    I'm confused, does this mean we now have a built-in DPS parser? Cause that would be pretty sweet...

    This seems kinda... long for a grand total of two issues...

    Considering the lengthy list of issues known and ignored. That very short patch notes list is incredibly disappointing!

    Two and a half hours is the default downtime. You have to figure, they must shut it all down, deploy updates of even small size, start it all back up and then go through thorough validation before releasing the servers to us. It's never going to be 30 minutes or an hour.

    And perhaps most importantly these are the only things they are telling us about. They are no doubt patching mountains of new data that is still secret.

    I just figured it was my recently recurring trend of bad luck in this game... well, at least something is getting fixed. Now... *unfurls scroll of issues*

    Two weeks ago, we changed a server setting so that it automatically rotated log files every hour. This setting propagated to users' clients, which in some cases could cause issues for parsers trying to read the combatlog.log file. This patch is adding a clientside setting that, if you chose to enable it, will disable that log rotation for your client. After maintenance, to enable this setting, open your launcher options and add "-noautorotatelogs" without the quotation marks to the command line at the bottom of the options screen.

    Thank you for clarifying this, though the thought occurs that not everyone reads the forums, any chance this could also be added as a temporary message on the launcher for a few days?

    Ok cool.

    They'd need to do that, honestly. Catering the game to a third-party-tool with severe limitations like comlogreader is not healthy.​​

    So we need to use this code so we can use parcers now ?
    And do we need to use this code everytime we log in or just one time ?

    I suppose the XP weekend is over when the patching is done?

    "Added –NoAutoRotateLogs command to launcher settings options to allow players to parse combat logs."

    Thank you!

    Woo, that's a complaint I opened (based on someone else's comments.)
    I guess that kills the idea that they're working on a rollup fix for the other doffing bugs.

    This one looks great!

    Resolved an issue which was causing Rarity of Duty Officers to not affect the Rewards and Crit Chances on assignments.

    My entire crew is made up of Very Rare DOFFs. Hoping to see some better results after this application.

    No fix for the Voth Dreadnought that keeps one-shotting players on normal (!) difficulty due to the inappropriate scaling? :/

    Even if this gets fixed next week, the event will almost be over by then.

    All good points, but do tell me please why didn't they take care of this 2 days ago when we had downtime for network
    upgrades? Or alternatively why didn't they upgrade the network today during maintenance/patching?

    For frame of reference, depending on the size of the patch contents, it may require more testing time relevant to the patch material. That aside, the majority of time required for maintenance in the 2 1/2 window is spent on the hardware side compared to the software side.
