Windows Star Citizen

Even better, looks like I'll be moving house to a place that can get virgin 1Gig... Or plusnet 500Mbps...

 

PTU has entered "Wave 3" == Open to all players

 

What does this add?

 

Latest 3.18 Patch notes

TL;DR:-

• New racetracks
• Fixed support for ultrawide monitors
• Salvaging
• Sand caves
• New shipwrecks
• More missions
• Arena Commander QoL updates
• More "Persistant Entity Streaming"

Plus it gets us closer to 4.0 which adds the wormhole to Pyro.

Note that if you haven't played a PTU before, it's an entire separate install of the game.
But you can just rename your "LIVE" folder to "PTU", then validate, and then back when the PTU gets pushed live.

 

Playing the PTU, thanks for the renaming tip that'll come in handy!

Wanted to set my homebase to ArcCorp to be close to Lyria, landing success? learned after holding N autolands, lol

 

If you want to keep both versions installed, simply copypasta into the same folder and rename instead of just renaming.

 

Do you know how long it'll be public for?

 

CIG have only one deadline for SC patches - "When it's ready", so we'll only get a few hours to a day or so notice of it going to the live servers.

I monitor the MotD on their #sc-testing-chat channel on Spectrum (The game's own forum & chatrooms)

For example, today's reads "(Thor's Day) We are currently intending on releasing a new PTU build later this afternoon* with many..... many crash fixes. This may be a bit later than normal for a release but will update when closer!"
* "this afternoon" means around 10pm-midnight UK time, as releases are controlled by their Texas studio.

 

Figured I’d spend the day bounty hunting and working on my racing skills, although on the tram bumped into some randoms and went salvaging instead!

Ridiculous how big this space brick is!



behold salvage



breath-taking views



Valuable space junk



In about 30 minutes we netted 182k worth of materials, had two of us piloting, scanning, and salvaging the goods, another guy packing the crates and in the process reported a couple bugs to the issue council.

 

3.18 released to PSU, obviously had a bit of a delay, but its running as smooth as butter!

 

Given the size of the install, my storage woes and lack of time to sort them soon, my only option is a hard disk (as opposed to solid) if I actually want to get involved any time before the turn of the century. What are you running from on your side?

Also, I might have to hit you up for some tips or teamups at some point once I'm up and running...

 

I guess if that’s your only option there is no harm in trying?

CPU : AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core Processor

More than happy to team up when you're in the game, and run some missions with you when you first load the game and hit the launcher screen hit add friend, my username is 13ens.
