I guess that's the weak lateral thrusters bug which I really hope is fixed in the update.

Think auto-launch issues only happen with larger ships. I've never had a single issue in my DBX or AspX but do remember having to rescue a larger ship from hitting stuff on auto-launch. I cannot rmemeber when that was though but it was a while ago.

Does this mean that starting tomorrow, Horizons 4.0 is the new "default" Horizons? Asked another way, will those who are current running 3.8 (4.0 not installed) be presented with a 50 GB download tomorrow? I'm personally have the Steam version, but the question likely applies to everyone.

Better start downloading 4.0 already...

Greetings Commanders,

We're on the brink of a big day ahead - Update 14 is incoming and imminent for release tomorrow, November 29.

Here's a hopefully useful guide to the release schedule for you today, so you can make adequate preparations ahead of time, or just generally get warmed up to share the big moment together.



TUESDAY 29th NOVEMBER, UPDATE 14 RELEASE SCHEDULE (All times below in UTC)
  • 5:00 - In game broadcasting of 'server downtime warning'.
  • 7:00 - Both Horizons only and Odyssey Servers go down (update notes released via web and 'Release Tracker' style forum thread at around this time).
  • 15:00 - Servers return. Update 14 Deployment will be live.
DOWNLOAD SIZE INFORMATION (UPDATE 14 ONLY):
  • Horizons Only Update 14 : 164.7 MB
  • Odyssey Update 14 : 4.8 GB
Total combined update size : 4.9 GB (Updates combined only. ONLY if you have already installed the full 4.0 game client in advance).

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have not installed a full download of the 4.0 game client in advance of tomorrow's update 14 deployment, the client itself, minus the update 14 download size, is around the 50 GB mark. You may wish to do this prior to Update 14 release if you have yet to do so.

UPDATE NOTES:
Full update notes will be shared tomorrow, just ahead of or alongside server downtime.



Again, appreciate it's an early start for the UTC club BUT do watch out for the Release Tracker thread and update notes around 7:00. Pour a coffee.
Then pour another one.

Horizons Only Update - this means Horizons 4.0 (live horizons) or Horizons 3.8 (legacy)?
So, I can read this like
  • update for 3.8 - 164.7MB
  • update for 4.0 (both Horizons and Odyssey) - 4.8GB

Or this only means
  • update for 4.0 Horizons - 164.7MB
  • update for 4.0 Odyssey - 4.8GB
  • nothing for update 3.8
?

OK I'll go ahead and be the one to ask the stupid questions after ma1uta. The latest news regarding the Live/Not-Live+This version/That version is a green Thargoid fart in my brain.
I have Horizons 3.8 and Odyssey Full installed. Do I need the separate Horizons 4.0 to play with with my non existent friends or not? If I do, how do I go about installing it?

Steam everything BTW..

I presume the former as I'd say a client to load 3.8 would be about 164.7 mb but I might be wrong.

Just managed to get 10Gb, so hopefully should be good to go.

Still pushing it, normally for a patch I would want triple the available space of the patch size, so 4.8Gb to download the compressed patch, more than that to decompress the files, then whatever temp space required while patching the old files, could be ok, but tight!

Not on my current Internet. If it's a mandatory download, I'll just have to table Elite until I get a better ISP (which is the plan).

Maybe Steam will let me pause the 4.0 download and still play 3.8, seeing that they are entirely separate games starting tomorrow. It'll be "inconvenient" if I have to install 4.0 to continue playing 3.8.

I've just found another 10gb on top of this, so over 20gb acquired now. I could temporarily uninstall something on Steam if need be, to get more.

I would think you should already have it, H 4.0 is Odyssey with various restrictions in place to prevent 4.0 players accessing Odyssey content, minor changes to the loader to reflect the H 4.0 and Odyssey options and that should be it......well hoping so, otherwise there wouldn't be;

update for 4.0 (both Horizons and Odyssey) - 4.8GB
Click to expand...

Players who have Odyssey should get the Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey in that patch, players who have paid for Odyssey but not downloaded it would need to download the larger 50gb patch. But in the end we can only wait and see I suppose!

I thought most of the trouble is caused by everyone trying to share the big (Neil Armstrong) moment together :)
