I don't want to come across as impatient but some communication might be nice. Early access does come with an expectation of regular updates, both program and information wise.

The X4 reveal gave you a couple weeks grace cause I'm guessing it was all hands on deck but now, time to give us some love.

Cheers.

Hello,

Thanks for your patience, we are working very hard on getting the patch out, but due to some changes in Vulkan, which got applied into the very latest NVidia and ATI drivers, which required changes in the latest Oculus 1.18 runtime, which in turn required changes in our game-code to make it work.

This all makes it a bit tricky since we need to release around the same time as Oculus releases their update, but we are in contact with them and working together to resolve this situation.

There will still be a statement shortly before we release the update with more details.

The mission problems you describe are not the same ones that existed in early versions of XR, because these are new missions for the VR version. Unfortunately it isn't practical for us to extract just those fixes and release them before the rest of the update, but hopefully we are only looking at a matter of a few days.

I haven't been paying much attention to my stations that are currently in progress, however my hardware plant did finish.

Ahh cool !! thanks CBJ but any idea for metal plating reinforced...he's not found
everywhere

Post by **X2-Illuminatus** » Fri, 8. Sep 17, 20:47

j.harshaw talked a bit about the availability of Reinforced Metal Plating in this thread, where other players posted their experiences too. Maybe you find some hints in there about where you could look for RMP.

tuyijop · Post by **tuyijop** » Fri, 8. Sep 17, 23:19

I have try i playing 1 monthe and 4 days everynight and i don't have to see just one metal plating reinforced..no on ship no on station...no have luck

I appreciate the patch notes (draft) but, as other doubtless will be, I am disappointed that when using Touch controllers, we will still fire missiles accidentally due to the fact that we cannot retract weapons or select a 'not deployed' option in the weapons selection screen.

Is it really that difficult to implement?

I also did not read anything about a cure for the UI locking-up, nor anything about making the mouse available in cockpit menus. Really, if it is possible in ED, surely Egosoft can manage it as well...

The missile issue you mention is present in classic X Rebirth too. It arose in 4.00 as a side effect of removing multiple missile entries for those that had been owned once, but were at zero stock (skipping many empty entries was not optimal even though that had the side effect of retracting missiles).

If Egosoft agree the current implementation is a problem, it's probably been considered a lower priority (Dev time being factored in as well as player enjoyment) than the many things they've worked on since 4.00 (2 XR updates, XRVR and X4).

Providing feedback on topics, like the missile issue, is very helpful to Egosoft. It is unlikely to be as effective when combined with digs like you last sentence.

Yowch - Burn! LOL @rp198419 someone in an earlier thread mentioned swapping the fire missile with ... can't recall, but a less easily pressed button (stick click maybe?).

I was kind'a hoping Egosoft would do something about the ship-board monitor situation, even just an option to use the virtual monitor that appears when you're docked.

Thanks CBJ for this update.

A good collection of fixes and enhancements which will surely help enjoying the game. Good work.

But i'm still hoping for some more changes, too - most of them mentioned in the previous posts.

'Weapons hot button'
'Freeze of the slide out sidescreen input so it's not accessable by the 'Laserpointer' in VR any more'
'Option to use the Menu Screen like it comes up while docked instead of the slide out sidescreen'
'RMP issue - yes, there is some RMP somewhere out there but the search is VERY hard, especially for people who starts with XR:VR - make it at least a bit more accessible, otherwise i imagine you loose a lot of the new players that started now with VR'

Anyway, i'm looking forward to the patch...

Actually Sparky, it wasn't so much a 'dig' as an expression of incredulity.

Ego have, imo, created a VR experience that is as good or possibly better than ED. Why a mouse pointer cannot be included is just a mystery to me, given the obvious coding/design expertise shown by Ego.

Post by **Sparky Sparkycorp** » Mon, 11. Sep 17, 02:08

Thanks for clarifying what you meant, and sorry for misunderstanding you.

rp198419 · Post by **rp198419** » Tue, 12. Sep 17, 17:10

Thanks for that Sparky.

Truth is that unsurprisingly, many of us players make comparisons. XRVR is a really good game, very immersive and an experience with real depth. But so often it is 'simple' things that have the power to make it even better; the mouse and missile deployment issues being just two of them.

In reality, we just want a wonderful game to become even better. Perhaps though, people like me don't always appreciate that to implement 'simple' improvements are actually more complicated to incorporate than perhaps we realise.

Nevertheless, such improvements make a significant difference to the enjoyment of the game.

In short, we just want a great game to become even better.
