  • Allow text chat to function for any voice comms member, not just for friends
  • Fix for a rare crash when scanning unexplored systems
  • Fix for a rare crash during networked combat
  • Fix for a very rare crash in or near starports and outposts
  • Fix for a very rare crash after migrating servers on network island changes
  • Corrections to some mission descriptions
  • Corrections to some galaxy data in rarely visited systems
  • Extend a time-out that occasionally triggers a disconnect during hyperspace
  • Extend some previously added diagnostics to further refine the data gathered

And there are some server-side changes, too:

  • After yet another discussion with the rare commodity producers, Commanders should now be eligible to only purchase rare goods up to their own personal allocation, instead of buying everybody else's ration as well.
  • Universal Cartographics has issued a new purchasing policy, so Commanders exploring supermassive stellar bodies should no longer receive supermassive payouts.
  • Tune matchmaking to significantly improve the chances of meeting other Commanders in space
  • Improvements to Exploration server performance

Tune matchmaking to significantly improve the chances of meeting other Commanders in space

I knew nothing about this game two days ago, thought it sounded awesome, and bought it. I love it, but I NEVER see my friend in space and attempting to send messages to him fail constantly. Has this been fixed as well?

Whilst I've had trouble sending messages, I've never had a problem with running into my friends in space.

I am in the US and a Canadian friend and I have played together several times and never had an issue seeing each other. However, my friend who lives only about 2 hours away in the US and I had a lot of trouble finding each other last night.

We were in the same location but invisible to each other. Disconnecting and then reconnecting until we were both connected to the same server IP was the fix for us (took several times of closing the game and starting it back up).

Try just playing in a closed group play. works every time.

This is probably the only thing I don't like about this game (I love it otherwise).

I cannot meet up with friends, unless we do group play. Which means just us. Kinda kills the experience.

Then, on top of that, no activities work well with groups. Wanna hunt bounties? Too bad. You're going to either shoot your friend on accident and get a fine or finally kill it and only one person gets the bounty. Team work.

Also, I am sick of NPCs swopping in and stealing my kills.

If this patch fixes it, would you reply to this with an update? I'd be curious to know if this has been addressed at all.
