Update 18.01

[Paul_Crowther]

Greetings Commanders,

We will be releasing Update 18.01 on Thursday 7th March to resolve some issues during the usual Thursday maintenance. Downtime is expected to be approximately 3 hours.

Release Schedule:

• 5AM UTC - In game broadcasts begin
• 7AM UTC - Downtime commences
• 10AM UTC - Update 18.01 releases and servers back online

Update Notes

• A fix for Titan vents becoming stuck and the core not being exposed. A nice amount of WD40 can solve many issues.
• A fix to stop Titan cores becoming exposed multiple times when vents are blocked. The cores will now be a little more reserved.
• Fixed instances of incorrectly triggering Titan behaviour post destruction. They won't show off quite as much when they are supposed to be having a bad time.

Keep an eye on this thread and our social channels for updates!

Any word on if this patch will also fix the bug not allowing CMDRs to apply an Experimental Effect to the 5A Pre-Engineered FSD?

This update fixes the issues listed in the notes. We do continue to investigate other reported issues, but this update resolves those specifically mentioned.

I presume it's not all server-side - there'll be a client update?

 

[Paul_Crowther]

There will be a small update, around the 250MB mark.

Ah, was really hoping a 18.01 would fix commodity markets no longer tracking mission goods (broke in U18) as it's very inconvenient if it's going to stay like this all the way into U19 or longer. https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/63464

Actually we've just added in my latest mix tape. It's six hours of incoherent screaming. I expect it to do well in the charts.

Ooooooof. Thursday is like the only day I play now. Sigh, guess I'll have to find something else to do for a couple of extra hours.

Thanks Paul. On GeforceNow the Steam client updates automatically pretty quickly, but I have to raise a ticket with Nvidia to get the Epic Games client updated, usually happens next day.

Are you going to try to dethrone LCU No Fool Like One?

250MB are not enough for ship interiors!

Another disappointment.

Can we also get it on LP, please?
