Patch Notes Update April Update - Patch Notes

Actually the most obvious bug is the launcher demanding an update that doesn't exist,going into a loop so one needs to bypass it to even start the game. It's been there more than a week and on the tracker is not even acknowledged yet.
I don't have it. Maybe just you have it.
 
Not just me according to the tracker and this forum.
Hmm.. a launcher update was released over a week ago, maybe some people got a corrupt installation. Did you try reinstalling it? Also try:

1. Copy the launcher in the game directory, and paste it in the same place.
2. Delete the old launcher. Rename the new one.
3. Open it and log in.

I haven't tried it for this, but it fixed other problems I had with the launcher.

This only happens to me when I launch in SteamVR mode. The game still runs, but if I do click update on the launcher it sends it into a loop.

Yes yes, tried it all...
I guess it doesn't help that there are 3 or 4 entries for it in the issue tracker, and while reproduce able by a large number of people, it's not deemed important enough to fix. But then the whole issue tracker is a joke anyway.

I guess the final step would be reinstalling the whole game...

Interesting... I don't even get an update option, only the pop up saying the launcher wants an update, and it can't go further...
I'm sure it will get fixed as soon as a popular streamer starts to suffer from it.
 
I previously mentioned the bug where modules don't even show so you can't adjust them...which is an old bug that as far as I have seen has never been fixed...
Just hopped into one of my Condas and its doing this...total weirdness, the window is about half full of modules and they are all Discovery Scanners...4 of them...nice.
Previously this seems to only happen to smaller ships and sometimes I cannot do anything to get the modules to show, so this is a first for me having it happen in a battle conda.

I imagine someone else has already mentioned it but in case not, the Top Local system Bounties and Top Interstellar Bounties in the news...both have the same title again.....also an old bug...so every system I have been in today has 2 Top 'Local System' Bounties....1 is just what it says and the other of course named the same but does contain top interstellar bounties.

I've said this several times in the forums, mostly regarding massacre missions and docking issues..that is , I find it extremely peculiar that bugs that were once there, then supposedly fixed tend to come back every update.....Not even going to attempt anymore to speculate how you manage to accomplish this.

FWIW, I have also experienced the massacre mission bug several times today, where ships are the correct place, correct faction, wanted and are in fact Pirates - eg: "Message":"$Pirate_OnDeclarePiracyAttack13;", But are NOT Mission Target and so of course no effect on mission....real nice..

And again FWIW, there is a reason for me anyway why I am posting the bug info in this thread.
 
Yes, it would. Bug there are other games out there too.
Of course, reinstalling the whole game has been tried (not by me) and apparently still doesn't work.
For the record it is just the launcher. I can go to the local ED executables and run from there... But that has its own headaches with registration etc and is not a solution.

I suspect it is because it's done by teams and that the QA is not keeping up with the documentation. So coder 1 is assigned to a bug. Coder 1 makes changes to the code to squash the bug, the changes are poorly documented for whatever reason. An update is planned, new features are to be introduced, the team gets to work, new code is written, existing code is modified, there are schedules to keep pressure is on and coder 1s fix gets overwritten or replaced because it's poorly documented. I can imagine a number of other ways it could happen but they all have their root in quality control.
 
In general, this is a nice update. I like the new menus, especially the commodities. I did some mining yesterday, and didn't have problems with selling my cargo. The extra slots are great, and I wish the newbie stuff had been there, when I started the game. Good job. Litterally!

The FPS in/around stations is a serious issue though. Anyone with more Fdev experience than me, that can give an estimate of if and when that will be fixed?
Late 2020. :)
 
Every single game forum these days, esp. when new patch is released. Totally not related only to ED. Moaning, moaning and more moaning.

Seriously, those comm. managers need to have a stomach to digest all the crap and maliciousness they see and read on "social" networks, forums and such.
Try that, with any other retail product.

FX off fixed my issues for now. I don't mind being able to see the furthest parts of the inside of a station, but <23 FPS made the game mostly unplayable. It's also annoying to wait while filling the Cutters cargo, but it's equally nice to watch the profit slowly rise when selling :)

FX off should be pinned as a solution so far. FX seems to be the second most "heavy" quality setting, after supersampling. I did not now until yesterday. Even if a fix comes out, I will still consider having FX off so that I can run the other settings at a higher level.

Generally I think this update is awesome, and I haven't even dragged my frags (yet).

Same here. I found out 'bout the workaround recently. No issues with this update apart from the restock bug.
