Patch Notes Update Beta 3.9 Change log

[Rocktopper]

Wow, that's a lot of changes. Kind of curious about this one.

- Replace some potentially offensive station names

Was this one of them?

 

[Equlibrum]

Great work Frontier, as always.

Nice to have some solid gameplay fixes.
Can't wait for Gamma and official release.

Michael, did the planet surfaces has been improved even more in this patch?

 

[Cmdr. Gabe Bars]

Sorry - you won't get there just yet.

Michael

Oh boy... and I was trying to get there for days. :'( (but I'm not even close, to say the truth )

 

[Badd Mongo]

I can't see any mention of the Python or Orca ships in patch notes. I was under the impression they would be in Beta 3.9 update from Newsletter #50, or am I missing something?

 

[Steve50]

Michael, thanks for all the hard work, I'm blown away by all the new stuff and tweaks.

one question:- I didn't read it in that list but are we going to get a way to mark/tag mined asteroids so we don't get confused which we've already mined. You know, when you get to my age and your memory will be bad too

 

[sbdags]

I'm struggling to find any information in the notes about any fixes for the stuttering, freezing around planets since Beta3. Has this been addressed?

See this here

- Greatly reduced the execution time for the texture generations in all planet types

 

[DoctorDanny]

Impressive list of changes there Michael. Much more than I expected TBH.

I look forward to playing tomorrow.

 

[Milky82]

fab set of updates, however noticed there still no space unicorns or performing balrogs, come on FD pull your socks up

 

[knowles2]

Those additions are frankly, underwhelming, and less than I had expected.


Didn't you say we'd get wings with this update? And background sim? Guess who's wrong.

Background sim from the 50th launch letter sound like it going to start on Saturday with rumours about a emperor being ill being the trigger.


Saturday will probably be another huge lists of bugs being squash and features being added as well.

 

[Tihor]

Is that all?? What have you been doing all this time

 

[rich_hard1]

Good luck with that memmech

 

[Sams]

See this here

Ooohhh I really hope this at least reduces it. Well spotted!

 

[Shayde]

Bounces around the room...which is not good at my age. For goodness sake, I'm in my 50s....haven't felt like this since I was a kid. God knows what I'm gonna be like on Saturday when I can start for real.


Oh, I would REALLY like to know if there's gonna be another wipe between pre-release (gamma) and release on the 16th Dec BTW (hope not)....me and the rest of the world LOL.

 

[Leto Atreides]

Amazing amount of changes

Now it sounds selfish but having read through I'm not sure if there is something about the issues people were getting with stutter in SC near planets, when being interdicted or coming out of FS?

Anyone see anything?

- Greatly reduced the execution time for the texture generations in all planet types

 

[Acid Twin]

Still no group hyperspace, supercruise and interdiction?
Disappointed to be honest. That's the one feature the game needs ASAP, as in right now.

Loving whats here but gotta agree on that one.

 

[rootsrat]

Impressive and well worth the wait Compliments to the team!

 

[Lazlo Woodbine]

- Bring back separate Hyperspace/Supercruise keys; the context-sensitive key is still there too

Another small change for the good!

 

[CMDR RaoulDuke]

Awesome list. So exactly how big is the play area now, or do I have to wait and see?

 

[Hydrino]

Really looking forward to this update with all the fixes and polish for what we have. I still don't see the build as available though. Is it coming tonight?

Thanks FD for keeping up the hard work.
