Elite: Dangerous Servers Offline Today!

[JohnnyDioxin]

For update to v3:

Hi everyone,



Soon you'll be able to strap yourself into the cockpit of the Chieftain
and explore a host of new gameplay features - Chapter One is almost
here!



The galaxy servers will be down today from 9.30 AM (GMT) for
approximately 9 hours. There is a chance that this could run over, so we
really appreciate your patience. As usual with these updates we'll keep
you as up to date as possible.



While you wait, join us for a pre-launch livestream at 2:00 PM (GMT) for
a Beyond - Chapter One recap with members of the development team on
YouTube here.



We'll post the changelog soon, and add update information to the thread as it comes in.



Keep an eye on our social media channels too for regular updates on the
server status. We will try to respond to as many queries as possible,
but we will give everyone advanced notice for when the servers come back
online, and social media is your best bet for knowing when the servers
are back up and running!



Thanks!

whilst it is the Q4 update i am really excited about, there are a lot of nice improvements in 3.0.

hopefully FD have put in some surprises as well which we will find over the coming months... but i am glad there is finally a cure for the beige plague.

I just looked in on the live stream and they announced 3 hours left to go until the servers should be back online

It's over 10GB - I was going to put the change log here, but it's huge, so here's a link:

btw - the server update is complete and they are back online - so you can update from Oculus Home or the launcher.

In OH you get a choice - but you have to update to be able to play, so it's really just a choice of when you update.


*my update was 11.08GB and in the time it took me to read those exhaustive release notes, it had completed (but I have a fast connection)
