Hello commanders,

We have an update for our gamma stress test servers today! Here's the change log... as always, thanks for all of your bug reports, and feedback for CQC!

The PTS servers will be down for up-to 30 minutes during this update. We will push the update out at 3PM BST.


  • Fixed a crash opening system map when jumping
  • Fixed a soft lock in CQC.
  • Server matchmaking improvements.
  • Server stability and performance fixes.
  • Added CQC specific mute mode option (only available on PC/Mac).
  • Added default settings for the new Options Screen Interface.
  • Added A PC only tooltip to notify of the new option.
  • When a player quits from the CQC menu, make sure that they leave any squad that they were part of.
  • If a player is on the edit loadout screen when a game starts, them make sure that they start loading into the game.
  • Reduced the number of rounds being shot, the amount of damage being done and increased reload time for CQC frag cannon.
  • Fix error transitioning from galaxy map to powerplay screen.
  • Set a minimum level of visible stars in the galaxy map.
  • Changed the maximum number of invites to 3 for squads on PC, rather than 7.
  • Handle network disconnections early in voice comms. If my attempts to send fail, or I miss their cancel(/timeout) response, I should give up.

Thanks!

i'm guessing CQC will be blended into the lore and game. that should hush most of the people calling for removal of the CQC ranking in the Hud.

More likely it's dev speak and CQC system permit means something to do with networking protocols or whatever.

I thought it was a permit for a specific system or station in the "real"* game if you got to a certain level in CQC

*ducks head down to avoid the I don't want CQC stuff in my game / CQC is great fun argument...

There is a system in the main game, the permit for which you are awarded for Prestiging in CQC - not sure which system it is off the top of my head though, and not sure what makes it special.

When you hit your first prestige level, you get a permit for the CQC system - it's like the Founders World, but for CQC.

However, that issues wasn't resolved in this release. edit; Removed it from the list! :eek:

Oh, I didn't know that.

What is the CQC system called? I'm assuming it's not called "CQC System"?

Could you guys consider making CQC also available as a location inside the regular game? i.e. I travel there and can compete in the games, instead of breaking immersion via a menu? ^_^

Also thanks for the mute option, very much appreciated!

Can we also get push to talk to be default rather then continual? and maybe some way to ingame test and config our voice communication, playback device and such? so we can make voices come out of another speaker/heatset if we have such?

Also Over/under 3d pretty please?

This is exactly how it should be. Not a side game like pocket space invaders.

There are several modes for 3d monitors as it is now, right now Elite only supports where the monitor is sent the pictures side by side. As in if you saw it on a non 3d monitor, you'd find two almost identical pictures on left/right side of screen.

However this kind of 3d cuts horizontal resolution in half meaning that each screen only gets half of say 1980, and it is noticeable and frustrating, especially if you are using passive 3d monitors since they already cut vertical resolution in half.
However there is a 3d that works similar to side by side, but instead it is called over-under or top-bottom, meaning that the top and bottom are the split points instead, yes this cuts vertical resolution in half, but this is done anyway on passive 3d screens AND vertical resolution is not nearly as important as horizontal resolution (don't ask me why not sure just have seen the results on both active and passive and it is), so people using passive 3d monitors or tv's cannot really get a good 3d experience from Elite, yes there is nvidia 3d but for some reason that has limitations so it will not allow more then 24hz which is unplayable, and doesn't make sense, and nvidia isn't really forthcoming on why they prevent 60hz 3d on anything but very specific monitors, there are hacks about but those are really tricky to get to work correctly.

I dont mind if they leave it as a side game. (It has many advantages)
But I hope they are planning on implementing Tournaments that will be hosted in specific systems/stations. with an entryfee and prices for winners

CQC Frag Cannon nerfed?! I expected a rapid cannon nerf, but not a frag cannon nerf, which is barely viable as is.

Brett, can you check if this line of the changelog is correct?
