Testing 2.2E over the weekend.
Good:
#It seems stable, no or few crashes (one session) during hour+ stints.
Performance is much better than 2.1, minimum FPS 35 and as high as 60.
#Less VRam used, at (Very High) settings 2.1 would use 3.8GB, which after a while is a problem for GTX 970 owners, one of those games where it has 30% - 50% excess power to keep 60 FPS on the highest 1080P settings but let down by its 3.5GB fast memory + 0.5GB of slow memory.
I'm happy to report that in 2.2 the maximum used Memory is 3.3GB, so it remains nice fast and smooth.

#New EVA is nice, really nice, no more drifting about, if you lift off the key it stops, its so much more controllable.
#New party system works well, the server now holds 24, but (as far as i can workout) 8 places are actually reserve, so 16 individuals will be on the server, if another individual joins the game he will be taken to a server with less than 16 players keeping the 8 in reserve for people joining in a party group.
If for whatever reason you (even as an individual) lose connection to the server you will be automatically re-added to the server you came from, even if there are more than 16 players there, so if you made friends during that session on that server you will rejoin them.
#300 series ladder not retracting bug fixed. yay....
#outlaw system added, if you misbehave in various ways you get marked as an outlaw, as you can now see names without pressing F10 you can see who is an outlaw just by wondering around, their name is red, it works on a point system of severity, level 5 you appear in the world as a point in space moving about and everyone starts chasing you, i tried that but got kicked from the server for being level 5, so i don't fully understand how that works. its fun chasing outlaws round the verse tho....
Bad: (Remaining bugs)
#If using the Sabre it has a habit of randomly de-spawning from under you, no matter what you are doing at the time it will literally just disappear and you end up stranded.
#EVA'ing sometime you lose all control, your left floating in space, again. totally random.
#Some ships with a small interior (300 series / Aurora) you glitch out if you EVA in them (see video)
Larger ship owner have reported similar issues if more than 2 or 3 are inside them.
# some ships are becoming increasingly cosmetically broken as the PTU patches are getting more advanced, see pictures, my 325A is also missing some textures.
EVA Video...
Look at the state of this....
