Hi everyone,

In the last 24 hours a server side update has been implemented. See the change log below:

*- fixed a rare bug that caused problems with a small number of Commanders' cargo holds
*- removed duplicate commodities from the system map's import & export lists
*- restored bounty reports to the starport news*
- Reliability improvements to exploration scanning*

Let us know if this improves or changes your play experience at all. Keep the feedback coming.

Thanks for playing. See you in space.

I was wondering if something had changed - I'd been happily playing all day but suddenly in the past hour I'm back to the game freezing every time I drop out of SC at a station.

100% failure rate trying to get in the game (spinning sidewinder) over the last 24 hours. have tried at least 12 times at 4 different points over the past 8-9 hours.. Previously I had failures like this but would definitely have been in by now.

And oddly enough, I tried what I read before worked for someone -

Went into the "docking" tutorial.. immediately exited out of docking tutorial, and then I was able to connect to the server. Maybe coincidence, maybe something got reset..

Took a scrap hauling mission to Hill reserve. I was just about to enter Rangarajan platform when i got a crash. Tried to get back into game, but it was just showing the spinning sidewinder. I rebooted my machine and tried again, i could enter into game now. Noticed that the scrap hauling mission was gone from the mission list but the cargo was still in there displaying haulage status. Got another crash when i tried to enter rangarajan platform.

Next i tried solo play. That worked fine as i immediately got into game and even my scrap hauling mission was back again!. Delivered it to Hill reserve and everything went smoothly.

So it indeed seems that if you get a weird bug or some other missbehaviour, you could try solo play option as it seems to fix them sometimes (as with the previous poster).

It's hit and miss, I play mostly solo and haven't been able to get into the game for over a week now because, apparently, no docking bays are available even though I'm the only player in the instance.

What you explained is quite common to me, nothing that came with this update.

Solo play almost always works, online mode has a good chance for endless spinning. The chance for a spinning is lower going from solo to online, but not gone.

If the game crashes, bounty and missions usualy disappear, normaly resulting in your cargo status being changed to stolen.

Cant count how many times that happend to me already :(

Was playing solo when patch applied and no longer able to find nav beacons. Also was able to lock up and target ships at over 700ls. Quit out to desktop back to solo - same. Tried open play - same. Tried Styx, Ovid and Magec - same

Wish you wouldn't introduce changes at going home time on a Friday. We are stuck with the result all weekend

Nice to see more fixes, just in time for the weekend. :)

Shok.

Sorry to say things have got worse for me over the past 24 hrs. I can get into the game, and it doesn't crash (too often) :), but very choppy gameplay. also over the past few days I've barely seen another Cmdr.

Played for a couple of hours this evening and I must say this has been the smoothest session I've ever had with ED. Almost instant loading to and from hyperspace / supercruise and no crashes. FPS in planetary rings seems a lot smoother and consistent now too. Great work Frontier.

Everything was going nicely for me, playing in private group... until I got a CTD using the galaxy map... again.

Still seeing stations with empty bb's, and populated systems with no stations/outposts... but other than that, things were smooth.
