nahh... not really, I'll download, if it runs, great, if not, hey, it'll run tomorrow. I'm sure FD will have some very good reasons for the issues experienced, and lets face it, even the most trip A studios experience these type issues.

Blizzard just updated Overwatch a couple of hours ago. It handled the server load very well. They had to institute a queue in which I had approximately 7,000 players behind to handle the load, but aside from that there were literally no issues. There's ways for it to work. And FDev can scale up their AWS service for a couple of days. They do it irregularly enough to be affordable.

this is a rather major update. i expect some problems but microsoft chose this day to install an update that broke DHCP and needed admin powershell commands to rectify, then it decided to push 1809 at me. so far i have found all the new apps it installed and which you cant uninstall even though you never use them, and all the added settings that violate privacy and are defaulted to on because they are new and they hope you wont notice, and switched them off again.

it remains to be seen if i can again play games because... well typically a feature update uninstalls all the vcredist packages but says they are still installed. and it does same for directx because ms have the strange idea that their all in one small current dx12 installed with win 10 feature updates can mysteriously also pretend to be dx 9 dx 10 and dx 11 and it just cant. so now im going through all the folders in steam apps and clicking the installers for the various versions of vcredist and dx installers...

i ran the launcher for elite. the big area where the galnet news usually is just was a white block.

Umm, have you ever heard of "time zones"? There is no appropriate time of day, bowing to one direction means mooning at the other.

I realize that, but regardless, it still makes the most sense to start the update as early as possible on release day (pick whichever time zone you like), not wait until 9:00 AM of that morning and then do it.

Doesn't it strike you as odd that a company may not wish to spend a lot of extra money for a FREE update just to smooth over the couple-of-hours extreme spike which happens immediately after a release? Everybody whose been through this knows to just chillax and wait until tomorrow.. the galaxy will still be there you know!

According to Steamcharts, today's players number is less than usual peaks. It's not all players, of course, but we can see a tendention - it's not because of "a lot of players in the game"... It's just because some code-whriters has claws instead of hands. And you know, for those who play ED because of exploration and records, tomorrow galaxy will be different. Tomorrow opportunities will be lost.

LIES!!!! The patch notes are lies! Worst than cake.

Elephant Butt Leather are alive and well in this update, in fact it looks worse than before thanks to the new saturated coloring system!

FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL :(

Geez Louise! DWE2 is a month away. Issues on patch day are normal. -EVERYBODY- is hammering the servers right now. Give it a couple of days for things to settle down and, if necessary, for FDev to make some tweaks. Although personally I'd have scheduled DWE2 for Feb or something; holidays are coming up, it's a BIG patch, there are bound to be some issues requiring a minor patch update. But not my call.

Anyway, just relax!

Indeed; we are not <insert mmorpg> players, we are mature.

Controllers/Inputs

  • Fixed the Thrust Master HOTAS S4 not appearing in the control screen
    Ensure default mappings appear for the Thrustmaster HOTAS4

  • This update completely wiped out the mappings for my HOTAS 4. Why are there no options to "Reset to Default Settings" in order to get all that back?

Ok this Texan almost spit his beer over that line. Well done!

The universe is 13 billion years old, folks. I think it will still be there tomorrow.

Most trip A have lots of problem worst than that....
I'm sure DEVs are having a lot of fun fixing that problem and I beleave on them.
But I dont beleave that the problem is "a lot of player hammering the servers".....

Well, lets wait. I sure I will wait less time here in Elite than the guys that want to play Star Citzen, lol!

Honestly? At this point i'd be in favor of rolling back to the previous version. As far as i can tell FDev has yet again failed to fix bugs that have been in the game for years, at this point, in addition to not honoring feedback they got in reagrds to the scanner, the exploration/scanner module cop-out (yeah, pretty convenient way to never have to touch those again with all those snowflake explorers that might have to go back to the bubble if new modules were to get introduced), the not-at-all convient inclusion of Three.Different.Mining.Modules among other things. Yeah, but at least we can buy black Mamba&Krait skins.

Yeah, i guess the F in FDev doesn't stand for frontier after all.

Wonderful...

I was one of the first who flew into Shinrarta Dezhra... Opened the system map - only 3 bodies scanned and mapped! "That's my chance to write my name into the history!" - I thought. But no - disconnect. Trying to log in again and again - no luck. Then finally I did it. Look at the system map again - some more bodies already scanned and mapped. "Well, ok, I still have a chance...". Choose some body, fly to it, mapped with probes... DISCONNECT! More 15 minutes of logging. "I'm ok, I'm cool, just relax, breath deeply..." Logged in again - and now almost all bodies scanned and mapped!! "Ok, I still can sell scan data at the station and put my name on that small rocky body!" Fly to the Jameson Memorial, exit the supercruise... GUESS WHAT NEXT! Of course... Another hundred attempts to log in, and when I finally did it and opened the system map - ALL BODIES ARE SCANNED AND MAPPED! Great! Amazing! I'm so happy, FDevs, that someone could fly, scan and sell data while I tried to log in and looked at that spinning ship model again and again... That's so cool!!! THANK YOU, FDEVS!

You announced this date... You had to prepare to this properly. But you didn't! Failed... Thank you again, dear FDevs, for a big portion of disapointment and wasted evening... Oh, and don't forget to make a hundreds more paintjobs and decals for "brand new ships"! It's more important than stability of game...

Have a good night.

Wow... I didn't realise there were prizes for scanning already existing systems. Did I miss that? It's so unfair that half the population is asleep right now missing their chance to scan planets and get their name on them...
