Cheers Fdev, big update followed by information on more patches/bug fixes, hopefully this will keep the salty folk quiet (probably not!)
ANNOUNCEMENT January Update - Patch 1 Announcement
- Thread starter Paige Harvey
- Start date
After reading the patch notes again, I think that's not what was meant at all. It's saying that prices will vary with demand, right? Maybe at the BGS tick? Has anyone seen it happen?
Usually that's because it's impossible. You can't perfectly simulate the load and such of live release, and this went through inner testing, beta and more testing and nothing seems to have found it.
Perfectly? Of course not. But you'd think by now they'd realise there's evidently a problem in their load testing not being fit for purpose and that it needs drastic improvement to stop this recurring problem continuing.
You know.... That's actually pretty impressive!
A bit early to see differences on this. Most players will have mined and cashed in before the update, so there will be a pause while they mine again and look for markets. But some of the later posts in this thread may be what you are looking for.
Any news on the cz bars disappearing ?? So you can't win a cz ??
I agree with you, and they're very often very obvious bugs too.
Thank you very much for the quick reaction.
As I'm currently surveying brown dwarf systems (lots of jumps in a very quick succession), the current state is quite annoying. It seems to scale with the amount of planets in the system, and seemingly does not occur on hyperspace exit for systems with just stars and no planets in them.
Looking forward to tomorrow's patch!

This will be very welcome to VR users in particular.
Er, since there's a patch coming, maybe someone could add a line or two to write the GEO/BIO POI information to the player logfile with the other scan info?...
All fine and dandy, but when you release an update that has the sole purpose of fixing bugs - when you postpone content update to release this bug fixing patch - not to mention beta that was supposed to catch any issues that might arise during the fixing...
...then it's just depressing to see you create almost as many new bugs as you've managed to fix.
I'm seriously afraid that tomorrow patch to that Update will be no different. Something is seriously wrong with the proces of doing things you have out there Fdev.

Yes, for VR this patch is absolutely necessary.
Seconded on the player journal request. The info is actually already being written but the trigger to write the data differs from in-game. Currently, the player journal writes this data only after mapping the body (which differs from the in-game UI where the info is available after scanning the body).
I read it as "prices will vary with supply". As in, everyone goes selling to a station with high prices, prices there will crash.
I don't mean to be sour but I have to agree. Why was there a beta then? Why so much time between it and now? How much coding was done after? Why are there MAJOR near game breaking issues with every patch? Yes, I'm glad they are working on it quickly but these issues should be caught BEFORE the patch goes live, especially given how relatively tiny this update was. We waited 6 months for this where this is what many other games would release on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
Hope it is fixed soon just don't understand why this has to have with every single update we ever get pretty much without fail.
Why is does it seem everything is "Good Enough" prior to release even with some beta testing?
What happened to "No Points for Second Place" ?
I don't understand why they don't just leave well enough alone until The Next Era, instead of creating new problems. The paranoid side of me says these new problems are a distraction to divert our attention away from something else. .
I guess they deserve a participating plaque or trophy for being a team member.
