Sadly every patch now seems to make the game less and less stable
Yeah. It's a similar experience for me and my mates IRL who play.
-long load times coming out of supercruise
-jarring load time when approaching target
-jerky hyperspace
- all of those things (maybe bar hyperspace) seem to be that not enough intelligent pre-loading is going on. i.e. you're approaching a target, you've got it selected, you're ready to leave supercruise and
then it loads the necessary - rather than before.
If you abort or change target then your client could then ditch the data - but hey...
Other stuff that's seemed to get worse in the last patch is missions auto-failing (or timing out before they should), performance in some star systems (eg. Dahan) dropping by about half (feels like flying through treacle) and inability to undock sometimes (or waiting 1min+ to undock)...
