Patch Notes Update Update 1.07 Incoming - 11am GMT

[Hydrino]

Maybe a bit unrealistic, but as you said, it sounds exciting so they really don't need to change this as I see it. It is avoidable by looking at the system map after all.

Well, the system I was in only had two outposts and that was it. I chose the closest one for the first landing.

I'm OK with all the brutal parts of the game. But it was a bit of a downer to make it to that first station and be able to sit there forever, breathing fine. But no chance to have my stored Freagle flown to me, no repair option, just stranded.

Just a thought. Not overly fussed about it.

Thx Michael

Thank you for this update !!

Good luck for the 1.8.

1.08

FPS drop from 60 to 15. A couple more of those "performance tweaks" and i will not be able to load the game.

Just stop updating it.

I see group play is still messed up, got a pretty popular system with folks all to myself right now.

Hello I still (since GAMMA 1.01) have the problem that ONLY ED is somehow throttling of the GPU USAGE of my AMD HD7970M, causing a massive reduction of the FPS especially in warzones and extraction sites when some GFX effects like CHAFF are visible!

A simple test with chaff show the problem (slowing down the GPU USAGE AND FPS to very low UNPLAYABLE values).
This was confirmed by an other user with an HD7970M,
(the HD7070M is a powerfull laptop GPUs with 3DMark score of P7300)

Hopping that support will sometime take a look into this problem and my ticket......

I have a similar problem with my ASUS laptop and NVIDIA GeForce 635M card, how did you get the stats to appear at the top of the screen?

 

[stevesideas]

THanks for that patch.

Any news on when the Galaxy map will be fixed for Oculus users ? It's been completely un-usable with DK2 since the start !

 

[Azamo]

Seems the fuel gauge (fuel per hour) is broken in new patch and for some reason in frame shift the cockpit zooms in and is starting to hide part of the fuel display. After exiting frame shift it returns to normal

This is the MSI AFTERBURNER easy to find in the web

Hey StefanosA

Do yourself a favour, and get yourself a GTX card. Problem solved....

Not easy to change a gfx card in a laptop....
And the performance of the HD7970M is great for a lappy 3dMark P7300

 

[Alec Turner]

Err, is it just me or since this patch are gimballed weapons doing odd things when you look at them in outfitting. Mine appear to have a semi.

I wouldnt say completely unusable, but it could be better. I have mine set up so that I can navigate around easily and can select and access the menus pretty easily also. Only thing thats a hassle is needing to take the dk2 off when I want to type a system name in the search box.

 

[Pixeldemon]

Its coming, but it's a longer term job. I'll include it in a dev update a bit nearer to its release.

Michael

Michael, in my opinion, missions and events are the single biggest problem with the game right now. They desperately need more templates with more exciting content in lieu of a fully dynamic redesign. I made a (long) post here if you're interested: thread

Thanks for keeping us updated on your plans!

 

[GibMeister]

I like the fact that the number of "fix's" are getting smaller patch by patch, that means that its only the Nasty ones that are left and more Dev's can look at them.

keep up the good work FD, am relay loving this game

Gleep

Getting smaller, but still haven't fixed any of the issues I see daily. They are doing the easy fixes, the hardest will be shoved back to major updates. Considering probably on 1or 2 guys are bug fixing they are doing a sterling job!

 

[Lirezh]

How about:
* judder fix (removal of frame rate cap when there are many objects)
* new missions
* better enemy spawns
* fix of wanted status after allied police moves into your shot
* better AI (AI sidewinders attacking and intercepting player anacondas)
* color fix for VR

Good luck for the 1.8

1.08

 

[xondk]

Good news.

Though personally am waiting for sharing missions/bounties and such rather then this currently, right now its kinda tricky to help friends or cooperate with missions or such....kinda want this fixed running a little dry on the game without these features.
Still a great great game, don't get me wrong, but singleplayer games (which it mostly feels like right now) burn me out a little I want some interaction of one kind or another, still playing, just not as much.

Hey folks, first time posting, because I have a rather dire issue after this last patch...

I am completely unable to communicate with ANY station.

So the full story:

Last night after the patch deployed I hopped on for some trading, and ended up running out of fuel 2 Ls from my destination. Logged out of frustration while asphyxiating and went to bed. Came back this morning and self-destructed, spawned in my old ship in my old station. Re-bought the cargo I lost due to lack of fuel, and jumped to the same system. I actually got to the station this time around, and pulled up my comms panel to request docking. No contacts. Tried to enter anyways, got a fine. Headed back to the station I undocked from before and found the same thing upon arrival.

Now, I know I'm a groundhog just learning to fly, but I shouldn't be barred from docking with every station I was just docking with. Can anyone help me?

Works fine for me. Just don't use the mouse. Here's a link to a thread on it, along with videos:

That said, it would be nice to get the mouse working somehow. Perhaps make the whole thing larger, but further, so you get less parallax. It would work like VR Desktop.

 

[Queebatron]

Thanks for a new patch, FD. Now can anyone who's already played report on whether the texting to friends that the game reports as online is actually dependably working?

 

[Phoenix]

Now, the launcher hangs when I log in. It completely hangs and does not come to the point to allow for a game client update.
That effectively blocks me from playing.

Any ideas on that?
