Gamma 2.01 incoming

Hi everyone,

Gamma 2.01 is on its way. The servers will be unavailable from 5PM

Thanks! Read the full change-log below!

TWEAKS & FIXES

• Fix one cause for server disconnects when exploring
• Fix asserts when quitting the game and the ship isn't shut down
• Fix the issue with users unable to use the control bindings if they dont have the en-GB layout preloaded
• Make sure that location data is available before activating crime component
• Fix for hardware cursor in borderless windowed mode
• Use combined major+minor reputation for mission requirements
• Add extra checks to make sure a set of police scenarios don't appear in dead systems
• Fix abandon branch of collect missions
• Balancing pass on USS frequency, now should be generally a bit more prominent. Tweaked up the chance of them appearing in relation to your distance from the capitals and upped it in relation to the population of a system
• Use the correct Harvard/temperature table for bright giants and super giants when finding the nearest Yerkes classification of generated stars
• Improved supercruise lens flare to work with both the normal game and occulus rift
• Optimisations for retrieving data from SpectralClasses by temperature values

• Increased the duration of warning/positive messages
• Don't try and connect to server if we're in the middle of quitting
• Glowy Orrery model is now less glowy and slightly smaller
• Steps to improve core in galaxy map
• Make the dolly distance for narrowing the range of stars to show based on the focus range of the galaxy map
• Remove the update tick from the galaxy map core. The disappearing systems was more distracting and helpful
• Change the narrowing of the search range whilst moving in the core to be dependent on dolly position, so doesn't affect the zoomed in view
• Change the focus of the star generation to be at the galaxy map camera when not zoomed in, instead of halfway between the camera and the cursor
• If the client returns to the main menu, stop trying to serve them missions related information
• Fix collision mesh on Anaconda
• Soundbank updates
• Don't repeat server player info check (fixes telemetry spam)
• Hovering mouse over paintjobs causes paintjobs to be reapplied when looking at decals fixed
• Increased completion time for Federal Collect missions
• Voice Comms - Forever hanging ringtone on client fixed
• Galaxy map search needs to find authored planets and starports as well as systems
• Balanced wear values down by a large amount across all sources
• Gamepad stops responding after confirming two friend requests in-game fixed
• ED-27599 Rework of training scenarios, Docking tutorial split in two, training scenarios reordered
• Ensure the number of items in the cartography sell page is correct
• Automatically add „Conflict“ tags to ships in warzones, which includes ships spawned from capital ships
• Instantly refresh the reputation screen's data when you do something in a mission
• Increase route planner spiderweb distance
• Fix for a malformed text string in slave missions

And a short server-side change-log:

• Universal Cartographics once again add exploration data into Commanders' navigation computers
• The rarist types of commodities are now prized by Commodities Markets across the galaxy, once again offering a premium price to Commanders willing to travel that extra light year.
• Reliability improvments to trade route generation, market and faction background simulation and exploration data trading

Gamma 2.02 Incoming

Hi,

gamma 2.02 is incoming and should be live in about 30 minutes. It's a hot fix for the movie player issue causing a crash on start up.
