Patch Notes Update Update 1.06 Incoming - 11am GMT

[scoda]

Aren't you guys suppose to say: No worries.



That's what I remember from my trip down below anyway. A breath of fresh air compared to basically being harassed by LA customs when passing through there on our way.

You mean 'No Wucken Forries' ?

 

[Tronicus]

We never have and we never will, not with EA, not with Ubi, certainly not with Blizzard. This is why having a "solo" mode that requires a net connection is totally and utterly unacceptable until the availability and stability of servers can be guaranteed. We're over a month from release now, breaking servers with a minor update is little league stuff.

There's obvious reasons we all shipped you guys to that island....

 

[LeeArac]

Heck, wouldn't it be nice if we even merited a mention of the one-hour-plus unscheduled downtime on the page supposedly set up precisely to inform us of such issues?

But we don't, because Australia. Thanks guys.

Same error occurred when setting up my brothers account. Had to do with DirectX, not ED

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately dX updater says that I have the most recent version already installed. No errors in Dxdiag either.

Do you have the single player combat training installed? A friend of mine had this same error until he uninstalled the single player combat training.

Yeah, I do. How am I supposed to uninstall just a combat training...?

Michael when will there be a bug fix for pending states not beeing displayed in the system status faction tab. The current pending states disapear after you look into 3-4 other factions states. You have to log out and in the game to have it displayed correctly again.

Hi Michael, are there any plans to make station news more location aware and graphically memorable? It's difficult to recognize top tier NPC's when it's just names in a text box.

^^ This!!!

Really? Do I have to use the 'Harden Up Princess' on another Aussie?

Hi Michael, I'm getting a validation error when I try and upgrade

c:\users\admin\appdata\local\frontier_developments\products\FORC-FDEV-D1010\WIN32\data.ovx

Any ideas what this is? Thanks

No one else getting this validation error? Last time this happened I had to troll the internet for an uncorrupted version of the data.ovx file. Don't suppose anyone whose successfully updated to 1.06 would mind posting theirs? Pretty please.

Well after 1.06 I still have the unacceptable Federal mission for the Sol permit. I already have a Sol permit from being a Founder. I am ranked Midshipman. I have Sol, Beta Hydri, Plx 695 and Founder world permits after 1.06.

Any fix for this?

 

[cletus]

continent. UK is an island. We have one or two around our continent. Tassie and New Zealand.

 

[Bikky]

Nice update...

However had to re-read this bit....

- Fixed issue with influence

My eyes wandered to the door as I read this bit, and saw it as " - Fixed issue with Flatulance"

Any fix for this?

Only thing that needs fixing is not displaying the "mission" when you already have the permit, and changing the wording to not tell you to go there immediately for another mission (as you don't get a new mission when you visit, and get the permit immediately). You'll find your next rank up mission elsewhere.

There was I thinking it was the electrics on the blink... Just a random hazard of docking. Can't we intentionally have minor outages like this, or even selecting "Enter Hangar" not working due to a mechanical failure so you're assigned a new docking pad (if you're lucky and there's one available), but with a tighter time limit - or the option of accepting a small financial credit from the station or outpost if you leave right away? Subsequent docking requests which would otherwise be denied for a sensible period of time could be denied with a new reason while repairs were undertaken.

Random thoughts...

Way back when, stations occasionally glitched out, causing timeouts, temporary "denied" responses, and even pad allocation errors (on approach you'd get a message redirecting you to the correct one). Now while they would get tired quickly if used to excess, I kind of miss getting them sporadically. I even wondered whether they were intentional. Sometimes it's the flaws that make things seem real.

I'm sure everything will be rosie for us in OZ in the morning... Bed is calling.. o7

 

[Hermann]

In Australia can't connect to server!!!!!!!!

Yep found that out also after the patch update none of my buddies in AUS can connect to server..... pooo no ED to night for us

 

[maddavo]

In Australia can't connect to server!!!!!!!!

Ditto. Upgraded to 1.06 but keeps saying Server 54.170.20.117:19364 unconnected. Ages now.

 

[ZephyrDark]

The first is fixed in 1.1. I'm not sure on the second.

Michael

Good news. Heres a video showing the second bug a little more in depth, I'll add it to my ticket as well if its possible.

[Hominin]

Looking at it doesn't seem to be working. Can you try harsh language?

seems they worked out how to reset the server, back to gaming

 

[IEatPelicans]

My aussie server issue appears to be fixed

 

[CmdrZaratan]

Given it's been down for over 2 hours now, something must be seriously knackered. I feel a bit sorry for whoever is trying to figure out what's gone pear shaped.
