Patch Notes Update Beta 2.03 incoming

[Schnittertm]

Thank you, FDEV team, I'm finally in and it is beautiful. Coming out of the Azeban Orbital Outpost and seeing the huge, shining (and sadly civil war ridden) globe of Azeban below (beside, above, wherever) me was breathtaking, to say the least.

Keep up the good work, oh, and do take a rest.

Have been playing flawlessly most of the day in 2.02...

But now after 2.03 i keep getting Server: IPORT [disconnected]

I couldn't play in 2.02 and don't have problems now.

Can someone report if colors are still washed out ?
And if twinkle stars are still present ?

 

[Apec Valorian]

Still seeing the washed-out graphics look, but that's a side issue compared to not being able to play at all. Logging off game now until I have more free time later this afternoon.

Washed-out graphics look can be tweaked by the Graphics "gamma" setting.

No, it is separate issue with color table generation. FD is aware of it.

Woohooo! After I cleared my save in 2.03 I can get past the spinning sidewinder and finally join the Open play!

Comments like this are why the team cares so much.

GW Team!
I'm going in!

Wish I was... got new beta loaded... lost my ship and any credits - lost the UK flag paint job I PAID MONEY for.

Can't buy any cargo - no screen to go to... unless they moved it and forgot to tell me where it is.

Not a happy bunney any more

Yes and yes.
Hope they come up with a different method to show star brightness. In beta 1 they looked looked very nice to me. I wonder why they have changed that.

how you cleared save guy's?

Main Menu -> Start -> Clear Save (I think).

 

[deej78]

Can someone confirm if we do infact need to clear saves?

 

[Rubbernuke]

Is my response to 2.03

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Yes and yes.

Winkling stars is a feature, not a bug. If you have read exploration DDF, you would understand why.

Washed-out graphics look can be tweaked by the Graphics "gamma" setting.

No, they can't. Even at the lowest Gamma setting the dynamic lighting and even the shaders are still broken and shadows/reflections do not work. What we see is completely different from what can be seen in screenshots and videos from those who are lucky enough to have it working correctly.

Here, screenshots with medium and the lowest gamma settings:

Spoiler

Compare it to what the station looks like in this video:

just check menu Clear Save if you need.
Or what?

Only if you get spinning ship and can't get in.
