    Can we see some more clarification regarding:
    Removed the Delta Recruit UI which was still appearing for Delta Recruit captains.

    I'm still working on leveling my Delta Recruit, so does this mean that button where I can see the progress is going away?

    Have to say, I'm not sure why board shorts aren't allowed in Off Duty, when the shirts are... I mean we can already wear beach comber bottoms in Off Duty slots.

    Most likely, though it does the exact same thing as the tesseract device you got during the tutorial. Just double click that in your inventory and it opens that window.

    I'm guessing this is the server wide reward display that serves no purpose since the event ended.

    You know you're going to get this post with every release note.

    "Still no fix for X? WTF cryptic, you've let down the entire history of western civilization in your inability to immediately solve a glitch which I've invested a suspicious amount of my ego into!"


    But....still no fix for the apocalyptic framerate glitch(es) quite a few people are having on Risa (if you're unaware of this check the support forum.)

    What the **** cryptic, you've not only let down the entire history of western civilization but also the ~3.9 billion year history of organic life (and if I have to explain that's hyperbole I'm going to be very disappointed with y'all) in your inability to solve just one aspect of a problem brought to your attention well in advance of the event via multiple support channels.     (and definitely by more people than just myself. Me being the big shouty man in this situation is no excuse for a comprehensive QA process flop. Not all that passes through cryptic's QA does flop, it must be said, but that doesn't excuse the failure here.)

    It needed fixing two weeks ago (at the very, very latest). Now...well just get the job done and we'll take it from there.

    Quick question: Will we have the option for chest hair when bare chested, or only when wearing the Aloha Shirts?

    Is the following fix regarding the direct 3D issue that has been reported since S10 launched? I have not yet personally seen an official recognition of that issue.
    Resolved an issue which was causing a few players to crash upon logging in.

    Yes, hoping that fix takes care of the direct x 3d deal...

    Also excited for the 24 to 20 hour Coleman redux for the creature raising!!

    It's the 'Recruit Rewards' button under the mini map they're talking about for Delta Recruits. If it is removed for recruits that haven't earned their rewards yet you should still be able to double click your tasseract device in your inventory to access the rewards window, as you can already do that now.

    You do realize that fixing what is possibly causing lag takes a LOT of time vs some (not simple but simple enough) fixes that can be done quickly?

    Yes, lag is a priority but if they only focused on it then a lot (and I do mean a lot) of other things would not get done.

    I express my thanks for making the doff assignments for raising tropical birds and feather monkeys take 20 hours instead of 24. Any chance the same will be done for winter epohhs next winter event? ;)

    Big thanks!

    Ship customizing and and some costume stuff were big things for me. Looking forward to the fixes.

    I pity those with low frame rate or whatever, but I've never see it or experienced it so I'd just say don't hate on Cryptic. It might not be an easy fix.

    I hope they don't remove the UI from people who are still working of there DR as I am also working on mine if so and we can't get the rewards the character was pointless to make and will be deleted as long with my other alts and possibly my main as it will be another lie of cryptics and I have had enough of them now guess we will wait and see

    You do realize that the lag issue is preventing many players from even participating in the event at all? You ever tried a board race with 5fps? Go ahead I want to see you do that and still have fun.

    The lag issue should be number one right now, not some stupid costumes or text edits. But instead the issue does get completely ignored by the developers. Not once has any Dev even acknowledged the existence of the issue... how about we start there huh?!

    There already is a fix for the low frame rate and I'm using it, its called turn your graphics settings down. OK its not a pretty but at least it gets the job done.

    Btw I only have to turn mine down one notch so it is most likely caused by one setting in the high options.

    T.b.h. I don't have any frame drops, still I can imagine how annoying it is. And I'm sure the devs are aware of and working on it..

    But (regardless of what kind of software) please remind, it's not done just by knowing the bug.. Some bugs are easy to find but hard to correct. They have to inspect tons of code, especially when it's a bug that does not appear to everyone but only a group of users.

    So keep calm and raise the roooof

    Added a bonus Summer Event donation task to give 40 marks for 40 Lohlunat Prize Vouchers.

    The bonus Summer Event donation task requires the Ferengi Nandi project to be completed on one character on an account.
    This project has a 20 hour cooldown.
    No small amount of dilithium with the marks? Awww...

    This is great, considering I haven't been able to play for a week now due to this. Problem is, I was unable to earn the specialization point for the second week of the newest featured episode.

    If you're reffering to the "Fatal Error: Direct3D" thing, there has been a workaround for a while. Start in safe mode, don't maximize the window until the characters screen appears, switch to DirectX9 mode in display settings, enjoy

    I've seen multiple threads asking about the Targ H.O.G Mini-Powerboard's speed compared to Superior Powerboards. The Targ H.O.G.'s stats are currently bugged.

    The base speed should be (and will be once the fix goes to you all) 60 - the same as a Superior Powerboard.     The turn rate will be 150, which is higher than a Superior Powerboard. While it isn't shown, the H.O.G's Inertia (ability to start/stop) is lower than a Superior Powerboard.

    So, Mini-Powerboard = higher turn rate, lower start/stop capability.
