Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Since yesterday's downtime, the client has loaded noticeably slower after clicking "play" on the launcher. Tried the usual cache clearing and whatnot. A quick search finds people reporting slow patching, but not too many reporting slow loading of the client. One thing I haven't tried is the repair tool, so I'll try that when I get home. Are there any other solutions I can try?

The second issue is with the behavior of the "open inventory" shortcut (alt-C) when I'm docked in station. This shortcut used to default to opening the cargo of the currently active ship. Now it opens the cargo of the first active ship.

I.e., dock up with ship A, alt-C opens ship A. Change to ship B, alt-C opens ship B. Now though, it always opens ship A. Minor inconvenience, but I figured I'd see if other people were experiencing this and if there were any fixes seeing how I was going to make a post for the launcher issue anyway.

Edit:
After tonight's patch, it looks like the launcher delay has sorted itself out. The shortcut issue still persists, though :/
