15.02 Update Notes

[[VR] Mad Mike]

Well, not really, cos your Steam client was showing an actual download (with a size) to perform while mine wasn't...

either way.... over 50gb. what a bodge.

The issue is fixed yes.

I mean, I trust you, but that's not concrete info

Think of the electricity you saved by asking on the forum instead of just playing the game & confirming it to your own satisfaction. You're an environmental hero!

OTOH the black screen when disembarking & subsequent disappearing SRV on relog is back, even with networking set to ipv6 only Probably the stormy UK weather causing the disconnections.

So maybe we need more people asking simple, easily checked questions on the internet rather than playing the game to save the environment & reduce the extreme weather events I'm blaming for slightly inconveniencing me during my gaming sessions.

Maybe.

You're onto something here.
I reckon a vast amount of energy could be saved if people just watched play-throughs of games on YouTube. Think of the money they'd save on GPUs as well!

I get what you are trying to say and it really seems to be that way.
This one however, might not be that unpopular since missions are the very heart of gameplay in ED.
And soooo many mission types are broken that it's almost impossible to play the game for 15 minutes without having to relog, restart, pray to god or abandon missions.

I really hope CMs are indeed monitoring this thread (as they said they would) so this can be fixed to some extent.
It's really not that unreasonable of a request wanting to have working missions in a video game.

Everytime I play, I take about 10-15 missions, and end up abandoning 2-3 missions that ended up bugged and can't be finished.

Can the next update please remove the useless SalvationFinale and UPDATE_14_INTRO movies that aren't used by the game any more? It's 300MB of wasted bandwidth/disk space (and you get the Salvation movie twice if you have both Live and Legacy installed).

Just delete them yourself - the movies are not called by the game any more. (I deleted mine after their first run - never had an issue since.)

That only works until the next update then Steam redownloads them. Shouldn't have to do this song and dance every couple of months.

I didn't realise Steam did that - how annoying. (Yet another reason to buy direct I suppose. )

Well considering I was never able to figure out if there even was the issue with the Cutter thrusters during landing existing before...and I'm loathe to make the hike back to inhabited space with my carrier so I can test it at stations which apparently behave differently than carriers with this....

 

[Lukozer]

Disembark from your ship and reboard (I did so on a planet since the concourse was unavailable at the mission station, I'd guess it would work on a station but haven't tested). Then it will allow you to hand it in.

This will definitely happen if you use the unstuck option to reboard (and possibly rebuy) your ship.

This didn't work for me, tried after disembarking on a planet, then on a station in another system, nothing. Even tried doing another AX restoration mission to try and see if handing that mission in would also get the first one working again.... Nope, had the option to hand in the second mission, nothing about the first.
It seems the only work around for this infuriating issue is to not take more than one AX restoration mission at a time. This is the sort of issue that should have been sorted with a hotfix. Instead you can bet FDev will announce it as a "feature" of Update 16.
