Holy crap....only just seen the changelog.....that's insane! And to think people were moaning about a few hours delay!!
 
Started downloading the update 2 mins before the official post, only got to 25% so far, bandwidth is not my issue. At least I'm in Australia and have the rest of the day to update and then play. Can't wait based on the patch notes, amazing list of changes.

While I wait I look forward to early players impressions, if you're already in give us all the gossip :p
 
I just got on for a bit and WOW, I am impressed. So cool to start out on one of those outposts. And LOADS more missions. I didn't run into any bugs, but I was only on for about a half hour because I got the comms message that the galaxy server was rebooting.

I hope to be able to play later.

It appears that I can't connect to the server now. I wonder how long rebooting takes?
 
Servers a bit flaky at the moment, much as expected.

But wow... how to make the galaxy come alive. I just wasn't expecting the in-system stuff. Orbitals around minor lumps of rock with their own missions and so on. And I've barely scratched the surface.

Great work Frontier. Thanks.
 
Thanks, Frontier! :cool:

Big pat on the back. I would crack a cold one in honour of you, except it's Ocsober now :D

Just got my Saitek X-55 today as well.

Kinda like Christmas for me. Or even better! :cool:

As always, love your work.


mmmmm...plate tectonics.... :cool:

I thought I would have found my Cobra but it starts all over again with the Sidewinder and 1000cr (It normal right?)
...

Yup, full wipe for beta 2, except combat stats, as far I've seen, and I agree with it tbh: we are supposed to be testers, and with all the changes they have implemented in Beta 2 (I'm still amazed, gj FD! :)), it's much better to test player game progression again from scratch eh? so that we can get the best and most balanced final release as possible!

PS: I miss my Annie, couldn't fly her too much as yet, but it's much better like this for everybody! :)

For anybody having issues getting stuck at 25%, restart your computer, worked for me when I first installed and worked again when updating to beta 2.
 
Had a few crashes and start option is now red and I can't access the game proper at all so went into training mode (Travel) and there it is obvious the brightness or gamma is much too high which is causing the bright sky and simplistic looking planets etc.
It may something more complex but it seems we all have the same issue so unlikely to be drivers etc.

Or are some people getting good graphics and dark sky instead of the really bright washed out look like contrast and brightness are turned up?
 
All that wait and work for....

Nothing. FD, you guys should have just stopped at quitting time and gone home as planned. All that hard work and half your players can not do jack.

No point in waiting around for a quick fix. At this rate most wont be able to play and test for a couple of weeks.

Will check back at launch I suppose. The last patch was a nightmare too. Launch is not looking so smooth.
 
Speechless...

Been playing beta 2 for a couple of hours in the Oculus DK2. It was already an amazing experience but this is something else. It's gone from fleeting moments of presence for me to full immersion. New menus are much better, zero stuttering even in stations, super smooth head tracking and it looks just beautiful. The text is even easier to read. Must sleep now though it's a bit late in the UK ;)

Incredible job, thank you
 
I get a near freeze.

I can never get into open game or solo game. I can get the scenario's to load but basically my machine is pulled to a complete crawl. Everything stops for a couple of seconds then moves for a brief moment then stops again. Sound is stuttering.
My day off exploring is looking doomed. I'm switching to my 'B' machine and will see what happens there.

Have you update the launcher?
you have to be in 0.3.1395.0 with your launcher. If not, click on "Beta 1.06 Now Released" to Dl a new launcher installer. and then you'll be able to upgrade after install it.

Yup that's all done... it went through the verification process again and now when I click the UPGRADE button it uninstalls the launcher!
 
Holy. Crap.

You guys must have your own cappuccino machine to support all those coding changes.

Such a cool project, I wish I could be one of your system admins. :) Oh well, next best thing is to play the game. C'mon sweet download!
 
Absolutely Jaw Dropping!!!

You are definately living up to this old fellas dream that was started with the original Elite!
