Ever since 1.3 went live it has been plagued with issues... 90% of which were issues that were either fixed during the beta test and yet have come back with a vengeance, or never appeared in the beta at all. The near constant disconnections were dealt with in 1.3 beta 2, and yet here we are with the final release of 1.3 after the second patch and the constant disconnections are still rampant. Since patch 2 I have only been able to stay connected on the game for more than 5 minutes once in eight attempts. On top of that, since patch 2 the game has NEVER started first time. After selecting start, solo, the rotating ship does it's thing and then I am met with the "unable to connect to adjudication server" error. When I start the game a second time, I finally get to play it... although like I say, on only one occasion was I able to play for more than 5 minutes before being disconnected again.
What was the point of beta testing if the released version has the same bugs that plagued the initial beta but then were supposedly fixed? Just how much in-house testing do FD actually do? Do they actually have any kind of quality control? If they do, just how inept are they at it? The state of 1.3 is an absolute joke and no development team worthy of the job title would consider this remotely acceptable.
Now, I know there will be the usual band of FD brown-nosers who will berate me for daring to criticise their precious game and their beloved FD, but this has been going on for far too long. Every single time a major update comes along we have to go through this ridiculous charade of the game being nigh-on unplayable for at least the first three patches. How many more times does this have to happen before the Elite: Dangerous community finally says enough is enough? Sort your act out... and the game!
