If you select solo combat missions, then go back it appears that you connect to another server (or not!) and can select online again.

As before, in-game experience is sub-optimal. Stuck in hyperspace for about 5 mins now.
 
Guys, remember this is a beta. They need to gauge the load on the servers. there is going to be problems until they work out how much power they need. This is the point of a beta.

Interesting though, I see a lot of posts where people are mentioning that they're only reaching a download speed of less than 1.0 mb.

Afraid of trying I just launched anyway and it downloaded the entire game in like 5 minutes.. I was stunned. Reaching 10 to 15 mb/s. :eek:

Sadly, also a red Online button.
 
I'm getting a 503 error in the news section of the launcher now and then get a game failed to communicate with the authentication server when I load it.

a 503 is a capacity error message - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

Basically we're hammering their poor servers too much for them to cope with all at once right now :)

It would be interesting to see some 'post-mortem' stats on how many requests they were getting at the peak of launch once the servers have been stablised - after all these sorts of numbers would be useful in planning capacity for the game-launch traffic spike.
 
I was just getting a red Online button, now I have authentication server errors.

ED folks will get it sorted. Every .0 release has some major glitch that everyone freaks out about and is usually sorted fairly quickly.
 
Not the start I was hopping for,,,,,

You see I have been doing a spot of yoga while waiting and as such am calmly coping with the technical difficulties that are bound to occur.
However if I had tried your approach for the last 5 hours I imagine my frustration levels would be much higher. I suggest you sit down.... just take 5.

True that. Last time we even got a patch within an hour or so... but being almost midnight I really think our champions over at FD are on their way to get some sleep :)
 
Network log now always ends up with
Code:
{00:23:00} New machine:0.0.0.0:0 x 0 Name Unknown
{00:23:00} New machine:REDACTED x 0 Name Unknown
{00:23:00} Start Log for this machine: REDACTED - REDACTED
{00:23:10} Turn State: Resolving
{00:23:10} Turn State: Resolved
{00:23:10} Turn State: Allocating
{00:23:10} STUN server address is 46.137.40.187:3478
{00:23:10} peer: STUN mapped address is 79.220.230.100:64250
{00:23:10} Turn State: Ready
{00:23:10} TURN relay address is 46.137.40.187:44976
then nothing, even no server IP in main menu at all.
 
I had my 5 minutes of fun: flew around another commander, buzzed him 4 or 5 times, rammed him accidentally once :D then tried to dock at Azeban City. After 10 tries or so I got cleared for pad 29, made my way into the station and almost onto the pad, then poof, disconnected and couldn't reconnect since.

But buzzing the other player like an idiot was fun nevertheless. :D
 
stuck at ONLINE for me also.

Oh well ... maybe I'll get an earlier than planned night.

Don't worry everyone .... we'll get an update Soon(tm) that will fix things. Seen this before in the Alpha and FD came up trumps.
