Wow... Update list looks Fantastic... very well balanced for ALL users, not just a 'thargoid war' update... Even have some stuff for Miners and VR-users.... and lots of 'issue tracker' list items addressed... Ton of QOL updates.... GREAT work guys.
obviously the opinions divert on this. We already had the first complaints that the update was lame because it had nothing but thargoid content before it was even launched. We don't know what content will be in the update apart from what was teased before. Yes, it will be mainly a war update. But nobody knows what else will be in it. And yet here we are. Let the moaning begin.
I have been on record saying I am giddy like a schoolgirl and looking very much forward to it. I read the patch notes and was very happy, lots of useful fixes, and even two (two!!!!) fixes for VR. I half expect Frontier to troll us with something completely unexpected, too.
Yes lots of stuff - BUT - the long-running "invisible planets in supercruise" appears to be still intractable for the developers. To me this is so annoying that I really don't play for very long at the moment (not interested in Thargoid stuff).
Can we please stop spamming every single thread with dozens of posts like these?
I've also read the patch notes and I'm super excited and super happy. Frontier have done a great job with this update.
Hopefully the performance updates and the bugfix for broken salvage missions are hidden because I couldn’t find them in the note
Are they going to fix the bug where NPCs are frozen to the spot in ground combat?
We'll have to wait and see. I'd be hopeful as Sally did say the amount of fixes was too long to list in her news post. I'd have thought that particular one was bad enough that it does deserve attention.
The full changelog is also already available here.
But of course that won't be 100% complete either, since no changelog ever is. Six months is a very long time and I'm sure at some point some developer fixed a very minor thing that didn't get communicated all the way to the CM team.
Me either, once made 47 million sniping with head shots. Haven't seen that happen in a long time though.
Boooooo
Not sure you can class that as extra VR stuff. VR legs, yes, slughtly brighter codex screen for VR users, meh.
I've never mentioned it before, but I feel like I notice little things (fix's) every few weeks on the Thursday tic... little corrected shadows... small color changes here and there... The way distant stars and nebula render... and I think the biggest one was about a year ago when the entire galaxy map background changed on a random thursday and I never saw anyone say anything. Seems like they are fixing little things all the time. Sometimes I question myself like 'did I not notice this before?'...
It has happened to me a couple of times. I found exiting the game and restarting seemed to fix it, but I couldn't say it's happened to me enough to say that'd work in every case.
I've been in a couple of AX instances with >50 cmdrs and wasn't aware of this bug. The usual problem with that many people is that enemies simply stop spawning (scenario stops progressing), probably because one of the many clients can't sync with the host.
Or maybe your graphics card is dying.
There are limitations to what can get fixed with a server patch. Rendering fixes usually need a client patch, unless it's of the sort that the server doesn't tell the client to spawn certain objects anymore.
Considering they mentioned no VR fixes on the current road map forward... This is absolutely HUGE news. It addresses that VR users are not on the forgotten user list. These 2 little steps are absolutely massive 'messages' to the VR players!
