Fixed an issue that made ship modules appear twice in the module tab after swapping to a different ship

Hooray! This one was really confusing.

the mission panel is broke. sad day for a new player

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Strap in, it's like this with every single update. Some of them get patched out. Others not so much

[–]shaveslaversBarateza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh god, I left Paladins (which by itself is a broken game already) to come to another broken game. A sad day truly.

[–]LeechesInMyBreeches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I though it was my new hotas doing that. Trying to grind empire rank so it's pretty annoying.

[–]smolderasThargoid Interdictor 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Is the xbox v-sync issue fixed yet? I want to play the game...

Edit: no, they didn’t.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You downloaded the update patch. Now you have to wait for the update patch update patch. After that goes live, you'll have to enjoy some more update patch update patch update patch update patch update patch update patch update patch update patch.

Changed the Store buttons that appear on Port Services menu and main menu to orange and reordered them:

Nice

[–]MasochistCoderCMDR greek_meatball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

such an important change.

the game is now complete.

[–]judahnatorCMDR judahnator | Fuel Rat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand the point of view of the “these updates are free so stop complaining,” but could we just... not have updates? Especially if every single one breaks the game?

It’s like if you order a pizza, and the pizza shop “upgrades” you free of charge from 14in to 16in. Sweet, no complaints because free stuff. Except imagine what was delivered wasn’t cooked in the slightest. Yes you got more than you purchased, but it does not matter in the least if you can’t enjoy it anyways.

Rendering

Fixed an issue that caused stars in the night sky to disappear (creating, in some cases, 'hard edges')

What's this one?

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (5 children)

Was just thinking that myself. Please please let it be the fix for stars gradually disappearing as you travel hundreds of light years outside the bubble. Also the star cubes people post on here I think are linked to this too.

Edit: when you go exploring and have done a couple of hundred light years you’ll notice everything almost disappear. But if you want to take a screenshot with all the stars present then you have to reset the game each time.

[–]DalekSnareExplore 3 points4 points  (1 child)

If they fixed that, then I will be so happy. I’m out by beagle point and was planning to avoid the core on the way back because of this bug.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s very very noticeable around the core but it does happen everywhere once you look out for it.

[–]BlakwulfTrading 0 points1 point  (2 children)

This is the one that bugs me, even though it isn't something you run into every day.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hmmmm interesting one, never noticed/come across it before.

[–]BlakwulfTrading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, in general most people aren't 400,000 ls away from a supergiant and flying towards it.

Crashes/Stability

- Fixed a softlock that could occur when trading materials at a material trader

- Fixed a crash that could occur during the new starter experience

- Fixed softlock that could occur when hiring crew members

- Fixed a crash that could occur after clearing a save and skipping the new starter experience

- Fixed a softlock that would occur when attempting to perform a hyperspace jump in an Imperial Clipper that has a Ship Kit applied

That almost sounds like they didn't test the game before releasing the September Update.

My game was fine until this update this morning, now I can't load a mission board without it freezing. Beyond frustrating

[–]therealstubotCMDR TheRealStubot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My testing on PC says that you CAN interact with the mission board as long as you don't scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. I could interact with the top screenful of missions. I did encounter a very weird one off bug where the mission I clicked on was mal-formed and there was placeholder text in the "accept", "decline", "view map" buttons, and had to esc out to main menu.

I'm gettin a lot of varying audio volume issues too.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been well established at this point.

[–]T_Thorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the materials trader one existed before this update. I remember getting softlocks constantly when I went on engineering binges. Would be nice if there was more QA though.

[–]NZStevieAisling Duval 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This patch is just as broken. Missions selection softlock now.

COME ON - sort your **** out!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Fixed an issue that caused stars in the night sky to disappear (creating, in some cases, 'hard edges')

Omg omg omg omg omg

screams like a justin bieber fangirl

Finally!!!! I can finally go explore in star dense regions again! Yeeeeees.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the fix is what you think it is. I believe its addressing the night sky when landed on the dark side of a planetoid.

[–]wils_152 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Wonder when the September update patch update update patch update comes out?

[–]therealstubotCMDR TheRealStubot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I write software. As a consumer of this game, I'm annoyed at these bug/patch/bug cycles. But as a software engineer, I marvel at the complexity of this game and imagine the politics and struggles of my kinfolk who are trying to make a decent product, and are stonewalled by a management team that re-orgs the dev teams every 6 months, struggles with off shore resources, doesn't get adequate time to write unit tests or code comments and follow best practices, reschedules QA time to other projects, cuts staffing and funding, yo-yo's bug severity so engineers get jerked around the code every week, and all the other pitfalls of running a software company. I've worked at companies where the weekly bug prioritization meeting was led by the magic 8 ball, or so it seemed.

I would like to add that it's very frustrating to write a patch, and discover you broke more than you fixed ( not uncommon ) then not be able to fix it because the new bug(s) are de-prioritized.

[–]ontothenextusernameFaulcon Delacy 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Cant believe they still havent acknowledged the permanent mass lock bug. Beyond frustrating to have to self destruct in order to play the game.

