Can I ask how you decide when to do an update? This particular batch of changes doesn't, on the face of it, appear to warrant it (although I'm sure the people who are affected by these particular issues, you know, those who are unable to play because of the erroneous Te Kaha stellar forge data, will disagree). Sorry, love you guys really but I am genuinely curious, especially in this case.

My combat bonds haven't been having any affect on influence, so this is a nice update for me.

If Frontier is anything like our studio, there are scheduled tasks with teams devoted to each, ranked from fast/quick (relatively) fixes to more involved problems that require more time to problem solve. If any major bugs or problems arise, those tasks get bumped and rescheduled, and with bugs being constantly reported, someone has go through them; see which are legitimate, how they can be repeated in game, discussed with the team on solutions, and then passed through a pipeline to address each issue within the same single problem. The fact that Frontier can crank out as many updates as it does is a testament to their staff's ability and dedication. Many companies also work hard to address bugs and add content, but everything takes time - everything - so these guys really just are, inspiring, to say the least. They really set the bar. So to answer your question on "how" they decide which problems to tackle, well I can't speak for Frontier, but it seems to be about which bugs/issues they can resolve soonest, because the players and the community in particular are expecting it.

Hope this answers your question :)

Netcode is dying under these new patches, frameshift hang-up is now a perpetual issue + now getting kicked out of the game more than ever.

Good luck Frontier trying to debug right now the game is very erratic
 
OK, thanks for confirming folks it's not just me. status page stills says service is OK so I was a little concerned it was personal :)

time to open the wine then.
 
I dont know why.. but after this patch the game keeps freezing my pc in and around stations..

Edit: now it seems ok again :D
Weird..

Servers back up and in now yeah.

Does anyone have a problem inviting people to wings? I can invite one of my friends but the other doesnt receive the wing invite. he gets the sounds as if I have invite him but no actual invite.
 
I have no problem with spinning ship or downloading new update. It usually takes 5 min for me....anyway I'm glad to see updates so often :) good work team!
 
The last two patch's only took me a couple of minutes to download, as they were small files. It is good to see FD doing a grand job fixing the bugs. As a casual coder I appreciate that errors do occur and fixing one bug then exposes others that weren't obvious. At least FD are continuing to work on the software and not just release it and walk away. Keep up the good work.
 
OMG every time I go to play this there is another patch and I have to spend a whole day/night downloading it again!

I know what you mean, but it's worth it! Luckily my 250k download speed can cope better with the minor patches. I was thinking about also buying Star Citizen until I saw the size of the downloads and patches......not France internet friendly!
