now Given the experience the Elite community had with the September patch Last year nerves were running understandably high And whilst it hasn't been all plain sailing I think we can all agree it could have been so much worse Some initial issues around frame rate drops When exiting hyperspace were identified And then addressed by Frontier firstly on social media And then in a patch for the PC the next day The same patch for consoles is expected to drop early next week With a follow up patch expected later in the week on all platforms To address some of the as yet unspecified high priority bugs Amongst players concerns are the invincible Thargoid heart bug Which appears to still be an issue Combat zone progress bars that disappear halfway through the fight Leading to a combat zone that can't be completed And the sell price of mined commodities not appearing correctly If you've got a bug that's particularly bothering you Then head over to the Frontier issue tracker Which is linked in the video description and make sure it's reported As I mentioned there's a follow up patch for all platforms expected next week And as soon as we have details on what's included in that patch We'll let you know Elite Dangerous has always been a very photogenic game And there are at least two communities within the online elitosphere That are dedicated to nothing else Those communities being the SPVFA and Galphoto Frontier themselves however have recently put out the call for Commander's very best elite screenshots to be submitted With the chance for those screenshots to be shared Across

Frontier on Twitter or Facebook To enter the fray and you never know Your work could suddenly be seen by a much larger galactic audience The second screen third party application Game Glass That made a name for itself with its initial offering to Star Citizen Is now available for use on Elite Dangerous If you're unfamiliar with Game Glass It seeks to provide a cockpit style touch screen interface Using a second monitor or ideally a phone or tablet That interfaces directly with the game on PC Allowing you to perform a number of in-game functions Such as activating landing gear, frame shift drives Or cargo scoops etc From a slick looking in-game style visual interface You can try the basic interface yourself for free on one screen And you then have the option to buy individual shards That increase the functionality of the app Into more advanced areas such as mining or exploration As well as allowing their use on multiple screens Alternatively you can pay a monthly subscription To gain access to all the elite shards across multiple screens The UK Post Office is issuing a new set of commemorative stamps this month Celebrating classic UK designed video games And the original
