Patch Notes Update Update 2.3.01

[Mengy]

yeah.. not to sound any MORE salty.. but that's kind of my point, right?

There's an event this weekend and instead of rushing the same content patch out for Xbox players, or delaying the event for Xbox players to get their patch... FD's answer is to get the PC/Mac players a patch and NOT delay the event. Screw the Xbox players.

C'mon.. this isn't Microsoft's problem, this is FD's.

To be fair to Frontier, Microsoft does have a somewhat cumbersome patch validation process which does slow down updating games on the Xbox somewhat. The bugs going live in the first place is squarely on Frontier’s lap, that’s their fault, but patches getting released slower on the Xbox than the other platforms, there isn’t much Frontier can do about that.

That salt joke was pretty funny though. And I say that as a rather salty explorer myself!

From what i understand, this issue _should_ be fixed.

Splendid. Thanks for going the extra mile and looking into it Brett. Much appreciated. More salt banked for FD. ;-)

Why don´t you update the servers at any time less than when everyone is playing?

Elite Frontier is global platform; people are always playing.

The dev team take the servers down during their working hours; when they're awake and in the office

To go along with the player base building in 2.4...

hahaha!

Player Bases only on SALTY Planets would actually be a fun Joke *gg*

Where are the Mining-Rig's from Elite 2 ? Could they be possibly used for Salt-Mining ? ^^

*Goes off to buy Aldebaran'Spices ^^

Thx Fdev ^^

Cheers!

Have you ever written software before? If you have, you'll realise why what you said is a tad unreasonable and harsh

All software has bugs in it. Every single piece of code. You might get some software that's near as damn perfect - like software written for airplane flight systems for example, but even then bugs were uncovered in that - sometimes fatal bugs.

Nope, I’m working as a naval officer and as such, I have no right for mistakes, because they can cost a human live or injuries at least. If quality of my work is the same as FDevs one, I would be fired long time ago.

Never mind, I’m pretty sure, that money given by me for this game was in perfect shape and best quality, which cannot be said for ED at all.

Was the DC stability issue fixed?

That's being OVERLY fair to FD. And trust me, I believe in being fair to a dev.

But let's be honest, this patch is being pushed out to PC and Mac now because of the in game event.

FD decided to do that and it has nothing to do with Microsoft.

You guys are sooooo keen to poop on MS every chance you get that you ignore the fact that the decision to have the event this weekend, the decision to NOT sync these patches with all platforms is FD's.

You all come off as "Well I got mine, screw you"

Well thanks for that. Much appreciated.

Time for you to make a 2.4 and 3.0 content speculation video maybe? Gas giants and related (visible) life forms coming up in one of those I reckon. You heard it here first!

I don't think toys in software form have the same tolerance for mistakes as national defense...just saying.

You can't compare coding and the following implementation with your work in the navy... apples and oranges...

Please advise.

"•Farmed salt from the community for usage later."

Great, burst out laughing in work, getting looks. Thanks for that.

There had better be a big meal planned to go with all that salt!

FDev will have enough to go with their Fish and Chips for like... forever.

You need to wait for the servers to update and then the client patch will be ready to download. Just need to wait.

If you have a sore throat, then mix it with some Mix it with some Dihydrogen monoxide and gargle?

[*]Farmed salt from the community for usage later.

dunno if delivering a hotfix for a crappy release riddled with bugs entitles you to mock the complaining customers, but anyway ... is it safe to store modules now? guess i'll have to wait for 2.3.02 ...

as always, thanks for the update.
