game updates messages hidden in pictures binary codes in files what's going on
hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous a lot of people seem to be focused
on this flare or stargoid or thug star or thyroid death star or indeed the far god
people are down far reaches of the elite dangerous galaxy using the fss trying to plot the course of
this particular object and listening to strange sounds where no strange things exist okay so
frontier have got above extended downtime on thursday the 8th to the 9th 2022 and have released
an update message with a little picture at the bottom from sally morgan more
community manager they say there'll be a an adjustment to lens flares so they can now
appearing on all quality settings and they're visible at correct ranges now the thug star
whatever is stargoid is very sort of lens flarey is this pertinent information but if
we look at the picture at the bottom there's a coralis station which what looks to have
little lens flares around it some sort of dot but it's called transmission.png at the bottom
there's some numbers which looks like hex great if you select that picture it bounces
out off the page to you okay and you can see it called transmission.png what are those flashes
are they lens flares are they thyroids are they the same sort of thing anyway i went on reddit
and a lot of clever people on reddit commander the gump underscore a you has a post on there
as well which is pinned and i think it's really really interesting if you haven't seen it we're
going to go through it he mentions that at the bottom of that particular post is that
image the image of the coral is space station and also a code which reads 63 6f 646564 now he says
that spells out the word coded okay no dramas i'm into that and also if you download the image
and put it into notepad there's a binary string there as well
this certainly is really intriguing so go into a hex to plain text converter i'm putting in
the code at the bottom of the picture and then taking out the greater than symbols does indeed
come up with some text now if you don't take out those greater than symbols it's going to
be corrupted once you do it says this gets translated to the word coded brilliant no
problem where do we go from here well as it states from the particular commander on reddit
the next thing to do is to download the picture i downloaded the picture right click save as opened
it in notepad here we are in notepad lots of nonsense pertaining to that particular picture
if you scroll all the way down the bottom there indeed is a binary string there it is look at that
brilliant in its entirety click on that copy paste and then put it in to a binary text converter okay
so i've got one of those there's the binary click on convert binary to text convert and it
says just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not real now what does this mean more
cryptic messages are we having to go back now and look at all other posts coming out of frontier and
clicking on pictures and see if there's anything in the pictures are there any more codes left
lying around we've been so focused on looking at things from the fss and listening to sounds
are we missing something that's in plain sight who knows are they referring to
the entity the flare the stargoid the fire god whatever it's being called
and that peace in space where people are scanning it with the fss and it's producing
a sound but there's nothing there only time will tell and as they mention in their update
they're putting a deployment out this thursday will this contain more in-game content who knows
do you know what i think we're gonna find out and that's a little bit of a tip bit
because i think the trailer gone a little bit stale i've been ricardo thanks very much
for watching and thank you to the commander on reddit commander the gump underscore eu
which i've just reiterated all his hard work and other hard work from the community
in this video thanks for watching let me know what you think in the comments i'll see you soon
you
