Elite Dangerous Update 14 Release Schedule

I am wishing FDev all the best with this big update. Elite needs a lot of polish. I've almost completely shelved the game this past month from fatigue. I'm tired of tripping over core gameplay bugs that haven't been addressed in 18-months; I'm tired of the broken anti-aliasing that makes me want to claw my eyes out; and I am tired of Odyssey content being divorced from Horizons content both physically (i.e., needing to run to a station concourse every time you want to take a legs mission) as well as in terms of gameplay (i.e., no hybrid missions), not to mention the fact that EDO content is almost entirely combat-based. As I keep saying, EDO has a ton of potential, but right now it's just that: potential. Waiting over 18 months for that potential to be tapped is getting annoying. I am really hoping U14 takes some big strides in the right direction because other space games are now stealing me away from Elite often just for the polish, which is kinda sad when you think about it.

Good luck FDev! I'm rooting for ya!

Need some clarification of what is happening to carriers.

1) What is actually happening with them? Are they being duplicated and separated between 3.8 and 4.0 or will they still be cross progression?

2) Odyssey only modules that are installed are still added to the weekly upkeep for carrier balance in 3.8, will this upkeep automatically update or do we need to uninstall the modules before the update drops in order to not get stuck with millions of credits in overpaid upkeep?

To do:
1. backup folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings ☑️
2. screenshot every Graphics setting ☑️
3. screenshot of Credits amount with Cmdr name ☑️
4. Plan free time until at least Wednesday 🟦

Yes, thanks for the heads up! Especially point 4. :cool:

Just to be sure, backup these as well:
  • All the other folders and files under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options (all graphics settings are there, too, so maybe easier than screenshotting everything)
  • {Path to ED install}\Products\elite-dangerous-odyssey-64\GraphicsConfiguration.xml (if you customized it, e.g. like so)
  • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\{your_user_ID}\VisitedStarsCache.dat (the GalMap uses this to show you which systems you visited. The map doesn't fetch this data from the servers.)
  • {Path to ED install}\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-odyssey-64\EDHM-ini\*.* (all files, just to be sure. That's your customized EDHM theme, should you use one)
You could also backup the whole local CMDR journal, although I don't think that's really useful.

As long as things aren't WORSE, I guess I will count it as a good update. As a VR-only player who HATES (and refuses to participate in) any of the on-foot stuff, I would someday like to see the VR experience become something other than mediocre. Horizons 3.8 performed infinitely better and the visuals were better (and you didn't have terrain magically appear as you came upon it).

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.

1) 3.8 Will be the Legacy galaxy which will have no interaction with the 4.0 or Live galaxy, so your FC and all assets will be duplicated into the two galaxies and then have no further interaction. There will be cross progression in each galaxy between available play modes but not between the galaxies.

2) I haven’t a clue.

8 Hours? that must be some kind of record! or timezone differences? :p

also still no developer updates (api) ?
so the people that make Elite playable with external tools can actually make required adjustments ahead of time? no?
