Can I just say Wings is working REALLY well in this update. I still need to test a few things on my list but last night was fantastic.
 
Ok, it seems only myself and one other user (so far) has noticed, and taken offence to one of the new SFX. Generally, the sound is much improved, as is the overall performance of the game...but this sound, this overpowering little sound is absolutely doing my sweed in. I dont know what it's signifying, it happens radomnly it seems, sometimes happening every 2-3 seconds. Ive captured it in the below vid @45 seconds, and throughout the video....please, can anyone find in the changelog(I cant) what this new SFX is???? That way, at least I could pettion ED for it to be changed. Cheers commanders.

The plopping sound indicates a new or a lost contact on the radar. It's driving me mad...

Why? I seriously don't get it. You don't have to play it, you can just ignore it!

For some people (me included) it is a major immersion breaker. Funny, but it bothering me more than exploration data problem (I was lucky because I returned to inhabited space and sold data just a few hours before update) or interdiction changes.
And I am not talking about CQC mini-game itself (which is fun thing in my opinion) but actually a reference to it in status screen of main game.
 
I run an all AMD system, FX8350, Radeon 280X and I used to have stutters, but with 1.4 all stutters are gone, so great patch works very well. :)
 
Apparently, according to a comment on my vid, its the sound of a collector drone grabbing something...but if thats the case, FD really need to reballance the levels...it's FAR too loud atm
 
I run AMD system, everything was crisp and clear before update, now with same exact settings, stations glitter/shimmer/jitter (don't know how to describe well sorry) but quality is definitely worse. FPS seems similar if not same. Did the GPU requirements go up with update? I didn't change anything, but quality is different. Las month when i bought the game, i adjusted reflection quality and things got clearer with less glare but that doesn't seem to make a difference now. What should i try tweaking to resolve this and get a nice looking game again. It's playable but immersion/realistic feel is gone.

Thanx

Great Work Guys! Now bounty hunting is finally fun again - and on top, you can now gain real money from it! Perfect work! This will up my playtime considerably
 
Well mine only showed up since 1.4 :(

In 1.4 we're seeing the 10 CR repair fee showing on the main Starport Services summary, but in 1.3 I was already seeing a 10 CR charge for Paintwork which I couldn't pay to remove. (Paintwork showing as 99%. Could change it to 100% but couldn't repair.)

It remained there even after clicking on Repair All on the home screen.
 
OK, I am confused.. sorry but how do you access this CQC? I see nothing on the launcher... Can someone confirm my friend with an Xbone can play with me on a PC?


How do you do this?

NVM, i found it in the main start menu ingame now... But can someone confirm if my friend with the Xbone can play with me on the PC?

Any idea when there would be Crossfire support? I have 2*6990 and currently only able to use 25% of the GPU power... somewhat annoying.
 
I am also hatting the changes to interdiction. Please change it back. It now seems impossible to avoid being interdicted, and at the same time, interdicting other ships seems very hard. I guess I am going to lose my 5* power play rating, I wish you guys had rolled a change like this out at the beginning of a week, so much waste time as it seems I have no chance to get the 2000 merits I need now

Also when you repair your ship 10cr of damage cannot be fixed.

Pretty sure that is the collector limpet SFX.

Same thing for me paint was showing showing 88% in the repair menu before (which I could live with), but now I have that 10c repair all that will not go away and it annoys the hell out of me.

That's not possible at the moment. We share the galaxy state, but we are not able to see each other in it (PC/Mac and Xbox)
 
I think they've pushed the interdiction difficulty level up way too high. I haven't been able to avoid one yet and then we are talking about some stupid little ship that doesn't stand a chance..this really shouldn't happen. No human player flying a viper or the like would interdict a python and threaten them even if he/she was Elite. I thought the whole point of ai was to make decisions based on human behavior or at least intelligent behavior.
 
I am dismayed by this change!!
I have been interdicted EVERY time between Ackerman and Cleve Hub this evening BUT WORSE THAN THAT I found it IMPOSSIBLE to evade interdiction usong the Escape Vector.
Previous to this update I have managed on most occasions to use the Escape Vector to evade interdiction BUT NOW it is IMPOSSIBLE!!
PLEASE go back to the previous settings where the battle was tough and could last a while but escape was achievable!
The new setting is NOT fair and is now weighted for to much in favour of the interdictor

Interdiction was a bit on the easy side before (99% success rate), but this seems to be a bit of an over-correction, now you have to work hard to win 1 in 5, I have tested as both the aggressor or the defending player.
