Update 14.02 Now Live!

[Ian Doncaster]

IIRC recovery was automatic for 4 weeks, then returned to normal (for 1 week?) before it could be an alert and then Invasion could possibly happen again.
Surely, reducing the recovery period by a week (or several weeks) would not be advisable as it can then be Invaded again quicker than otherwise!

The same system being reinvaded might not be a bad thing - encouraging them to waste time fighting us in expendable winnable systems rather than moving on to new ones which might have something we really don't want them to have, for example.

Equally, if they did invade a system which had something important - iSola Prospect in Brestla's convenient "full outfitting" isn't that far from the front lines, for example - getting it back up and running sooner might still be a good trade-off for having to stop their next Alert in it sooner as well.

Okay...
The instances still aren't resetting properly. We just killed the 2 hydras at the end and the instance has been stuck for over 25 mins and hasn't completed. (Surface Port in HIP 20899).
Also - the chat is still full of NPC AX pilot spam - really annoying when trying to coordinate with other players.

Killing Hydras (at least, may be an issue for other interceptors) is sometimes not counting for my mission. Genuinely annoying considering how long they take to kill just to not get credit besides the bonds....

 

[Bannor101]

dont even get that far. the upgrade button just gets a bit darker

aye, same, anyone worked out a fix for this yet? 32gb RAM with 5gb pagefile, see a "quota exceeded" message box after I End Task the Launcher

Edit: I clicked on the Elite Dangerous: Horizons option in the list, then clicked Upgrade, then you get the status bar and it updates. I think it is actually updating when you click Upgrade when you have the Elite Dangerous: Odyssey option selected as well, but it just doesn't show you any progress?

maybe some changes will come in effect after the weekly server reset, but why have us guess and get agitated?
now I remember why they say:
" Never play on patch day!"

State of surface (on-foot) missions in new (thargoid war) system states in relation to patch-notes announced for 14.02: Atm it simply doesn't work.

Systems do not have stations with active concourses (so reactivation mission cannot be offered), systems with some of stations with active concourse have offered missions leading to systems with abandoned settlements (i.e. such mission will be not working and can be only abandoned), stations with concourse in systems in post-recovery state are rare (this actually is OK, but there should be at least one such station per system), but problem is that there are offered big numbers of missions leading to abandoned settlements (i.e. such missions will not work) and there are offered exactly ZERO amount of reactivation missions. This should be correct/intended state of 14.02 update? Maybe, MAYBE it could be that there is needed first to happen an Thursday's "reset" needed to get this working properly ... BUT WHY is such info not said to players in advance? Right now are most of on-foot missions offered in thargoid war systems broken and 14.02 update seems do not had any effect ...

This above is a sign of bad quality of work on update or poor deployement of update or lacks of proper official info given to players or mixture of all of it. I fully understand that this is quite a hars comment from my side, but sadly I do not have much reasons to be a satisfied player right now. Not mentioning that this kind of issues happens again and again and again with practically every update.

EDIT: is also possible that settlements reactivation should be done completelly outside of the currently broken mission system. The problem is (if this is the case), that such info is not clearly enough given to players via patch notes.

EDIT2: Could be than there needed to be an "Tick" happen first. Latest state of offered missions is shown here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/update-14-02-now-live.613884/post-10070870

Attached is few screenshots which demonstrates on-foot missions non-functional state:

 

[LordLocksley]

Same, stuck on "preparing for update"

dont even get that far. the upgrade button just gets a bit darker

For those having this issue, I found that the installation process is doing something that is making Windows Defender nuts. It was hammering the SSD hard while the Elite launcher was "prepairing for update".

Once I disabled temporally Windows Defender, the update proceeded flawlessly in a matter of minutes. Just make absolutely sure to avoid doing anything else meanwhile, and enable it back afterwards.

Is the shadow nerf on pay outs for ax combat intentional? Literally 0 mention of it anywhere on any of your previous or current media.

I’m currently in another thread in the forum about this:

AX Bounty Reduced?

Just killed 3 Cyclops and all registered 6.5m CR each!!!? Come on Pilots Federation! BTW, CMDRs currently ranking about 40ish@Desurinbin on Inara but I did an experiment yesterday and I killed 1 Medusa + 2 Cyclops but only 1 additional kill was registered. How does the kill get assigned@AXZC?

forums.frontier.co.uk

As soon as day breaks, I’ll be looking into clarity on this (I do need bed soon though) o7

This worries me.
I’ll take this to attention tomorrow along with the other items I’ve called out in current discussions o7

 

[Edi Calot]

Is the game only for those who have the Odissey complement? ´Cause the upgrade made the Horizons crash. Not even inicializing....

 

[Edi Calot]

At launcher -> options -> untick check cache, then click upgrade, it will run much faster.

That seemed to have worked... it started... ty

Sorry to say but this, is sadly the truth. I believe that every dev and CM give their best. We’re not letting you down, but please bring up some quality fixes, we do understand that elite is a monster of coding and tweaking things.

But honestly it’s hard to stay fresh into the game when this things happens. In all honor, of the effort that was taken. We need some real fixes without provoke new bugs. As he said it before, it’s an oddysee, every update breaks two new things, like you cut of the head of an Medusa and there are 3 new ones comes out. Do not get it please as an harassment comment, it’s just honest opinion.

 

[Moomin_DK]

Cargo scoop stuck on python

 

[sallymorganmoore]

Yep yep, saw that. But that was about an improvement to rather than a fix of - if I'm reading it right.

No further mention as no additional improvements have been made at this point, but I think I read you were doing ok with the issue following the first round so that’s a relief to know in the meantime.

Still keeping tabs on the situation regardless.

Any more detailed info on this to help me out would be incredibly useful, Moomin.

Anectodal but I have several available at HIP 20527.

 

[Chrizaim]

Thargoid spacelegs?

 

[Martind Forlon]

Anectodal but I have several available at HIP 20527.

Can you please take mission board screenshot and check if there are still also other missions leading to abandoned settlements? Ive spent few hours in few systems in area where I was searching for these missions, but all I found was not working missions.


... could be there may be "tick" effect in progress ... is late, but will check mission board again now.

 

[Vasenkov]

No restore missions in recovery systems available. Aw, shucks. I really was waiting for those.

I tried manually activating settlement without mission, but that had no effect on general settlement status

 

[Martind Forlon]

OK, seems that it really may be an "Tick" related stuff. Same place I was docked hour ago, where were not any reactivation missions. Now it looks quite differently:

And second half of mission leads now to systems outside of war area, so they should be now functional too.
