I have had zero in game crashes or issues since 2.0!!!
Game wont even install in the first place lol.
"Exception downloading file, possible network failure: The operation has timed out".
So if you are able to hit the play button and crash you are way further then me lol.
Good looking new game launcher though.

I know, right? a few friends of mine have been carrying on as if nothing had happened, i've even been able to chat with one of them a couple of times from the main menu.

I'm still hoping for a fix sometime soon (got all my fingers crossed) or at the very least by this evening (like the 2.01 & 2.02 hot fixes.).

Well what i tried yesterday. I too was seeing crashes/orange ship of death. What i noticed was the spaceship every time turned 90% degress and then it froze
Okay so i validated installation files from launcher.. all okay.
I ruled out the K-Lite codex, with removing the "movies" to another folder(the files is in your User/appdata/local/Frontier folder somewhere), so when i started up elite, there was black background (and no movie)
still orange spaceship of death
I then edited the XML file (the guide for that is somewhere here in the forum) where i edited 2 lines, to True and 60 frames.
Still the same ORange spaceship, but hey, now it actually turned around a bit more..but stops the same place..
Validated the installation again, now the validator could see, that i have removed the movies, so it redownloaded it again.

I thought what the hell, let's give it a go..first time, no result
5 minutes later tries again, now it was working all night.

Makes no sense

In DisplaySettings.xml :-

<LimitFrameRate>true</LimitFrameRate>
<MaxFramesPerSecond>30</MaxFramesPerSecond>


I'd suggest you also changing the vsync setting to false too. Once in and playing by all means go into graphics settings (in the game) and change max frame rate up to higher again.

I even changed it down to 15 (an invalid setting) last thing last night to manage to get into the game... and then increased it upto 60 when playing.

Exactly, a lot of folks seem to have forgotten this. If your frustration is getting the better of you and you have nothing helpful to give the dev's it's time for you to step back from being a tester. You are no longer part of the solution.

Fair enough, we're testing a game which is supposed to be in the final washup stages prior to it's official release; but portions of the game are clearly far from ready. I would expect that in the closing days before release that most of the bugs would have been fixed, and no risky changes would be applied. However, yesterday new features were added which caused problems, and the knee-jerk hot fix appeared to cause further problems for many people.

My biggest annoyance yesterday was that there doesn't appear to be a reliable way to inform players what was happening. They have a launcher application, and IMO that should be updated with LIVE information. If there are server problems, be honest and put a note both in the launcher and broadcast an in-game message to players. Advise people that things was being investigated. In extreme cases, inform players that the servers are being restarted soon so that they can finish what they're doing, and ensure that any players which are cut off from the network are returned to a safe location upon their return.

If there are server problems with the limited number of Gamma testers, then they need to put extra effort into server stability.

Ideally, I'd like to see an in-game support mechanism where you can ask to chat with a support person (or perhaps ask for volunteers for "community support" from the pool of established players), it would be better than having to leave the game to check the forums each time there is a problem.

I got stuck with a spinning ship yesterday, three restarts with no change. I tried it again this morning and it was working fine, with no changes on my end. I guess in many cases the spinning ship can be caused by server problems. Perhaps if a message was displayed saying what task the client was performing (e.g. loading assets, contacting server, etc) during startup this would give more details to pass on to Frontier.

is there an issue with broken missions at the moment? i'm getting 'failed to connect to server' messages whenever trying to hand something in. the rest of the game works fine.....

I'm getting a bit miffed as this game is clearly nowhere near ready for general release next week guys....

Join the club, i have not been running missions lately but you should try trading at the minute, all the trade data is totally useless, the only way to find a trade route now is to fly arround and actually check stock levels and demand levels in all the stations.... 5 days from release.... and we are dealing with these types of issues :S

I have no problems with Crashes or route planning, i do however have problems with "trade routes" giving constant losses and "Exported to" systems giving constant losses. I'm not a fan of rare resources now being totally useless unless you happen to be flying a JP Hauler with fuel scoop and can spend 30-60 minutes waiting for supply. and i'm also not a fan of resource extraction systems being listed as importing resources on the map..... there is a lot wrong with the game right now if you look.... i can pigeon hole myself into exploring and never have a problem (aside from insufficient credits to play) but some of the career paths are just fraught with bugs / bad design choices at the minute and we are too close to release for it to be this way.

I've purposefully avoided playing the game much since the end of beta 3 so let them get things right, thought i'd come back early due to the no wipe but seeing this, it's a bit dire.

I'd be content with them saying "look everyone we've bitten off a bit more than we can chew here, really sorry", extending the gamma and releasing the game when everything is ironed out. I have faith in frontier to deliver and expand on their promises in the future, but the biggest devteam in the world couldn't magically turn this into a proper release by tuesday.

Before Gamma, there were some major issue (IMHO) such as weapons being unbalanced, with many simply being pointless. I've not played Gamma enough to raise enough CR to see if these issues have been addresses. I suspect they have not, again raising the worrying thought we're rushing for a release date without time to get things done in time.

I'm suffering from withdrawal! I haven't been able to play for 2 days now! First it was the movie crashing the game (at least that sent a crash report) but after that was fixed I now get a frozen, non-spinning ship - solo or group or open play. And this one doesn't send a crash report because you have to CAD out. Come on guys - where's 2.03? Need to play - gasp, gasp - can't ... breathe ... need to fly ..

Woah, woke up this morning and everything's working now! No more SSOD crash. Not sure why, but grateful! Oh but now I can't accept missions - can't connect to server lol. Oh well, plenty of other stuff to do :)
