News Elite Dangerous 2.3 The Commanders Incoming

Works fine for me. Some quickie impressions:

Faster loads! Yay!

I wasn't expecting to just suddenly get booted into other ships randomly. I thought you could browse cmdrs or something.

Why my cmdr mini portrait looking down and to the side? Is there an incredibly interesting frog on my knee or something? This is a terrible angle for portraits.

What's the ship ID? Is that like a license plate/tail number?

Free camera bindings, ugh.
 
Based on my last month of Entrepreneur level trading income, it seems hauling mission rewards has been nerfed. As an ally of all factions at my home base (Morris Enterprise) I was getting a few delivery jobs for 1,000,000 plus credits. Those level of profits have disappeared and have been replaced with similar jobs for around 300,000. Sure glad I amassed enough to get an Asp X, FDL and Python before the nerf bat hit. ;)
 
After 2 months of beta, i have to thumb UP FDev for this incredible 2.3 fail.

Thanks for this new broken stuff
Thanks for breaking the old stuff
Thanks for all the new bugs without fixing old ones

I am genuinely a little jealous. I am now locked out of Horizons content and I suppose grateful that Ai can get in at all through the base game. I hate the user interface changes and am finding it very difficult to play at all.
 
Fast download and no problems playing in VR.

Only one issue with game play . Im not sure if this is a bug or deliberate nerf so I thought it wise to report it to FD.

So when are we going to get some clientside hotfixes for the bugs...namely the System Map, and GalMap? I suppose I shouldn't hold my breath on that one though considering they have known about it and had a month and a half to fix it, and have been unable to...

Those two bugs are absolutely devastating to the game. If they don't hotfix them in the next few days I'll ... no, I don't want to say ... there's enough negativity around here without me adding to it ... please PLEASE fix them FD!

With how late in the day it is now, it seems unlikely we will see a hot fix released today. Tomorrow is Good Friday followed by Easter weekend, so that diminishes the probability of anything before next week. Yes, I know I could be wrong, but playing the probability game, a hot fix seems unlikely for at least several more days. That means this bug in particular would have been in the live build for essentially a week. Yes, your use of the word devastating is wholly applicable here. The thing that most concerns me at this point is given that this bug has already existed for a month and a half, maybe they simply don't know how to fix it?

Well, when I change a bit of code and then test the effects of that change, if it breaks things then I surround my changes thus ...

#if 0 // this code broke the galaxy map and made stars look like pepperoni

sucky code
sucky code
sucky code

#endif

Perhaps they could try that?

Oops, I wasn't going to be negative. I'm off to eat chocolate for four days. :p

On another note...have you tried the SRV wave scanner yet? And is it actually working correctly now?

I had the same issue but Ive found if I quit the game from the dashboard then loaded it back up and that seemed to solve that problem.

Managed to get it working. Not FDs fault. There was some sneaky hocus pocus going on with my amd drivers. Took me all morning but it's working now. Even got myself an ugly hollow me representation (all too accurate) of myself. I'll do a bit of testing later but for now things are ok and I have access again.
 
This is really unfortunate. A friend and I tried to get the turrets working and despite attempts at setting the key mappings it wouldnt work. This is bad for you ED. You shouldn't have released this before it was working properly with a How To and bug free. Of course the Avatar Store is up and running. Epic Fail ED.
