Disgraceful, firstly it is released near midnight. Then once you finally download the update you can't get online anyway.

Never mind eh? If you have a life to live you might want to consider living it for a couple more hours.
 
Would this be any different in terms of players online at one time when the game is fully released ? Should I be expecting a red online button and no ability to play when this happens ? I bloody hope not ! I'm very concerned about the network side of things. It seems to be an ongoing issue starting from when multiplayer was first introduced. I really hope this is sorted at some stage otherwise they really could be digging ED's own grave !

If it had been going for 5 years I would agree !!!

But one hour !! ..... Really !!
 
I thought that that was typical AI behaviour - they all seem to attempt to reorient themselves for a face-to-face laser-race as soon as they get the chance - regardless that they might be outgunned, outclassed and outarmoured.

That's one of the AI main tactics. What I meant is they actually go in for ramming! Pls try and confirm...
 
To be fair, I'm not surprised we all tried to log in, and would have taken that into account with my plans on capacity. At least with PB I have played and know it's worth it, but all the new Beta players who were sold something to start today and can't get in, hardly a good start for them.

Just like NASA knew exactly what to expect on the moon, or the wright brothers who accurately predicted the finer aspects of aerodynamics and powered flight or perhaps like the IPv4 addressing scheme which has run dry after humanity made literally billions of network connections with it.
This is a beta, beta's are for grinding out bugs, clearly, the servers aren't coping too well under extreme load, this will be attended to (as they are already doing AFAIK)

TLDR; you cant predict everything.

Indeed.

Jeez, you people are so ungrateful, such childish whiners. Its been released all of one hour, give it time to settle in. Its a beta, it will have issues. Im sure by tomorrow morning everything will be fine

The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness

I'm afraid I don't class logging on once in an hour and a half to get stuck in hyperspace a kindness or something that deserves appreciation, particularly when the issue will be 'unexpected capacity'.

And as I have to be up in 5 hours to go to work and it's midnight I can't consider this to be the hyped up launch on 29/7 they have been selling.

I'll mellow out on this once in and enjoying the changes, but for 29/7, a complete waste of my time
 
Purely because I'm not man-enough to go trawling through this ever-increasingly behemoth-like thread; do you have to log out and back in for the Online button to go grey, or will it just change?

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one wondering this :)

And, is it just possible that FD didn't actually believe that the server loads would be this demanding for the Beta release? It may have just taken them by surprise! (I enjoy playing devil's advocate :p)

Also, even completely finished games will have servers overloaded on the first day when everyone wants to play it all at once...
 
Authorization server unavailable?

Whoop Whoop! Got the Beta 1 downloaded but oops, getting the same problem I had before. Unable to log onto the authorization server.
Is this just because the server is increeeeeeedibly busy? When I played yesterday I got crashed out at the commodities screen and had to kill the process, so I'm worried in case something got screwed up.

Anyone else got the same problem?
