ANNOUNCEMENT September Update out now!

{Bug Report}
  • New store won't accept mouse buttons (minor)
  • Remote Engineering is broke. Selecting a module results in no overview or a broken one after which the client hangs and a relog is required (Major)
 
Are the servers down?
Keep getting a message on my PS4 'The game failed to connect to the authentication server.'

I’m on PC but couldn’t get the download to work, launcher window disappeared everytime I tried. Had to go into the FD store, log into my account, look up my downloads & download the launcher from there. Then it downloaded the games files update!

So far I've read about:
  • 'black adder' error
  • stored modules missing their engineering
I've seen for myself:
  • Livery screen broken due to missing icons and/or missing items ( ie not all paintjobs shown - including not showing the one the ship currently has ! )
  • Store is missing lots of paintjobs etc
  • Store link to buy arx takes you to a missing web site
  • Codex all stats for commander are missing
  • The screenshot of guy with 2 lots of Thrusters fitted!
And we've only had the update for an hour or so.
Considering the update is pretty small in terms of features:
  • new livery, broken
  • new store, broken
  • chevrons on the speed gauge, working
  • new training simulation, working
Not exactly an impressive update :(

So appearently Will responded to someone else with:
Some Game Extras may not yet be available for purchase in the Store, affected items will be rolling back out in the coming days.

Please note that the Store is currently offline.
So they knew there were missing items and the Store is offline but they did the release anyway without telling us - maybe they thought no one would notice :(

Frontier Points
  • When logging in after the September Update is released, any outstanding Frontier Point balance will be converted into ARX with the following transfer rate (based on the best value ARX package): 1 Frontier Point = 20 ARX
  • Commanders will also receive an email about this conversion.

workng as intended? i gues not ;-) tell us where to send donats and coffee long night. Acrucuate your work
 
As suggested by Elite Dangerous on twitter, who said this was just a visual bug. i replaced my power plant with one from storage, it appeared that the engineered upgrade was present. I then put my original one back on, and went out to do some mining. As soon as i went to launch my pulse wave scanner, my power exceeded. And looking in modules i see NO engineered upgrade present on my power plant, also when i go to remote workshop and click on my power plant, it appears as if no engineering has been done on it, please see pics

Also, the stations appearance on the hud are NOT facing the correct direction. Bass Terminal in Oitbi

OK, so I need to say that this update techically seems is the best which was roled out. No jokes, I also had bug in mining, but overal game performance, look and movement is super smooth ... for a patch day it's like a miracle.

I especially want thank to these people which did some changes to lighting and HUD appearance ... its SHARP again! ... I was so disappointed with it after previous update and now it looks good again and this also close to suns. Lighting overally seems was improved and it is again a joy to fly.

Thanks and finger crossed to quickly repair found small issues.

Was about to post about the new store being non functional. I see others have already stated it. I look forward to seeing it once they get all the kinks worked out.
but for the sake of continuity:
clicking store page at title screen brings up a dead webpage out of game
clicking store icon ingame brings up store page but all buttons seem to be non functional, cannot navigate pages or tabs/buttons.

did one combat mission, not sure if I earned anything for that time played or not. There is no indication of what can earn arx and no change to arx currently shown on client. Uncertain if this is because of store page problems at this point or because I did not play enough time. More information on how to earn arx would be very beneficial to everyone.
 
Same here. It seems like Ground Hog Day. Reinstalled the game on ps4 and sitting and waiting. Why is everything so f..ing complicated nowadays. In the past you bought a b..dy dvd and it worked fine. Now you rely on some geeks for an b..dy update and afterwards nothing works. Awful... probably not allowed what I wanted to say.
 
Lost engineering on modules CONFIRMED.

Will: About 80% of the engineering mods to my stored modules has disappeared. The modules are there, but they are missing their engineering modifications. The modules mounted on the ships themselves seem unaffected.
I’ll second this report
 
Get your act together frontier. It is bad enough that we have to deal with loads of other problems like no decent joystick for the game on ps4 or the use of an keyboard... but this latest crap!!!!
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but there may be an issue with outfitting new ships.

Essentially, I just bought a new ship, changed most of the modules, and then checked the modules in the side panel.
Most obvious issue is I sold all the weapons, so the hard points are empty ... but in the side panel weapons are shown

Video showing problem
Video should be available just over an hour after posting this message

{edit}Looks like the RHS panel is showing modules for the ship I just put in store, not the current ship{/edit}

Well, all my stored engineered modules are no longer engineered. So when does this little gift get fixed?
