Elite: Dangerous - 1.0.0.0

[albert]

Incoming! The game is officially released. This topic is to discuss features or issues and release specific topics!

Loaded up ok on my Windows Slate. Not much more I can say at this stage.

Change log for those updating from Gamma:

- Prevent missions softlocks when switching servers from A->B->A without disconnecting from A
- Check if we should use the neutron star's version of the bolometric luminosity first to prevent soft lock
- Avoid crash in creating a location object when it hits a rare window
- Sky box view distance altered to reduce memory usage in highly populated regions

Hence not a large update from Gamma.

Cheers,

Quick for me too, even had enough time to nip to TOX and bag another CR 230,000 and its not even time for afternoon tea.
Smooth as silk, no issues.:yahoo:
Looked as if Verner was heading to TOX also :yes2:

Yes I did, wanted to see how it worked. As you say, no issues.

So tell us, how many of these rare items are you finding on first arriving at Tox? Previously it was 4-9 but now more?

I waited for about an hour before going back and had 32. At Lave I only got 12 after the same wait time. So yes about 8 the first time. then wait for the next shipment in....

- Sky box view distance altered to reduce memory usage in highly populated regions

I found this surprising - ED was hardly using a lot of memory on my machine.
Unless it's VRAM usage.

On arrival,only 2. Booger!:sad:
Decided to  look at the Bulletin board and found a mission to another port in the same system. Completed the mission and found a return trip.
Landed, checked Commodities  and discovered 20 units,:yahoo: bought top-up (14) and scurried home to Zeta TA

Damn game is taking ages to download. Been running for over 4 hours and still only about 2/3 done according to the progress bar.

Last night servers were all stable and solid, noticed a little graphics lag in planet approach, but otherwise the release version is top dollar!

I dropped two cargo slots and bought an advanced system scanner and detailed surface scanner. Scanned one system last night and got 7,000CR+

Need to scan a few systems to see if it's a money-spinner or a hobby activity while not trading.

That's because I got there first and bought 68T last night - 1.1M CR *ka ching*

Found a few pointers on Slave acquisition! I have a need for 8 to liberate (not in the way you would do it Lib!) in order to gain more reputation with the Sublime Cult of Van Maanens Star.

Free the slaves!

PS. Put in context, I spend 500LY of travel time looking for Slaves! Finally got bored and googled for it.

I d/l'ed at midday and only got on at 2145 uk last night due to being out, took 2 attampts to get on, after the loading screen i had the arrow and that was it, no menu...nowt, but on the 2nd attempt I was in. really good considering our american cousins would have started to come online as well around that time
