Patch Notes Update Update 1.1 Incoming - Clipper hot fix (1.1.01) 7.15 pm GMT

[Greebie]

Thanks for your help! Can't find the folder 'app data'. When I look at properties for my user folder, windows declares that I have 4.5 gig of 'stuff' but all the folders appear to be empty. I only installed windows to play Elite. Any of you windows users out there know how I could find the beta, so I can delete it? I have tried searching but windows can't find any of the folders in relating to ED launch etc.

AppData is a hidden folder so, by default, you can't see it but you can navigate to it if you type it into the Explorer address bar.

Try going to the "Organize" menu in Windows Explorer, choosing "Folder and search options", clicking on "View" and then clicking the "Show hidden files, folders and drives" option.

Liking these changes a lot so far. They've really improved the game for me.

 

[MrNelz]

A light of positivity,

After successfully patching to 1.1 I can only report that all is working fine and no dramas here.
Well done FD!!

 

[FS3DPete]

It's been over 6 hours here and the download has not finished.... Great patching system guys...

That's right... Blame FDEV. Never mind the fact that other people haven't had these problems. My download was swift. FDEV have no control over your particular configuration.

Hello, i was just toasted by an anaconda because my weapons would not gear up due to power problems and i waas trying to fix the issue during the fight.
before release 1.1 my power output and surge was exactly at 99%, now it is at 106% !!!

That means, either the power output of the A power generator was reduced or the power surge of some of the following weapons was raised substantially (beam lasers 1,2 / Rail Gun 1 / Missile Dumbifre 2).

It would be great to ad this rebalancing issue to the list of the changes to avoid another CMDR to be toasted out there in his VIPER.

Fly ambitious...
CMDR St-Rs

Sorry, are you saying an A power generator on an Anaconda cannot power a modest set of weapons? Are you able to clarify the weapons you had? You haven't got multiple shield cells have you?

Unusual Lions in Outer Space

This is not a complaint!!!

I have started to hear Lions roar in hyperspace jumpy thingy... I thought it must just be me....but my little girl came in last night to see the Lions she could hear, and to be honest, she doesn't come in to see the space game, only the Lions!!!!
Also noticed that just before I land I can hear an old style 'Trill' phone going off...I think Space sickness has taken me....must get back and trade and find other unnatural sounds.

P.s. Don't listen for them...once you hear them, you cannot unhear them

FDEV do have control over how it is downloaded
And doing though that launcher is Not a good way.
They could put it up on more servers, faster servers. There are ways to improve this.

There is a ton of people getting 0.03Mbit speeds from the launcher on their 100Mbit connections. That is Not Good

Sorry if this has been asked and answered. I promise I did at least a vague search prior to asking. Are we (beta testers) supposed to delete the Public_Test_Server file folder from our ED install? I ask because I'm running the game on my SSD and want to keep it as free of unnecessary files as I can and this file is 3.5GB.

 

[Patrick_68000]

I am always amazed that there are some people who after 6 hours and 50% of downloading, still waiting for the full downloading. For my part, I'll not wait. I'll save the electricity and I'll come back later

 

[Alec Turner]

Is anyone else seing the text in the Contracts panel (2nd tab, left hand HUD panel) with a white background rather than the usual orangey yellow? Is this deliberate? It look horrible.

Edit: actually it might be called Transactions

FDEV do have control over how it is downloaded

So they can independently decide that one user will only be able to download at 0.5MBPs while others can download at 20MBPs, can they? At the exact same time? Because several comments in this forum have implied that the experience people have gotten is consistent with this disparity.

And doing though that launcher is Not a good way.

That depends on a number of factors. A blanket statement like the one I just quoted from you does not cover every scenario. Steam use their own download system for their games, and I have yet to encounter a fault with anything I've ever purchased from them.

They could put it up on more servers, faster servers. There are ways to improve this.

You're assuming that everyone is getting the same problem. As I already explained, I did not. My download was quick, and I'm also on a FTTC connection that averages 60-70MBPs downlink speeds. In fact, my download was done within a few minutes of my starting it, which was right in the middle of someone else who was experiencing download speeds that would have taken days to complete.

So once again... Blaming FDEV for the discrepancy is a bit simplistic in my book.

There is a ton of people getting 0.03Mbit speeds from the launcher on their 100Mbit connections. That is Not Good

And there's a number of other people who are not encountering any issues whatsoever downloading the client at all. If everyone was experiencing the issue, you might have a case, but it['s not everyone. It's not even the majority. It's far too inconsistent and unpredictable an issue to make those kinds of judgments.

I just deleted mine. I assume it's safe since the beta for 1.1 is now over and the folder was not present prior to the beta beginning.

I agree that bounty hunting should be improved, but sho should NPC AI difficulty. But bounty hunting should NEVER be "balanced" or similar to trading. Trading is all about profit as a result of commerce, bounty hunting is not.

Trading should have much more volatility and unpredictability. The reliable profits should come from misions, not grinding bulk trading. Bounty huntin should have much more dangerous opponents (and no psycho rats flying shieldless death traps) and bounties that scale much higher.

Heck. I want to be offered a lot of money to take down a gang, and I mostly fly a Cobra. Somebody in a Dropship or Python should get the chance to try and take down a proper pirate boss and their henchmen.

 

[Adept]

Those little things called "Hatch Breaker Limpets" nobody uses

A proper pirate uses them

Once they get the pirate thing working as intended, a whole lot more will do so as well. Remember the whole "declaration of piracy" idea.

 

[pacino23]

Wow...... That's a LOT of fixes! Nice work devs, keep it up.

 

[Marc_Hicks]

Hey, any idea how to fix the issue with the data.ovx file? I keep running into a validation issue as I'm trying to upgrade to 1.1!!!!

 

[Universal Evil]

All though I don't mind the changes you did to the beam laser heatint up my viper fast I do mind that you somehow turned the Python into a cargoship whitch isn't able to give a desent fight back...

I haven't meet an Elite Python(NPC) yet but master, expert and Deadly Are way to easy to kill now it takes about 30 sec to kill them and that is way too fast for my taste(Btw I'm not a highly skilled bounty hunter)
please tweak them up a bit again, the 'conda also seems a bit nerfed down but I'm not sure about that only meet 1 Deadly on my fist testrun of 1.1 this morning... Didn't have more time to search the asteriod belt...

Thank you! That did the trick. I knew there was an option in windows to hide folders, just didn't have a clue how to do it. Have some rep!

 

[Mikolaj]

Rather curious about the ramming (or really collision damage) as well. I'd hate to lose a fully shielded ship to a bad scrape or a slightly rough landing...

ramming still sucks. if it happens to you. just got killed by a type 9 grinding me against the space station while I was trying to undock. they really need to reduce the damage from this with Npc the pop up out of nowhere.

 

[Mikolaj]

thats to bad about the Python was the only really good ship in the game almost makes me want to quit playing. Nerfing the good things in a game really cause a lot of players to leave!

 

[Michael Brookes]

We're working on a few priority issues and in particular the excessive collision damage issue. I don't have an eta for a fix, but once we have it we'll release an update.
