3 hours flying around this morning, loving the new 'little' stations, great to pick up little hauling jobs or 'messages' to deliver for a few thousand credits!

Excellent job guys, well done on fixing the majority of issues and giving us back such a great game
 
Hi guys,

Really glad to see that people are enjoying (able to play) beta 2.03.

If you're still having problems, keep logging tickets. We're still looking at everything that comes through, and we're still passing on everything we find in the forums. The team are still working hard on fixes and further updates.

Thanks again Cmdrs.

Great to hear, thanks for the update. Greetings to the whole team, you all did an amazing job the last days!
 
I downloaded the new patch late last night and managed to HJ & SC for the first time since B2. Went to bed and when I awoke this morning I had a quick look and the game was still connected. Made another quick SC and it worked perfectly.

I left my Sidewinder hidden in an asteroid field near Beagle2Landing fully loaded with cargo. Can't wait to see if I am still connected when I get home tonight.

Great job at the B2.03 patch. Seems to have fixed my issues. Will do lots more testing over the weekend. Can't wait to see all the new features!

errr I think you should be worried if your ship is still there. I am sure some peeps will be looking for you and your cargo.

I have to say I am well impressed. Apart from the odd crash its looking great. Graphics are amazing on highest settings. did have a issue when someone landed on more spot and then the station fired on me lol

I hope DB gives you all Monday off.

One suggestion: for the next patch, either give only one hour's notice, or give an exact release time with several hours notice, if you're confident it will be in releasable shape by then. This will reduce the stress level in here and free you up to do more important things than crowd control.
 
Can't play the game when there are no goods to trade or to complete missions

Not all the space docks have commodities, look in the system map to find the bigger space stations as the smaller outposts are more basic.

Alternatively have a look at the galaxy map and turn on trade routes to see what is being traded where you are, arrows coming out of a system generally show there are goods being produced and exported, the more arrow traces, the better as the goods will be cheaper.

From what I've seen in the short time I've had ingame, every station has a bulletin board with loads of missions to cater for everyone, are you sure you're looking in the right place?
 
I must say this version is the most stable one for me. I wasnt able to play 1.0 - 1.3 as it permanently crashed when entering or exiting hyperspace. This seems to be fixed for me now.
 
They also indicate very bright stars.

Can we please have the fuzzy halos back for very bright starts, instead of those children's drawings twinkly stars? :D ;)

It looked so much better and less cartoony before. The best solution woud be an option to choose in the graphics menu.

I can't speak for the Earlier Beta 2 releases as I never had the time to play them But Beta 2.03 works perfectly for me. The old judders are still there when exiting supercruise / hyperspace and they seem to have been joined by some judders during supercruise but otherwise it's working fine.

It is amazing and hopefully Frontier can get everyone accessing soon.
 
Played almost the whole night away in a childish glee.
Best looking and managed beta I've ever participated in.
Well done Frontier!

Got to say I'm getting slightly antsy about this one... Other than the occasional transient graphics issues, this is IMO the only really big immersion-breaker in the game, and it doesn't seem to be going away any time soon :(

Not sure if it's something they're just leaving until later in the beta process to tweak, or if it's just the harsh reality of a mostly peer-to-peer networking model.
 
2.03 is a lot more stable, but I have noticed that I see way less players around since we got Beta 2. In part this is probably due to people running off into the unknown and that scanners now are changed, but I would still expect to see more people around at least Eranin. Right now it's pretty much empty for me. I tried clearing the friends list to see if that would simplify matchmaking for the server, but nope...still pretty desolated.

In supercruise I've only come across maybe 3-4 players while in Beta 1 I could see upwards 12-14. Around a station I've once again seen maybe 3-4 players at most in Beta 2 while in Beta 1 there where at least twice that.

Let's see what happens this weekend when more people go online.
 
As my crash reports haven´t got through for some reason (and I cant locate CrashReport.zip I were told to find in ticket system), I post them here.

Have played many hours, 3 major crashes that Crash Reporter have picked too, first when dropping out of SC, second happened when exiting station and dodging AI that seemed to have no hurry after pass station opening, 3rd were when I had been stucked in jump for some time, and closed client (not cntrl+alt+del).

No other major bugs I could have replicated yet, for some reason my PC seems to drop FPS and almost overheat when staying idle in Hangar (and Station Services there, once in 2.03 even a short visit to Hangar for Outfitting caused me to have terrible FPS and stuttering screen until I had entered jump long from station), but I have had my PC working hard in Hangar since Alpha I think, maybe it´s demanding environment. No problems pretty much ever at Surface.

Bugs that I were not able to replicate, I have seen also Azeban planet to flip on other side of Azeban Orbital when I were idle at Surface, had my head look turned towards the planet, after couple minutes I look up to screen again, planet has disappeared and is on other side of my ship. Also I had some "warnings" (audio/visual) withouth reason last night (need to investigate that further with pen and paper).

Said it before in this thread, but again: Great work FD! :)
 
Tinman, have you tried joining Mobius group? it's non-PVP (by policy) other than in Faction battles...I came across quite a few players last night around Dahan 3.
