I did back the game via Kickstarter, but at the time I didn't select beta. I just upgraded to beta at the first day when it started and I noticed updates everyday for the first week. But no update since? I didn't follow the alpha and pre-beta so I don't know how often updates and hot fixes are issued. I do have a DK2 and AMD CPU without SSE 4.1 so I'm waiting on update to be able to fully use my DK2. How often should I expect updates? And did your guys receive your DK2 already or are you still waiting?
Thanks,
Markus

Their build release strategy is release big build with things they want us to play and test with, then release few patch fix releases to get version stable. After that they continue to work on next big build. And then everything repeats.

So DK2 works already, but with new SDK you will need Beta 2. We will know soon enough when it will come.

PB1 - end of May
PB2 - end of June
SB1 - end of July
SB2 - end of Aug or beggining of Sep.
It's a holiday period though, so the SB2 may slip up well into September. There were no accouncements of any dates so far, only the huge workload, so it's a wild guess.

I bet theres a release coming this week. For stabilization at least, maybe with some new content. But its really unstable now.

After I start the installer, I am getting a missing/corrupt ntxx.dll (xx is something else but i can't remember). Is there anywhere else I can download this from?

Realistically half of the staff will have had their holidays by end of July, the other half probably during August. So beginning of September sounds doable for a Beta 2 release but it all depends on the amount of new content and functionality they want to deliver with that release.

An update this week? I highly doubt that. If anything, I believe this week's newsletter will contain the planned release date for Beta 2. I would not be surprised if they're giving themselves a bit more time though. My guess is first or second week of September.

Unless they're REALLY surprisingly fast and suddenly drop a huge amount of new stuff into our laps. But that's wishful thinking.

As we're onto conjecture...

I don't think we'll be seeing any new functionality for at least a few weeks. as above, stability is still quite an issue and adding more functionality and content into an already unstable(ish) code-base could be disasterous.

Best to get rock solid (or KNOW why you're not) before moving forward... at least in my opinion.

Am I the only one having problems downloading this upgrade?

It's updating from the single player only version of ED (haven't had much chance to play it :eek:)

there isn't a single player only version of elite, just the one version available.
but by the sounds of it, its your ISP that would be the issue. have you hit your download limit?

i think 'single player only' refers to the alpha combat build the standard beta's got just before the actual beta was released.

beta 2 i think will be this weekend. Seeing how unstable this is right now, im surprised they haven't said they're intentions now since Gamescom is over

I don't think the game is unstable for everyone. I manage to play for hours without crashes sometimes. Yes, I do still get CTD and hangs, but not very often. There was a big improvement for me going from Beta 1.00 to Beta 1.03 in 3 days.

Not sure we'll see Beta 2 this week, but hopefully some updates/tweaks maybe. Hope I'm wrong and Beta 2 is this week though :p

My main issues seem to be

freezing entering hyperspace - requiring a task manager client close

Occasional CTD - not really an issue anymore

Hat switch (Saitek X52) does not work when docked when panning view

Aulin station sometimes has trigger happy security - esp when you have a full cargo of Progenitor Cells - happened twice when clean with no infractions

Also have relatively frequent network disconnects, - but have no other network issues.

1.03 does seem to be otherwise stable though. ( at least for me)

freezing entering hyperspace - requiring a task manager client close: This seems to happen to me ONLY in the Anaconda, it doesn't happen on any other ship. It has been a reported issue with the Anaconda only, theres about a 75% chance the game will not crash when exiting hyperspace/framspace in the anaconda.

Aulin station sometimes has trigger happy security - esp when you have a full cargo of Progenitor Cells - happened twice when clean with no infractions: Issue I have had with Aulin is the strange bug of loading into the instance/scene inside the station and having shields/hull blow up or drop on you. Again only has happened on the Anaconda and all other ships seem to be clean of whatever bugs ail the 'Conda.

That is not only just an Anaconda thing. Hyperspace freezing happened to me with all the ship types i owned yet. Sidewinder, Hauler, Lakon T6, Cobra.

Are those courier missions new or did I just not see them before today?

You've been snoozing :D
They've been there since the start of standard beta and they're great fun (although not as profitable as trading).
But since a game is all about having fun I do play them when I need a break from trading
