April Update - Patch 1

02 May 2019Developer post

Greetings Commanders,

We have released an update for Elite Dangerous. April Update, Patch 1 is a minor update containing fixes and improvements.

Commodities Market

Stopped allowing players to attempt to buy more goods from a market than it can actually supply
Increased the acceleration when choosing the quantity of commodity when buying or selling
The sell pop up now defaults to max amount of the chosen commodity you're carrying
If the player is currently docked at the station that is also set as the saved comparison market, the comparison column and its header will update and use the galactic average prices to calculate the profits
If the player doesn't have Horizons, planetary surface markets are not considered when looking for best prices in the 'also consumed by' / 'produced by' lists

Crashes/Stability

Damage Balancing

Fixed issue that caused more damage to be applied to SRVs when in multiplayer sessions

Engineering

Reverted changes made to the Drag Munitions special in the initial April Update release

Exploration

Fix new Codex discovery notifications not displaying in the cockpit UI when proximity scanning or using the discovery scanner's system scan to discover all stars in a system

Galaxy Map

Added a background to the control key along the bottom of the screen, to increase readability whilst in lighter areas of the map

Inventory

Added in a decrease button when removing cargo from your ship, even when at 1, so that players can quickly select the maximum amount they hold

Knowledge Base

Main Menu

Modules

Fixed the module tab not updating in real time when modules have been shut down due to power usage
Stopped module priorities being reset to 1 during FSD transitions
Stopped the Shield Generator module from turning back on (when deactivated) during FSD transitions

Increased the font size for the remaining number of jumps
Fixed missing 'clear filter' option from the SRV
Bookmarked locations will now have an icon to show it's marked
Selection UI will now stop at the top and bottom of the list of locations, whilst scrolling through them. A subsequent press of the button will then wrap around to the top/bottom.
Added text to explain if a stellar body requires a permit

Performance

Fixed the frame rate loss when the 'FX' graphical setting was set to anything other than 'off'

Pilots' Federation District

Pilot's Handbook

Fixed various typos and formatting issues
Added links from the mission detail screen to relevant handbook articles
Added an 'Exit' button which will quit out of the Codex completely, rather than go back one page
