Update 11 - Release Date Change

[zimms]

Yeah, it's probably a good idea to stop committing to dates altogether. Just let it flow naturally.

Frontier can't develop when we're looking? Makes sense.

Due to an unforeseen issue we will be moving Odyssey Update 11 by a few days. We will keep you updated when we have more details to share.

Your main developer has just started his new job at Cloud Imperium Games?

It's the fundamental principle of Heisenberg's Developers.

What i find laughable is folks complain if something is released with bugs - enter the "its still a beta" brigade and then slag off the Devs when they delay something they think isn't ready

Cheer up in these trying times, its here when its here

Picture nowt to do with the thread but funny af

You know I kind of agree and I expect that if it made them kill it a couple days out from releasing the bug was pretty bad. That said.... we all know that we're going to get both. Delayed release and a lot of bugs. It's not like we really get a clean end product no matter how long the wait. But yes, the forums are made of of different people and they will complain no matter what course of action a company decides on.

It's more the lack of a course of action for me at the moment. Not sure what course we are on, if any (and the "oh haha, U11 was supposed to be announced for and released in February" makes me think they don't know either).

Btw, Update 2 for JWE2 was released today.
It ads, among other things, DLAA support for NVidia RTX cards

Looking forward to see it coming to Odyssey too (hopefully it will come eventually)

Greetings Commanders.
Due to an unforeseen issue we will be moving Odyssey Update 11 by a few days. We will keep you updated when we have more details to share.

Only just found this out!
Really should have made a new thread for this news instead burying it in 30+ page old thread!

I think FDEV made the right decision to postpone U11 until it is in good condition for release. Fingers crossed it will not only be postponed and still be a mess after release.
Anyhow, from my side they did what we have been requesting from them. Do some solid quality control before release.
Thx FDEV

We could just massively tune in to Jens Erik playing JW2 and have him name all the dinosaurs after Elite stuff.

And here's Open Only, getting a bit too close to Panther Clipper. Oh no! Ship Interiors has attacked!

Do some solid quality control before release.

Not to be too cynical, but they didn't say the unforeseen issue was with the update.

 

[Fizzatron]

What on earth makes you think that?
Look at Rockstar games GTA - it is on every platform ever! and they are much bigger than FDev.

Note, BTW I played both GTA on PS (my favorite was GTA London '69) and ED on spectrum 128 - who's the winner?

GTA 6 is said to be unlikely to come to Xbox One or PS4.

Oh no, there's too much poop in State Of The Game's enclosure again. We should really move that to the Off-Topic section of the park so visitors are less likely to notice it.

Apart from that I remember he spent what felt like half an hour admiring the interior of his ship while constantly emphasizing that he could never go back (to Elite). Look, a bunk bed to sit on. And a locker to store stuff in. Yay. And the gameplay was... zero. Granted, it was pretty to look at, but that was it.

Being encouraged to publicly burn bridges is a cult red flag, or just sour grapes. Or both.

 

[Schattenmacher]

It's beginning to feel like an eternal construction site.
When the roof is finished, the basement will have to be renovated again.

Star Citizen looks absolutely brilliant. I've been resisting because I think I'm only going to have time for one or the other. But I think I'm going to have to go for it.

Sure Elite will get Fleet Carrier interiors, but every ship within Star Citizen has ship interiors. All of them!

A lot of the streamers who used to play Elite now stream Star Citizen since Odyssey failed and due to continuing lack of content from Elite. Most say they could never go back to Elite now they've played Star Citizen and I just feel like I'm losing out. I've got to be honest.

I absolutely love Drew Wagers streams on it. As well as D2EA and Citizen Kate. Well worth a watch.

I love how the message is that SC fixes all the issues of Elite with no mention of same or similar issues either being present or worse in that game, along with many other issues that Elite lacks and features that SC lacks in comparison to Elite. But you do you bud.

I popped on to the forum to read patch notes and saw this thread at the top of the stack and knew what had happened without even having to read a single post.

Oh no, please don't leave us swilling around in Ender's droppings for another week...

 

[Red Anders]

You could always try not replying to them in the first place

Yeah but where's the fun in that?

 

[Ian Phillips]

Just so it is abundantly clear - Star Citizen and stock prices have absolutely nothing to do with the thread topic.

Stay ON TOPIC please.

Grabs very on topic popcorn
