the maintenance is not over yet. I'm not in the game yet. It's funny that it doesn't say anywhere how long it takes

Concur; guess I was in a void and did not get the 30 min warning - all good if they can fix it. Should be doing something else anyway, but PowerPlay chores must be done first.

The old Status indicator on the support page is MIA. The advice to check it on the top right of the page is still present tho ....

OK so I have just spent 2 hours checking this "work around" and can confirm.

Deleting the file fsave_optionsXXX in %APPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options lets the game run with no problems - BUT:

then exiting and starting again produces the CTD crash within minutes of starting the game.

So - workaround of deleting that file EVERY TIME you want to start the game, allows the game to run normally.

What on earth causes this as a result of server maintenance yesterday? ¯\(ツ)/¯

BTW - I believe @sallymorganmoore has already passed on this information to the devs.

FWIW, I wonder why that file is in /Roaming while the rest is in /Local as usual. Not bothering with HexEdit right now, too.

Btw, there are three Frontier Folders in /Local now:

All of them are used, #2 seems to be superseded by #3, but contains a file specs.xml still.

And Windows updates can be ruled out in my case, the last one was on August 8th, except Defender updates.

Server Status: Good

Does it ever go to "Better" or "Best"

Not so good? Really bad?

Or is just supposed to make you feel... Good?

It's a manual switch and a motivational message in the first place IMHO. Nice the servers feel good though they're actually down. Unluckily, the label is too short, so it doesn't display the second half, 'Good' is static because we all think positive. Could be anything ;)

Examples: enum ServerStates { EVENING, GRIEF, RIDDANCE, YOU_NAME_IT }

Looks like they are making changes, bringing the servers online, shutting them down and repeat the process. Guess I'll wait awhile before testing as once I'm in the servers go down again. I'm updating info on my first post #32 on page 2.

Dang, server maintenance was to add skins lol
On a more serious note, I am still unable to get in game, well, it starts but does not make it past 75-85% “prepping planet generation system” then the game crashes. I have sent in multiple crash reports xD
