mines downloading at normal 0.75mb/s but it's stating 3hours....surely this patch cant be the same size as yesterdays main Beta as that took 2 1/2 hours at the same speed :\

edit: ahh kicked into gear...now 5minutes left :cool:

I even tried restarting the launcher, still gives me no more than 0.15MB/s...
 
Why are there in Horizons no powerplay fixes like we have discussed on the forum almost 3 months ago.
Example the possibility of powerplay missions
It may simply that at this current stage in Horizons that its not at the top of the list, they need to roll out Horizons first get that stable then integrate/flesh it out more afterwards with the other elements of the game, or they would have even more issues to resolve in a very short time.
That should have been what the 1.5 Beta was for... (If I say any more, my extreme cynicism of FD's priorities would be exposed. Ooops.)
 
Busy day for you guys. Your hard work is truly appreciated. Here is an unintentionally rude screenshot to make you smile.

Ease her in gently, Helmsman.

And we thought Lugh was stuck between the butt cheeks of the Federation...you sir...have a problem! Good luck with that...and my your helmsman provide you with a smooth entry!
 
Matchmaking has been an issue with me also.
Don't like the idea of backing the SRV into my ship, would rather back out and drive in.
I'm unable to turn drive assist on, either from a mapped switch or from the right hand HUD.
Found the lights in the outpost SRV bays so bright I couldn't see my HUD.
Lakon Type 7 guns appearing through closed Hardpoint covers, in outfitting.
I still really want a searchable Captains log, so I could go back to those pristine rings I found, or to see if I spelled something rude across the galaxy.

This really is a lovely game though

I've been able to just drive up to the pick up point and get in perhaps I was having trouble with terrain ,, or the pick up is a little small and to critical

Erm is the update seriously supposed to redownload the entire game again? That's kinda rubbish for people with slow internet considering those rather minor changes...

EDIT: Nvm... it starts skipping files at some point, so it doesn't download everything again (the estimated time is lying as well). My bad.

* "Hitting a planet at high speed (above several C in supercruise) no longer does weird things"

I wonder what THAT was?

Excellent work FD, I am immensely impressed with your work and I don't mind the bugs, they'll all get sorted in good time. I don't know what all the fuss is about with the SRV controls. Frankly, I think they're fine and as another comment here stated, I find switching between FAON and FAOFF works wonders.

Fantastic job, and I can't wait to explore further.....byeeeeeee!

Ha! You're in for a bum-py landing there.

This is standard form for FD, going by how bad mouse control used to be for ED, and how low-priority fixing it was before/after v1.0 was released. So it'll probably get fixed in 2-3 months time... (I hope my cynicism is wrong.)

I think you are correct on this. The mouse widget broke during the 1.4 update. They moved it into the cockpit when before it was out with the rest of your targeting and nav icons. The problem with this is when you play in VR (i know there aren't many of us but there is still some development for it). Having ONE of your icons not in the same depth field as the rest, is like walking around with your finger 3 inches from your face. It appears as 2 fingers, which is what the mouse widget is doing, making it REALLY hard to fly with the mouse widget on.

This made it out of the 1.4 beta, never got fixed during live 1.4, made it into 1.5 beta and is currently still happening in the 2.0 beta. I've accepted the fact it will never be fixed and i have stopped reporting it. You would think that even with David Braben playing the game with the Vive he would have noticed this horribly obnoxious, and easily fixed, issue. All i get though when i report it is "Can you provide a dxdiag" which is code for "we want to look like we are taking care of it, but have 0 intention on doing anything about it"

Like you though ChrisH, i hope my cynicism is wrong too... but mouse and control really is so low on FDev list, we just have to deal with it until a dev tries to play with a mouse and keyboard and says "What is wrong with this?"

Anyone having the same issues as me? Everything works very slowly, loading screens in main game are unbearable and minutes long, launcher requires 5 minutes to just start and then everything reacts to button presses for 5 more minutes each time. After i pressed "update", after 5 minutes it changed the button to "working". 15 minutes later it showed syncing files - 2 days to go. Haha.

My heart sank when i saw it going slow, i thought you got to be kidding...

I want to add something which I discovered just minutes ago, shortly before the servers went down. Please pass this along, too:

The throttle control for "accelerate" and "decelerate" keyboard assignments, when driving in FAOFF mode, already exhibit the proper gas&brake behaviour. This behaviour merely needs to be mirrored when driving with FAON to fix the throttle problems immediately. Of course the many other issues still remain, but at least the thing would become decently drivable.

Why don't you just drive with FA OFF then?
 
I was there in the alpha, mouse control for ships, while not perfect, was absolutely in a workable state.
I don't want to get into a long argument, but I would like to point out that (AFAIK) 1.5 years later Flight Assist Off is STILL virtually unusable when you have Absolute mouse mode enabled. (The fix would be simple: Act as if Relative mouse mode is enabled, when FA is On.)
