Patch Notes Update Gamma 1.03 incoming

It's not observed in the UK as far as I know so it's not all that surprising.
I read this as we can only sell 20 at any one station before having to move to a new station to sell more... seems ambiguous now that I look at it.
I read this a lot, but i don't have any issues on my side. Maybe you should post your Soundcard and Driver Version to help find the issue.
I use a Creative Titanium HD, everything is ok.

CTD still occurring when trying to access Cartographic menu - can only assume one of the systems I've scanned makes it unhappy (as it was working correctly until I did a 5 system scan earlier today).
Ticket open under 52750, but currently unable to access the Cartographics menu, to buy new maps or indeed sell any of my discoveries. Game breaker for me... Guess I'll mine/trade/murder instead for a bit
I managed to sell a fair few scans, the 20 systems ration actually seemed to be a bit random. Sometimes it was 2, sometimes 5, occasionally 10. Regardless once you cleared this random amount you could click on "Station Services" and then click back on "Universal Cartographics" to sell a few more scans. This was definitely an improvement on the previous Crash to Desktop.
However there are definitely still issues unconnected to the quantity of scans you have because after selling many scans it reverted to crashing to desktop again. There is obviously something it doesn't like with some of the scans, perhaps an unexpected star type or something.
I updated my own ticket (51524) and provided a new crash log.

Great work, although I never had this issue, appreciate all the work the guys are doing, must be hard sorting out a PC release, with all the different system specs and hardware, but if this effort is anything to go by, this game will be using up loads of my time in the years to come
I noticed some bugs and weird things:
3. I "have" 6k cr bounty vouchers in federal space (can see in transmission tab). Could not find any at station contacts at one of the station in the same federal system.
Ticketed.
Did you even bother to notice that it is not sufficient to just rely on federation, imperial, alliance, independent system status but rather check in what EXACT jurisdiction you gained that bounty?!
For example if you killed bandit in space where some political party (or whatever group owns that space) rule that part of a system then you must go to specific starport where that party, group is residing.
I noticed it straight on in gamma and I like that. It may only refer to federation systems as this is democracy but I didn't test other systems yet because I found sweet (way to sweet) trading route in one system and I am traveling from one starport to another so I did not made to many jumps in gamma
I am getting rich way to easy IMO and almost no risk LOLSo wrapping things up. Check exactly what that bounty voucher says!!!!!! And go where it tells you to go! Dummy people ;p

That server side change was made yesterday and the crash on accessing the Cartographer is still alive and kicking (to desktop).
You might want to upgrade your GPU.
Possibly, but I used ED's own Let me detect and set your settings for you. or words to that effect. I did and it set everything to high or max.
So I assume it should run ok.
Their known bugs list is not updated, or not complete, seeing that they only have 8 issues listed there, versus 415 in my list! (admittedly not all of those are confirmed). Although they do have >50,000 support tickets...
Here's all the info I collected about the voice bugs, some users have figured out what is wrong in detail, and this would help the developers to debug it. I highlighted the three main insights.
Here is a sample of a few other interesting bugs from my big list in addition to the ones I mentioned before:
- "Docking computer remains a severe safety hazard due to incomplete/buggy approach parameters/condition checks and especially near-complete lack of collision avoidance/traffic awareness" (and the docking computer AI is presumably the same as the NPC docking AI, which explains why so many of them crash or get shot down by the station)
- Galaxy map - not worth the paper its written on for planning journeys because as soon as you come pout of it your destination is lost.
- leaving a pad and re-requesting docking rotates the pad 180, the old beta bug of sometimes having to land your ship on the pad facing the exit direction
- landing pads on outposts frequently dont work. the docking alignment system doesn't come up and you can't land, despite a pad being designated for you. "I noticed this seems to happen after another player/NPC has just undocked from a (or the same?) pad."
- NPCs: can charge FSD near station (while mass locked)
- interdicted, but nobody is there
- buy / trade-in ship: If you want to buy a ship the current logic only looks if your bank account is viable, does not allow to "trade in" current ship automatically
- mission / permit - Just got finally a mission from He Bo to do some deliveries to Alioth... I thought great Frontier style they'll give me the permit... nope no permit which leads me to believe that they shouldn't have offered it to me to begin with
- pirates in deep space - There are pirates even in regions of space where there appears to be no other sign of life
- Mission - can collect goods from same station's market - get us 4 basic med for 9.5k - I bought in the same station's commodity market for 804cr, nice profit, but a bit daft
- Missile bug (a fairly old bug still hanging around): naughty pirate type is behind you (say about 2km) and fires a missile at you. You hear the warning sound. Missile magically teleports about 3-4km in front of you! Lightning reflexes to avoid getting it head on.
- the 40 seconds cooldown after interdiction does not work on NPCs
- Auto Field-Maintenance Unit should repair hull
- System Authority will act aggressively towards players that get in their firing line
- economies: lack of diverse economies near start position
Now that we have a feature freeze, we are just now entering what is normally called a "Beta testing" phase. Frontier should have allowed at least 3 months after "gamma" (the real beta) to complete this testing and fix the most serious and embarrassing bugs, without adding any major new features. The consequence of releasing 2.5 months early is likely to be relatively poor reviews and reception. In my opinion any "Christmas" effect is not going to be worth the inevitably lower metacritic score. I wish they would reconsider the release date.

CTD fro cartography (Fixed .... Not)
Well this CTD from cartography was claimed to be fixed in Gama 1.03
Well for me it the opposite, I now CTD from cartography before I use to get time outs or no data messages.
I have sent several crash reports and raised a ticket.
Can we get the bug back .... at least it was playable then
