Just spent around three hours in the CG in Abroin. No issues at all, and just before I logged off I counted nine hollow squares on the radar. Looking very good right now guys =]
Oh, and BTW I was in my T-6 with paper shields, just going about my business in the CG in Open, as you do.

Yeh went there in my Python for a bit, two Anaconda's in a wing were blocking the slot (not intentionally I don't think) as one seemed to be having trouble getting in and just kept ramming my poor Python out of the way! Once I reversed a bit he got in fine, big fat of his. LOL.
It was all very smooth and I had no lag even though the station was brimming with hollow squares! May this continue!
been getting kicked off every night since the last update, 3 times last night always a mismatch error with server or something to that effect. it's getting frustrating when you just get going or just getting to the point to drop out of SC and then get kicked off, i know the auto save is good but still they need to get this sorted. we have all paid money to play either the game and PS+ for online play. not good.
Yeah there was quite a questionable bit of flying going on! I heard the authorities deal with one unfortunately soul using their 'Thermal Docking Correction Devices' ;-)
I got my brand new Type-7 stuck in the slot the day I bought her. I "twisted" too soon, forgetting that I have a mile of very fat ship behind me. That was panic moment, because it would not budge. I even boosted (and I was pointing into the station). ATC was cursing and threatening and sharpening their knives, and my shields were going down down down. Finally an NPC cruise ship (Orca, Beluga, I dunno) pushed me free. I thought for sure I was going to eat my most expensive rebuy of the game that night!
Fly dangerously they say - ha! That was one of those days I was glad not be be surrounded by hollow squares, even friendly ones. Having my fat butt stuck in the door like that - I was embarrassed that the NPCs saw my noob flying, let alone humans!

Servers said to be offline for 40 Minutes. They should be back since 90 Minutes then. But my instance stated it cannot connect to the servers.
Servers still down or a new bug?

Yes, but last weeks stey sticked to their timeframe. After rebooting my PS4 from scratch, I get the message the PS4 network is undergoing maintenance ("WS-37432-9"). It does not try to connect to Frontier servers at all, I am just looking at the the ELITE DANGEROUS start Screen, not the menu screen. PS4 Network msg apears on top of that screen every time I press "X" to start.
Strange thing is, I only play solo, and all the weeks before the maintenance of the PS4 network never interrupted or affected my solo exerience. Why now? Was the recent hotfix a switch to make use of the PS4 network?
And here it comes: Checking the PS4 status on Sony-Website
https://status.playstation.com/de-AT/
All status is green, NO maintenance ongoing!
Strangely enough, testing the connection via the PS4 in settings, it states the same maintenance message for the PS4 network. WTH is going on?

Even in solo you have to be connected to the internet/psn as you also have to be connected to fdevs servers
you won't be able to reconnect and play elite until the psn maintenance is complete and fdevs servers are back online.Tried again last night and it was fine no disconnects so the previous nights problems was a one off for me

Ok, here it comes:
Browsing the internet for solutions, obviously there is an issue with the recent update of PS4 which prevents from establishing a connection to the PS4 network with the above error code. The solution is pretty simple, if you cannot connect to PS4 servers with the above code:
A) Switch off your PS4 completely, remove all cables from your router (thus switched off and all network cables disconnected as well!).
B) Wait 10 Minutes. Plug in all cables. Switch on router. Then switch opn PS4.
C) Enjoy!
Worked like charm for me right now. Back online in Elite Dangerous as well.
Obviously a PS4 software issue.
EDIT: Had the problem again after a shutdown of my PS4. Tried everything, only thing which got me connected to PS4 Network again and get rid of the "maintenance message" was to restart the PS4 and rebuild the database. Only again like charm.

The only CQC patch I want to see is one that removes that vile red CQC rank marker on my right panel in the main game. ughhhh
Yes please.
Ok, now I did the ultimate test, MINING!
Guess what? I was able to mine 80t within one hour without a single disconnect! Amazing!
Flew back to station 'cause thats like 10 times longer than any time before that I was able to mine.
Given that hyperspace travel, station services, mining and combat DO work without disconnects from my point of view as of now and given how we started at release I consider the "discconect" problems to be sorted by now. Excellent!
Since a lot of people invested a lot of time, for sure all of us would appreciate some more background info of what you guys changed and what the root cause was.
And - also kindly do not forget to compensate for all the trouble since 4 weeks now. If you ask me, some free paintjobs or shop items would be something to winback reputation.

last night again kept getting kicked off due to server mismatch error always when either starting a jump or just getting to a station out of super cruise, it just disrupts that flow of gameplay, since the 1.5 update it has got worse for me as every night now i get kicked out about 4 to 5 times.
i'm giving up for now and going to play something else until Frontier can get this issue sorted, such a shame as this had potential.

You may want to check the major thread regarding disconnects and start at page 30 or so when FD asked for much more detailed info to sort this out. Do the MTU/DNS change, run the Net analyser tool and see, where the bottleneck is. The same as they obviously identified a common issue which now was sorted, there might be another issue which is only in common to some and you would help to identify by providing as much info as possible.
Well, I've now managed to play for several hours without an issue, primarily in solo so more testing is needed. Just wanted to say thank you for finally fixing the problem although sadly it appears this is not a universal solution.
Really feel for people who are still experiencing server disconnects, I had it for about the first 5 weeks of owning the game and I know how frustrating it can be. I think there should be more communication from Frontier regarding this; its a huge issue, I can appreciate the complexity of the problem but I think an increase in dialogue would help.

Interestingly as I have mentioned before I don't seem to have any issues in Solo, its always when I am in Open / PG and I guess interaction between me, servers and other peoples connections. It would be interesting to know the split of issues in Solo vs other modes.

I've played maybe a couple of hours in open now in a fairly populated system too, hyperspace jumps, planetary landings, scooping cargo etc and not had an issue which would have been inconceivable before the hot-fix. Hope the issues you're having get resolved. If anything changes for me I'll update the thread.
