Spent today playing 2.4 and at the start i had 97% in the Empire's rank system, by time of posting this i had reach 100% and no message saying i had increased in rank and it has been 100% for at least 4 hours. I do not know if this is a patch problem or not ??

Sounds normal. Do you mean rank or reputation? From memory I think you only get a message when you become allied or friendly with a superpower, or when you reach the next naval rank after completing an ascension mission.
 
Ah, I forgot to check mine. I better do it later, but I wonder if will only start counting form now rather include the many hours already played.

While talking about the PS4, why has the XBox got 25 new achievements & the PS4 has none?
That seems to be to the case actually. When I logged in today the few hours I'd played last night had been added.

Agreed on the achievements. I like to do a bit of trophy hunting so I was hoping to see a few new ones.
 
Does Anyone want to save 15Gb of disk space. It's Easy

Just look for the Elite dangerous Public beta test folder in the same directory as your exisiting game "elite-dangerous-64" folder
eg C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products

and delete it.

The beta just sits there and is not deleted.
 
Hmm, well there was a ingame system message at 19.30 saying they're shutting off the servers to do an update, but can't find a thread about it here yet......

Yeah, annoying that it doesn't.

EDIT: Mis-read...

Don't forget people's installation location can vary!

Now that I can actually access the game (about 15 minutes before the server came down.. .DOH!), I can say that one thing I really love is the speed at which the in station screens now open. Before it was like, off to get a coffee while station services open, now it's weeeeeee, I am into services, and now I am in outfitting, and now I am somewhere else.

Really great job Devs. Well done all.
 
Why would it be deleted?

Oh Com'on! Why wouldn't it be deleted? Seriously. two words: "Good housekeeping"

Ideally, the launcher should still display the folder and offer everyone the option to remove it whilst informing them how much space it's wasting,oops I mean taking up.
 
I have three right now.
3 what? Oranges? Planetary missions? If they're delivery missions, then yeah, I can get quite a few of those. (Other planetary missions? Extremely rare compared to space missions. Although if the RNG dice rolls just right, you can get a lot of one type. So "I have 3" doesn't mean much on it's own.)

Are you talking about scanning missions only, or just things to do generally on planets?
In general (except for deliveries).

Not sure what you mean. They are right there on the mission board, more than ever, for me.
Unfortunately I cannot test 2.4 yet, but did you get them in 2.3? There is nothing in the patch log saying this issue was fixed. (And it was NOT fixed in the 2.4 betas.)

It's not a temporary installation ..

Deleting it would mean players would either have to manually copy the current live build into their BETA installation folder and only update part of it for BETA testing, or they'd have to redownload the entire thing.... either option is unnecessary when you can just leave it in place, and update it when a BETA becomes available.

Feel free to remove it from your computer if you need to; but I don't, and I'd be quite annoyed if it the launcher decided to delete it for me.
 
Great update, i like it very much, thanks but WHY in the world Xbox plebs get achievements and steam users (or regular users) have nothing ???
 
Has 2.4 finally turned off my Cobra MKIII interior light? Playing for the first time in VR last week it struck me how bright it was. Yesterday it was off. That's all I needed from this patch [yesnod]

I have PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER from 2015 (5.9GB), and PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64 from February (13.3GB). As I only play the game occasionally and don't use Betas now I'll delete them. Thanks.
 
Agree. Different games for different concepts. ED is a particular concept. Not all games can be all things. I love NMS for the planet, 1st person, walking around, discover part, but the space flying is terrible. Love NMS planet side, but hate it in space. For ED, flying a space ship in a whole galaxy. Amazing. But no atmo planets, no walking around, oh, well, like you said, when I feel like that, I switch to the game that has it.

Only things I'd like to have in ED now, ... hmm... have to think. I guess nothing super serious. Atmo planets perhaps and more types of land vehicles. Personally, I don't think adding space legs will make it better. Space legs might even ruin the VR play, I think.

So play the game the fits your mood.

Amen.

Yeah why? Noticed this. Maybe it's an average age thing to keep the kids engaged. You know average age of console players and all that.
 
Rank.
I have been an ally (95-100%) for sometime and before the upgrade i got notification on my statuses with the minor powers when i did improve my relations.

Hey all us console players aren't kiddies. ;)

We didn't get anything on the PS4 either, but sensible trophies/achievements are a good way to tempt players to try stuff they might not otherwise bother with.
