Xbox One GPP2 Build Incoming

Michael Brookes

Game Director
Hi everyone,

The second Xbox One GPP build is going live today, there are significant server changes so the game will be offline from 9.30 am BST and will be online again by 16.00 BST. Here are the highlights of the build:

- Added CQC - which is also a 4th career path to Elite.
3 Game Modes - Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag
2 Maps
3 CQC Specific Ships (Fed Fighter, Sidewinder & Eagle)
15 Loadouts (5 for fed fighter, 6 for sidewinder & 4 for eagle)
3 CQC Achievements
1 Hero Stat (Progress to Elite)
- Implemented Friends management, including Wings, Voice Chat and GamerCards
- Improved frame rate in supercruise
- Various performance optimisations
- Will be updating powerplay on a regular tick to sync with PC time frame. (Note: XB1 PP will be reset when we launch Full Game)

Note that we are having to reset the first discovered exploration data, but are keeping commander progress including ships and modules (the same thing will apply when we launch the final retail version of the game) ​and scanned data.

UPDATE: Setting up the servers is taking longer than expected and we're currently looking at going live at around 7pm BST.

Thanks

Michael

So when it finally launches we won't lose ships etc now? That's a big change from what we were told before!

When you say tomorrow what do you mean? Braben said it was out today. It's 9:06 British time just now. The main twitter account is also telling people it is out today.

Is this a miscommunication due to the core fan base being in the US?

Please clarify.

I read elsewhere in the forums that PC/Mac were getting CQC today as well.

I don't think that's the case. The newsletter mentioned that PC/Mac will get CQC at the same time as XBONE, when it's released. It's still in Beta, so I'm pretty sure that it's not the case.

hi, so if we already had merits before this update, does it get wiped or do we get to keep it?

According to the twitter staff that's not the case. PC apparently get it (and 1.4 as a whole) at the same time as the Xbox full release. Still a little bit of a wait. Likely to iron out any issues.

I wouldn't fret too much. The first iteration is probably going to be all kinds of broken. Well be sure to post details of all the different cqc ship loadouts so you guys know what to look forward to.

Just check the xbox bug reporting forum for CQC updates.
