Patch Notes Update Elite Dangerous: Horizons patch 2.0.04

[mono]

Thanks for confirming and explaining. Nice of FD to do that but nevermind, it only broke the RP side of my game *rolleyes*

(Too many posts to quote them all.)

There's a new player minor faction that has been implemented in Phekda. The Phekda Society (from which you were supposed to get the permit) lost the control of the system to that new faction. Afaik the outcome was that you had no chance at all to get the permit at this time. That's why Frontier had to remove the permit.

BB doesn't load properly for me either

You need to go out to main menu then go in again. The BB should be displaying after.

Here's a list of long standing stuff that has never been fixed:

Exited to desktop, back in now with missions in place Edit: Only in Solo, not any other modes... Will have to move to another station and see if that fixes it!

Moved from Sothis to Ceos in group (Mobius), no change on BB. No missions at all, completely empty.

Edit: Tried re-logging in Open and Solo, no luck, no missions at all.

Nothing on the BB in my private group too.

BB was there for me in open after 3rd log then gone again seems to be intermittent

Player factions...still screwing up the galaxy.

Npc mission spam is improved?

It's up!

Server side still Upgrading .....

It's live but the bulletin board is broken - shows no missions. Maybe it's a fix because the mission payouts were an offence anyway :]

No, the status in the launcher is just wrong (not up to date).

The BB takes time to repopulate an update. It's always like that.

I still have ED and ED;H installed together.
ED patch is 142.8MB
ED:H patch is 73.5MB

Looks like ED got more love than ED: H!

It's a shame I'm at work and my 4G is failing me...
4G. 100kb/sec download.

Nice one EE!

 

[ErichZann]

From the patch notes I was hoping there were some improvements to instancing, but no... Was in a system with 3 other players, dropped and directly re-entered supercruise -> empty instance

 

[Henri]

any shipyards, new ships, comets, gfx improvements, orbital installations, shipyards & factories, galactic phenomena?
guess i'll go back to sleep


it's great that all the bugs get fixed AFTER the paid BETA process (?!?!?!!?)

FD - this is a very good topic. You have wasted a lot of effort on things we , the players did not want [ CQC especially]
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=227566 - these should be fixed before anything else is done. Adding a spoiler to a broken car won't make it go faster :]

Btw - Our minor faction was not in the "batch"...We were waiting for this for a month.

 

[DaSucker]

BB doesn't load! Same here!

Does this also fix the connection issues experienced by BT HomeHub 3 users (and others whose routers couldn't handle an MTU of 1500) who had been getting regular disconnection since the final 1.4 patch? I know we've had a work-around, but a fix would be awesome....

This fix in 2.0.04 is for cases where the player-to-player connection is affected by a reduced MTU: in some cases full-sized 1500-byte packets were being sent to players who could not receive them, causing failure to see each other's ships.

I think the problem you're referring to is where the traffic to/from the webserver fails because the HTTP traffic to the webserver exceeds the router's MTU. As far as I understand, it may still be necessary to override the network settings to tell it to use a smaller mtu. We're continuing to work on this, and we're experimenting with using the cURL library instead of WinHTTP, to see if this helps: this change may be included in v2.1

Well i'll see you in 2.1 then...

Didn't help, even restarted the game. But I did my few remaining quests an now it's working again. I guess just waiting a few mins solved it.
