Update today? there is no mention of it in the forums that I can clearly see?

@CMs maybe put up a news announcement. Locked so we can see this? Yes? Good idea? Avoids frustration. There is enough of it all round!!

” …You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean like actually telling anyone or anything.’ But the plans were on display…’ on display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.’ `That’s the display department.’ `With a torch.’ `Ah, well the lights had probably gone.’ `So had the stairs.’ `But look you found the notice didn’t you?’ `Yes,’ said Arthur, `yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of The Leopard“.’ — Douglas Adams.
 
There are two BIG places that are the obvious main communication points. The biggest is the ED launcher, was there any news on this of a delay, NO!
The other is these forums, especially the NEWS forum, was there any news on there of a delay, NO!
Come on Frontier, not everyone uses twitch or whatever else you consider 'communication'. It is once again, really annoying.
 
when one drops the ball, one hopes it is made of rubber and will bounce so it can be caught once more, sometimes it is more like a bean bag, and does not bounce, so it needs to be bent down for and picked up... Sometimes it is made of glass.
 
As we noted on last week's Supercruise News, Update 5 is now scheduled for Thursday 1 July so we can add even more into it.

Yeah, complain about not being notified on forums, without actually checking the forums and reading weekly schedule thread.

An announcement for all who didn't see the stream would have been great, yeah... And very simple to do.
I've always found it baffling how FDev always neglects putting clear notifications on their actual, official forum.

I get why they're doing it on the pleb platforms because it reaches more eyeballs, but...

And while they'd be at it, tidy up the stickied threads in the News section of the forum also - some of that stuff is so old I don't understand why they don't lock them and un-pin them; makes it harder to identify any new posts when half the page is months old unsorted stuff that get necroed every so often, thus giving the illusion there's an FDev update when there isn't.

and new update info is not stickered to the top of the foums, so easily missed

@Zac Cocken couldn't even be bothered to add a post to the thread to ensure that we'd actually reread it again, after reading it the first time on Monday. 🤦‍♀️ Frontier may be doing better at the whole communication thing, but there's plenty of room for improvement. :rolleyes:

edit: Nevermind. After checking the wayback machine, it turns out that wasn't edited in after the fact. Looks like I just missed that particular nugget of information. 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♂️ My apologies.

I think this particular info was there from the start.
I mean - I haven't watched any streams. I checked the weekly schedule thread infographic when it was posted, didn't notice anything about patch on thursday, so I've read whole thread post and I knew what was going on.
