Yeah, but wait on the servers and official word to actually run it. If you were to re-install now, you'd just get 1.06 again.

I must say though, I haven't been this silly and hyped up about a video game release in a long, long time.

Ok, people in game just received the warning to save and quit for Beta2 deploy. 30 minutes left.

EDIT: Yep, I just kept the launcher safe and cool.

Might be a while longer yet...

Hi everyone,

we will be shutting the servers down in about 20 minutes (that's 10:20 pm BST) to begin the beta 2 upgrade progress. I'll post a new thread when we're ready for the client download - we're currently looking at a couple of hours, but it might be a bit longer.

Thanks

Michael


Hope their servers are up to the task.

Didn't think I'd ever want a Sidewinder this much.

Such wait...

Tomorrow is actually five years to the day since I was last off sick. Maybe I should call one in.

LOL, yeah. I'm going to bed. And... Having two kids means I'd be much better off at work rather than stay home. duck

Well the update is out, however I'm getting an "Unexpected response from server: Badrequest" message.

Edit - looks like I have to re-download the launcher?

Yeah, there is a new one. If you click on the title in the link "Beta 2.00 released... whatever" it will download it.

edit: I should clarify: In the launcher news window.

Not like I'll get to play any tonight, but I hope the update downloads faster than the 13mb installer -_-

-Edit, again... Make sure you use the in-launcher link. DO NOT try through the store website that you originally downloaded it from. It was excruciatingly slow through the site, took seconds from the launcher link.

Just did the same thing myself. smile

Though it's only 7:30 pm here, I figure I will probably be up late. At least it looks like the download is efficient. Patching the difference rather than replacing, and at my maximum download speed. Based on the rate it's advancing and the download speed, I'd guess it's maybe 4 to 6 Gigabyte or so.

Servers are overloaded. I've managed to squeeze in just enough time to be impresses (really impressed!), but I've conceded to calling it quits 'til the servers become more stable.

Unfortuantely I'm getting the bug where it draws the galaxy map where the skybox should be. Seems like a number of other people suffer from it too.

Also, are you sure you're not Brennus? Because I don't think you're supposed to be able to see that huge bright spiral galaxy there, unless Andromeda somehow got a LOT closer.

edit: But everything else I've seen, particularly the starting planet is BEAUTIFUL.

I think everyone has the incorrect "skybox". I wasn't exactly sure at first what it was that was so...different...but it's definitely wrong.
