There's been many ideas and feedback passed around as of recent.

Great to see that ideas and feedback are valued here.

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.

Frontier aren't organising the event, go complain to them...

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, error handling is better though.

...which of the most important one is ensuring crew members to get merit gains in PP, including some sneaky afk detecting mechanism. I assume that one is high on the list as soon ready for deployment?

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

Bah, you won't change the mind. Let him rage, it is of little consequence anyway.

Because it's UK office work hours, doesn't matter when you update someone somewhere is playing...

"Your client version is too old..."

But there's no update in Steam available?

So are there in game clues to find the mega-ship used to transport all that salt?

Looks like there must be more than one ship.

Error handling in airplane flight software is better? Maybe better nowadays - but there have been some very fatal bugs in the past

It should be a Rare where availability fluctuates with the mood of the community... Or maybe not.

So was this anything like UA bombing?

Had an instructor at Uni who used to write Nav software for Airbus. The stories were frightening. This is not the right place though.
That was before the A400M though.

New CG. Eranin and Engineers require vasts amount of salt to go with their Fish and Chips?

"Fixed an issue whereby galaxy and system map popups were offset on resolutions other than 1920x1080"

This makes it sound like the problem didn't effect 1920x1080? I and a lot of others also suffered this problem at 1080p, hope it is fixed for us also?

rootsrat · Apr 25, 2017

Thanks for the patch, FDEV.

BTW, my lunch today is a bit plain, got any spare salt by chance?

The humour is good. I mean, what else do they really have left after this? They got a very WELL DESERVED thrashing around here. I just hope they learned the damned lesson, because as I said in the other thread...this patch never should have been necessary in the first place.

Salt is still being mined
