ANNOUNCEMENT September Update out now!
Game is full of bugs on PC since today, all of my codex data has gone as well as all of my player stats. great.
Least you were all lucky enough to get past the loading screen, orange sidewinder is all the rage.
So FDev... why did you decide to launch this update without testing any of it... at all... even once? Bugs in updates are to be expected, especially with Elite (you have conditioned the expectations of the player base well), but this is pure lack of effort in the quality control dept.
I'm in the Saas biz, and if I pushed out an update like this I'd be out of business before the end of the day. This should be rather embarrassing for you. I'm embarrassed for you. Definitely amateur day at Frontier.

I've worked in software development, retired now, and it's rediculous what game devs get away with.
If my team or I would've come up with such an untested bug invested update we definitely had something to answer for.
It happened to me once that I accidentally sent out the wrong version after several fixes towards the customer, well let's just say nobody was very pleased.
It made me check things over twice as many times before releasing an update.
This update clearly wasn't tested properly, but then again that's the case of almost all ED updates.
It's just embarrassing though that with each update a number of bugs never get fixed, they just pile up.
By now there are so many that it's probably to expensive and time consuming to fix them.
Bug fixes don't add to the profit like add ons do, unless players start to leave or the product gets known for it's poor quality and consumers stop buying it altogether.
Imho it's incredible sloppy and disrespectfull to the costumers.
Funny how quick the new store was fixed no?
Although it's still not possible to buy arx on Xbox, will be fixed much sooner then any other bug though.
I'll probably be updating after work.
Did anyone need to redo their keybindings? Just want to know if I should bother backing mine up first.
Thanks.

Thanks.
You didn't think the "spend money" feature would stay broken that long did ya?
This is kind of weak. But it's been done by the Game Makers for decades. Hype the stuffing out of a title, push it out early, let the player base find the bugs. Everyone at Fdev is off to the Pub. I expect that from EA/Dice or Activision. It appears someone from there is now onboard at Fdev.The best thing to do now is to shut down the servers and resolve this mess as quickly as possible.
Where are the Frontier testers???
How do they release an update without testing it???
Thanks, I'll check that out.
Still not using the remote workshop!
Have to force quit the game as can't exit it
Thanks, I'll check that out.
Only just got to reading this thread (you're up early!
).Looks like we have issues, then. I'll check out the damage a bit later
Yeh, me too.
If that is the case then it underlines the importance of a "Database Abstraction Layer" where the code does not access any tables but accesses either views or stored procedures. Then those in use do not get altered even when/if the table changes but new ones are created for usage in new places within the code.
yes, you can end up with a lot of similar ones, but, let's face it, the storage for those is minimal and a naming convention deals with managing them.
It would appear there's an issue with BGS - There was a tick it looks like post update.. but it doesn't seem to have done conflict updates.
