changed the mtu setting in my router to 1500 and now i can play :)

thanks for the suggestion

Why would you ever reset your MTU off of 1500?:S One of the first things I learned setting up networks. You can Play with anything except the black hole (MTU). So I am really curious why that was not 1500.

I can get in, but i cant jump to another system, stuck at Azaban......

every time i try and jump it says connection to server lost and returns me to main menu!!!!!

Loving the new menus and the new station UI, looks amazing, new sidewinder engine sounds are nice too.

Not too sure about the strange glow around all the holographics tho, makes my eyes feel weird trying to focus!
 
Downloaded 2.02.

Launched fine. Server disconnect message when trying to join private group. Tried again in solo. Got in.

Instead of being docked, I was outside an invisible station. No stars. Galaxy map as my background. When I opened the galaxy map (long hang), it was blank. Same issue I was seeing in 2.00, but not in 2.01. I tried to jump, and completely hung. Had to kill from task manager.

Launched again. Server disconnect message again. Got in second try, solo mode. This time I was deposited inside the super structure of the station, bouncing off of walls and trashing my ship. Quit.

Downloaded client again, and tried a third time. Happy days. An hour plus of no problems game play, until it was rudely interrupted by a crash-to-desktop when dropping out of s/c.

Relaunched a fourth time, connected first time. Played for another 20 mins. All was good. I was even able to quit to desktop, without it hanging!

Couple of minor glitches...

- Small hangs when dropping out of s/c at stations, but not terrible
- Some frame rate jerkiness around stations and docking, which I wouldn't expect on my rig, and have not seen before b2.00.
- I noticed on the bulletin board, a couple of times non-cargo courier missions were repeated twice, which is a little weird, but meant I was able to get paid twice for the same job!

I did not get any interdictions during these decent sessions, when I was getting them pretty frequently on 2.00 and 2.01?

Missions seem to be giving much greater monetary rewards, but on the other hand, feels like fuel is a lot dearer now. I trotted around a few systems, and it felt like the commodity market was quite suppressed, with little stock for sale.

Overall impressions... WOW!!

Just a giant leap forward. It feels so much more a complete game now. I love the new station menus, big improvement. The loadout section is a massive advance on before. The bulletin board missions a big step up too. I actually love the new HUD UI... I can see why some people don't like it, but I actually like the blurry fuzzy flickering effects. Makes me feel like I am flying around in a beaten up sidewinder :) Landing on outposts is very cool. I love that we now have systems with more than one station or outpost. That feels a lot richer. New music during s/c is very nice. I love the creaking groaning sounds of my sidewinder at high speed! Space is looking very lovely too :)

Pottered around, made some money on trading, courier missions, selling planetary data (not really sure what I was doing there), and generally having a good time.

Very impressed. Great leap forward. Looking forward to really kicking the tyres now.

Yes... there have been a lot of stability issues over the last 24 hours, but I am confident these will get ironed out. FD are delivering something that looks gorgeous.
 
I can't play !
Sidewinder spinning with OpenPlay, and server error in Solo mode !

After clearing logs and after one more menu freeze, i open the netLog.log . ... ..

<no log>

Yeah, i'm getting the same. Had 8GB of logs after just a few tries. Keep checking it every half hour but it's still doing the same; bed now, but i'll check again in the morning. From what i saw earlier this morning (i was able to play tutorials), the new update looked great!
 
Kept getting disconnect from server on each jump so I moved to solo mode and no more crashes. Did a couple of trade runs and a couple of missions to Styx and back to I Bootes without a crash. Whoop whoop now got 4500 credits. Sleeps for me now.
 
Well I have the freezing non responsive menu here too.

Luckily I read about the large log files... Closed down Elite with task manager within a couple of seconds, it had still written a 400 Mb log file though :eek:

After the 2.00 black screen disaster I woke up hopeful for 2.02.... Well, there is always 2.03 :D (or 2.04....:rolleyes:)
 
go in the router settings via a browser and you should find it in there. you'll have to check for your router, but it's normally something like 198.162.0.1
 
2.02 is okay for me, not as stable as 1.06, but playable.

Based on a few hours playing solo...

GOOD:

Planet shadows on rings - wow!!!! (Okay I may have missed them before, but... really WOW...)

Inky black space (black is now black)

Co 'supercruisers' trails zipping around you

The stations look stunning, as does sunrise over a planet - simply breathtaking!

Shadows cast from the cockpit's frame really adds immersion

BAD:

'could not to connect server' kick - multiple times, albeit the resume point is never too far from the 'kick' point. But I never had a single instance of this before

the trading screen needs a darker background, or to have the same orange hue as other menus) as it can be hard to read

lots of audio crackling, esp in/around stations - the passage through the station's 'mouth' sounds about right, but sounds crackle elsewhere too

the FPS can get very jerky close to a station - I never had this before

OVERALL:

great job FD, and if this is only the beta... oh my oh my, the (space sim gaming) world needs to brace itself for the final product!!!
