon the tried to go online.
Edit: I assumed with this post you referred to a hard freeze...as in the game locking up completely.
Yes...extra important to ticket these with as much detail as possible then. However, it does seem like this is a known bug when reading the list on the support page...
Most likely your ISP is imposing heavy throttling on anything hosted on Amazon's Cloud Computing servers.
