CQC Update: 1.4 Gamma 3

Greetings Commanders,

We will be taking the galaxy servers offline for an update! :eek:

This update shouldn't take any more than 30 minutes.

Below is the listing of changes and updates for this patch.

• Don't crash when we try to eject all cargo and we either: have no cargo hatch, or the cargo hatch is shutting down
• Fix audio crash in Powerplay GUI
• Fixed audio getting stuck in lobby
• Reset the backfill timer when leaving CQC or ending CQC gameplay. This prevents it from trying to start backfill matchmaking when not in a game session
• Increasing the amount of time it takes for the shields power-up to respawn to match the others
• Control changes for context schemes so that they maintain keyboard alternatives wherever they were present in the original control pad scheme these were based from
• Fix spawn points facing the wrong direction in Elevate
• Decreased the time the highest end AIs spend „on“ the interdiction vector to make them a little easier
• Fix missing shield rings in GUI
• Tidy up faction data caches for all factions, not just the final
• Share the star system daily digest data between all web servers to try to avoid caching issues
• Fixed user display name not being set properly after creating a new commander
• Fix an index error in matchmaking
• Speculative fix for Re-fuel limpet rapidly damaged hull and destroyed ship
• Various server side matchmaking fixes
• Check for timestamps on incoming CQC Updates - we can discard any messages received out of order
• Increasing the radius on Ice Field slightly so players have a bit more space behind the structures
• Strange audio issues if you enter the Galactic Powers or System Map while the overheat warning buzzer is playing fixed
• Very loud in-game error sound effect when accessing Galaxy Map and when entering or exiting Galactic Powers Menu fixed
• Announcer welcomes players to „Close quarters championship“ fixed

Thanks,
Brett C
