Greetings Commanders,
We’ve got a patch incoming today which will update both PC and Xbox One versions.
The servers for all players will be going offline at 10am BST and we’re expecting them to be back up, online and ready to download within a few hours.
The Xbox One download will be approximately 2GB and will be bring paintjobs and game extras to Xbox One Commanders.
In addition when the update goes live there will be some changes to the Xbox Store products which means there will be an Arena standalone product (which will include playing with existing Elite Dangerous owners on the same platform), and a season one bundle which is both Elite Dangerous and Arena combined. We would like to stress that existing players need not purchase either of these items as you already have access to all of the content included.
The patch notes will be following shortly for PC and Xbox One.
PC Patch Notes
- Server change to allow scenario spawning to fall back to stations as centre-bodies when the system has a population with no planets. Allows such systems to have conflict zones and for players to influence that war.
- Fixed: Viper MkIV Squadron Blue paint job's icon appears red with white cross
- Change the default number of items per page in Exploration selling from 20 to 50 following from server-side optimisations.
- Fix VR launch option not working (being overridden by your graphics saved display settings)
- Fix missing binding mapping for 'Classic Context'
