A lot of bugs with this patch :/.

Also when selling a commodity I get no sound effect. Currently they're working on a patch as they've also found a bug in the BGS but tbh I'm still more than happy with this patch. Holo-me is amazing in itself & yes I already did spend an hour recreating me - & actually it's quite close! (btw, for me, when I take an 8k screenshot using alt+F10 with my holo-me character in view all sorts of hilarious graphical stuff happens on screen - all comes good in the end like!)

But yep, 2.3 thumbs up & hopefully the stuff that slipped through the net will be fixed soon.
 
Have not played this game since horizons launch. Is it worth playing now or is it still worth leaving alone? I had 2 billion credits and all this ships except cutter so im no nooblet lol. Were is Neil Fawcett
Depends what you want from it.
It's a monumental waste of content-lacking time, especially if you're going to bitch and whine about it while still playing heavily...
But then there's so much I still haven't even tried, despite playing solidly since Beta and I'm enjoying the heck out of it, so....

Give it a try, see what you think, I guess.

I have to say that if you have not played the game in VR, in a wing or in multicrew you are missing out
 
A lot of bugs with this patch :/

system map bug if playing in 2k/4k.

packhound no heat / infinite ammo bug.

autodocking bug if using the new camera.

and key binding the new camera mode was tedious.

Autodocking thing with the camera is a pain and I really don't know where to begin with the key bindings for the camera... and multicrew never interested me. I haven't tried poking around in the galaxy map yet, but it doesn't sound good.

I think the plebs are going to be getting uppity again. 2.3 looks to be even less well received than 2.2. fdev are probably preparing some new 'Thargoid in game shiny cut scene' to get us all hyped again...

(Actual Thargoid gameplay coming soon, well maybe... No promises.)
 
I have very little interest in multi-crew, but that's fine. All I ask is that FD continue to build the universe. As long as they keep putting extra stuff in teh game it's all good. Some will be stuff I love, other content will not be of interest. That's cool.

I do, however, object to my system map being broken in 4k. That's just lazy. It's small stuff I know but irritating none-the-less.

Who are the plebs? Just wondering..

Docking computer slightly broken and mission payouts being substantially lower than pre 2.2. My only gripes so far.
 
Gaargh!
Wish they'd fix their installer. Two days in a row I've tried to patch the game, to only have it stop & manually having to delete the .part & .progress files. :(
 
Is anyone playing this game with 3 screens? Tried it for the first time last night and whilst it works it looks a bit distorted on the side.

Looks like I might have to get a cheap HOTAS as well, hard to control with keyboard and mouse lol

There are some YouTube tutorials that take you through what everything does on that. I think ObsidianAnt did one.

No complaints here, at least not over the fundamental new bits.

You got a duff internet or summat? Mine's so slow I have to leave it running overnight for each update, but it still completes first time.

You've gotten three screens, but haven't yet bought a HOTAS? 'Swrong wit'choo??!! :D
The Thrustmaster T16000m FCS is very good, by all accounts... cheaper ones will have less controls or be of far inferior quality, while expensive ones are... well, expensive.

haha I'm mainly a sim racer but got the urge to fly around space ha!
 
Seems the only easy way of making money is to do short hop passenger Jobs. (1 - 2 hops) My anaconda is now a bus.

600K to 1.5 Million. I have done 10 million in the last 2 hours. so not to shabby.

You can make more than that in an hour of trading with the right trade route, Power, Power Rating, & your ship is stripped to the bone & converted just for cargo. That's what I'm currently doing & making 15M cr per hour.
 
Finally managed to get it to patch \o/

One thing amazed me, the whole pre-render/warming planets thing is now over in split seconds.
Something's been optimised or changed for the better :D

Was trading the other day but I prefer doing rep work via missions for my engineers consumables. I have a route which nets me 2 million on a 30 Ly just and I can clear over 12 million an hour but I find it a tad repetitive. However mission sre grest fun, plus the rp and influence and materials.
However they have they are paying much less (might be dude to the pack and the BGS) Passenger mission on the other hsnd don't appear to have be an issue.
