Elite: Dangerous Dev Tracker

Greetings Commanders,

Explorers venture into the depths of space and discover beautiful systems that most will never see. We would like to offer you the opportunity to share your best discoveries and be immortalised in Elite Dangerous.

Our plan is to place approximately 50 additional Tourist Beacons throughout the Milky Way. Therefore, we’re running this competition in-line with this week’s exploration-based Community Goal.

To enter, reply to this post with an in-system (not System Map) screenshot of the most interesting unpopulated systems containing an Earth-like world you can find! When the Community Goal ends on 30 September, we’ll choose our favourites and add Tourist Beacons to those locations. Each beacon will feature the entrant’s Commander name in its text!

To qualify, submissions must:

Season's greetings to you all, and you know what season it is! It's that time of the year where the marvelously festive Elite Dangerous cosmetics make their reappearance in the Store! Not only can you wrap up your ship in a festive delight of a paintjob, you can also fill your proverbial stockings with in-c*ckpit customisation options from Santa Claus bobbleheads to festive lights!

Check out some examples below:



There are plenty of variations to the Festive paintjob (which comes in at 2220 ARX), including different colo... Read more

Greetings Commanders.

A short but important note for you this early evening to let you know that we're working with the intent to deploy a number of fixes for both Odyssey and Horizons players on all platforms on Monday December 13, to address some of your current high priorty issues that have arisen from the most recent updates.

Full update notes and expected release timeline will be available on Monday ahead of deployment, so watch this space.

Thank you for your continued patience, Commanders o7

See you Monday.

Going in with the wild approach.

Greetings Commanders o7

Few things on the lists, but one of them I'm making a bit less headway in tracking than I'd like is the apparant increase in 'Crash to Desktop/Console Crash' occurances since Update 8/latest Horizons update.

Now, that's not to say there were no reports of CTDs/Console Crashes before Update 8/latest Horizons update.
We're totally aware that crashes still happen and the team continue to dig deep into diagnostics available to them - but I want to be a massive pain here.

This early on a Thursday and ask if you would reply to this thread for me with a few things if you're experiencing a sudden occurance of OR an increase in CTDs/Console crashes since Update 8/latest Horizons update.

The team think they have leads on some specific stability issues pre 8/Horizons update, that's great, we're working on those, but something e... Read more

[USER=188830]@sallymorganmoore[/USER] any chance you can use your magical powers to have this boosted, theres a few on this but they never get anywhere due to not having enough "Popularity"

Haaappy Friday! Wellll sure, I can take a look. When you say there's a few one this, can I be a pest and ask where you've seen them? The more evidence and reports I can get hold of, the better :) Thanks!

Greetings Commanders,

On Tuesday we released our second Top 20 Issues Report, accompanied by some commentary on our Supercruise News livestream. In this second edition of the report, we were pleased to confirm that many of the listed issues will be fixed ... Read more

Greetings Commanders.

Thanks so much for the continued responses from so very many of you, following this week's deployment of Update 7 for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, along with the 'Quality of Life' update for Horizons.

We have a couple of issues we'd like to tackle sooner than later, so these will be going out this early afternoon.

Servers will flick offline at approximately 13:30 UTC / 14:30 BST (give or take several minutes) and will be expected to be down for no longer than 10 minutes for the updates to deploy.

PLEASE NOTE: Updates of this nature are in the pipeline for Console players. We're targetting next week for deployment of those (Certification time required).

[USER=188830]@sallymorganmoore[/USER] I think this is an issue of interrest for you to carry to the devs. We on console noticed through all devices (base ps4, ps4 peo and ps5) significant fps drops when in Open with randoms in the same instance. In Solo mode or in group mode with friends (from the same global region) everything runs smooth. So i think, the netcode makes troubles and causes stuttering.

Back in the day when we saw the beyond series updates this wasn't a thing. Things got worse. Can this issue please be targeted for us console players? Thanks in advance.

Happy to pass this on for sure. Thanks so much for sharing.

Greetings Commanders!

Greeting Commanders.

Hope you're having a wonderful start to the week.

We're pleased to say that the development of Update 7 is continuing to progress well on all fronts.
However, thanks to your continued feedback and conversation here in the Forums, we'd like to implement an additional fix to a present, reported issue which causes unintentional Community Goal abandonment.

[*]A poignant example of this issue being that 'if you attempt to abandon any missions, it will abandon the CG you signed up for'.
[/LIST]
We deem this issue to be somewhat of an additional priority, therefore the release of Update 7 is now planned for next week, whilst the team investigate and address accordingly.

Thanks for your patience!

See you in the black o7
