Patch Notes Update Gamma 2.01 incoming

[C0deBreak3r]

K.Lite-Codec-Pack removement fixes the Crash to Desktop. (Haali Media Splitter). Looks like the startvideo has a problem.

This fixed my issue with being able to launch the game, stopped the crash to desktop. Thanks!

So when they said that rare goods are now prized all over the galaxy they meant - Rare goods are now so rare there is now point in dealing in them. Belalans entire supply of leather was 2 items! If this is a joke then I'm not laughing. Nice to be able to get into the game though...

I found a copy of Elite:dangerous DRM free (Offline Only) version on a remote space station.
I am not selling it at any cost.

It's sentimental value is worth more than any price offered across the galaxy

instantly crashes on start up now every time

Looking at the bottom of the launcher, the client and server versions don't match:
V 2014.12.11.53704 0.4.1765.0 (0.4.1755.0 SERVER)

For those getting a crash on startup, do you see the same?
And for those who can play the game, what do you see?

I get into the menu but it's black. All buttons are there but no background image. I can then play the game as normal from what I can see. Noticed that the font seems to have changed in the contacts hud part of the cockpit view. Checked wear and tear to find it a 0% yet wanting to charge me 500c to repair it, fixed I see... Undocked and then redocked and quit.

Have un-installed K-Lite and now works for me - definitely a Codec issue, with FFshow I believe.

Removing ffdshow has made no difference for me.

Whaaaaaaat are you using for ammo? Platinum multicannon shells?

No. His Railguns are LAUNCHING Platinum multicannons lol.

No crashes so far but the missions are still disappearing from my transactions... ( Sigh ) I need to find new sources of income that don't give me bulk of the money from the boards

 

[Agony_Aunt]

Great stuff!

For those of you suffering this issue, this worked for me. Go to the C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics Directory open AppConfig.xml in notepad. Edit the line <VSync>true</VSync> to <VSync>false</VSync> and save the file.

No such file in that location.
I only find:

C:\Users\Gebruiker\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\EDLaunch.exe_Url_ttmjmuh0tjcsoloamrnwyv13mswbkg0a\0.4.1755.0\user.config

Path is:

V sync off worked for me. I'm running a GTX 970

note the underscores is a different location.

Game starts fine. Taking missions doesnt work although FD added a new error message? "Failed to perform mission transaction" compared to the cannot communicate with server message before. Maybe its a new bug.

Cool, what's this?

Wrong directory. It's "Frontier Developments" not "Frontier_Developments" The Launcher is using the underscore directory, the game uses the one without.

I found AppConfig.xml file in my game install dir (like d:\games\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002). But changing to false didn't helped.

Was fine with 2.0, I was able to play, and now I have the same issue.

 

[bsnaylor]

Calm down!

I'm getting crash to desktop as well now (crashes after displaying Frontier logo screen), was not getting this in 2.0, in 2.0 I was getting freeze/hang on wireframe ship loading screen which if I was persistent and kept trying it would eventually let me into the game. Now I can't even get to the menu screen due to the crash to desktop on loading, great work, go from bad to even worse, do you guys even have a QA Team there? Or are you using us as your QA Team?

They are doing their utmost to upgrade/improve & fix issues raised. (and doing a very good job from what I can see)
The issues you talk about are not affecting everyone, and judging by the comments in the forums, only a small amount of people, you might think it's "LOADSA" people, but if it was there'd be 1000's of postings, not the handful that's evident.
Yes it can be frustrating, but screaming "IT'S BROKEN FOR ME FIX IT!" isn't going to help matters.
Patience!

On the other hand, I was playing fine in 2.0 and now consistently get crash to desktop once the animated intro has played.

Same here, the update killed ED for me.

EDIT: Uninstalling the 32bit K-Lite Codecs fixed the issue for me too.

Repeatedly crashes with Dump very close to the end of first Intro screen
