Has anyone played in open recently...?

...particularly at Kaushpoos?

My son wanted to try PvP piracy, obviously he couldn't do it in Mobius, so he went into open. Kaushpoos was deserted.

At first I thought it might be a network problem (we've had to tinker with ports on the router an appconfig.xml because we're two E:D players on the same LAN), so we were toying with different configs and a quick google showed that you have to do a jump in open before you get instanced with other CMDRs. Tried that, jumped out to Wolf 812 or whatever is nearest, and saw a CMDR so we thought "fixed". Back to Kaushpoos, nothing. The exercise had otherwise proved that his PC and connection are fine, though.

As the day has worn on he's seeing gradually more players - he's got six at the CG station (I think it's Neville Horizons) but it's half as active as Mobius. I have a Mobius screen cap of the scanner showing 13 players in the station.

Nevermind FD having to take PvE seriously: They need to fix open if it's going to survive...

They have instancing problems out the wazoo .

I docked at kaushpoos yesterday in mobius, sure plenty of commanders (didn't bother counting) and as I docked entered outfitting, and promptly fell through the station...

I ran a clipper full of palladium into Kaushpoos on Sunday in Open. Took the time to get 3 wingmen to escort me in because I was sure it would be crawling with CMDR pirates. Warp in and nada. Zero. Zilch. Null set. Kind of anti climactic lol

Well on the plus side, it means that I've not borked my network settings (unless you've done it to yours, too).
