Elite: Dangerous Dev Tracker

Locking thread - Horizons 4.0 is not released yet, performance issue was separate and resolved :)

Greetings Commanders.

Very recent events within the Galaxy have resulted in a number of on foot Commanders, who were residing at Bright Sentinel, to become stranded with unavailable rescue.

The team are investigating a way to salvage those affected and we'll update you on progress with rescue as soon as possible.

[[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]EDIT[/COLOR]: 14:19 BST] Server side rescue team deployed. Commanders, you should now be safe and sound.

Stay safe out there o7

Greetings Commanders.

And so, Salvation is nigh…Update 13 and the conclusion of the Azimuth Saga are only a short number of hours away and we’re on the edge of our c*ckpit seats.

We are still very much on track and working to the following, remaining itinerary:

Time Approximations (BST)

No spoilers, no secret messages...Just that some idiot put 'Drive' instead of 'Live'. That idiot will be severely beaten and punished as per protocol*

*That idiot is me. I have already stubbed my toe in penance.

Greetings Commanders,

Earlier this month we shared this post which described our plans to make 4.0 available to all PC users. We’d like to take this opportunity reiterate the purpose of this option and answer some of your questions. To that end please, read this FAQ on our website:

Greetings Commanders.

Apologies to those who are already clued up on this information, either from our social post deployment yesterday or your own self discovery but just to keep the ball rolling with awareness:

For pilots who wish to ready up and support in defence efforts over in system 22460, the Musashi megaship in the nearby Pleiades Sector CW-U b3-2 is stocked with AX weapons and modules.

Take care out there, Commanders!

Hello!
I've noticed a few Commanders expressing some lengthy times this morning with things. I'll continue to keep my eye on things with you all but just a note to say I've got this on the radar on our side o7

Greetings Commanders.

Just a really quick post to acknowledge reports of latency issues and matchmaking/Mauve Adder errors that have been experienced from some time yesterday, through this morning also.

The team are working on stabilizing the situation as I type, with hopefully some improvements already being seen now on live game.

I'll continue to keep an eye out through the course of the day.

Please do post in this thread if any of the following persists:
[LIST]
[*]Longer than usual system jump times.
[*]Mauve Adders.
[*]Latency issues when performing actions such as selling and interacting.
[/LIST]

Here to help! Thank you!

Welcome to GalNet News Roundup, our first weekly summary of the top GalNet stories you might have missed this week!

FEDERATION MONITORS PRO-XENO ACTIVITY - 12 September
The Thargoids are back and some people are waaaay too happy about it. People are flocking to the Far God Cult and asking if we can give the big genocidal space bugs a chance at peace. I for one welcome our insect overlords and their giant cannons of death.

Greetings Commanders.

Here to address the variety of stability issues you've encountered and reported today, since we released a small hotfix this morning to target a lighting issue.

This hotfix unfortunately included some incomplete data which is causing the crashes you have been experiencing.
We have made the decision to roll back this hotfix in order for you to be able to have the best experience possible in game, over the course of the long weekend ahead.
We will then address the underlying issue following the team's return on Tuesday, after the Bank Holiday.

Thank you for your patience, as always.
Your communication today has been ever outstanding, despite the frustration many of you will have faced.
It's much appreciated o7

Have a wonderful weekend, please.

Greetings Commanders!

What a week!!! We hope you're all doing okay out there in The Black and are looking forward to new adventures across the course of your weekend ahead.

Bringing a delivery in closing to you this afternoon - a number of small but valuable little fixes for both Horizons and Odyssey Commanders, made possible by server side address.

Full notes can be found here: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/elite-dangerous-post-update-13-fixes

As always, thank you for your continued feedback, reports and involve... Read more
