I have updated my support ticket, game won't launch at all - I have un-installed and re-installed and all I get is spinning sidewinder.

reinstalling was a waste of time for you. i'm having problems as well so it's serverside related.
 
Worst day I've had in a while. If it wasn't constant disconnections it was crashing going in and out of jump. Basically spent a good few hours running checks, pinging my server and doing all the leg work to ensure it wasn't from my end.

Lots of hangs in the various menus at the starports.. buying a ship and crashed mid way through transaction. Adding new skin and crashed.. new guns, crash etc etc...

This build seems a lot less stable than 04.. the exits from cruise are faster when they work, but otherwise bring back 1.06 lol

:D
 
Also haven't been able to get in - tried a few times over the past couple of hours..

East Coast USA player here if it matters.. (Philadelphia PA)
 
Wow

Played last night. Completely blown away. Don't know how / what you chaps are doing but keep doing it. Really smooth gameplay. Did have two lock ups /ctrl alt del but was back in game within 30 seconds. I am in the UK on fibre. Lots of people having problems so thought you could do with some positive comments. I have an old rig, Intel Quad with a GTX 275 Amped running HOT so have had some issues but everything seemed so much better. Love this game x
 
sorry it was "failure to perform mission transaction" after accepting a mission

Bit academic reading all the posts though seems there are major server problems everywhere

On that guys point about "negative" feedback, this is beta testing we're supposed to feedback negative stuff that's the whole point !!

(but yes I agree the guys at Elite have / are doing a great job)
 
Can we get a definitive answer about the 'spinning sidewinder - game not launching' issue.

I know it's beta and I'm not moaning but seriously this fault is now older than the hills, can we get a technical statement out about what you have found out in relation to this issue?
 
The team has spent the last week searching through the logs with a fine-toothed comb to iron out any issues or problems with the build.

This latest server side specific update is a result of the ongoing testing from the community. The Elite: Dangerous team have dealt with technical problems that they wouldn't have otherwise found if it wasn't for the tickets you've been logging.

These updates are already live and don't require a galaxy server restart.

See the change log below:

- Commanders should no longer be fined 1 credit when the System Authorities find stolen cargo with a scan
- Commanders should once again be able to purchase ships that cost less than their current ship's trade-in value when they don't have sufficient credits to buy it without the part exchange
- Improvements to server balancing to make it more likely to encounter other Commanders in a given star system
- Fixed crash to desktop when hyperspacing to certain unpopulated star systems, and fixed exploration scanning whilst there
- Enabled per-commodity restock rates in Commodity Markets
- Commanders with large quantities of cargo in their holds should no longer receive such favourable prices
- Commanders who fly very quickly between Space Stations should no longer receive data for the wrong Commodity Market

If you have any questions, please put them in the forum thread below. Keep posting tickets and let us know any other problems you have. The team keep a close eye on the forums, and with your help any future issues can be fixed.

Thanks for all your hard work.
 
All morning could not get missions or buy/sell transactions to work. "Could not connect to server" message. Went away for a few hours; still the same.

All this has already been ticketed. So I guess I'm off to WoT, or WT or ??.

The game is unplayable since I can't make money to buy fuel ... I'm already low on credits. ... stuck somewhere around 36 Draconis.

I'll check back later. Have a nice day
 
P2P is geographically localized if you play open play, and disappearing stations weren't a thing in SB1, because they worked on island health measurements and didn't allow to join bad sessions.

Not seen mention of the geographical matching implemented for P2P that's why it has been so laggy while connecting to players across globe.

Maybe you did not get them but disappearing stations occurred in SB1, see the posts.
 
Whatever they did server side needs reverting to before they did it, as all it is causing is problems even in Solo.

Played for hours yesterday and day before no issues, now after this server side effort, get delays accessing the Bulletin Board, no access to sell mapping Data etc (same as everybody) and sometimes when leaving SC get randomly dropped somewhere else in system.

Never had those issues previously to this supposed Server Side fix.

Just took me five attempts to drop out at Romanenko Estate without appearing at Rukavishnikov Platform some175 Ls distance away from where I should have been, had similar issues dropping at Wingrove Platform and appearing at Bixby Platform.

Giving it a rest now in hope of a revertion on servers or at least a better fix.
 
I'm surprised there's been no response. I just tried again ... I'm in the US and play solo exclusively, I can connect as long as its the Cobra spinning (strange as it seems) ... I can launch/ fly/ land/ ... I can open markets and missions but I can't buy/sell or accept missions ... in fact this time the mission list came up blank (in a high tech system).

I flew from one system to Dharai (I think) no problem but still get the "can not connect to server" messages in market and missions screens ... plus I've discovered all kinds of things but can't sell the cartographics.

Shame the weekend is starting out this way. I had hoped to upgrade more modules but with no money ... no go. ... back to other games I suppose
 
Spent another hour testing...

First time, didn't get a server connection to begin, and start was disabled. It connected after a while and joined private group.

Totally unplayable. BB was taking ages to load, long pauses to select and accept each mission. Stuttering frame rate, pauses and hangs.

Quit, relaunched, and played solo.

Better, but still some hangs on the bb.
