I still can't play the game. Can't connect to server via START, so no solo, private group or open play for me.
However, there's something else that troubles me. I decided to do some dogfighting in the tutorials... Is it just me or did the mouse controls changed significantly? I'ma keyboard/mouse guy (i don't feel like spending $100 bucks for a Saitek X52) and before Beta 2, i could control my ship just fine.
Now, a sidewinder handles like an Anaconda, slow and sluggish. Turn rate is awfully slow, roll is either too slow or way too sensible (depending on mouse sensitivity setting).
I had plenty of kill before, vs NPCs and Players and now I find myself unable to kill a single Cobra? The way it is, the game is unplayable for me, i have to shuffle my mouse 20 times, just to make third of a loop.

Well, at least the gamepad controlls better, i have found.

Yeah all that thanking from work without even seeing what happened :p

And yeah, so far it didn't fix anything noticable, because playing it is still impossible.

Right now I am connected to the Server, then I Chose start, and open Play, got the loading Screen and then the disconnected error back to main menu.

There now I am stuck with Server: xxx but no unconnected but my start button stays red out.

It is nice that so many things get fixed, we cannot see, but it would be aweseome if the start/connect Problems would get fixed as well, so we can actually see the cool stuff :p

Does anyone have 2.02 running? I have been through the tutorials in case I missed something. Controls on yaw are much punchier. Turned off AA and am getting a decent frame rate in 1920x1080

I've got the same as some posters above. Freeze on the menu screen, start is red and the server is reporting as [unconnected]. Have to kill it with task manager.

Hanging while handshaking a connection?

This has been my world since 2.am last night.
This issue needs to be sorted as a priority over sorting out all the inconsequential fluff addressed in 2.02. :mad:

Updated for 2.02, was just about to post this in the 2.01 thread when it was closed.

Installation: I completely scrubbed "Frontier Developments" and "Frontier_Developments" folders, ran the new launcher, and did a clean download.

  • First I did the 5 flight training missions, no problems.
  • Then I tried Open Play
  • CH Products Pro Throttle mini joystick on vert/lat thrust doesn't let you pass preflight checks (ticketed)
  • The current tab on the right hand UI panel is empty each time the panel opens - you have to go left or right a tab and back for it to draw the contents.
  • FIXED 2.02 <strikethru>Like everyone else, I don't see any stars in online play, just an overly bright background galaxy. Stars are visible in the tutorial system.</strikethru>
  • Gamma seems a lot brighter than premium beta/standard beta, even when the graphics/gamma slider is at minimum
  • I had two disconnects from server, once whilst browsing the UI panels in the outpost, once while the 'could not get bulletin board list from server, timed out' dialog was showing (see below). After this, the 'Start' online play button stayed red and would not enable again even after visiting other submenus or playing tutorials.
  • On two attempts to connect to Open play I got a "could not connect to server" that trying again fixed.
  • Head tracking via EDTracker+OpenTrack is working great, as are other controls
  • Haven't tried to frameshift or hyperspace yet.
  • Eranin outpost is very grey. Perhaps it should be called Major's Outpost?
  • Tried to access the bulletin boards at Eranin outpost in 2.02, got a timeout dialog, shortly thereafter I was dumped from the game with a server disconnect.
  • Have to force quit to get out of the game, Quit just turns the game display black.

I didn't see starfield, and galaxy was in wrong place, 2.01 and 2.02 fixed this for me.

As for network issues, they always take more time to figure out what's wrong. If someone has planned to play straight after beta major release, well....test it away :)

I've played a bit with my hotas and it looked fine so far. Yeah it's a bit more sluggish and slow but the Sidewinder simply IS a really bad ship.

BTW: You don't need to spent 100$, I use the Thrustmaster X for ~35$. Works fine.

Slightly less Fail - but still Fail...

Slightly less Fail - but still Fail...

Rebooted, restarted, menu did not freeze. But did not connect to a server. Then Menu freeze.

I am seeing no improvement. Cannot connect to the server. Cannot close the program without using Task Manager.

ED crashes as soon as the splash screen vanishes and the main menu appears. Just freezes outright.

Can't even get to the Online/Solo menus in 2.02...

This is exactly the same for me.
