I'm in the UK and have no problems whatsoever. Is it people in other countries that are having problems or is this a world wide thing?

Nope, UK here and my menu couldn't be more frozen if it was on Neptune.

I've just completely purged my system of anything Frontier related and am downloading from scratch. Will let you know how it goes!

They are sometimes in your install directory instead of under appdata

Simo3583 · Oct 1, 2014

For those just tuning in and crash on loading screen or main menu check you haven't got huge log files in your ED directory (not the app data one) the one where your game installed im on WIN 7 I install directly to my raw drive no sub directory's so mine is
D:\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002\Logs Delete them

I too have an app data one and there are no logs there

How many people are working on this thing?

They are not that easily replaceable with each other, especially software engineers.

Had nice 35 mins and crash in the end. Visually it's just so much better. But yeah, you need to get online first.

The log files aren`t in the User Folder but in ED subfolder:

Code:

\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1001\Logs

I got the same log message. Seems as if the client can't communicate with the server and "doesn't know what to do" except writing a log. Sounds like a missing comment before a debug output and therefore it stops doing anything else.

Don't think so, human mind can't be stretched like that.

Playing for 30 mins now. No crashes or disconnects. Might be indication of simple overload on servers due of some weird code problem.

Did you do a hyperspace jump?? Because it crashed when I did!! Everything else was ok until then though.

Funny. I have no such folder in my install dir. I don't even have a 'products' folder in there.

did not help me and did not help most of the other players to get in. but it is worth a try I guess.

Mucka · Oct 1, 2014

So it doesn't seem to be location related either. Who knows what the common denominator is?
I am happy that people who are getting in are reporting fewer disconnects now though, that augurs well.
Hopefully this will be resolved by tomorrow evening and I thank the Devs for trying their best at least. Can't ask anymore than that.

Gave this a quick go before leaving for work. Got 2.0.2 and tried running.

It loads to the front menu which is responsive for maybe a second or two then stops responding to cursor movement.

The netlog file was 1.8GB when I force killed the EXE.

Did it again and same thing but I force killed the EXE more quickly and opened the netlog.log file.

Love the changelog and looking forward to getting into this to have a look.

this is not intended to get you in just to free hdd space for those who lack it if these people are unaware they are using up there HDD im sure they would like to know

andysim · Oct 1, 2014

my computer does not even generate a log file. At least not in the EDLaunch Folder. just locks up the game right after you see the Frontier logo and see the first menu screen, it says at bottom left "Server:54195.170.117:19354 [Unconnected]"

I should point out my hard drive goes nuts like its writing a big file, only killing the app stops it.

HDRhineland · Oct 1, 2014

I have massive lags (+/- 5 seconds) when leaving supercruise at selected targets. This doesn't happen when I leave supercruise at some random point (without having selected anything). I doubt this has anything to do with my internet connection and/or my system. The whole game runs smoothly at 60 FPS, only leaving supercruise at selected targets is a pain...

Koranis · Oct 1, 2014

Since 2.02 the game freezes just after the splash intro. The menu is frozen and I have to alt+ctrl+del the game to shut it down

Try the "[Installpath]\Products\FORC-XXXX\Logs folder

Check in c:\elite\.... seems b2.0 install was different to B1.xx
I couldn't find any in "Frontier_Developments" but found them at the directory above

I did two jumps and it was ok. On third I got crash. Have to go sleep now.

Anyway, just relax, FD will figure it out. I know everyone wants to play right now, but beta being beta - such stuff happens. Devs will figure out and in the end it will be much better game at release.

Have fun out there!
