Patch Notes Update CQC Update (1.4) Beta Build Incoming

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
Everything sounds phenomenal, and I cannot wait for the full release of the 1.4 patch.

I didn't read everyone's posts, but I am sure many of you caught onto the "rare bug that causes stations to explode and then respawn". Does that mean that potentially down the road we will have the ability to attack and destroy stations? I mean if the station explodes, even if it is now a bug, that suggests that there is coding that stations can be damaged and destroyed. Sounds like something interesting in the far future of the game if attacking stations is an intended update at some point.

What is the name of the system where i can buy everything?

If you are referring to all of the ships and modules, then it is the Founder's World, which you can use that search term in the Galaxy navigation search query. However, you need to be a Founder or have reached the rank of Elite in any of the three Pilot Federation Ranking. Access also affords a good percentage off from the purchases of ships and modules. I read 8% and 10%, but when I spec'ed out my Anaconda there I spent 420 million on a 475 million build.
 
Not intrested in the CQC next update please.

This was my view when it was announced, and all the focus in the newsletters and dev updates was getting quite annoying.

And then I played it!

It's great fun!

A nice change from the usual gameplay. Hop in - pew pew - hop back out.

Nice one ED. Thank you.

They are most likely talking about destroying the station object in RAM. Not a "real" station destruction.

CQC

So you know me as an Explorer more or less...

I just tried out CQC for a couple of Death Matches and I hereby declare it to be officially awesome!

Man what an adrenaline rush - haven't felt like that for a while :D

Thanks FDEV :)
 
Don't want to sound like a troll but the download speed bar sometimes shows an impossible speed: >2 MB/sec where 1MB/sec is definitely max on my connection. If it would be all the time it would be pure voodoo. Anyway, I don't complain as downloads are always very good for me.


The download rate is based on an equivalent rate of download speed according to the files being downloaded/patched or left alone. When you see the download speed above your usual internet download speed, it just means it's leaving a bunch of existing game files on your PC as-is.

Thanks Frontier! What a changelog...! Love the attention to details, especially in the audio department. So many tiny fixes - but the devil is in the details. Looking forward to trying it out!
 
I can play the beta just fine but a friend of mine can't login after starting the game, he just gets the message "your account is not reachable".

Is that because he bought the Lifetime pass just today? Will it be working tomorrow or what is the issue here?
 
So, this is kind of cruel, not knowing what's going on.

1) Is any one else having issues with their launcher not prompting/providing the 1.4 update on PC?

2) Is anyone on XB1 getting the update? The change log mentions fixes for the XB1, therefore you'd expect an update when you first fire up ED.

Thanks for any info, even if I'm not to get these updates for whatever reason knowing this is better than not knowing it.

I have no issue submitting a bug report but I don't know if this is a thing or not..
 
Had a quick go and it was a blast! :):cool:

Sadly I need to prep some things for work tomorrow now and don't have any more time tonight...stupid work! :(
 
Do you need to download a new launcher or something? I'm getting no option to install the Beta, and the launcher download from zaonce.net is exactly the same as the last launcher (0.4.2854.0).
 
Ok, so not read all 22 pages, so i apologise if this has be answered already, but:
"Speculative fix for some stuttering in supercruise seen on Win10 machines with AMD graphics cards"
Is this a possible fix for the low FPS in SC the latest AMD graphics driver in Windows 10 was causing.
As posted here in the bugs report thread.

not getting option, last response I had from support, said CQC option would appear in launcher very soon (2 hrs ago), but if it doesn't by tomorrow evening to get back in touch. Can wait another day I guess :(
