Still there, Start >>play (last night...today)
"can't connect to frontier servers" (although i do have the EDH beta in my store account now)
How about scaling up those AWS virtuals ;-)
 
Just performed a test. Landed but not docked at starport on planet. As you would do if you were 65K out on a long exploration trip.

Ship not dismissed. Then self destruct = Return to original starport.

So, dying in your SVR during exploration is going to terminate the adventure. Why can't it just go back to the ship? I think the mechanism is harsh.

Added missing audio change log to the original post:

Looks like it was also left out that the Cobra Mk IV was added in the "New Content / Features" section :)

Also, can you comment on the reason why we are seeing separate clients for 64 Bit 1.5, versus 64 Bit Horizons. I expected everyone to be together. Is this because there is still some stuff to perfect before putting everyone together?

Whilst it all sounds and looks good, I have found myself stuck on the ground in my Scarab and cannot work out how on earth (or wherever I am) |I get back to my Cobra and reload the Scarab and take off.

I have looked high and low last night and this morning and cannot work it out!
 
It's a stability issue rather than a scaling problem and we hope to have a fix later today.

I don't have the beta but have read elsewhere that, if you docked at a planetary landing pad, you need to request docking permission again (from your scarab) at which point you get a marker that directs you to the correct landing pad. Once under your ship I believe you just need to position yourself directly bellow the orange lit SRV bay and then select board ship (or somesuch) to get back in.

Edit: FD ... any chance of a new Horizons section in the "living" manual (or has that subsequently died)?

I believe that if you go too far away from your ship, it will automatically take off to stay safe. You can summon it back to your current location in the lap menu (look down).
 
All I can say is WOW.... Spent about 4@5 hours now playing around, and sure there are issues etc.... but Damn it looks amazing!!!
Thanks FD!!!

What happens in this case if you have multiple SRVs? Same result?
 
Still no horizons option in the launcher and also nothing in "my downloadable products" in the store :(

if you have the new launcher it just come up as selectable, when you login just update your client took me about 7hrs thru the night :)

Ive been using boost on buggy to get up onto high structures with "some" success lol take a good run up or find buildings that are slanted and boost whilst driving up haha epic fun will try to get ontop of a skimmer soon :p
 
I pre-ordered Horizons awhile back, I updated the launcher, and I see the Ships Beta (both 32-bit and 64-bit), but I do not see the Horizons Beta in my launcher. What gives?

If you have made sure you have the latest launcher, go to the beta bugs forum and look at the "Technical Support" thread - there is a link there to raise a ticket with support.

You can also see this thread from Zac from late last night, but I think most of those issues are supposed to be solved now.

Edit: Also as pointed out below, you need to be sure you actually ordered Horizons beta version and not the base game.
