Patch Notes Update Update 1.06 Incoming - 11am GMT

[GibMeister]

Hi everyone,

update 1.06 is incoming at 11am GMT,..........
- Added a safety net so that permits awarded on faction ranks (Imperial and Federal) will be forcibly added at the rank above if the player hasn't been able to access the mission for whatever reason

Thanks!

Michael

As suspected Michael, this has not fixed this issue, certainly for me. Yes I now have a bucket load of permits but I still cannot do any Federal Missions because it says they are unobtainable because I have the plx695 permit...... Am I missing something here? Does that mission need deleted from my game so the new missions can come through???????

I am missing the fix for private groups. Checked with a friend yesterday evening, and we were both in the same system, same station - but not in the same instance. Same as previous patch. As stated above, only if any1 logs in roughly the same time and have the same server ip, it works. Getting a bit upset about this.... mechanic...

It worked first time for me and a fellow commander last night, so testing for me so far is that it's better.

Friends seems to be broken. I have two accounts and both show Friends as being offline. I know this can't be the case, not everyone

With the new patch I lost my control settings. Went into control options to adjust the dead zones for the X52P and apply does not do a save.

Now that I'm thinking about it, it kicked me over onto the generic stick. That would explain the inverted pitch and roll. Barely made it out of the station alive (guess I am getting god at inside landings).

Anyway, help..no controls saves.

"Fix for matchmaking in private groups"

Yeah, so this wasn't fixed. I still can't see my friend or anyone from any private groups.

It may be a different issue - raise a ticket so we can take a look.

how long does it take to restart a server? 2 hours and counting apparently

The server was up 2 minutes after the update, it did not even kick me while i was playing, but you do have to restart the launcher, and press the UPDATE button.. or it will never "Restart The Server"...

Just a guess, but are you running the game with Admin Privileges on your computer? That would stop the game from saving settings.

Still no fix for the data.ovx validation error I see. Ongoing since release.

Reporting it to support is pointless as you just get a canned response to uninstall everything and then reinstall everything (which of course means a 3+GB download).

If anyone is getting this - Report it to support, and then when you get the automated response reply immediately saying "Nope - Still broken". Then use the workaround posted by CMDR Mack - See the support forum on this board (right near the bottom). And when it happens with 1.07 simply rinse, repeat.

Cheers

Still a pain to get into the same instance as my friends while in privet groups. Sometimes when we do there are members of the group that cant see each other (cant even see some of the enemy ships the invisible players can). We have to all log out and back in at roughly the same time to even have a chance of seeing each other in game.....

This is the same for me! It works better than 1.05 but sometimes i can't see my friends in game.
For the other things very useful patch, good work.

Friends list and comms appear broken for me. No one ont he menu screen RHS any more. All friends in the friends list showing as offline. No comms available.......

OK - I call shenanigans. No comms since the update at 11.15 yesterday and then as soon as I post this, they come alive again!

 

[StackR8]

Yes I did. Anyway I uninstalled it and deleted the folder then reinstalled it, with Admin Privileges. In control options I can make adjustments in the X52P screen and the generic screen but neither is saved when I click apply.

 

[Michael Brookes]

Oh oh oh oh oh my god. So it's just a cronjob? lmao absolutely hysterical. It's how I would have done it, but I can't believe that's how actual developers did it. Hilarious.

How 'bout running that job more than once a day?

Because it can take hours to complete the job.

The new webserver update has a fix for long friends lists which might apply in this case.

Any news on the broken friends list Michael? Matchmaking is still touch and go but maybe better as I only had to log out and back in 3 times to see a mate last night .

As far as I understand it should be fixed with todays webserver update:

Whatever you just fed the server elves worked...... A 1 minute response time from posting to it magically disappearing after 24 hours is fantastic. Whatever they're on, I want some.

Any plans on adding ingame features to the webpage? Stuff like friendlist (who is online), friendrequests, location of your ships? I would love to see that stuff without having to go ingame, especially for managing the friendlist.

Hey, some of us actual developers have cronjobs that take over a week to complete .
