Hooray, download finished, 6 hours 5 minutes on a Virgin 200mb/s connection.
Patch Notes Update Elite Dangerous: The Guardians 2.2 update
- Thread starter Zac Antonaci
- Start date
Can you please reduce the danger on trading/passenger missions, or (preferably) reduce the credits you have to pay on dying.
The game doesn't seem worth it to play, if even the lowest level, lowest paying, safest missions, are potential death traps ruining tens of hours worth of income...

Great updates and additions from what little I have looked at this morning.
Graphical improvements an changes (new witch space animation, changes to starports etc.) are very nice.
The Elite Dangerous 2.2 caption bottom left hand corner will be removed at the next patch............... (?)
Thanks for the great game!
Also: Where is avatar creation?

P2P download? Are you mad? FDev wouldn't touch such dodgy technology with a barge pole! ;-)

Latest estimate for download completion: 3302
Tried all methods of downloading 2.2, no dice for me.
Could someone upload their data.ovx file?
That would be really appreciated.
Cheers!
nvm.
As so as I posted, the server finally decided to recover and update that file. (It was hanging on that file all night)
I'M IN GAME!
WHOOP!

A very impressive list here. As usual. Congratulations Frontier and +1, of course
5 minutes to go. It has taken 5 hours! 0.52 Mb/s is the current staggering speed.Been off playing PS2 for a while. I've come back to try the download again and am now getting good healthy download speeds again. 20m sounds better than 6 hours
I have been trying for the last 3 hours, still getting the Validation error.
would really appreciate if some one could post a copy of the data.ovx file.
Cheers
For those in the UK seeing slow download speeds, I'm wondering whether it's a problem with Virgin Media. People with Sky or BT seem to be saying it's working ok for them. I have VM's 200Mbit service; as others have mentioned, I get between 0.14 and 1.89MB/sec atm.
Re people commenting on a version watermark on the screen lower-left, I really hope a patch to get rid of that is released asap, not just rolled into some future update. It ought to be dealt with separately much sooner, sounds very distracting.
Oh, new low of 0.01MB/sec. :} Can anybody beat 20 days to download? Hehe.
I've noticed btw that every time I run the update attempt, it grabs another small chunk at a decent speed, then stalls, drops to horrid slow, and meanwhile causes a huge CPU load across multiple cores. What on earth is it doing? And often, quitting the program doesn't get rid of the process in the process list. It really should not be such a grind to update the game; the update client still needs significant work even a year after people had similar issues with earlier updates. The changes in 2.2 sound great, but updating the game feels like having teeth pulled.
Ian.
PS. Of course having typed the above, my VM net link then died. Reboot cable modem, etc...

I have 75mbs with Virgin media in London and it took about four hours to down load.
I had about 20million worth of missions on board last night and parked up half way between Ceos and the bubble after my 3A fuel scoop put me to sleep. When I got back in my ship just now after the upgrade all the missions were gone. The cargo is there but useless. Is that normal after an update?

i had 42.3 million worth of missions they are gone now, ah well will fly somewhere to get a passenger liner me thinks
Hi mapesdhs. I'm on virgin 200mb/s. Had 0.1 on normal dowload, and 0.4 on alternative download.
I then tried a different approach. I cancelled the download, closed the launcher, and then downloaded via steam. Downloaded very quickly and game opened as expected. I then closed the game, and quit steam.
Then I opened the launcher, and restarted the download. For some reason, my 0.4mb/s download jumped to 5mb/s and completed the download quickly. Don't ask me why.
I had 4 missions on the go, prob around 6 mill. I got the message on screen that the sever was going of line in 5 minutes, being close to a base I proceeded with docking routine I was just about to land, about 2 km away, when a 3 minutes left message came up and a second or 2 later got disconnected............not very fair,
I assume those missions are now gone
ok, i guess it's me because i'm seeing screengrabs...but why am i seeing the 'Elite: Dangerous 1.7' watermark still? Just like the beta, but live. Is there a setting somewhere?
