Xbox One GPP2 Build Incoming

Just went on and had half a game, before it cut me off now I can't rejoin cqc at all. It may be temporary but for me it's not working right now. 😔

I really would love to read the full patch notes. :)

And to anyone who thinks CQC is lacking right now; it's not fully implemented yet. It will eventually give you credits in the main game as well as be a 4th career path along with Combat, Exploration, and Trading, that you can rank up to Elite.
 
Gamescon 2015 Pre-show Q & A

Dude... DUDE... the game still doesn't work even after the update! It still consistantly crashes at starports. I think I've been exceedingly patient. I understood the gamble I took purchasing this game. I was patient when i had to deal with your email-only tech support. I was patient with you when you let my trouble ticket fall between the cracks. I was patient when the ultimate answer for my issue was "you'll just have to wait for the next update." I was patient when your patches went from several per month to not one in thirty days. I was patient when your focus changed from fixing the current game (your original vision which is what I was attempting to invest my money into) to marketing (e3 & gamescon) and creating an entirely different game (CQC -- in which slapped onto the back of Elite) so you could increase your sales. I was patient when you began to alienate your fan base by not giving preferential treatment to your early investors in the release of CQC. I only became Irritated when I read that your BIG surprise addition to the game (Horizons) is an expansion I'm going to have to purchase! What!?! I understood there was a chance the game would change. I understood the possibility that you might not finish developing the other half of the game (because, that's what we received for our money... half a game... and an IOU). BUT, I NEVER expected you would finish the other half then charge us for it! AND, to add insult to injury, they game STILL DOESN'T WORK! It's unplayable. You never finished the first game and started making another (CQC). Now you're declaring that your focus, again, is on another product. What's next... CQC doesn't work and you don't bother fixing that either to work on Horizons. What is this -- The Master Chief Collection?

Update:
Since last night's server maintenance the frequency of game crashes has been reduced for myself significantly. I've still had a few crashes, but I've also been able to progress further in the game in one night than I have the entire previous month. Additionally, there's still some bugginess like stuttering during hyperspace jumps and the hud behaving weirdly while cycling through the fire groups. Overall... excellant job on the new build FD! I've notice a lot of other little improvements, too.

Update:
I just came across conflicting information where FD CEO David Braben clarified during the Gamescon 2015 Pre-show Q & A that "those people who backed us right from the start [...] those people who got 'it' [...] will get Horizons for free." Additionally, he stated that "all of [the scheduled future] expansions go for free for the people who have already bought the game..."

I'm still a little confused by the conflicting information, since the information I received previous to this was that we would only get a $10 discount on the purchase of "Horizons." But, if this new information is accurate, I guess I'll have to apologize.

That's a whole lot of ignorance in one post.
 
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but the game is loading SO MUCH faster now on my console. That's pretty cool in my book.
 
I've been running the same boot of the game in SOLO for almost 10 hours straight. Not been playing the entire time, but leaving my ship parked at various stations in between other stuff around the house and doing my rare trade route loops.

I'm finding the new build VERY STABLE! Sounds like most of the issues are on the Open Play and CQC sides of the game. Fortunately for me, I have zero interest in either one. ;)
 
Mhm, I haven't had any issues in Solo mode either. Open play keeps disconnecting from the server when I try and drop out of supercruise at a station. Not a game crash, just "Cannot connect to matchmaking server" boot back to main menu. Went into solo and have had no issues.

Why do you have zero interest in open play? That's how game should be played.

Says who? I haven't been in Open play much either. Some people don't enjoy constant connection issues or online idiots and have just as much or more fun offline. I am having a blast in this game, and I've spent about 2 hours in 3 weeks with the game in Open.

I've played many game's from MMo's to RTS to FPS to RPG....we'd be here a while if I named them all, so to the point. The biggest reason MMO's and other online only MP game's fail is toxic communities and FDev have the best solution to this issue I've seen to date from my own personal experiences, so solo is actually the better way to play for some who want the fun of the game with none of the txicity(not general PvP, but I mean the immature foul mouthed brat crowd's that all game's and platform's have).

Are we getting private groups on xbox version??? Would love to have "chill" play with some good people. I will enjoy open play once the game can handle it better, but private groups seems like a nice option sometimes lol.

I had noticed Private Group option disapeared after the update and voiced this concern, no reply yet...

Whilst I agree with your sentiments, there's a reason why there are two basic game modes, and you can't impose your will on others. Open is awesome, but Solo is closer to the classic Elite gameplay. If you have NO interest in a player filled galaxy, that's why. :)
