Tried to update, after waiting for synching files and completion I get this after clicking 'Play'

"Watchdog: Unhandled error starting application : 5"

I have tried to validate the game files, still getting the same message box... Help?

How come we are only stuck with 50% / 300% FSD boost on WD/NS? Didn't it used to be like 500% and 3000% for intergalactic highway or something?

Is it normal to have the "Elite: Dangerous 2.2" watermark in the lower left corner? I understand the need for the beta but it seems pointless once it goes live.

It's a common small oversight after long Test/Beta periods, will get removed with the next patch/hotfix

PS.
Uprading at ludicrous speeds here right now, pretty clear the vast majority of Data is being imported from my Beta Folder and not downloaded - so no manual shuffling of Files etc. needed.

Servers are live.....!!!!

Now THATS a change log!
Very well done you FD devs!
Thank you so much for all your hard work and Zac? I think you yourself will need a rest after typing all that out! [yesnod]

Does the BETA get removed from my PC? only I'm getting low on space and unsure how big 2.2 is.

YESS!

Experiencing extreme jubilations of joy and happiness

Is it just me or have NPC avatars been improved since the beta?

I'm on a 200mb Virgin connection and mine is just the same. It's like this every time there's a big Elite update. The next day will be fine, but the day of release the speeds are terrible.

BT Infinity - downloaded in 5 mins (peaked at 72MB/s) nice!

It was never 500/3000 !

No? you seriously believed we'd have anacondas jumping 1500LY per jump?

Thank you. This is great. One thing I notice on some of the main rotating stations in the System Map mode one of the services listed is Auto-Dock. Couldn't find this anywhere in the release notes. Even did a Find on Page search. What is this anyway? Docking computers only work at these stations? Or maybe they charge you a small fee to bring you in remotely. Would love to know what this Auto-Dock means.
