Sitting here twiddling my fingers waiting for the update to come down to try this. I'm hoping the complaints about sound on the forums are just hardware related and not update related. I didn't find any sound issues in the Beta 1.1. so fingers crossed.

You talking about 1.07?

It took me about 1.5 hours to download.

So far:
I lost access to beta.
My info panel keep saying "DATA CORRUPTED, PLEASE TRY AGAIN".
My detailed surface scanner stopped working.
There is a little white dot that whips around - related to TrackIR head movements.
Loading a system map locks up the system (never loads).

At least I got a couple bounties at a USS.

I've logged out and rebooted several times, and tried Mobius and solo.
I think I'll just watch some TV until they fix it.

Update to 1.1, also requires new launcher download.

Guess I'm lucky as I haven't experienced any of that. My only issue in the last hour is the hyperspace countdown just saying, "1, engage", sometimes she skips "4 3 2".

Actually, I'm not sure what version I'm on. Is there a way to tell?

Anyway, they forced an upgrade today. I thought it was for 1.07 and the 1.1 was for the beta (seeing words that were not there). I assume I must have d/l 1.1 and 1.07 was the other day. After my problems, I d/l the new launcher and I'm still having them. :(

try going into "c:/users/(you)/AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Player"

and deleting everything in there, I have a script that deletes it's contents before every load of game..otherwise my galaxy map don't work at all.

just a thought.

1.1 Issues so far - would like to know if anyone else is experiencing these:

Sound: Engine sounds in normal flight quiet then non existent on low throttle - Entering hanger the docking platform mechanical sound is very quiet.

Invisible Interdiction: Federal security vessel message displayed in comms as interdiction started, when dropped into normal space no ship was there. (supposed to have been fixed)

Perpetual hyperspace: 2 of these - one ended with game crashing to desktop after about 3 minutes, the other I forced a quit after being in hyperspace for 2-3 minutes.

A previously adequate power plant/distributor setup can no longer power all the modules on my Cobra, deploying weapons and other modules on fire groups results in life-support engaging. (Worked around by turning off modules that aren't used very often)

Sound of the engine is quiet, although the T7 was never a very loud machine. I'll try the Asp tonight and see if that's gone quiet too.
Hyperspace took a very long time the first three jumps then went back and was in fact quicker resolved than before. I only went back and forth between the same 3 systems, so I haven't a lot of data to base that last remark on.

I've been interdicted and was put in the same session as the AI ship.

Were you running shield cells in your Cobra?

Yes I do have a shield cell, do these now draw more power as well as the ammo nerf and the increased cost?

That's what I understood from the dev-log:

- Rebalanced shield cells to take more power, have less ammo and cost more per unit than before.

I usually switch off my cargo hatch and fuel scoop (does the fuel scoop use power...?) even on my Asp which had more than enough power to run them both. Alternatively you can put them in a higher power management group so they will be switched off before other systems when you deploy your hard points to 'make room' for your shield cells.

If you're using more than one bank of shield cells, I have done this myself before, I switch off one (or more) of them and only give them power when I need them. Although I admit that doing this in the middle of a fight is fiddly.
