Patch Notes Update Gamma 2.04 incoming

[Juffa]

I am having jump issues. I submitted a ticket. About every three or four jumps ED crashes and locks my computer. Alt+Tab, Alt+F4 and Ctrl+Alt+Delete are ALL ineffective. I have to hard boot my computer every single time.

Running Win 7 on a Dell Inspirion 640 with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 graphix card.

This game gets tedious REAL quick when you have to reboot your computer every three or four jumps

Edit: Esc is also ineffective

Have you tried playing in a window?

Whoops! Where did the Alliance go?

After the latest update the stars assigned to Alliance are now colored Red!

Also the orbits are not being clipped behind the planets/stars anymore.

More info, when mousing over a gun, shields, etc.. in the lists, the highlight blinks and then disappears.

OK its loaded and running like the finest silk but one thing has got me confussed I am running around Eravate looking for canisters containing a black box and cannot find anything, there are loads of unidentified signals but they all contain bounty hunter action, am I missing something or is there a problem?

PS if this is a game play thing can you point me to the right place to ask if it cannot be answered here?

 

[Errant]

custom key bindings disappear.
I've dropped my old custom file in C:\Users\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002\ControlSchemes but it doesn't appear in the game, selecting Custom in Controls brings the same X52 settings
PLEASE HELP !

 

[Errant]

custom wasn't in the drop down list. as soon as I tinkered with a present then custom appeared. dropping my old custom.binds file in the 'system ' folder didn't fix it.
i'll just re-bind :-(

So at what point are we allowed to be annoyed by this new installer...stalling? I've watched it drift between 10 meg/s and 0 for about, oh, 3 hours and it got to about 70% before stopping completely. A complete uninstall later and it's still doing much the same thing. This never happened on prior builds with zero hardware or software changes in the interim, so...yeah. Not loving it.

New 2.04 works for me - but it seems to be taking much longer to load the game after pressing open play from the start menu. I thought I had the OSOD sometimes, with this persisting for several minutes before game loading

Search is not working. Accepted black box mission in Apollo without checking target system. It again requests a black box from a Yin Sector system but there is nothing like that near as far as I can see. Had the same thing yesterday. Searching: 0 result. Yin Sector does exist according to a site I found on Google, but where is it?

Another mission to abandon.

PS Apollo is a nice place to get rid of scooped cargo. ;-)

They have been assimilated ...

I am getting this but only with the joystick, if I use the mouse it still works as before.

Pro tip: It doesn't matter what system you get the box at, to be honest I found it much easier to steal these things from NPCs in anarchy than wasting my time going to random USS. Bring a cargo scanner and now it will feel like your working for the mission rather than playing with the USS random number generator

Well, in theory you're not supposed to bring *any* black box so in the spirit of the mission you're supposed to comb the indicated system.
But you're right, it's easier and arguably more fun to acquire the black boxes from NPCs, and it's a good fallback in case you accidentally destroy the box you were supposed to collect

 

[wilkie79]

thank you ! and thumbs up for the great team and all your work !!!!

are there any fixes for missions ?
I found that sometimes normal supply runs get changed in in a USS by a NPC into a mission 'to abandon the kill run'.
The two were totally unrelated mission.
(not ticketed yet - was too late yesterday)

only good thing was that I got the reputation for it ;-)

This is still happening. I was about to deliver cargo to gain 15,000CR but when dropping out into a USS, it told me my mission was an assassination mission and that I had to abandon my mission, changing my delivery mission. When I click on abandon to rid me of the message, the mission was then converted into a 159CR, report to the law mission, with no abandon option available.

I lost reputation from this

Outfitting with Mouse does same for me, does not stop you selecting anything though, it is just the highlight which does not stay on.
