Patch Notes Update Beta 1 Available for Download

[Non Grata]

I saw it go to 300 m/s on two pips to engines. I can't imagine 4 pips haha.

Then that is a change!

I was in and docked but before getting on landing pad the station disappeared. Now i see a spinning sidey while trying to entre game again.

Thank you for very good update FD. I really like the Sound and echoes in the station. Much better than premium beta. It seems also to have better performance.

@Michael, you do know there is a setting in the forum software which would allow you to make all these split posts as one single, albeit long post, yes...?

Heck, what am I blabbering about! Where's my download?!

Data flowing again (@ 0.24 MB/s)

Me too. Those additional spooled servers Michael mentioned I trust?

Around 50% now... progress!

I can see this being a busy, busy night!

The stars will be full of Sidewinders

Just logged in and as I'm docking the station yet again does its Babylon 4 act.

Can't believe its been doing this since early Alpha and it's not sorted yet.

I'm getting a huge 0.7 MB/s ATM. I think I'll be turning the sleep function off (don't want the computer to stop d/l just so it can go to sleep) and heading out for the day (in NZ it's 10 am). Although, judging by the bugs that are already starting to show I'm not sure that it will be worth playing until the next update which I am sure will be soon.

Seen some streams...Missions Bulleting Board is interesting.

 

[DarthVain]

Around 50% now... progress!

Sitting around 40% now, mostly at 0 MB/s but the occasional jump to 0.5 MB/s.

Boost speed reaches 307 with 4 pips to engines. Going to try docking again.

Massive thanks to Michael and the entire FD team, wonderful looking so far, cannot wait till tomorrow, may even try and get up early to have a bash.

Night all

The list

What a list of changes, fixes and tweaks!

My jaw started dropping at one particular entry stating that dust would now take account of lighting from the galaxy (or something like that). Just how much detail is going into this?!

Download nearing its end...

 

[jangove]

did anyone who is getting the red online button have the premium beta/alpha? Just wondering if they're temporarily stoping standard beta people from joining for some reason

Yup. I didn't get a crazy fast download speed. But I have a crazy fast connection, since I work from home. The baseline ability to pull down 8-to-10 MiB/s can be kinda hand. Pricy. But handy.

Yeah, I am creeping up on 50%.

It's late over there. Y'all should just cancel your downloads and go to bed.

So not much difference with 4 pips, but big difference with 2 - a bit odd.

 

[Krey]

I see a graphics artifacts (AMD 7970), never seen before any artifacts

 

[brucemcmillan]

[Duckocide]
