Probably not, that bug has been around ages.

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.

I appreciate that you and your colleagues starting your day so early to accommodate us barbarians! I'm at GMT+2, so things will be more normal.
I hope all goes smoothly and no unintended bugs show up.

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;

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!

That's the thing varonica, I don't get it. To my understanding, H4.0 is H3.8 with EDO graphics minus the space legs."Meaning" H4.0+EDO cannot instance together and H3.8 and H4.0 cannot instance together either. Correct me if I'm wrong. All I know is I don't see just H4.0 anywhere on my system or in the launcher.

So...a patch to patch-up your lack of skills to fly your own ship?
I don't mean to be rude be seriously...you're asking for it rofl!


Not curious about if the game will overall be optimised even more...or any new content, no! That is so boring I guess.
But the "issue" with auto-launch" , THAT is SOOOO vital.
Forget even the goids (that one I wouldn't judge you for that!)
Forget new ships, oh noo to hell with that!

I WANT AUTO_LAUNCH FIXED!

omg o_O

:ROFLMAO:

We already know there will be new content.
Optimisation isn't an issue, Odyssey has worked fine for me since about Update 4.
Goids ... yep, no AX combat for this Commander, thank you so much.
Launching from stations, however, is something I do a lot. I'd kind of like that bit to work.

I know i'm being silly, but....
Any new ships, Odyssey only? Just to make it easier for people to make the switch from Legacy to Live? 🤔 🙃

Is that only with large ships? I thnk auto-launch for large ships has always been fraught with danger for quite some time.

I'm usually midway between my first two coffees of the day at that time, and sometimes on an emergency hydrogen delivery (I suppose it will be 'last orders' for hydrogen ~06:45 then )

I only have a passing interest in the narrative aspect of what we expect to happen (I'm not into AX combat at all).

I'm just hoping for some badly needed QoL bugfixes (although I fear that the need to push the narrative on will have deprioritised them). The galaxy map lost/corrupted issue is causing a lot of fuel strandings (I had a few of those yesterday - one poor commander got caught out twice) , and the navlock bug that has been around since ody launched and was made worse on the attmpt to fix it about a year ago.

l'm crossing my paws, but am not holding my breath. Really just those bugs fixed (along with possibly the Rotational correction thruster bug), and I'd be a happy ratto.

Settle down Beavis. The problem needing fixed is broken lateral thrusters and not Auto Launch.
Get off your high donkey and learn about the issues before running your mouth and risk looking dumb.

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.
Click to expand...
Yes, anyone who does not have the 4.0 game client currently installed will face a 50GB Dowload tomorrow.

Commanders we're on page 3 already! Hooo-wee!!
Just an apology in advance from me if i'm not too speedy with replies at the moment - there's a lot of prep work going on with some additional, minor posts needing setting free today, alongside the compilation of update notes themselves.

Forgive any immediate lack of replies to any requests for info on issues being addressed as part of U14. We can cover more on that front tomorrow.
Thank you, as always, for your patience! o7
