Hello its Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous Frontier developments
has announced that the January update for elite dangerous will be rolling out
on January the 14th 2024 all platforms and ahead of the update that company has
released patch notes so let's take a look at those patch notes so it's been
split up into several areas we've got fixes around arcs crashes background
simulations conflict zones exploration material trading and mining and missions
to name better few and the list is quite extensive in the comment section I'll
put a link to the document where you can read this in much more detail yourselves
but we're gonna go through it we're gonna skip through it nice and breezy
and see what we can ascertain from what's being released so there was a
beta back before the holiday season there's going to be some audio fixes as
well fixes the stock crash is happening on the network options screen and
they're gonna fix a number of typos in the missions those sort of things but
there is an absolute load of other changes and fixes which are on their way
with this January 2020 update now elite dangers and frontier went through a
anniversary period just before Christmas on the lead-up to Christmas and for that
week they were awarding free arcs that glanders who logged in and just logged
into the game no matter of what platform however arcs is gonna have a little bit
of a tweak in the January update balanced improvements for the generation
of arcs particularly for exploration related gameplay is gonna get a little
bit of focus which is good you put this process in place it's gaining a few
tweaks as well but that's not all the audio experience is also going to get a
little bit of focus they've fixed audio issues with the generation ship the
Golconda now you may remember and seen from my other videos the Golconda was a
generation ship that had people still on it and they were crying out for help
there was a community goal towards the end of 2019 that led to players for
the Golconda replacement parts and then the Empire and the Federation got in
place and then either built a station or they were gonna build a land-based base
well the Federation won and therefore a new station with the Golconda still in
relative orbits to that has been put into the game also it is now part of
elite law and also with elite law there comes a rare item and they've got their
own version of a whiskey I think it's awesome drink it's a rare item you can
go and pick up and then trade as well and get some additional credits so they
fixed all audio issues with the Golconda audio logs obtained from the Golconda
can now be played in the codecs good update there they fixed the bug where
none of the guardian articles and the knowledgebase would play their
associated audio so you know they're fixing the bugs especially with the
Codex and a burglar which meant that the audio effect when firing pulse leaders
would loop indefinitely okay so I've not seen any of these things maybe on some
of the contours that I don't play my kids have got an Xbox or an Xbox as well
I play on PC generally but I've got an Xbox account
my other son has got a Playstation but he hasn't mentioned any of these more
things around crashes and stability which is what we're going to move on to
next now I think we can all safely say that this game needs a little bit of
tender lovin care with all the updates that have been put into it lately and
the fact that they haven't been using a beta program frontier I have backtracked
and got the community involved what would the Vita that happened before I
think that's a good thing because they were gonna get an acute focus on what
was actually wrong with the game per platform the crashes and stability fixes
they've listed here in the notes they say they fixed a crash that could occur
when attempting to enter the network options screen okay not add that fix the
crash that will occur when mining ice rings not at that updated the way we
check a player's entitlements to fix an issue where horizons update is not being
recognized as installed now that's been all over the forums that has they fixed
a crash as well which could occur when Imperial fighter is destroyed and fixed
the softlock when entering supercruise with the loosened embrace mega ship
targeted well that's great but what about the stuff where if you click on
messaging and then go to one of the side panels
and it all locks up they've mentioned this further down in regards to a fix
with the SRV but it's not only the SRB that has that problem on PC I've
certainly had it across you know ship based flying as well they don't some
addressing as well to the background simulation I'm not really gonna dwell
that much into that however suffice to stay they are doing quite some
considerable work on it for example you know infrastructure failure terrorism
public holidays natural disasters all those things that could potentially
affect how the background simulation runs are gonna get some additional
tweaks and that's a good thing in particular one thing I were come down
and mention that's something that I've seen quite a bit is around conflict zone
now in the leat things you want to get your pew pew on elite dangerous can
accommodate you with your conflict zones and they've implemented a number of
improvement which should improve stability well I have not had any
problems other than my son did have some on the PlayStation fix the bug when
entering a conflict zone it appeared as empty its come to think of it I've had
that and fixed issues cause when capital ships arrived well yes there you go and
then they fixed an issue that caused a lloyd capital ships to open fire at
friendly ships and that's not good but I think one of the main things that
they're gonna focus on is what I think is the primary core of what elite
dangerous is and that's elite dangerous exploration now for an open-world game
you could say open universe open galaxy games such as elite dangerous you've got
