TBH as far as updates go I have to agree that's it's not that bad. The game has been playable and the new bugs are avoidable. That's just my experience though.I switched to Horizons today - bought some of the new multi-limpets, configured the firegroups - all worked fine. From looking at the forums I was expecting crashes and outrage. Almost like people are over-egging the problems
Edit: Though all the S&R USS are empty so far, so it is a bit broken![]()
the game is now less buggy than it was in early 2015
Anybody can find bug, it's nothing to brag about. FDev are the ones doing the hard work fixing them. Not us, the players, come on ...This forum never disappoints.
I see it's the players who are actively looking for bugs and it's actually their fault when they find some. Not FDev's fault for selling us a broken buggy mess based on misinformation. No, it's the players.
The honest truth is that ED is a buggy mess and I'm afraid it will remain so.
The only players that are to blame are those who silently accept these patches full of bugs and are even telling off others when they dare to point this out.

"Why every patch brings more bugs than fixes?" - it doesn't though.I dont understand that. Really after every patch come swarm of bugs. Devs dont test it? Or what is wrong? I see no fixes. Perfomance is still horrible. Even after last update textures are worse. Dont work or new adds when the game is still broken. Fix it firts,then you can work on additional content.
Yes, that's exactly my point. We shouldn't be used to it.Just most people here are used to it,
Pointing a bug is good, but mindlessly complaining about it is not.And when someone points this out in the forums there are people ready to jump in and ridicule the OP
Complaints are good, they make FDev aware there is still heaps of work to do. I'm sure they are aware of it themselves.Pointing a bug is good, but mindlessly complaining about it is not.
That's a weird response I have to say. No, finding bugs isn't something to brag about, and I don't see anyone here (including the post you quoted) said so.Anybody can find bug, it's nothing to brag about. FDev are the ones doing the hard work fixing them. Not us, the players, come on ...
The team at FDev is obviously already overwhelmed because they underestimated the amount of work. Now your solution is to add more pressure by constantly reminding them of this. That's going against all management and industrial good practices.Complaints are good, they make FDev aware there is still heaps of work to do.
You guys don't find bugs, you just write about them in dedicated thread. Most of those problems are already known by everyone who plays the game. If you want to be useful, you should work with the bug tracker :No, finding bugs isn't something to brag about

Well, it's just small-scale fallout of the large-scale breakage that is the Odyssey release.I dont understand that. Really after every patch come swarm of bugs. Devs dont test it? Or what is wrong?

GFX quality and performance went down the drain with Odyssey - how can you make a game worse looking and at the same time floor the performance? Just compare this mess to other current titles - and yes, both development time and price justify judging Odyssey against other current releases.
Instead of the much anticipated modernisation / refresh EDO turned out to be a bug-ridden Alpha release (specced down since the actual public Alpha was unplayable even on high end systems). Each "update" turned out to be bug-whack-a-mole. Slowly, update-for-update, the breakage is creeping into Horizons, too. Frontier Developments seems in over their heads - it's not going to be better, just broken in a different way. EDO really is becoming Goat Simulator in space (except GS has better-looking atmospheric planets). The physics are nice, but it's mainly played for the ridiculousness of it all.
The "team" at FDev took my 47 Euros pre-Alpha (which in hindsight wasn't an Alpha at all - none of the bugs that got raised then got squashed in the live release, it was just a paid-for early access version).The team at FDev is obviously already overwhelmed because they underestimated the amount of work.

Two points. a) I'm not working for FDev as their QA worker bee and b) If they want me to volunteer (for free - but my time is precious) with beta testing, they should make this as simple as possible instead of introducing a system like the issue tracker - the only beneficiary of this system is really FDev because it places the onus of putting in the effort both in terms of reporting but then also pushing it through the various hoops of the system on the customer i.e. us. I'm refusing to take part in such a cynical exercise - how many genuine and severe enough issues expired because they were spread across multiple duplicates etc.?You guys don't find bugs, you just write about them in dedicated thread.

Report issues using the Issue Tracker
Greetings Commanders! We are now excited to launch our new Issue Tracker! The Issue Tracker replaces our Bug Reporting forums and can be accessed here: https://issues.frontierstore.net/ To report a bug simply log in with your regular Frontier account and click 'Submit Report'. You'll then be...forums.frontier.co.uk
Or you rightly complain that they shouldn't be there in the first place.But, its par for the course with FD updates, and either you live with it or rage quit.
