Elite: Dangerous - Gamma 2.06 & 2.07 veröffentlicht

Elite: Dangerous startet am 16. Dezember 2014 in den Live-Betrieb. Kurz vorher gibt es noch einmal zwei letzte Gamma-Updates.

Am heutigen Dienstag, den 16. Dezember 2014 ist der Release-Tag der Weltraum-Simulation Elite: Dangerous. Das überaus aktive Entwicklerteam hat die wenigen Tage vor der Veröffentlichung noch einmal genutzt, um zahlreiche Verbesserung an der bereits verfügbaren Early-Access-Version des Spiels vorzunehmen. Der Pre-Release-Patchmarathon fand nun in den Gamma-Versionen 2.06 und 2.07 seinen Höhepunkt.

Die beiden letzten Aktualisierungen vor der Veröffentlichung des finalen Spiels wurden am 15. Dezember 2014 veröffentlicht und brachten noch einmal diverse Fehlerbehebungen und Verbesserungen mit sich. So wurden unter anderem zahlreiche Absturzursachen ausgemerzt und Probleme mit verschiedenen Missionen behoben. Außerdem kam es zu einigen Server-Performance-Problemen, die mit dem Gamma-Patch 2.07 der Vergangenheit angehören sollten.

Nachfolgend die kompletten Original-Patchnotes zu den Gamma-Version 2.06 und 2.07:
