It was BECAUSE it was a holiday weekend they released it. That means the players can spend the holiday gaming. They get lots of new players that way too my hype of the new version. From a business perspective it made perfect sense. I doubt they knew the bugs would be so bad, those would have been caught before release, and generally the bugs are less.... big, and can wait a holiday weekend.
I would expected things to have been commented on and addressed by yesterday however.

Normally I would agree that this makes sense, but in this case, they were told by the early access players just how serious the issues were. They knew. Instead of a long weekend for the players to enjoy playing the game, it was a mess with a whole bunch of players unable to play at all, and there was nobody around to fix it...and here we are, a week and a half later, no word at all from the devs, and game breaking bugs that have existed for two months.

Time for this to be fixed. I for one am not going into the "woo great work. thank you FD", mode when its done, they broke a working game, they should just get on and fix it, no fanfare from us. I mean would you go woo hoo to the maniac mechanic that broke your working car and then fixed it after a week. When he bothered to get around to it.
We are customers. you broke the game we paid for. We need posted updates. Like now.

Update:
rejoice they had time to add a winters decal to the powerpay pack in the store. Free yes but totally unimportant as things go.

My response is likely to be something along the lines...About damned time. Is it really fixed, or did you break a whole bunch of other crap in the process?

The people who add this stuff to the store are a totally different set of people than the ones who are able to fix the bugs that currently plague the 2.3 release. You don't expect the guy who paints your house to be able to fix your dodgy electrical wiring, do you?

No of course not. But given the level of discourse over the past week, you have to admit its a bit on the nose.

Is there a hotfix/patch due for the 2.3 update? I read a cryptic post from a Frontier person referencing a 2.3.01 or something, but scant in any real substance. If there is a fix coming, does anyone know about it and when it's expected?

I'd rather have them work on the patch a bit longer and ensuring that the bugs are actually fixed and no even worse bugs are introduced, then having them rush out a patch which doesn't fix enough of the bugs.

Personally I think they should have pushed out a beta 6 last week and postponed the release of 2.3 by one or two weeks, but I guess this way you ensure that everybody can beta test this release!
And I remember the people clamoring for the end of beta and the release of 2.3 for weeks, so now they have had their way, maybe next time they'll give the beta process some more time!

Yeah I don't think anyone is legitimately asking for a patch to be released right this very second. It's more that we don't even know if anything is even being worked on to repair it. The only contact we've had with Frontier basically said "yeah... Be careful?" and then we got a sticker.
I mean, its probably safe to assume there will be a patch, there always is. But given the legnth of Beta, the lack of ANY QA and the bugs that persisted through the entire Beta into the live build people are just really really exasperated at the fact that three years after the initial release, we're still doing this dance. Many of us long time testers and supporter are getting really quite tired of it.

I give FD all the goodwill in the world and appreciate complex things take time, but at this point I really think an announcement would be appropriate, even if just to say something is coming to fix the bugs, please be patient etc - your entire body disappears during jumps for lord's sake!

It really is a poor show what FD is doing, its no way to run a business. I have 3 accounts but will not buy any further updates for 2 of them and just get my free updates from my backers account.
It's clear to see how FD has responded since this last update that they do not care one little bit about its customers.
Disgraceful customer service, and they wont get a penny more from me.

A developer or support person told someone asking about a particular problem that they "should test this in patch 2.3.01 to see if the problem persisted" a few days ago, so I'm assuming that that was what BoxxMann was referring to.

- Packhounds having infinite ammunition
- Multicrew bug fixes
- Various Stability improvements across the board

As mentioned above, there are other fixes and performance-related improvements included in the update. We’ll have the full list of changes for you as soon as it’s available closer to the release of the update in early May.

Thanks again for your continued support and patience!

With the below patch changes, does it mean that it is now easier to progress naval ranks? I am currently Baron.

• Updated the military career progression numbers to speed up progression a bit
• Increased super power reputation gains by 25% when gaining faction reputation

Exploration

• Rebalanced the amount of exploration career rank awarded when completing Passenger missions
• Stopped awarding First Discovery bonuses of zero credits
• Fixed transaction server error when purchasing exploration data for certain systems
• Increased the credit values of exploration data for scans after this release. Unsold data from previous scans is unaffected by this change.

I've just done the 5kLY's from Colonia to Polo Harbour which is the first real jump/honking exploration I've done in about a month or so after spending a lot of time doing missions in Colonia.

Exploration data payouts from what I've handed in at Polo are a significant improvement in values over exploration rewards prior to 2.3 dropping.

Nice one!
