Patch Notes Update Beta 2.03 incoming

[musojon74]

It is amazing that we are closing in to 2 year anniversary of Kickstarter who started it all. It feels just like yesterday. And yet here we are.

I so can't believe it's been that long!! Very scary... Running very well now, thanks.

 

[Flash Harry]

Works great for me now! Just a bit stuttery. I'm sure thats because everyone is on catching up on 2 days downtime! Thanks Dev Team!
My only problem now is the Milky Way brightness.

Thx Frontier. It works like a dream, was even able to connect to open play without a problem and had a blast of a playtime. Did my first mission to.
Happy commander here

 

[deusx_ophc]

just wow - thanks @FDEV for pulling us through before a loooong weekend

thar she blows!

 

[Vlodec]

Yep, did the Clear Save thing and it all seems to work perfectly now. Famous last words I know.....

Visually much improved I think, and audibly too. The new Supercruise music is excellent, though I don't know if I'll think that after 1,000 repetitions.

One thing I hate....the same command for Supercruise and Hyperdrive. It's just plain wrong to have the same command for 2 different things and no good will come of it. Yes, I know it was like this in Beta 1. I was hoping FD would see the error of their ways and change it back.

 

[sassman]

Yes! I'm in and loving it. The visuals have definitely been upgraded and look fantastic. Thank you FD!

I Cant seem to sell my over-nerfed viper as it says: "Server request denied" Anyone else got that message?

 

[EvilRO]

Issues buying and selling

Hey, Anyone else getting told denied by server when trying to buy ships or somtimes trying to buy cargo or even taking on missions?

Much better. Loads into multi-player a lot faster than previously, although I still have the launcher taking forever to load and generally performing badly. Performance is generally a lot smoother than B1.0x versions for me and aesthetically and audibly much improved. Missions / bulletins generally are a lot better in terms of layout, rewards, information provision etc. Everything is just...better. Only issue I'd raise is I seem to be getting a few false alarms in SC and exiting hyperspace like shields offline when they're not, emergency stop warning without such happening. Obviously SC is still sometimes taking a while to happen on entry and exit, but FS generally seems to perform better.

Managing about 40fps typical, dropping as low as 16fps in stations (rare, mostly 25fps).

I am using an Oculus Rift DK2 and positional tracking does not work. I have upgraded to the latest 0.4.2 SDK and latest firmware.

It used to work fabulous .

Cant really touch the game with all this ugliness, anyone experiencing the same?

You can fix the washed out look in the right hand panel.

Yeah I get the same but to say the game is ugly and preventing you from playing is an insult to the devs mate. One of the most spectacular games I've ever seen and we are still beta.

 

[Dan.]

Music, Spinning Ship and not much else .....Do I need to raise a ticket for this? Standard issue right?

I do.. Cant change ship atleast. Good to know its a general problem

Im not trying to insult anyone, on the contrary, having been playing and enjoying beta1 spectacular visuals, I don't want to spoil discovering all the great new stuff with the current visuals, its just not fair for this great game.

Really? How/Where?

You haven't seen how it looks with the faulty lighting. Not wanting to play like that is not an insult. It's a compliment on how great it looks when the lighting isn't screwed up.

 

[Stressfest]

Finally managed to get in game and it looks amazing.

Issue: Now runs like a slide show. Out in the black it's fine but anywhere near planets, space stations and debris my system grinds to a halt and has crashed a few times. Ran like a dream on 1.06 and the tutorials on Beta 2 were fine also.

Will be a PITA and ticket this also.
