Nah, was a lame attempt at a joke, since I like your AV's hat. Unfortunately, I'm not particularly funny, so blech.

:siren: Star Citizen Patch 2.5.0m :siren:

Alpha Patch 2.5.0m has been released to the PTU, and is now available for players to test! During this initial testing phase, PTU access will be restricted to a small group of players that we will expand on over time as required.

Your launcher should show “2.5.0-393743” as the client version. It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Test 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\Test.

The full 2.5.0 Patch Notes are located here. Please 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.

Updates and Fixes
  • Fixed some severe head shake that certain ship-classes were experiencing at high speed.

Chafing and crotch sweat creates rashes. Instead of rashes, you can elect to make baby batter (the non scrotal kind) instead with baby powder. Its edible.

Has cig ever mentioned how they are going to handle the network backed?

It's a glaring elephant in the room.

Companies that depend on network play often have to have substantial network infrastructure ... From rolling their own backbones and data centers to partnering with ISPs and making sure they are upgraded and can handle the traffic (I've worked for developers that paid other ISPs to upgrade their data enters and to make sure the upgrades prioritize their traffic).

It looks like from my perspective, this isn't really a consideration or they'll hire a 3rd party company to figure it out ...

Honestly backend isn't that difficult. In my work I've designed and maintained infrastructure for many top games including one of the larger MMOs (over 1 billion usd worth) out there.

The hard parts really are decentralizing your service to make it fully redundant and adequate filtering which is very expensive for game servers due to the nature of UDP.

The big blocker really is the code itself. Infrastructure as a Service has scaled to a point that the hardware and physical aspect is almost moot at this point. Any company that rolls their own instead of leasing through a larger provider is nuts in 2016.

Yikes, still plenty of big nasty bugs on the M PTU version that's the same as what's going live:
  • Big desync problems, a lot of 30s trips into the past, especially after QD jump and EVA.
  • All gun scopes are gone, can't get them back by re-equipping anymore.
  • AI is very spotty, cutlass pirates fly away from you and explode on their own.
  • ESP is pretty broken.
Oh and the HUD is turned off in all ships with working screens, that's going to cause quite a backlash I'm sure.

Since we're sharing, here's my Star Citizen Story:

3 years ago my little brother drowned. We were out at sea on our family boat and got completely wasted. My brother fell off the boat and was too drunk to swim. Now, I want to make something clear so this doesn't seem creepy: I have accepted his death, I don't have any lingering regrets or thoughts about how I could have saved him or something. Anyway, I recently learned that if you have multiple game copies on your account you get additional character slots that can be used to create crew members for your ships. I figured I might as well create my brother in the game, you know as a sort of a memento. Instead of a boat we'd have my trusty Freelancer. We'd sail not on the sea but through the infinite black void. How cool is this going to be? If you have any stories please feel free to post them here.

We don't. Fack off. You're in the wrong thread.

well, they weren't able to fix things up for 2.4 or 2.5 despite being in relentless crunch-mode, but I'm sure the infinitely more complex 3.0 patch will run just fine a few months from now. I understand game development, you see :downs:
