[Maun]

Wish we could get someone to actually clarify if the mining changes have actually made it in. Im hoping its like beta and was just forgotten off the notes!

Servers still down, that's 8 hours and 50 minutes and counting. The estimated down time this morning was 6 hours.

i know just keeping you up to date .

there is someone who cant wait and wants to shoot me for updating the downtime.

That would be me!!

 

[Lily from anim.o.v.e]

I think it just stops us meeting NPC Pirate Anacondas that dont shoot. Had about 5 so far. Just fly round me shouting abuse.....

2 pips on Thrusters,
4 pips on flames.

Yep. Tried. Turned out Panda Antivirus was blocking. Stopped that. tried to install, went all the way to the end, should have completed and then?

ACCESS IS DENIED.

Setup was not completed.

Please correct the problem and run Setup again.

This was after I turned off Panda Antivirus and shut off everything I possibly could before running. Tried normally and as Administrator...

I've had that before. It's trying to overwrite some files in the EDLaunch folder but for some reason they are locked. I fixed it before by logging out of Windows and back in and then manually deleting the files and then running the launcher installer again. EDIT: you might not have to delete the files manually, try it first without doing that to save time.

They removed the estimated downtime on the support site

"The Elite Dangerous servers are currently offline while we upgrade to version 1.4. Patch notes here."

Okay, FYI for anyone who had this problem... it seems that it HAD installed, even though those errors popped up. It never installed a desktop icon, but I had a shortcut already tucked away which I used and confirmed that the launcher is of the right version. Upgrading game now.

Weird...

 

[Rardain]

Waiting...eagerly

 

[Cmdr *Hawk*]

Most companies do it this way.

Short expected downtime = players are happy before the DT.

Better would be this:

Long expected downtime = players are mad but can prepare, and if the servers are online before the time runs out, the players are even happier and will tell the company what good work they did.

Don't know why most companies choose the first option.

I've got a 45 minute drive home from work now (gutted that I'm missing the live stream). Hopefully, when I get home it'll all be up and running...

...fingers and toes crossed...

 

[Pepe]

Thanks for making a good game even better.

I'd appreciate even more if updates would be time scheduled in advance somehow, so I wouldn't waste my happy hours for 6 hours download every time. (bows)

 

[Cmdr *Hawk*]

No, not yet - we may have squeezed just a little too much awesome into the servers and we think we may have blown something. But we'll be right with you...

 

[Arya Stark]

Omg servers still down!!! Gratz E.D! Now go to Horizons!!!! Next update get off my ship!!!! Next gg SC!!! ED > SC =*

 

[Psycho Romeo]

- First phase of mixing weapons, other engines and other weapons. Long term goal is to make combat more exciting and other ships more audible around - commanders, we're doing this in stages across the next few major updates.

Anyone know what this means? Is this the universe crafting modules?

Yeah, We all keep asking but no reply which makes me fear that it's not in.
