Hi guys,

We've just gone live with an update to the 1.4 Beta build. Please find the details below.

- Don't try to generate scores if we don't have the data for them (stops crash)
- Don't crash if a ship has an invalid loadout in CQC
- Fix a server crash to do with updating a users machine handle when they previously weren't in the game
- Fix server crash if players haven't been cleared out from the lobby
- Crash fix for network replication occuring in the wrong order in CQC
- Fix error
- Update mute symbols in lobby correctly
- 'Capture' and 'Protect' indicators do not move / may not render while in Oculus Rift fixed
- Make sure that we are removed from a wing when we end a proving ground game. This should fix an issue with opponents i deathmatch appearing friendly
- Fixed where players didnt always get assigned to the team the the lobby wanted to put them in
- In the CQC Outfitting, boost diverters should not show class/rating/mass, instead they should show Power Draw and Boost Speed Multiplier

What OS are you on, Kharma? TrackIR works for me on 7. I'm using a TrackIR4 with the 5.2 software.

I have a question for the beta testers.....

Is CQC a 'mode' within the game that you can select at any time?

Example: A commander could be on an exploration trip 20k ly from Sol, go to the menu and select CQC. He would then be transported to the CQC arena for some quick combat. When weary of that, he can go back to exploration and pick up where he left off.

Or is CQC a destination that we have to fly a ship to in order to participate?

Thanks!

It's a separate mode, like training. So you can access it even if you're on an exploration trip (it's what happened to me, actually, as the beta put my ship where it was when it was first released, that is in the middle of nowhere).

Thanks Flip! That will be awesome.... especially for explorers. A guy could be on a 2-3 month trip, but still get some combat stick time in when the mood arises.

Win 7 pro 64 and TrackIR5 5.2.200

People on exactly the same.....Like you have it working......Whilst other people don't....

I'm still faffing around trying to find out why mines not...

It's a right PITA when you are used to it.....

Couldn't agree more! Hope you get it working, mate!
