100%, I agreed.
i got a big patch last night, seems like im downloading the same patch again... also had a windows 10 update last night so wondering if that created a save point and once it updated it reverted back to that and wiped out my update to elite (pc)
ED will always update you to the latest patch/version/whatever in one go, no matter which version you start from. That latest version should be (haven't checked myself yet) the "January Update Patch 1" on PC, "January Update" (no patch yet) on consoles. If you're unlucky, you'll just end up downloading all of the game again.
And yes, the January update happened yesterday, the January Update Patch 1 happened today. No need to blame Windows on this, you got two updates.
I just 'nipped' out to do a little exploring about 1KLy away from base, did perhaps 12 jumps overall and 4 'first' discoveries. Geo likelyhood was instant with standard (for me) 6 secs to full resolve.
Explorers get more love in the update as that little jaunt earned 10 Arx... Another 14 for selling the 2.5 million in data.
Patch looks good - very smooth.

No, updating consoles is a true PITA thanks to having to go through Microsoft & Sony's approval process every time.
The main thing is to arrive at the right destination.Salty.... yummy!
Try blaming Microsoft / Sony for their QC... hope you enjoy your back seat on the bus
This. I remember the whole PS3 debacle when Buyrim came out and people were going to burn down Beth's HQ if they didn't get their game patched the same as PC and Xbox.
Thank you FDev, the stutter is gone, I can continue exploring!
And I really love the asteroid field consolidation in the FSS!

OK. Looks like the stutter bug was partially fixed
I'm in the Formidine Rift, pottling around. Everything's been silky smooth - bug fixed yay.
Except I've just jumped into Hypo Ail OB-W c15-1, and immediately noticed the same stuttering as went on yesterday. Sure enough, I scanned a few landables with volcanism, and the GEO PoI's count came up immediately. This system was previously scanned by another CMDR and the data handed in.
The game is still calculating PoI's for star systems which have been previously scanned.

Thank you very much, todays experience in the game was a blast with no issues so far.
Thirded. Well done. My PC flight graphics are now just as smooth as they were before. Thank you.
Did you also decide whether or not you are going to put the numbers back on POI sites (geo1, geo2 etc.)? That was so useful; it would be a shame to not have it. Of course, you may have already done it but i haven't checked.

Hmm...
The fix for the stutter (which tried to generate almost every landable Planet at once it seems) upon System entry is gone. Good.
However, getting Resolution (Refining Scan) on Bodies with Geologicals now easily seems to take ~3x to 4x as long as it did in 2019 with the original FSS (?)
Was just waiting ~90 Seconds for a 2100km Body to display 5 Sites.
Could it be that the fix was a tad "too aggressive"?
Either way, even tagging multiple bodies after another doesn't produce any unstable FPS anymore on my side... so for what it's worth, it's silk smooth.

Or simply use something like YYYYMM.xx format.
fdev has confused the word beta from "market sampling" from day 1. There has always been more changes that occur after a "beta" period that inevitably end up creating new bugs that didn't exist before (on top of the ones that were identified and not fixed).
Beta's in this game are all about getting a feeling for how the player base is going to respond to certain new changes. It's never been about what you generally term "beta" in the general software world.

Give 'em a few days and a couple of calls to rad game tools support and we shall be fine.
So much salt over a game oy
Because based on feedback from the beta a tweak was made to the FSS mechanic - but that was not released as a second beta (which in hindsight would have been a safer thing to do). Cest la vie... nobody died
I gave up on Xbox today any type of flying and it's stuttering enough for me to stop playing I managed an hour only before giving up . It's was playable yesterday but today nope definitely gotten worse . And also bug tracker has a bug where you can't put reproduction steps in .
Looks like my family are stuck with me socialising til next week when our patch comes out .
