Um, ten too many hours there? From Sidewinder to Anaconda in less than 14 hours
Patch Notes September Update - Patch 1
- Thread starter Will Flanagan
- Start date
No rookie player can do it in 14 hours
Unless they find and closely follow that video. (Prior HOTAS experience may help).
Really, how? I’ve sent well worded email after email and no replies? FDEV get so much animosity because they stick their head in the sand, ignore everyone and tell us absolutely nothing then every 4/6 months they expect us to get excited about an update that benefits only new players and we all know they will break the game again!
Zero communication regarding the update next year, we could almost be forgiven for thinking it’s nit happening anymore!
If they communicated more people would be far more understanding!
No they would not. Rude and crude is all some people know.
Relating problems as you see them is well done. Insults, name calling and pointing fingers is the first response of the clueless and less intelligent.
And BTW. I don't want to know what's coming down the pike.
Installed the Patch this afternoon. Still cannot play game. I have a PPPoE DSL connection I have played ED for 4-1/2 years without any connectivity issues whatsoever with the FD servers. Then this vaunted September Update comes down, then the first patch, an I still cannot connect to the FD servers without "Unable to initialize network. Please check your connection". Does not FD do any beta-testing before buggy software such as this is released? Really disappointed in FD for this poor quality update so we can have this ARX make believe currency. I do not care about ARX if it keeps me from accessing my game and play the game. I play ED on an engineering WS with Win 7 64-bit. FDev ought ensure ED continues to work on the legacy platforms (PC's) it was popularized on. I checked the internet security on my rig and all ED executable are trusted with standard firewall permissions. And nothing has changed with my PPPoE DSL network connection. What has changed is how ED communicates with the FD servers. FIX THIS -- Restore what once worked right and reliably. Normally I am patient over 4 1/2 years of ED gaming with update bugs. But this is so egregious that this is the second time (since 2017 with the Galaxy Map mouse selection problem) I have posted a complaint about quality of the game.

Mine, too.
Seem to recall something about Options / Network having new settings to fiddle with...
[Edit: Found in the original patch notes thread:]

So... almost a week after patch, game is still non-functional.
Yes, my networking does not have most standard setup possible, but it was working before and other things work too.
This looks more like self-sabotage to me than anything else, people cannot spend money in new shiny store if they cannot even login into the game.

Where can I see a list of these error codes to disconnections?
They are aware without the constant moaning. It doesn't achieve anything.
Not you personally, but it all adds up with the rest. It's doesn't help and it's not going to help Fdev.
That's fine, but their is complaining and complaining for the sake of it.
Agreed
The stacking has been very gradual, but again this is the same with most games. It's unavoidable if we want a game to continue to evolve. When development slows or stops, many more bugs will be fixed. It's not worth the effort complaining about something that is inevitable.
Heard about "Black Adder" and "Red Krait", there's others, apparently. Didn't see a list.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the jumps countdown bug, (showed garbled text in left mfd when it reached one) that was introduced in the April update has actually been fixed and now works fine. No mention of this in the list of fixed bugs for this patch. Odd, but well done FD for fixing this, was driving me mad.
34th century problems...
That was in the September update patch notes
Missed that, just read through the patch notes again, thanks for pointing it out. That was a big positive for me at least, don't know why that bug irritated me so much. One less thing to worry about
Mission Board and Passengers Lounge are still broken, on PS4. Worldwide.
Guys, when do you think of solving this very serious problem that is KILLing all our BGS?

It is currently my experience that the problem of not being able to connect via VPN is most certainly NOT fixed. (Nord, PC, UK to any)