to get your exploration right and a number of fixes are going to be
implemented as it currently stands in order for geological biological sites to
be placed on the surface the entire stellar body must be fully generated so
that can take up to ten seconds that's a generation problem either the January
update they aim to address this with alternative processes they've run tests
of thousands of in-game planetary bodies using the data and then they're going to
use this data and indicate if the planet is likely unlikely or very likely to
have a geological biological site hmm when you scan it
burner on a planetary body but it will give command as a much faster indication
of probability all that sounds fascinating you just want to work though
eh I mean come on I mean the game is theoretically being dying elite
dangerous has been dying this past year we've had a couple of fixes one or two
ships poked in there couple of community goals to keep people taking over but
let's face it you've got to get this stuff right then they say if the
commander wants to have a definitive answer without travelling to the body
they can still wait for the scan to complete in FSS okay fair a good
Guardian or human site human sites will show up instantaneously well that's good
as well they fix an issue that will prevent the search function in the
galaxy map from working correctly I've had that problem fix an issue with the
navigation panel that will incorrectly display if a planet hasn't been mapped
or not not add that and instead of showing a notification for each
individual asteroid belt cluster discovered they will now condense that
into one message good stuff well that is good stuff so far and that's exploration
they've fixed an issue weights and limbs not possible to select an asteroid ring
as well generally though they've added a Help section to the main menu and pause
menu they've moved the e ula to the new Help section this is just quality of
life and housekeeping stuff really a couple of issues which meant players
couldn't search for a command their names has been fixed the data point
reset time it didn't appear both the players screen things like that things
to be fair I mean you know any old update can fix this but it's good
they've brought attention to it let's talk about mining mining can be very
important I think now mining has been a fantastic source of income and players
have been racking up billions and billions of elite dangerous credits in
lieu of what's gonna happen whether that's going to be the fleet carriers
and fleet ships that are going to be coming this year as promised or whatever
else and people are getting billions of these things and it's all down to mining
so mining is having a little bit of a focus they fix an issue that could lead
to the detonation graph not appearing if deep core mining with a wing they fix a
disconnection that could occur whilst mining and they fix a deep core mining
issue multi-crew who uses multi-crew I don't
wear different crew members would see different detonation that was in their
home they fix the subsurface displacement missiles in multi-crew
again and fixed for a bug which made seismic charges instantly detonate in
multi-crew wings however it doesn't stop there
and at the end right at the end of all of this they state when trading high-end
minerals this is where it comes into mining you see they fixed the issue that
meant players could sell anything to a market if the buy list was empty great
fantastic that's all about trading but the vital supply and demand volumes for
certain high-end minerals now trading goods such as void opals in elite
dangerous is more realistic markets can still offer high prices but they will
offer less as the demand is met as part of this change these high-end materials
and minerals will now be demanded by more specific economy types and this
will change affect the following commodities so alexandrite been ight
grander right low temperature diamonds monza night mess graphite pan height rod
plum site and sarin the bite and good old void opals for all you void opal
miners you've basically had it here we've got effectively what four days to
get in there and get mining a mining bloody quick I can tell you now because
if you want that large carrier that's gonna cost you a pretty penny and a
pretty penny more likely it's gonna be near a billion but whatever let's move
on what are they dead they've done some fixes around the new player experience
great they don't fix us around networking great the player Journal and
power play now power plate your item a power player
or you're not a power player I've done some power playing earlier on in the
written in the game and all the prismatic shields and what-have-you
fantastic don't tend to bother with it now but depending on what's going on it
is an aspect of the game that the new commander may want to have a good look
at so if you are then power play has got some fixed issues and they've done some
more calculations around control systems income
and that was all down to the some of their exploits systems that plus we had
their own value ria dress rendering they looked at rendering ships they've done
some tweaking around the dolphin they've added a fix for collector limpets where
they were damaging ships now the SRV is that affixed the control
input being lost after interacting with an inbox message I've at that on ships
but hey there you go and also they've implemented some spectated fixes that
should reduce the instances splitting when fighting thyroid interceptors
they've updated the thyroid combat state to make sure that's correctly replicated
over the network and fixed an issue that cause combat bonds not to be directly
given out when destroying thyroid and then an issue with thyroid hurts
becoming immune to damage when in a wing well there you have it everybody that's
the patch notes for the elite dangerous January 2020 update if you've stuck with
