Patch Notes Update 2.3 The Commanders - Changelog

[Sidman]

apparently since this is a update to the 2.3 season and the elite base code, you have to upgrade the 64bit Elite dangerous and horizons is a separate thing, because when I hit Elite Dangerous Horizon it just froze, but when I clicked elite dangerous everything started downloading ok.

If you bought the game with horizon clicking horizons would install the update, but if you bought the game parts separate its the link that has the base game files.

 

[Manfriest]

"Added Space Bar installation" Definitely the highlight of the update!!

 

[Ian Skippy]

Also, given the length of time between beta 5 and release and given the handful of fixes in that time, what can this delay be attributed to? MS certification for the Xbox One version perhaps?

Plus the Other Stuff.

 

[Borgkube]

Finally! After all these years!

Hooray! We are finally getting the ability to name our ships! This is fantastic!

Now.... What am I going to name my Cobra Mk3 ...???

 

[serenadezzz]

it's me or it is harder to kill federal ships?? or the shields has been buffed or multicannons has been nerfed

 

[AydenTheKilla]

Fixed star textures? You mean made them look incredibly worse? Ps2 star textures? Come on fdev.....

 

[DLewth]

Ahh, brilliant. Thank you guys...

One thing caught my eye: "Prevented ships from flying backwards in a ring orbiting a black hole to sneak through the exclusion zone"

My hat goes off to whoever found out that was a thing you can do.

Will you fix trying to choose a star or system planet in 3D VR because it's driving me crazy! AAAAAAGHH! (Hiccup)
37 Weeks of Elite Dangerous played so far. When it reaches 52 do I get a gold star?

 

[Judz]

I am finding it totally impossible to click an a Star in the Galaxy Map, well I CAN click on one, just not the one I want. If I click on the one I think I am clicking on, it zooms right past and goes to one behind. I have to manually type the star name in and do it that way. This is happening even if it's a system next door to the one I am in and I am zoomed right in on the Galaxy Map. Also the details doodah is not where it is supposed to be on mine either, most of the time it's to the bottom right.

Most annoying.

P.S Have the A.I had shield buffs? Seems to take twice as long to knock them out than before. Not a complaint, just an enquiry. So I know not to go in all John Wayne on them

Do you have a filter (such as it's an anarchy system and your GalMap filter is for Security with anarchy not being shown)?

 

[Sysmon]

Looking good! I look forward to get back into the game.

[Hephaistos]

My Save Game is gone.
My changes, which I done in the last days are all gone. Any suggestions to get it back?

Thank you.

These things technically are spam in this thread, but for the umpteenth time, bind your galmap controls to a hotas, or pad, or joystick, and it will work in VR just FINE. There are 400 billion threads about it on these forums along with video tutorials even

 

[CeruleanBat]

Is the store down? >~< i just purchased a few things like half an hour ago or more and i still have yet to received them and the money was taken out of my steam account so is it just slow or am i not going to get them? X3

 

[Sunleader]

Or you could try it and see if it is fun and suck it and see on the money?

I certainly plan to use it equally with wings when i am feeling social.

Its not so much about me. Since I am the one with the Conda.
Its about my Friends. Because I see no reason to ask them for being my Crew when they dont earn anything from it.

I mean no Offense.
But in this case Flying around with them in a Simple Wing is 10 times more effective because they get a Full Share of Rewards and we Kill Enemies at double the Speed.

So yeah for Trying out sure. But if its not going to be useful to them then it means that for anything in terms of actually making Progress we will once more Play alone.
And since I tend to use most of my time to make Progress its just not meaningful to me use this Mechanic at all.

Its like the Commander Creator an Cosmetic Update with no real meaning beyond being funny to look at.
But which has no real Benefit to use for the Player.


Sorry but seriously this Mechanic just Ruins the whole thing because it means that Multi Crew is Pathetic compared to a normal Wing.
Your Weaker than in a Wing
You make less Profit than in a Wing
You are more limited in your Options than in a Wing

So why would I ever use Multi Crew instead of just having my 2 Friends pack their Vultures and go Hunting with them in that which despite having lower Combat Ranks earns us Full Money and at the same time being much much Stronger??

Wow. You lost me there. You should be ashamed.

If you cant handle others being Honest thats a shame indeed.
Not mine tough.

And well sorry.
But as I asked above.
Why would anyone use Multi Crew now ?

No Offense but there is simply no reason to. Because lets face it. Anything you can do in MC is just much more Effective by just making a Normal Wing.
So just like Naming your Ship or having Blue Lasers. This is effectively just an Cosmetic Update.
No Correction. It is in fact less than that. Because it effectively weakens you and Cuts your Profits because by not doing it you would make more Money and be able to be Stronger in Combat.


So why would I feel Ashamed about not bothering with this rubbish ?

Not using VR, and it was fine before so I see no reason to change my bindings when it worked perfectly before, and more fluidly with a mouse I may add

 

[yodajedifishmaster]

i have to say my first impression was : what the hell? why is the game almost silent?

i used to play with it on normal audio now i CANNOT PLAY unless it is on BOOST. the discovery scanner charging noise and boing are different and worse. i prefer how it was for audio levels. the computer voice is no longer loud enough unless (and this on BOOST!) i turn up my sound system to volume levels that will get me noise complaints from the neighbours. my system settings are unchanged i will check again because win 10 just updated but i have it set so it cannot mess with drivers. audio is an issue for me now.

 

[Judz]

Do you have a filter (such as it's an anarchy system and your GalMap filter is for Security with anarchy not being shown)?

Nope, the only filter I have going on is scoopables and white dwarfs (they're easy on the eye so I don't mind taking the route through them). Plus the Systems I am trying to hit are ones I only visited yesterday.

Hey, I am not your friend, but if your providing the beer and or rum. I open to being on someones crew. All the fun, none of the investment. LOL

 

[Milkman76]

Thanks so much! This is a massive update!

That said, err, I didn't have many issues with planet or sun textures before this patch, but now I do. The suns look horrible.... and if I sit next to them long enough, they pop into less-horrible textures. Ive tried toggling GPU 'work' and planetary texture options but get same result on any setting, low or high. That.... and I immediately lost my 1st anaconda because of some really weird stuff during an interdiction. Not going to complain about that now because Im not 100% sure what happened, but will try again and post again if need be.
