I've encountered the "loading content" issue in both 4.2.1 and previous patches so that's nothing new at least. Lets hope these improvements keep things running when swarmed by LIVE playerbase.
Was the effect actual "gun-like" or just line style artefacts that happen randomly to some people? I'm just curious, not like I have a solution or workaround for that.
For sure on the loading content issue, but the nice difference here is that it worked every single time you reconnected to the terminal. In the previous versions it was very hit and miss trying that. For me, mostly miss.
The issue that I'm talking about with the snow looks like whitish yellow lasers being fired. They flash down and dissappear. I think it's a camera angle thing because I was looking around the cockpit the first time it happened and then when I went to the outer view of my ship and circled the camera around, it would happen at the same points along the circle each time. NBD, really, but it got my heart pumping for a second the first time.
To be fair, some issues tend to be less prevalent on PTU due to lower server load. Not trying to be negative and I hope I'm just being overly cautious but I learned my lesson when it comes to stuff like that. Still, thanks for the info and I hope things do in fact end up more robust with this patch.
This visual effect sounds familiar actually - I think I saw it once before but I obviously can't say for sure whether it's the same thing. In my case it looked like red lasers if I remember correctly.
