Something I noticed for some time now is Frontier's apparent approach addressing issues by not fixing the underlying root cause but the symptoms (at least that's how it looks like to me as an outsider). Cosmetics items piece-meal and by popular demand only, lighting, gamma issues, and so forth. Which seems to cause unforseen consequences elsewhere and isn't helped by their current patch testing/rollout procedure - still would love to know how things like the interdiction UI ended up moved to the far edge of the screen just like that, and best of all nobody noticed this until players started to raise it as an issue.
I'm not here to bash Frontier, I just want my favourite game to work properly.
The problem is, until those making the decisions see the consequences of releasing a poor product it will keep on happening. I love ED to bits but its getting progressively harder and harder to love the project because silly mistakes keep on culminating into catastrophic release issues.
And that could be an achievable goal if the company in charge would try a bit harder looking where things go wrong internally, and nip those in the bud. They'd spend less time fixing unforced errors, players have a better quality game, happiness all round.
This would be a great thing!
We'll see how patch 9 is being delivered and what unexpected 'surprise features' that comes with...
Might be helpful if you clearly outline what those 'issues' are and if they have an issue report, reference that too.. you'll have a higher chance of getting it looked at then. Telling the CM what the problem is in the first place is likely your most important step!
No worries phone crashed halfway through lost track of where I was but basically the blue tunnel issue cheers
You can add your blue tunnel reports over here if they involved a crash to desktop! (they usually do) CMs been looking for instances of such for a focused delve into the problem. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...p-console-crash-instances-over-coffee.592735/
Cheers buddy have added a couple to there already was wandering if they still wanted them though, haven't been on in a while and not to be negative but it will crash at least once at some point lol
Snot for the console players

SAye - when doing the automatic “Matching Issues” search for a new report, my previous one will show up if you have “SRV shadows” in the title, but not “SRV shadow”Weird, it didn't show up when I searched.
Done.
Sad but true, this needs to be addressed.
Yeah, there are a few places where a mouse is currently required in order to be able to scroll (but just to get the focus into the relevant UI element, no need to click with the mouse).
