Patch Notes Update 1.4.01 update

[Zac Antonaci]

Jeez Zac, what are you doing in the office at 9 in the evening? Go home
Anyone would think you guys are in crunch time or something...

Thanks Z-man

I am at home K-Man

Thank you Zac. Might I suggest that many of the issues with the BGS could have been found in the beta if we were given a little bit of direction about what was being changed, how it was intended to work, and what needed to be tested. The approach of "just go play the BGS and tell us what you see" wasn't very effective and didn't encourage participation from the player base. There were plenty of willing participants that had no idea how to help.

It's a fair point. Just remember that during the stress test we did run 41 events in 2 weeks and some of those were specifically focused on the BGS and different elements of it. I understand there are frustrations that come with these issues but the team are aware and working on it. Ultimately, we're all on the same team.

Stick with us and we'll have an update for you soon.

Awesome, thanks! Now switch off the light, and go home

Trying to get rid of me?

Ultimately, we're all on the same team.

I assume the paycheck is in the mail then?

When will you fix the High-res screenshots? Anytime i press Alt+F10 the game hard crashes. I have reported that issue on the forum here, + sent countless crash reports from the built-in reporting tool.

Has this anything to do with the rarer long range smuggling missions.

Zac, will batch 2 of the minor factions also go live with this patch?

We are looking into them but they need further investigation. The team are aware of the issues.

Quick question Zac what's the rank requirements now for the FAS and FGS?

 

[Alec Turner]

Can I chip in with a traditional "what no ..." post.

What? no fix for vertical thrusters not working when you're released from the landing pad?

 

[Nitek [pl]]

Anaconda hud offset? Anti aliasing?

 

[Monk]

Can I chip in with a traditional "what no ..." post.

What? no fix for vertical thrusters not working when you're released from the landing pad?

I thought that was a safety feature...to prevent the...ZOMG I left my throttle up when I launched then I panic boosted and died....type situation

??? I thought after such a long week it would be a little bit more than this...

From my side no more money... really... i'm disappointed

Did you fire you whole staff?

 

[hoodini]

what about the hyperspace/SC issue that you are currently working to resolve, will that be included as well?

 

[horizone]

I was desperately hoping for fix to supercruise framerate dropping. Anyway, happy to see a patch.

Hey, we're all working here. ON THE GAME!

Truely awesome guys though, both dev and community people at Frontier. We really appreciate your dedication.


Keep it up.

 

[MarcusVatta]

Thanks for the info.

Going to chime in and ask for a status update on this:

Thanks to some brilliant feedback from our players, we’ve made progress with fixing some odd behaviour with influence levels – we hope to address this next week.

Please let us know if we should be looking for BGS behavior changes.

If you are seeing that issue and your have a AMD card it is a driver issue that is on their roadmap to be fixed or at least it appears that way.

As others have, probably correctly, pointed out to me already. There is probably a big push to 1.5 and it is quite likely many fixes will be rolled into that (will even be beta tested).

If I'm understanding things correctly, this patch is just things they have been working on for a while (branched off from 1.5 already) or are critical.

Either way, just wait till tomorrow.
