Patch Notes Update Horizons 2.0 Beta Change Log #2

[Bam]

Doesnt work. The only way I get the current launcher to work is via steam. I try otherwise I get an error message right away when starting the launcher.

Thats how I got it to work, a separate install to the steam one.

Could the server updates possibly be done not in the UK evening time in future. Would not morning or afternoon UK time be better.

But thanks for working hard on it.

What about the people that still have no Horizons option in the launcher and also nothing in "my downloadable products" in the store even though they have the expansion pass and premium beta?

Just download the Standard Launcher from your "downloadable products", install it and see what happens...

It's not working. I have Premium Beta, Horizons is downloaded, but SRV modules unavailable in Founder World and Dalton Gateway, don't have keys bindings for SRV in settings and drop from supercruise when close planet.

yay thx fer dah update ^_^/

Oh and do make sure you do something about the horrible stability of the Matchmaking server... Disconnects every 3 minutes tend to discourage one from testing

same problem here. Servers are terrible atm

Tried that, and as I said, the only way the launcher works for me is via steam.

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.

I thinik Drive Assist is like cruise control, maintaining a steady speed (that is not maximum, otherwise hold accelerator) . I find both to be useful in different situations, and am generally love handling the SRV! Maybe this is when the gamepad shines?

I don't get why everyone is complaining about the controls... the SRV had no bindings for me, so I had to make them up and find what I liked. Pitch and roll in the air might take some getting used to though

Download servers for the update have already crumbled: 0.1-0.15MB/s, ETA 12-17h. So glad I have a 50mb/s line.

I didnt want to run it via steam, but the launcher doesnt work for me otherwise no matter where i download it.

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.

This is so awesome... I hope they keep that in

What about the abysmal state of keyboard+mouse controls for the SRV? Could we have, like, at least an acknowledgment that this is understood as a serious issue?

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.)

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

That installer is different from the one in Downloadable Products. Can you confirm that one works?

Can anyone confirm which launcher can update to the latest version? I started downloading with the launcher from http://hosting.zaonce.net/elite/Client-Installer.exe ; 4 days left to download apparently. Mind you, I already got into the beta for an hour after that can't connect to server issue, but my old launcher won't update the game to this here version. So I'm trying the installer from http://hosting.zaonce.net/elite/Client-Installer.exe .

Getting desperate here. I want at least to only download the entire game no more than once. Is the correct one the 25MB one or the 128 MB one?

 

[Stoutlagger]

Beta is always a snapshot from "mubmle" weeks ago

Ok, thanks. I've been playing a while, but this is my first beta for ED.

 

[PiLhEaD]

Nice job - as always a really speedy update - great job!

 

[majogl]

My launcher is stuck on "Preparing for update" doing nothing...

Hi all, we will be taking the beta servers offline shortly for an update.

We expect for the downtime to take no more than 30 minutes, but we will do our best to come in under that! The beta servers will go offline at 6.30PM GMT.

So it is 40 minutes now and the launcher doesn't even let us download the update?

Read the OP

Offline at 6.30PM GMT, online about 7PM GMT.

Will there be a fix for the odd/bugged orbit of some planets? E.g. tidal locked moons not actually being tidal locked.

I was there in the alpha, mouse control for ships, while not perfect, was absolutely in a workable state. The most important addition where the power curves and the mouse widget, basically. Compare that with the SRV, where you can't use mouse axis beyond the turret, have no sensitivity slider, and can't even set it up to drive the SRV like in almost every game in existence that also features vehicles (read: GTA, Mass Effect, Battlefield etc).
