I don't feel I have turned "against" CIG though. Rather, I'm mildly disappointed with the way the project is going, and some parts of the community.

Star Citizen Patch 2.2.1

Alpha Patch 2.2.1 has been released to Live and is now available for players! This patch includes key fixes to the 300 series ships and a number of server and client crashes.

Your launcher should show “2.2.1-328656” as the client version. It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Public client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Public.

Please review our current list of 2.2.0 Known Issues FAQ, and take full advantage of our Issue Council area of the Community site to report any bugs you encounter, as well as contribute to other players submissions.

Important Issues:
Ship geometry can very occasionally disappear or turn invisible.
Using the Holotable in the Revel & York hangar will cause the game client to become unresponsive.
EVA’ing back into a ship with interior physics still has rare issues such as permanent ragdoll and death.

Game Systems:

Continued to make changes to EVA animations to smooth out some of the transitions.
Ships:

Fixed an issue where some hardpoints for the 300 series ships in the Holotable were inaccessible.
Fixed an issue with the Holotable where swapping coolers on any of the 300 series ships was extremely difficult.
Fixed a lighting issue where the doors on the 300 series would show up greyish in color.
Fixed an issue with central HUD element not displaying correctly in the 300 series.
Technical:

Fixed multiple client crashes.
Fixed multiple server crashes.

Thanks for all the help guys. My work has a strange set of sites blocked, which means that anything useful and or good is blocked, leaving me only dodgy websites that look like Geocities sites & are hosted on BRIC country TLDs.

Dowlphin's Donation Details for Defeating Deep and Devastating Depression (Dodo Dedededede) posted:

I have endured a lot and I have had negative income for many years now. I had to work through many internal and external obstacles and only now have reached a point where I realize I have given so much substantially that it is appropriate to ask for something substantial in return, otherwise I would devalue my efforts, my expertise, my potential. It has been a rough spiritual journey and still is, and substantial support like donations will help me stop the long and slow drain of energy, of motivation, of spirit, and find reward in sharing what I have to give, so that through more balance I can unlock all that potential* that wants to be set free, but can't.

Many of the things I did for various people I cannot list here. It is very diverse. (I provided spiritual-religious and end-of-life-anxiety guidance for random players in EVE Online, I befriended someone who hated and mocked what is most sacred to me, etc.) I just always did what I could out of conviction that helping others will shape a better world. Some of those activities of mine have been taken for granted, exploited, even severely punished, which left a baggage of scars, but also life lessons that eventually culminated in the realization that if I don't stop just caring about the world and start caring about myself more, I would become unable to do either.

I need to return to the playful and uplifting spirit of years past, because that is who I am; what fills me with energy to work on my various projects, what gives me drive and purpose that allows me to be the best I can be and grow in a different direction than I have so far, a more cheerful and productive one. And for that, I need to work though all that baggage of worries and fears (a lot of which I already have overcome, but so much more and frustratingly elusive still remaining) by creating a feeling of sustainability for that. Doing what I love to do is the only thing I barely have energy for. Without that love, there would be nothing left. In a way, love is my salvation.

And that is why putting an end to receiving fleeting symbolic things while making permanent substantial sacrifices has to end, and why donations make a crucial difference. I have worked so much on myself, and the lack of ability to apply what I have learned contributed to the increasingly crippling and depressing imbalance.

So if you find any of my activities, public or private, to be worth supporting and nourishing so that I can continue and unlock more of my dormant potential, consider a donation. You can donate as much or as little as you choose (consider that Paypal takes a certain fee though), whenever you choose, as often as you choose. You make a decision of how much is fair, decent and appropriate so that you can live with it. Then I can live with it, too.
Because things need to be settled in mutual agreement to create harmony.
As for my side, I can only say that at this point no amount is too much.

Feel free to contact me in regards to this or anything else on your mind. Also if you would like to be credited for your donation. I am not so used to the whole system, so I prefer to do things like that manually.
Spreading the message is very welcome, too, if you know people who I might be able to aid in any way and/or who would like to support me.

Thank you for your time and - if it shall be so - appreciation.

*ADDENDUM
Here is a list of my qualifications in fancy-speak (an approximation, limited scope, efficacy of many of them empirically verified), so that you get an idea of the potential that is ready to be applied when the opportunity arises and spiritual (which might intersect with material) motivation is given. I am applying as much of my wide sprectrum of skills as suits the situation, not just fixed on one role or process. Focus lies on the personal level, since that is the root of all human endeavors and ensuing problems.

entertainer, muse, creative director/concept designer/optimizer, synergistic artist (interdisciplinary, mixed skill levels, more wide than deep, focus on concept and process)
spiritual teacher, life counselor, mediator, communication expert
general analyst and consultant (processes and personal), smart planner/organizer, leader, holistic solution architect (problem solving instead of symptom management)

Hey so I'm gonna throw together a website that people can link whenever people say "you obviously dont know how game development works". I basically want technical and/or experiential accounts from within the videogame industry about why game development shouldn't be this way. I know this is pretty much obvious to anyone who can actually think, but it would be good to have a pile of accounts from professionals explaining why this is bullshit.

If anyone would be interested in contributing to this, please PM me or just post it in the thread. Provide as much by way of credentials as you feel comfortable with, but I'd like to be able to put at least a job title underneath the explanation.

It sounds like it's gonna be amazing. I can't wait to read things posted by people who actually played it.


On a related note Eonwe, I'd like to start recording Huniepop some time next month.
