Gamma 204 worked without no trouble but 205 is not playable.
Tried to play like ten times and always get kickedout with "no matchmakingserver connection error". Sometimes I get to play for five minutes before I get kickedout. The fsd jump takes very longtime now. Even in system!

I've seen quite a lot of blank delivery missions - created a ticket.
-
Didn't have any disappearing missions this evening which was a bonus.
-
Lots of disconnections from the matchmaking server, but it's so nice not having to restart the client now when this happens.

I was in the middle of an epic battle with an Anaconda, who had a 160k bounty on him. He was down to 43% hull (I even wasted a torpedo on him).....Then disconnected from matchmaking server :/

I seemed to get two upgrades today, but both are 2.05. I'm in UK. One was late afternoon, the other in the mid-evening. I keep being disconnected from servers or freezing in hyperspace or supercruise jumps. I've raised a ticket on the new ticketing system. 2.05 is the least stable test environment in Gamma testing.

EDIT - why would I get disconnected from the matchmaking server now I've switched over to solo play this evening? Surely that exists to connect human commanders, or does it also get used for NPCs?

EDIT 2 - I'm docked, checking the bulletin board and get a disconnect to the matchmaker server. Why.

EDIT 3 - I have a lot of time to edit, every five mins on crashes. Moral of the tale - don't accept timelimited mission this close to bedtime, with flaky servers turning 15 mins gameplay into close to an hour now. Grrrrr

Not sure if it's the server either. I was playing with r53988/r0 (i think first 2.05 patch) without any disconnection whatsoever until 3 minutes ago. Going to try upgrading now.

EDIT: not going to upgrade. i was able to log in from main menu again :p i'll be waiting till the next stable patch or i get disconnected for good. i was online for 3 hours straight before. let's see how long it will be this time after relog.

I don't know how it is even letting you play if your client is old version, should not be possible.

Just checked my EliteDangerous32.exe and it is version 54009.0.0.0 dated 14/12/2014 at 22:31 so that little upgrade I had at 22:30 must have done something to the exe even if it just rewrote it.

Probably because it Gamma and we are all suppose to be testing out the game. One hope we will soon learn whether or not Frontiere intend to keep releasing test builds in the future and how and who will get access to those.

I mean let players on to test a patch before inflicting it on paying customers and in return give the a paint job or something.

Hmm, let's see - optimist verson: there are secret test servers with Frontier QA beavering away on the "big issues", and we are only being used to test the "little things". Pessimist version - there is no paid QA or test servers, and we are it. Fits with what has happened recently with other companies.

Was able to play 2.05 for a few hours after joining non-solo, then switching to solo (with upnp=1). I've closed down for the evening, 'Save and Exit', but the game exe hung. Killed it off Ok with TM.

Yeah - had some disconnects just now as well and a sudden appearance of the 'upgrade' button on the launcher. Loaded upgrade - very quick and small.

Version now Gamma 2.05.r54009/r0

Glad this was fixed as it also affected my X55 HOTAS, but it seems it may have now broken the UI Screen in toggle mode (set as Joy5 on my X55) as it no longer cycles to the right-hand screen, just the left navi, top comms, centre normal but it no longer switches to the right-hand status/power/groups etc This is quite annoying now, especially in flight.

Exactly the same thing with the X52,ive switched to using hold mode for now.

I've ticketed it - but this brings up a question: why wasn't the launcher updated with the new support site? It wasn't very clear in the old site, but eventually I realised where it had gone. I would have thought it was better to link directly to the new site now, and have lnks to the old one there, not the other way around.

I am having the same HOTAS problem with my X65f. Really annoying. I also am getting server disconnects. Something I haven's had since the Premium Beta days. (Hoping for another update soon).

OK, connection only able to hold for 20 minutes now.
by the way, am i matched against NPC now? because that matchmaking disconnects makes no sense for me in SOLO mode.

Well 2.05 was working great, then they seemed to have put out another small update without telling anybody and it is causing all sorts of issues, kicking people out due to matchmaking server.
.
Some could go straight back in, I did twice until I got Always spinning ship, killed it in task manager and my Launcher then showed Upgrade, nothing of Forum or in game message.
.
Had a couple more disconnects after the little upgrade so completed missions and have now given up for the night.
.
Other people still getting randomly kicked.
.
Why put out a small update without letting players know??.

Near-constant disconnects due to the "matchmaking server" issue. Unplayable, really. Can't even jump into supercruise without it getting stuck then disconnecting me.
Now I cannot even play due to the start option being greyed out (i.e. server down).
This close to release FD really should have had the server connection issues ironed out by now.

You have a point. I wasn't even aware there was an update until people are complaining not able to log in. Normally they send a server message and kick everyone out. I guess they forgot about me :p
