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):
  • (3.8) Horizons Only Update 14 : 164.7 MB
  • (4.0) 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 Odyssey (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.

So just 4.8gigs does it really have something in it or its just upgrade on graphics ? other paint jobs?

So here's a question regarding FCs and their services. Currently all services (EDH and EDO) count towards the weekly fee. With the split/duplication tomorrow, will it be possible to remove the EDO services from the legacy carrier to reduce fee, or will this be done automatically? Worst case would be that the (then worthless) services generate costs while CMDRs are unable to ever remove them.

Anybody got experience of major game updates on the GeforceNow platform? Are Nvidia usually good at rolling things out, or will I have to find a hotspot of patience to mine for a day or two?

When I did the Console to PC copy, the copy itself took 10 mins and then when I got on my laptop (it is too crappy to even load ED so I went for GeforceNow and it is sweet) with GeforceNow on Epic, the ED loader sync took a few hours - don't know exact time as I left it syncing and went to the pub. It did have a progress bar and remaining time.

But I would suggest syncing the update on Epic (or Steam) prior to playing on SheildTV, as that may need downloading each time you log in until you update the Steam or Epic loader on a PC/Laptop (I do not know where a SheildTV only version runs ED from, I assume mine runs from my Epic account download with ED Launcher on laptop).

i know we are somewhat blatted with huge 100gb games now, but 4.8gb is still a lot..... that is over the size of most xbox 360 entire games and larger than a single layer DVD-R .... Not saying there will be a lot in there, but 4.8gb i certainly dont see as an indication there ISNT a nice upgrade in there..... esp as i assume it will be downloaded compressed.

Although to be fair the 4.8 GB is just the download size, which isn't additive to the install size. It's delta compressed so (simplification...) it's basically instructions on how to modify the files. Some files might get modified but remain the same size. Indeed, the install size of the game could actually be reduced, although not likely as they are indeed adding content...

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
?

I would say it's the second option. I don't think 3.8 is getting any attention, ever!!

Ooooo great:
- That is official confirmation that Horizons 4.0 runs absolutely the same code and server connections as Odyssey

Yet, Fdev will not allow us to have space instance together although this was promissed before Odyssey release. Great job indeed!

Well here's the thing. Oddy players bought the update so you can't really allow Horz 4.0 players who didn't buy the update instancing with them in the Ody game. BUT if Ody players want to play with Horz 4.0 players they could load up Horz 4.0 (currently you can only play together in 3.8) and then they could play together and that is exactly what is going to happen after the update.

personally given the problems i think this is probably the best solution WRT EDO players playing with 4.0 H players..... it is a shame it took such a ....storm to get it however. A small amount of forward planning could have negated the problem had FD just allowed it from the start, or said it was not in right away but would be in in 14.

oh well its done now..... Maybe FD believe the old adage all publicity is good publicity........ but then Gerald Ratner thought that and it didnt work out for him.

What about console players trying to transfer since U14 was announced? Many are losing 5 bil+ credits in the transfer because there wasn't enough time to Decommission our Fleet Carriers.

It didn't work out for his company. Everyone still knows Gerald Ratner's name, though.

I wonder how many have enough for rebuys of a large number of fleet carriers and all the ships hanging out in the termination system for Taranis. God help us all!
