ANNOUNCEMENT September Update out now!

[Rebel66]

Expected more...
You call it update...I call it a step back !
I thought the downtime extension was for testing purposes...TEST FAILED !!!

New Update for 40 Minutes announced....what changed ???
NOTHING......
1. Still showing not the correct engineered modules....and also no experimental effects !!!
2. If I select a module grade which is still locked to see what it provides....system stops...I have to login again....happens every time !!!
3. Transfered a ship to a station...System Map show me my ship is stored at a station....but still in transfer...!!!

After another update of the update...still the same bugs....

My advice: Cancel the hole update and give the community the old version back...which worked...and dont use us as you test rabbits !!!
Please take your IT-personnel to the big project FLEET CARRIERS to make at least this succesful !!!

...even more worst....

...Ladies & Gentlemen of the ELITE DANGEROUS Community,
it was a pleasure to see you in the black, but I'm tired that FD is not able to implement an update which is working.
I will park my space ship for an unknown time frame....see what have been fixed in a few month....

Based on my experiences here with FD I'm really scared of the December Update with FLEET CARRIERS and also the 2020 "BIG UPDATE"....don't expect too much....

I remember the "WAY OF ELITE DANGEROUS"...the plans FD made with ED in the future...they announced a SURPRISE for Elite Dangerous...for me it would be a surprise if an update would work correctly...

They might be to busy with other games like PLANET ZOO......

Goodbye !!!

I see the frontierstore.net site still has the nice pic with ELITE DANGEROUS / GAME EXTRAS / BUY NOW! shame it still takes you to a 404 page.

I'm sure FDev have multiple teams:
Web Team - not fixed the web site yet, maybe no one told them the update was yesterday?
B Team - responsible for the complete mess that is this update
A Team - working on 2020 stuff
QA Team - still away on their summer holidays I guess
Community Team - In hiding or phoning sick today

What happened to the beta servers and such before big updates? Too expensive?

Took you guys half a year to Undercook this update.

Leaving 100s of game breaking bugs, missing visual effects and many other things unfixed.
Whilst adding a broken ARX store to milk your playerbase, AND introduce new bugs.

Frontier Developments in a nutshell, have 0 expectations and still be dissapointed.

I love how you guys just keep pushing this game into a worse and worse state, and have the gonads to shove this ARX poopoo in our face.
Just shamefull, what company (besides EA and Bethesda ) that respects itself and its customers does this garbage.

this will continue until the community understands its importance and ability and says “enough, we don’t intend to stick to your rules anymore”, and also until it stops buying anything at all in the frontier store, until fd will not start working normally and efficiently. in this case, the fd will have only 2 simple options, to make concessions to the players, fix bugs, finally announce this very “new era” (although I doubt that at least they started to make it) or go bankrupt and go into oblivion with shame.

The update wasn't even that big.

 

[slippery]

This is a small update that has been messed up to the point the game isn't playable properly , just imagine what it's gonna be like after the December update !!

 

[zimms]

Think I will hit my old X2 & X3 game for a week or so until the dust settles. When i bought this game 5 weeks ago I wasn't aware that they make it unplayable every 3 or 4 months, I'm dreading December already.

Ironically this was all done to improve the experience for new players like you.

 

[Beauforty]

You should open an engineering is broken threads thread.

I see there is a thread open now, but still needs to be confirmed from FDev side.
I am happy to confirm here that engineers are bugged also on PS4...I can get into the Modifications panel but on screen navigation is impossible. Cursor disappears, messages overlap...and worst: you cannot get out of this screen again and you have to logout and in again.

 

[mearmortal]

Can I assume you did take snapshots at AWS before the upgrade right? Can't be that difficult to role it all back right? You did have a back out plan if it didn't work, right? right???

 

[Gunston]

BUG engeneerd models in storage gone

+cutter interior differs from exterior paint color

bravo more bugs introduced than fixed, prove me wrong

Same here all my stored modules have lost there engineering and special effects! what a joke took me months to engineer them.

Maybe they should cancel it. Seriously. Or use the opportunity to fix the looooong list of already existing bugs. In yer dreams...

Big update? this is really tiny update, in terms of 'new features' you have just:
new starter simulation - play once and forget
chevrons on speed gauge - nice
livery changes - broken on patch day
in game store - broken on patch day

I'm pretty sure they couldn't do the store and livery in beta as it's too tied into other systems and frankly the other two 'features' are trivial.

I'm up for that. No more purchases for me until this fiasco is fixed. In any case, what's the point in modding ships in an unplayable game, anyway?

 

[King Drax I]

Anyway I bet they're all still in a meeting. Drinking coffee.

 

[King Drax I]

This time they have screwed the pooch so thoroughly that it has had to be taken in to the gynae specialist down at the vet's

 

[Meresiga]

logged into Solo mode already at Palin Research Centre prior to update. Starport Services is in red text and can't be accessed, even after un-docking and re-docking the starport services are unavailable. I am unable to login to the issue tracker to add it as an issue even after linking my Steam account.

You need to read carefully the GALNET news, as the professor Palin, after the attack on him by Targoids-Aliens moved to a new place Arque on Abel Laboratory. But the old base in Maia and remained in the disconnected state.

It's obvious but apparently you don't know : the community managers aren't devs. So their twitts aren't slowing anything regarding bugfixes and dev.
