Patch Notes Update Horizons 2.0 beta change log #3

Fosdyke · Dec 3, 2015

Thanks for the patch FD

amazing work

Dark Apostle · Dec 3, 2015

So far, incredibly pleased with the Beta. These days development teams on-par with FD are rare to say the least.
Personally, I'm a lifer (lifetime expansion purchaser), so I can't wait to see what is next.
Congratulations, and please continue as you have done!

Zac to the rescue! I just had my SRV explode (it was sitting doing nothing) and it's offering to send me back 4,500ly to the bubble. I logged out awaiting this patch, hopefully the respawn logic hasn't gone past the point of no return and I can respawn in orbit at 3.30pm.

What timing FD! It's as if you're making this game all for me

Allow more texture streaming memory

Hopefully it'll increase the FPS in VR!

"we're expecting the usual 30 minutes of beta server downtime. "

I like this one: - Stop all hostile ships in conflict zones targeting the player and friendly ships do not assist

The "Tag You're It" mechanic was exciting at first but got old quick especially with worthless wingmen.

Loving these beta tweaking/improving change logs, seeing game becoming a real thing

- Audio Bug - Ship engines now go silent when freefalling with FA off

That's nice immersive detail right there!

Damn.... you guys are busy

Thanks for the update!

- Split out the SRV roll into a new binding, this new binding can be bound to the same as the steering axis to get the same functionality as we have now

This was precisely what I thought was needed (and obviously I know best...)

i.e. give users the choice. For me on HOTAS, it makes sense to have roll = roll and steering = yaw, but I can see how just combining steering and roll might make more sense on Mouse + KB, gamepad or even some other HOTAS users.

Edit: oh, and as everyone else has said: Blimey, that's a lot of work done for a very short space of time!

Great work FD, that is a serious amount of changes since the last update.

DustyArne · Dec 3, 2015

Is the whole data base going to get patched? Since there are also 3 XboxOne fixes on the bottom.. ?

Lupin · Dec 3, 2015

WOW long list but guess that what you get for releasing 1.5, Horizons and VR content inside 2 weeks :/
Well done.

Kwaark · Dec 3, 2015

keep up the good work <3

Schlack · Dec 3, 2015

Is that all?

What the hell have you guys been up to? Too much pizza making you sluggish?

Seriously though, keep up the good work.

Bardolin · Dec 3, 2015

Nice changelog.
The SRV changes are pretty nice (being able to have separate roll commands is really sweet) and I'm looking forward to be able to find ground points of interest that don't fine me if I get close.

hutch45069 · Dec 3, 2015

Awesome job FD. I'll find something to do for the 30 minute downtime

Skizomeuh · Dec 3, 2015

- Compute shader performance tweak

Hope this one will help me going farther than 15fps in SRV...

AndreyATGB · Dec 3, 2015

Thank you, I see you've been busy for sure. Too many cool things to list now, but notably separate roll and adjusted VR position for SRV interest me a lot.

horizone · Dec 3, 2015

Every patch is like a smörgåsbord of improvements!

But hey, please stop all game initiated inertia head movement in VR for next patch, pleeaaaasse. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=205948

More Material Please , looking for FSD boost materials , seems the time to get materials I could travel to Sag A and back and watch England win the world cup twice.
