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.

This is a lesson most game studios fail to ever learn unfortunately. Game studios are not good product people. The developers are going a good job with what they are given. It's just management/stake holders that are ruining things. The release of the game before the end of the year is no coincidence. I don't know the exact reasoning, but there's money and "business" involved. Just crap games industry politics once again stepping into ruin the day. Isn't this what BD was so upset with before? Doesn't look like he's been able to manage to get away from it even with a Kickstarter backed project.
 
Along with the news panel being blank now, been thrown off the servers four times in the last 25 minutes. Attempting to reconnect gives 'Unable to retrieve Commander data'.

And for those singing praises about these frequent patches to the live servers, it's not necessarily a good way of going about software development. Regression testing suffers for one.
 
Permanent Disconnects since Gamma 1.03...often when reconnecting i get "could not load commander data" and i have to restart everything...highly annoying. Also still no response to galaxy map brightness problem.
 
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.

Yup, servers seem to be overloaded again.
Launcher can't get news.
Sometimes getting authentication errors and can't even start game.
When I can start, can't retrieve commander data.
The two times I actually got to start the game, one dropped be out when viewing the bulletin board, and other when emerging from hyperspace.
This is the third gamma release, and still every time it is essentially unusable when initially released.
How are they going to handle the actual go live?

Thank you Edward :) But no fix for the bug that was introduced in 1.02. That some players cant run the game in full screen mode. Are forced to use window mode that make the game laggy and with large fps drop.

Anyway. keep up the good work :)

ah tnx m8 , i tought it was my pc , im some kinda half fullscreen
 
Go tell me it's a troll please it must be, but if not.

Have all these people put in tickets if so they will get looked into, also YOU have no way of telling how many of these issued are down to the game or peoples systems so listing them all on here with no user data is a complete waste of time. We are still testing to find these bugs and when we do we send in a ticket so the the devs can see who had the issues, where and when.

The heck is your problem? This guy is just trying to make a listing of common bugs known in a thread likely to be frequently viewed by frontier staff.
A lot of these are ticketed as well, but it never hurts to have more information. Maybe a few bugs were missed here and there they didn't know about?

Very defensive, this one. Not sure why.
 
This seems to be a problem with each update, to my mind. Servers take quite an increase in loading as people first update and log in causing problems such as this. I, for example, was unable to retrieve market data nor access the outfitting. What seems to happen most times is these problems settle down and I suspect it may be related to the required resource ramp-up on the server farms not being fast enough. I did ask Ed for details on this in the Gamma 1.02 incoming thread. I'll leave it for an hour or so and try in a while - it is usually better :)
 
Constant disconnects since update. Mining near impossible, even if connected, half my rocks wont process due to lack of server comm. Sigh...the problems with online environments...always at the mercy of someone else crappy equipment.
 
Great to see these patches coming thick and fast, great work devs.

One thing, since latest 1.03, my NEWS feed in E:D Launcher is blank, looks very strange, can still login and play the game so I dont really care, but I don't like it when things look strange, have to deal with this every morning looking in the mirror.

Strange - I spent hours sometimes just Supercruising around trying to get interdicted. Where are those damn pirates I hear tell about? :(
Empty cargo hold.
Harmless Status.
Enter any system / Enter supercruise.
Travel towards any station, star, or planet in the system, from any station, star or planet in the system.
Wait less than two minutes.
Interdicted 90% of the time. <- me.
 
Do them people at FD get a break? Seems you're all working hard over there. Time out for pizza me thinks. Thanks so much for the ongoing bug squashing and polish. :)

Shok.
 
Thanks guys, that was fast :p

However - one thing mentioned previously for 1.03 was the fix for CTD when entering Cartographics - a friend of mine has had this problem persist through both 1.01 and 1.02 - has this been fixed too?

Thanks :)

Does this mean we have to rescan systems? Or are they explored and we get no credits?
