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.
