Update 16 Deployment + Release Notes

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
After update 16, the voices of my FC's crew have all changed (genomics, pioneer supplies, the bartender).
Couldn't find anything related to 'voice' in the notes or this thread.

The voices used to be quite varied, British, American, Aussie, South African, etc.
Now they're all British, and based on my subjective ears, the sound quality is also lower.
Was there a possible licensing issue with the voices and they had to be replaced? TIA.

For the brief amount of time I was able to actually log in and play I noticed that as well, but strangely mine are American now.
Was a shock when I wandered into genomics and the ever cheerful and welcoming* bod didn't speak to me in her Irish accent.
Thought I'd ended up on the wrong carrier for a moment.

*Grumpy as hell.
She's still grumpy but now in American.

My old genomics was a kindly dude with an Afrikaner accent. Was always soothing to visit him after an exploration run.
Now he's got a Cockney accent that is neither kindly nor soothing, like a London constable ticketing me for speeding and giving me a lecture.
 
Just saying that right now I found something what was mentioned in Cannon discord ... it really is worth explore a bit. ... do not forget add DSC on your ship, may come handy :)

... and if you will take back some of poor unlucky pilots in escape pods, be ready for surprises on your way back.

I have 5.
Because I can't be bothered to change modules, so I buy one every time I need to try a new build.

Talk about laziness. :LOL:

On the flip side, I like to go through the mailslot FA Off every now and again. Definitely less risky than using auto dock!
I'm the laziest of you all, because I fly an Imperial Courier with a docking computer. And in the last two days, something incredible happened - that such a small, fast and agile boat got entangled in some structure when leaving the station. I couldn't believe it. I took the controls in my hands and went out at 600 m/s.
I was beginning to think they were doing it on purpose.
 
Was anything changed around mission boards? Nothing in the patch notes but, ever since the update missions aren't refreshing nearly as often or as much. It adds about 2 or 3 missions now as oppose to the multiple more it was refreshing before the update. Makes grinding Robigo etc impossible unless you wait 10-20 minutes between trips. Thought it might be the BGS but server tick hadn't even happened until Thursday.
 
Tried again, leaving the spinny thingy to do its thing for approx 10 minutes, still not going anywhere.
And after skimming through previous comments it seems that other Cmdrs are able to play OK.
This is getting really annoying now.
If you know how, you might want to check if you are suffering with IP fragmentation - I have found that if your route to the AWS is being badly fragmented, then the game is not exctly stable. I know that when my MTU size on the route is less than the MTU size that ED is trying to use, then ED definitely struggles.

Why the game is so unstable when IP fragmentation has been a solved problem since the IP protocol was invented in the 1960s is beyond me.
 
Sally, please pass on the following positive feedback to the team about some Update 16 content which I'll put into spoiler tags to hide from those CMDRs that don't want to be spoiled.

I love the new Thargoid Barnacle Matrix sites. The sound, atmosphere and ground shaking is awesome. So creepy with the foreboding of what is happening there. The team have done a great job. I also love the Dedicant logs, so well done and very scary thinking about what could have happened.

Thank you Frontier!
