Patch Notes Update Beta 2.01 available now

[Mucka]

Thanks for keeping us informed and all your hard work Devs.
Fingers crossed next patch has people up and running at least.
Hopefully there will be a fix for the contrast/brightness/shadow issues etc as well as that seems to be pretty much universal too.

Can a Mod or any of the devs confirm if the no stars was intended or a bug?

Seriously??????

Yes we are now going to have a space game with no stars ....

 

[WoenK]

great...they push a new fix and suddenly I could stay in for over 5 Minutes
Sounds too me like the servers can not handle the load

 

[The Weasel]

Great to hear - failed one mission due to time delay - not flying but connecting - played 3 short sessions <5 mins each - I ahve the graphics issue as many do, but keep getting random either [start] or old version.

 

[Meritz]

Big thanks to the team for their hard work!

 

[Smugallo]

Wow quick patch turnover guys!!

On my system i notices that ED no longer uses UPNP in my router.
So, i enabled port forwarding, entered that port into the appconfig.xml
(\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002) and now everything works.

what ports exactly you writin in the appconfig.xml ?

thanks in advance

I'm completely stunned by the level of work the devs and the rest of the team are putting into this at the moment.
I know we don't get to see a lot of the inner workings but given the updates thus far I reckon that some of the team have probably not been out of the office for close on 48 hours.
Possibly more.

Devs, is there anything we can get you or have sent to you ?

Update - the team is still plugging away. A new thread will be posted in just a moment detailing the next update. It's on its way! Should fix the majority of problems with B2.01.

Thanks for the info, and keep up the great work. Hopefully 2.02 will allow so many of us to get past the "black screen of death".

 

[Tony H.]

Maybe what they say is the "black screen of death", is a black hole!!

Im curious as well. Since my router doesnt play nice at all port forwarding maybe needed. Found an old guide in the forums for alpha 2.0. Not sure if its still the one to follow.

I just randomly chose 5650 and enabled UDP forwarding for this port in my router to my pc.
However, ingame seems unresponsive as hell. Im currently sitting in docking bay and cant do anything.

Going to end this here... Best to wait for 2.02

EDIT: Detailed Instruction if you guys wanna test it.


appconfig.xml

<Network
Port="5650"
LogFile="netLog"
DatestampLog="1"
>

In router set up a UDP port forwarded to your computers ip, also good to set up an static local ip for your machine.

I will not give more advice on how to set up router port forwarding as there are 1000 of different routers out there youll have to figure it out at some points im afraid.

Don't worry it's a bug. It's somehow linked to the galaxy map issues. If you can see the stars at night from Earth through the atmosephere, there is really no reason, artistic or technical, for which you should not be able to see even more stars from space

I really feel for you guys. You must not remember what your own beds look like.

Anyway, we all really appreciate the effort. You'll have 2.02 out before I've even had a chance to play once!

 

[RobFisher]

I haven't had time to even try to play yet. You've got an hour or so to fix the bugs in time for me to load the game up for the first time!

 

[Aki_Stratego]

Hopefully 2.02 will allow so many of us to get past the "black screen of death".

Or won't throw us outside galaxy during hyperspace jump, just into Twillight Zone.

Spoiler
