Patch Notes Update Gamma 1.03 incoming

[KY BLUES]

Hmmm, no news in the ED Launcher.
Well, the PLAY button is working, that´s by far more important.

And the galactic economy is still in the toilet.
No high demand or high supply of any goods worth 3000CR or higher in 95% of all systems/stations.

If the new/current Gamma design goal for >= 1000 profit-per-ton is now forbidden, FDEV, maybe you could, you know, tell us?

Added Server Side Change Log

Added server side change log (see OP):

- Temporarily ration keen Explorers to 20 starsystems at a time when selling their scanned data at Universal Cartographics
- Fixed a bug that stopped some types of News Articles from being generated
- Fixed a bug that stopped some players from creating Commanders

 

[Panzer]

It's most admirable, that such fixes are appearing with such regularity.

 

[Martin1956]

No fix for alt-tabbing yet? :/
Putting my hopes in Gamma 1.04 then.

Confused, I thought this was fixed ages ago, certainly doesn't affect me now.

Someone needs to make a documentary about how video games are made, to help customers understand what's involved.

You really don't want to know. Trust me. Not for the "work" part. Just for the politics.

Hi Godslayer, just curious, are you taking active steps to avoid interdictions ie taking an elongated route to stations?

Since I started doing this I find the interdictions are reduced to about once every 3 to 4 trips.

I'd agree - an interdiction once every 3 or 4 trips. It's been a while since I've been pulled out of hyperspace more than once on a trip.

Impressive work by FD.

 

[Rimas]

Thank You

 

[GodSlayer]

Yes actually, myself and 2 others are trying as many different options as possible to lesson the number of interdictions.
But still the current ratio means there are at least 10 to 50,000 interdictions per system X number of available systems.
A ratio that is utterly . No real immersion there. We and many more think ED needs to Tweak their code on this.

@ED / Frontier Guys you are doing a great job! Don't stop our hats off to you. The future of ED is very bright

- Temporarily ration keen Explorers to 20 starsystems at a time when selling their scanned data at Universal Cartographics

Excellent news. I kinda figured it was a quantity issue being that I have nearly 300 scans.

Michael, just one thing - could you please confirm that the out of balance audio (in particular the very quiet ship voice) is on your to do list, it is not on the known bug list.

As I understand from having studied the bugs thread, there are three things wrong with the voice audio.

1. The voice volume is limited by effects volume, so if effects and voice are set at 50% (default), then voice is actually at 25%.
2. Players reported that with 5.1 audio the voice is especially quiet, almost inaudible.
3. Players reported that the voice gets deeper and sounds funny if using high sample-rate audio.

what is it with you whingers,the game is superb imho,we are STILL testing.
wait for release at least before throwing your toys out of the pram for god sake.

Yes, the game is superb, but it is not a good idea to release a game (or set a release date in the near future) while it still has hundreds of known bugs including several dozen very serious and potentially embarrassing bugs.

Hopefully Frontier will be able to fix the most severe bugs, there are at least 30 such bugs. I wish I could help, I am quite good at debugging.

I'm getting error 503 in the launcher as soon as I updated to the latest version of the gamma. Any ideas?

edit: Went away after a few launches. Server trouble I guess.

edit edit: Login failure in-game now. Something's screwed up.

 

[Elmasri]

As our " feedback is incredibly important", here is mine:

- I can't play the game at all :
When i abandon a mission i get disconnected from the server.

OR

When a mission timer comes to 0, i get disconnected as well.
BUT i can't log back!! I get disconnected as i enter the game.

So i can't play anymore...

Help me ObiWan Kenobi, you are my only hope !!

Have you raised a support ticket? That is where bug reports need to go

Since I started doing this I find the interdictions are reduced to about once every 3 to 4 trips.

I have to admin, I find the same and I was finding interdictions with gamma release very difficult at first. But doing as Tony states definitely makes the interdiction rate decrease for me.

 

[Tas Devil]

Still getting the frequent loss of connections to server that 1.01 introduced,...

 

[trigg88]

Thanx for the patches FD

Just like to mention I played for hours last night and had a stutter and bug free experience
Since alpha this game is really coming together IMO

 

[Dietger]

Danke.
Awesome, as always!
Frontier those updates and fixes are coming FAST!

 

[Elmasri]

Where is the fix for the evidently 800 million plus pirates causing 2 to 4 interdictions per trip in almost every system you jump to. Please do not get me wrong, I
find it adding to the immersion. But but come on every trip, 2 to 4 interdictions makes ED seem like someone is not counting their ratio percentages correctly
with the vastness of space.

Getting interdicted 1(once) out of every 3 to 4 trips is more believeable.

Strange - I spent hours sometimes just Supercruising around trying to get interdicted. Where are those damn pirates I hear tell about?

 

[Hawkmoon]

Well guys, with all these updates we can surely look forward to a lifeless feature depraved yet bug free retail release. Yay.

I love people that make sweeping comments and then leave out the main features. What features that are meant to be in the game (from original concept as anything added after was marked as being added after launch) do you feel you you are being deprived of?

 

[stevesideas]

Thanks for the update. I can't see any news in the launcher now.
