Same freeze on the main menu.

But, a note about logging. From the moment I press [Play] on the launcher and the moment I had to kill the task after the freeze, it took just about 20-25 sec.
And it generated about 200MB of logs! :)
 
Unable to connect to server

Unable to connect to server. Click OK. Click Online/Solo. Spinning Sidewinder. That's it. Same as before. In US, maybe Network?
 
2.02. Get into game first time. Think 'whoa - new GUI' at Azeban's station services. Disconnected from server when selecting bulletin board. Ho hum. :)
 
I still can't play the game. Can't connect to server via START, so no solo, private group or open play for me.
However, there's something else that troubles me. I decided to do some dogfighting in the tutorials... Is it just me or did the mouse controls changed significantly? I'ma keyboard/mouse guy (i don't feel like spending $100 bucks for a Saitek X52) and before Beta 2, i could control my ship just fine.
Now, a sidewinder handles like an Anaconda, slow and sluggish. Turn rate is awfully slow, roll is either too slow or way too sensible (depending on mouse sensitivity setting).
I had plenty of kill before, vs NPCs and Players and now I find myself unable to kill a single Cobra? The way it is, the game is unplayable for me, i have to shuffle my mouse 20 times, just to make third of a loop.

You need to change two options in mouse controll which are by default set to ON. Those are "relative axis". You won't need anymore to shuffle mouse.
 
getting cant connect to authentication server now? Anyone else seen this? Wont even let me get to the menu in game.
 
Downloaded both updates without issue, but servers appear to be down.
Are the servers being kept down for the moment?

Kudos to the frontier crew for keeping us updated promptly and for an awesome game so far.
 
Getting in to the game is very much hit and miss at the moment and when I do it crashes immediately when I try to jump to another star system and are just about to exit hyperspace.

Well...the stars are back at least! :)
 
Got 2.02, looked like everything was fixed, just started getting into the flow... then disconnected. Waited a while, was able to get in again, tried in solo. Was able to play for a minute before disconnect.
Is it a server-load issue?
 
Well I was able to play for about 20 mins before getting disconnected again... and now once again cannot connect at all. Also, playing at 2560x1440, there are many areas where the graphics are APPALLING! My patience is running out... Beta 2 was stupidly late and the atrocious state it was (and continues to be) in means it has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. Requiring 2 updates in less than 24 hours after finally being unleashed upon the unsuspecting testers and still both broken and inferior to Beta 1.06 in almost every way. I used to detest people who endlessly bashed the devs and the game... After today i'm starting to see exactly why they do.

Earthquakes, volcanos, tsunami .... are disasters. This is just a game. "Stupidly late" is for sure subjective, but surely not measured in hours or days? Go read a book while you wait, the game will be back :)
 
Well, I get into the hangar, but then I get disconnected. Went for solo play, thought this is not as heavy on the connection to the server, but I guess it doesn't really matter.

apparently my client is too new now. Nice to change of pace, I appreciate the irony.
 
I started a first tutorial mission.
Graphics was bad. Washed out colors, colorful stars (of which some look like this), etc.

Yeah I cant connect to server either, also cant assign a keybind to coms panel, it crashes it back to desktop every time, ticketed .

The more you crash the better the game will be!

btw, you got to use the word "mitigated"..
Hehe.. "Mitigated", its fun to say.
 
Some people are forgetting that the money they paid to play ED ahead of launch was money paid as a supportive pledge with which came a commitment to provide feedback data for subsequent updates. Remember why you joined and stop complaining! Get into the spirit of development instead :D

You are game testers. NOT customers - yet.
 
Think I know what the problem is.

The main variable in Elite's primary code is:

game_works = false

just change that over to

game_works = true

and you're good to go! :D

Anyways thanks again for all your hard work guys.
