Halp Halp! It's Happening! Beta 2.2 Inbound

[Loriath]

Did you guys select the alternative download under options on the launcher? regular was slow as mud till I stopped it and selected alternative.

You and your awareness of everything! Seriously why does the system not automatically switch over automatically if the main option is fecking slow!

I shall try this new voodoo method of yours once I get home tonight!

That's why I am a Member of the A-Team and you are just a Wannbe

Hope it works for you, if not, take your machine to a Starbucks or McDonalds and steal their Wifi.

New Jump Animation is great but I thought the pinpoint of the star would grow bigger as you approached, it doesn't so it still pops.

I was expecting a pin point start for 99% of the jump, because the star will not appear much larger until you get very close. Think of what a local star looks like from a few hundred thousand light seconds. If you are decelerating from thousands of C in hyper to 30k in SC, I would expect the star to pop. It does pop less than before though, because it doesn't just pop out of nothing.

I like that they fixed the 2D star fields planes that would whiz by in VR, so that looks a lot better. I did feel the target star was too big during hyper though, as it is still LY away for most of the trip. I'm not sure if that is an artifact of my using the spud tool, so I will have to try without it.

TLC for VR I see. Should be interesting to hear what those VR Commanders think about it.

The new hyper and some easier to read text because of backgrounds is about all I've noticed so far. I didn't notice any improvements in the maps - what little I've used of them - but I haven't checked to see if there are new bindings or whatever. I've only played about 1/2 hour so far.

After a couple of hours I stopped it, switched to alternate and started again. It got back to the same place very quickly (cached) and then...........

I tried re-downloading a few times. By default I was set to "alternative method". I switched to default one time, to no avail, and then back to alternate. Though I did hit 50Mb/s on alternate the second time.

But alas, my issue is server side..
Now, off to get my Note 7.. again. Finally can get rid of this shite loaner S7.
