Patch Notes Update Gamma update 2.05 incoming

[Mastermartin]

Cant stay connected to do anything atm. Takes longer to get passed spinning ship than the connect time i have.
This is so bad i think the last patch had a major new/old bug. And will hopefully be corrected soon after the bug hunters get back online.

Constant disconnects.

same here, few minutes of game and after disconnect

Did take some assacination/bounty hunting missions but it seems VERY difficult and time consuming to find the bad ships, did not find them after in this 2.5 hour session..... and with 3 sytems as possible places I dont know where to look first...

Assuming these are the same missions that I tried, they're incredibly vague about what you actually need to do in order to complete them. There was nothing about hunting specific pirates.... just two or three.... and no information about whether they could all be hunted in the same system, or if you needed one from each of the systems mentioned. Having killed what I thought were the right number of pirates, I've now got no idea whether the mission is bugged, whether I've been doing it wrong, or whether I'm trying to turn it in at the wrong station (seeing as the mission text helpfully fails to tell you where to retrieve payment).

DCed from matchmaker error several times in less then an hour. That's a new one!!

Also, it seems the orbit lines are not anymore hidden by the planets, as it was in early beta. Kinda difficult to get a sense of the station/outpost situation.

Busy Monday coming along, guys... Keep up the good work!

Played Sunday night 2.5 hours in OPEN PLAY, had 6-7 server disconnections, a view while flying and 2-3 when hyperjumping.

Text chatting to friends doesnt seem to work at all, I have my friend's in the LIST but writting only gets me "no connection to XXXXXXXX" (did it work in GAMMA at any time?)

Similar experience here last night in regards to disconnects.

Nope, text comms haven't worked since Gamma started as far as I can tell...or to be more precise, it works maybe 5% of the times and then it loses connection as soon as I drop in/out of SC or enter hyperspace. In other words every time matchmaking happens on the server. I've been bugging support about it, but at least Michael did say they knew about it earlier in this thread:

We're looking into some text comms issues.

Hopefully they'll get it sorted before release. Releasing a multiplayer game without the ability to chat to other players is not really what I would call optimal.

It did work fine previously during Beta so hopefully they'll find the "gremlin" in the code and execute him/her.

Yep, me too. Pretty much unplayable for me at the moment with the disconnects. Could not stay online long enough to buy stuff and launch

 

[CMDRKNac]

Could Michael or other dev take a quick look at this please? https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=73506&p=1231467&viewfull=1#post1231467

if it's broken it's bad because the background simulation is not working fine. Maybe is related to the last server problems though. Just a quick confirmation on what's going on.

 

[Udayana]

Maybe I just have bad luck but I traveled to several stations and found less missions than before. In two cases I even found empty boards. Before the patch there was an average of 4-6 missions per board for me, now it's more like 1-2.

Hmm, i have plenty of missions on BB around lave. My difficulty is finding the items, some things are nowhere to be found even on systems with the right economy one might expect to find them.

 

[Mikey2305]

seems to be sorted here now, back to the usual stability... hope it is where you guys are

I fear you spoke to soon. Disconnected again.

 

[Mat rix]

disconnected from matchmaking server, getting annoying now

 

[soulman]

It is much better for me today too, only had one disconnection to the matchmaking server when accepting an assassination mission so far. Although one may be too much for people on release day .....

 

[Del-Dredd]

Are you kidding?
They tried that Saturday night and Sunday.... 2.05 was the result...

2.05 worked fine for 3 hours, it was the small unannounced Hotfix later that messed everything up.

Ticket 2092 raised for the matchmaker server errors.

 

[Voyager_NL]

Flew around for about 15 minutes but then I first got a Disconnect from Adjudication Server tried to go back in right away and then I got disconnected from the Matchmaking Server.
Now it's just the spinning ship for me.

Actually, does the game know which ship I am flying during loading? It always loads with the spinning L6 and I am flying that ship.

 

[Del-Dredd]

Yes the Spinning job should be the ship you are currently flying.

my first ever post and its not a great one tbh was getting the matchmaking error now I seem to have picked up an Adudication Server error causing DC. hope the devs know this and are on to it . . . I got some bounties to collect . . .

Welcome to the forums!

I'm sure they are aware of the problems, you could almost say it is their business.

 

[soulman]

I keep getting matchmaker disconnections now, especially accepting faction missions
