Hi all.
The server gremlins have been captured and the hamsters released from their grasp. You should now be able to access the game.

Yes, but only as New Commander.
I also can't choose between OPEN and GROUP or individual player.
There is only one start button.

Have you restarted your game? It can sometimes take a little while for all servers to catch up. If you are still getting this in the next 30 minutes or so please let us know.

I even restarted my system multiple times. I'll report back later if the problem persists.

@Paul_Crowther: Thanks, that's exactly what solved the problem for me.

Is the system map freezing bug going to be addressed at some point or will this continue indefinitely?
it's a very annoying and basic bug; I know there are workarounds but why not fix it or announce it's not going to be fixed?

 

[TheHawk]

All working for me after rebooting my computer and restarting the game.
Thanks for fixing it FDEV
Please give the hamsters an extra ration of food

Top tip - bug reports that start with "f you" tend to end up lower in the priority list...

They have now been given better SatNavs. 

They have got over their goth phase. 

Thanks for the update notes, i think folks sometimes overlook the witty stuff in amongst this.

Keep up the great work.

• Orthruses engaged in scanning at Spire sites will now seek to jump out if attacked. 

Called it! (ok, yes, everyone saw it coming... ) Though I'll be interested to see if the time it takes to escape will be enough to save its skin...

Is it in the patch notes?

Apparently NOT. Why bother fixing problems hundreds (thousands?) are having when we can make spires prettier?
