Uh-huh - they never claimed to have fixed that, so .. they haven't fixed it https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/141
Patch Notes Update April Update - Patch 2
- Thread starter Will Flanagan
- Start date
wrong literals is no unautomatable gameplay test and every single release is littered with them. just to cite an example. there is ample evidence (5 years of it) that frontier either doesn't test or does so with abysmal standards which amounts to no testing. also, if you had kept up with technology you would be surprised as to what can be automated today. and that's before you even mention specific problems that can only be reproduced in production (player behavior, concurrency or networking issues, obscure device incompatibilites, etc) which probably don't make the 0.28% of defects.
that's a quite thin skin, my apologies if needed and thanks for the correction. unlike others i usually only have to be told once (ymmv!
)
Nope it's Patch 2 on the April update.
<grumble> Why it can't just be 3.4.2 I don't know, kids these days </grumble>
Should I add some salt to the soup and say, that a developer, who relies on tests, is not a professional developer?wrong literals is no unautomatable gameplay test and every single release is littered with them. just to cite an example. there is ample evidence (5 years of it) that frontier either doesn't test or does so with abysmal standards which amounts to no testing. also, if you had kept up with technology you would be surprised as to what can be automated today. and that's before you even mention specific problems that can only be reproduced in production (player behavior, concurrency or networking issues, obscure device incompatibilites, etc) which probably don't make the 0.28% of defects.

Wow. So wrong it'sShould I add some salt to the soup and say, that a developer, who relies on tests, is not a professional developer?
- yes, triple facepalm.I didn't say, tests are not necessary...Wow. So wrong it's
I've just scanned about 30 systems with the FSS, no problems.
However FSS 'hotspots' with many signals (about 10 in the same screenspace) gives me a bit of lag - down to under 50 FPS using a 1060 GPU.
This is not a new issue for me though, can't remember exactly when it started or if it has always beem like that.

Yes, I agree. But in my opinion it has always been this way.

dunno, do you work at frontier?
it is impossible to develop anything useful without side effects: there are your tests. they've been around since the abacus, just in a chaotic, ad-hoc and primitive way.
since then we have learned that testing is an essential part of software engineering and have developed methods and technology to make it so. a today's professional developer is not only expected to test, but to write and design easily testable components and to automate and document the full circus of it. tests are no good if they are costly to run, so they absolutely have to be automated. the test plans, runs and reports are often an integral part of the delivery.
In this patch, we haven't made any additional adjustments to the (re)spawn rate of High Grade Emissions.
You're right, testing is an essential part. But not the main part. You can not test every input constellation or environment of a program. You simply can't. A developer has to foresee certain things and has to develop code, that is robust in many ways. Trial and error is not the way to do it. So, don't get me wrong, I emphasize only the fact, that you can build a stable software without tests but not without stable code.dunno, do you work at frontier?

Although a abacus might be possible
Unfortunately or fortunate maybe that i cannot reproduce the zoom bug again since relogging.
I reckon 'higher prices' is rather an understatement. Not $40, right, more like $4000 or $40000, right? So there you have your answer.
What kind of answer? That less copies*higher price is totally different to many copies*lower price? Or that a company, which sells products, which costs less than (lets' say) $40000 has more freedom in reacting to product issues?
Anybody else missing Corroded Paint Jobs?

Corroded Paint Job not showing after latest update
After the latest April Patch 2 update today my Cobra III is not showing it's corroded paint, it's just showing a plain white surface. Is anybody else getting this? EDIT: After the September 2019 update this appears to be fixed! Selecting other paint jobs work as normal, it's just the...
I am sorry but I have not seen this update. I use Steam and it has not updated the game to April Patch 2. Perhaps things are bit slow at Steam
I there something wrong!?!
I there something wrong!?!
I use Steam as well. Was no problem. Went online and the new Version was ready to download (manual).
Edit: But the launcher still says 'Patch 1'. Seems to be only the launcher text.
Have you tried playing the game? If you can play then it must have updated, because you can't play without the update.
It's an update in May .... we had an update in April, now one in May .... There's no need to be picky calling it a "patch"
(EDIT in case people don't pick up on the self-referring sarcasm, I'm being picky calling it a May update when it is really a patch on the April Update)
