Elite Dangerous | Update 18.06 | Thargoid War overhaul |Tuesday 28 May 2024

[Clarion-Z]

Check your ping times. Mine were 880ms. Unplayable due lag, which is why "Data Corrupted" repeatedly appears. Go have a beer, come back tomorrow.

I like your optimism

Many errors everytime I get threw out. Reason: server errors

 

[CMDR TishTech]

Is anyone having problems following the update. I
cant get to super cruise., just a black screen

I get into Supercruise, then once I hit the Assist - black screen. No audio.

 

[Commander Lexibutt]

Data corruption, long hyperjumps and disembark black screens, oh my!

 

[pFVD]

Get about 5 minutes into an AX conflict and the screen just fades to black, have to kill the game exe and start again. I think the servers need a little more than time and a Red Bull*.

*Other energy drink brands are available

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

I'm going to back out until tomorrow. Should have known better than to play on patch day...

 

[STRONTIUM DOG]

servers not synced gotta give it at least 4hrs to roll out fully then there is all the dload traffic on top of that...............
playing on patch day you can expect errors its as simple as that
as for the planets not populating on sys maps that could well be a new bug or a server blade that handles maps at amazon ec2 has fallen over and not been replaced yet

 

[Clarion-Z]

playing on patch day you can expect errors its as simple as that

With any other game, I expect errors being fixed by patches, not created.

Quite unplayable for me at the moment. Just picked up a load of rescue missions and crashes to a black screen. Eventually shows a black adder crash.

 

[STRONTIUM DOG]

oh the joys of piggyback gaming on a shopping network server that's peer to peer to boot

 

[WILLIAM BILL ADAMA]

Continuous "Data Corrupted" errors and game crashing after update

Frontier say :
War contribution values have been rebalanced for all actions and the following actions have received significant boosts:

• All combat actions (e.g. destroying interceptors and Anti Xeno Combat Zones)
• Hunting Orthrus in alert systems
• Spire sabotage actions
• All mission types
• All rescue operations

The reality :

1 hydra mission +/- 32M 2 hydra 62M
Same before update.

Where is the significant boost ?

Given Titan Hadad entering meltdown well within 48 hours, faster than any of the previous three

For the record, T. Taranis did enter meltdown faster than T. Hadad (about 18:55 UTC on a Friday).

Getting an odd message. Just scanned a system and, when I started my jump to another, I kept getting this:

View attachment 393936

The scan seems to be OK though.

EDIT: I think it's just a bit of lag server side. Don't think it's an issue.

Yes, a server problem. It has been quite some time since I last saw that error.

You’ll probably have to rescan the system (after a relog).

EDIT: Interestingly, I have Elite Observatory running and that will repeat "System scan complete".

Elite Observatory surely takes the information from the local journal file. Locally, the scan was completed, but the information did not reach the appropriate servers.

The reality :

1 hydra mission +/- 32M 2 hydra 62M
Same before update.

Where is the significant boost ?

Not "Reward" boosting, but "War contribution values = Influence on Thargoid War BGS" boosting

Greetings Commanders,

We are aware of reports that some players are experiencing connection or server issues. We are investigating these as a priority and will share more details when possible.

 

[Fixitman]

This is why I'm glad patches always roll out on a weekday morning. Everything's working fine by the time I get home from work.

Just like me, the hamsters are getting old. It takes them a bit longer to get up to speed

 

[Aleks Zuno]

We are investigating these as a priority and will share more details when possible.

Thank you ever so much for keeping us updated!

For the record, T. Taranis did enter meltdown faster than T. Hadad (about 18:55 UTC on a Friday).

T. Taranis did not begin on Thursday though; it became available to attack immediately following update 18, which was on a Monday, so actually that was closer to four days of active assault.

Ah, you don't have Star Citizen then?

 

[Clarion-Z]

Ah, you don't have Star Citizen then?

Lol, no.
But to be fair, star citizen isn't even out yet... Or ever... Early access isn't my thing.

 

[Internaut]

Word just in. Apparently some hamsters never turned up for work today.