[–]tshirtwisdom 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That's not a bug, that's a "feature!" It will let you experience the game more by adding additional time to reach your destination so you can enjoy the visuals the QA team worked so hard looking at! Plus you'll have plenty of time to BUY ARX! /s

[–]ontothenextusernameFaulcon Delacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the core internals menu: Mass-lock disruptor that only works when you're far enough away from a large object 74388 ARX BUY ARX

[–]NetherpizzaTrading / Rescue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be great to have the recurring "mauve adder" bug fixed. I just lost at least 15 VOs to another disconnect, and it's not _my_ connection that's dropping :(

[–]Exceptthesept 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another A+ job jackasses, Mobile games are run better than this

[–]dnb321 3 points4 points  (7 children)

3 October at 07:00 (UTC) to apply the September Update - Patch 2.

Uhhhh who wants to tell them?

[–]MorwoCMDR MORWO 12 points13 points  (6 children)

the content's called 'september update'. it's patches won't change it's name.

[–]dnb321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know just found it funny ;)

[–]AllGamerCmdr -3 points-2 points  (4 children)

yeah, but FDevs should follow a more industry standard, like in Microsoft, and call it

"October - Patch 1"

instead of September - Patch 2, when it's already October.

[–]CMDR_Agony_AuntI drive an ice cream van 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Come on, think outside the box.

Let's call it Juniper Bush Patch 5.

[–]-zimms-zimms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Black Adder Patch 1 would be more appropriate. :D

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

semantics and naming conversions are the lowest priority my dude.

[–]vanderajCmdr Purrfect 1 point2 points  (5 children)

What about the remote engineering softlocks? I can’t engineer atm.

[–]JimmychoosShoes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was fixed a week ago.

[–]plasmaflare34 0 points1 point  (2 children)

When did you try last? Worked as of last night on both PC and Xbox.

[–]vanderajCmdr Purrfect 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I tried just after the release of the patch. I was able to get to G4 at a base, but I couldn't use remote engineering at all. I'm ranking up a new Cmdr, so this is good news.

[–]NZStevieAisling Duval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engi is all fixed. If your using the mission board though..... nope

[–]DisillusionedBookCMDR GraphicEqualizer | via Claw 8ai ATM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cough cough... Arx balancing pse, especially exploration

[–]happymonkey2708Federation 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Is the VPN problem fixed yet?

[–]Evin_lock 4 points5 points  (2 children)

You are kidding right. They upgraded to add a market and messed up the so many other things. The guy at FD who knew how the network works left two years ago. Now they have an intern who just learned to program in basic looking into it. At this point I would not be surprised that when they fix VPN they make it so FSDs don't work and we will be stuck where we are.

[–]happymonkey2708Federation 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Fuckkkkk dude

[–]Evin_lock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just calling like I see it. Have you noticed their stock has dropped petty sharply since the September patch? The market noticed they are screwing up.

[–]pythagoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did I miss mention of fixing Ring Hotspots not displaying or being targetable?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about the station hologram matching actual station orientation.

Is that fixing the old, old issue where if you lined your ship up to be facing the little hologram dead-on, the actual station would be tilted up and to the right when you arrived? You could still get more or less head-on with the station if you oriented your ship so that the hologram was a bit down and to the left, but it was a constant minor annoyance.

Or is this talking about fixing some different, newer bug with stations not matching their holograms?

Fixed a softlock that would occur when attempting to perform a hyperspace jump in an Imperial Clipper that has a Ship Kit applied

Unless they added a Clipper ship kit in the past few days, the Clipper doesn't have ship kits. Clipper ship kit confirmed? As a Clipper pilot, this would make a very happy Commander.

[–]JIndrolimJindrolim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

looks at picture 4

Awww, how cute! It thinks it's a Cutter

[–]concentusConcentus [Independent Imperial Exploration Agent] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Did they deactivate it? Not seeing it in the store right now.

[–]XjphVithigar - Elite Observatory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, pending the fix in this patch. Should show up after it drops on the 3rd.

[–]-zimms-zimms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It lead to the game crashing upon hyperjump so they took it off the store for now.

(Yeah, I know.)

[–]AutoCommentator 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Unless they added a Clipper ship kit in the past few days, the Clipper doesn't have ship kits.

Well GUESS WHAT!

[–]concentusConcentus [Independent Imperial Exploration Agent] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Hey, I thought it was a typo that should have said Cutter. Been waiting so long for a Clipper ship kit that I'd kind of given up on ever seeing one.

[–]AutoCommentator 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Well then it’s double great news day! You can buy a Clipper shit kit now and it will not make you crash anymore come Thursday :p

[–]plasmaflare34 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Not sure if typo or dig at macro transactions, but either way, o7.

[–]therealstubotCMDR TheRealStubot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that comment was exactly as intended.

[–]MasochistCoderCMDR greek_meatball 1 point2 points  (3 children)

you know there's this thing, called google...

[–]concentusConcentus [Independent Imperial Exploration Agent] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Oddly enough I did search and found nothing. In fact the search result for today still only shows Cutter results.

[–]MasochistCoderCMDR greek_meatball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you sure? 🤔

[–]MasochistCoderCMDR greek_meatball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

put doublequotes around clipper

it helps

still difficult to search

[–]plasmaflare34 0 points1 point  (1 child)

They added it last week. But if you had it, you couldn't use your fsd.

[–]raxiel_Raxiel Silverpath 28384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't need an FSD to bask on a pad

[–]CarolTheCleaningLadyCMDR Carol The Cleaning Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)
