Maia - big time! Looks like if there are more than a certain number of things in view it freaks out - works better when not many things in the view. Irritating
Patch Notes Update April Update - Patch 2
- Thread starter Will Flanagan
- Start date
// BUG // CRASH //
Game process was crashed on both computers at same time , while flying in the wing. My ship was linked to the wing master , so we are fly to the 'mission target' in the supercruise, and after pressing blue "safe exit" by wing master we are both got a game crash. One important note: my computer box sent crash report successfully, but second computer gone to main menu with error message like " uncorrectable error on the stats server. press ok to return main menu."
// UPD //
its reproducible

I am not at home and I haven't tried the new patch yet, so I'm writing this based only by the reports of other users.
Hasn't anyone higher in FD management noticed this continued incompetence in fixing bugs? It's one thing for a developer to think they've fixed something, but a totally different thing for their supervisors to give the ok for releasing this buggy code. And it's more than once for more than one bug. Come on, people, please get your act together. It's not funny anymore (if it ever was!).
Bring back some people from the 2020 upgrade, the remaining team (including their management) is not enough.

& I only have crap superfast fibre from BT! I'll be very miffed if my bindings or HUD or anything else is borked as a result of this piddling patch!

I certainly wish that was true. However that doesn't seem to be the case. The FSS bug was said to be fixed, however it is not. The scanned planet bug was said to be fixed multiple times before, however it is still not. Two examples I can recall off the top of my head, out of a pile of others over the years.
I'm not going to pretend that game development is easy, but you guys are really starting to earn a reputation in my mind... and not a very good one. Whatever that top secret 2020 update ends up being, I am very concerned that it will end up tainting this game. Considering how you guys aren't even confident enough to give us a general idea of what it is, that paints a picture that you aren't sure you will be able to deliver it at all. And especially after the past couple of years, that is seeming more and more likely to be the case...
Give a man a fish and you´ll feed him for one day,
Give a man to the fish and you´ll feed them for 4 months.
Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day,
But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

yeah, that's why we test.
yeah and that's why we automate all these tests and often run many of them transparently with every single code change, multiple times a day. it's trivial, really.
but sorry for the interruption, you were busy trying to excuse lack of professionality with some emotive discourse about black computer magic and the olde glory days ... go ahead.

Thank you very much Frontier team! Looking forward to crack my canopy accordingly
Cannot wait to play after work! Let the expedition to Voyager's reach continue o7
o7The software your company develops also sells for $25, including support and updates?@Will: I'm quite new to Elite
And by the way: I love all the things that were introduced with the april update.
Absolutely this. Small bug fixing/minor patches often please.
@Will Flanagan
Will this fix the High Grade Emission (re)spawn?
We have been having a very hard time trying to find those.

Erm, yes. I know. However, I'm saying there are edge cases or scenarios even your tests don't anticipate, especially in complex code like games.
Of couse adding to the automated tests after after a code change should be standard practice. However, these are gameplay tests and they have to be carried in the 'Old Fashioned' way asking the question of is the game playing as expected (Yes / No).
And ending on an implied insult, well according to Dictionary.com there is no such thing as professionality, but if you're worried about their lack of professionism, go right ahead
Thanks, CMDR.Restart xbox; apply update; restart xbox: play
