If you had written "still running on HDD" I would have lauded your post as the first sensible one in a long while.
Hi Chris!
The real Chris would have a grand intro...
On my old machine with low RAM I'd often see huge breakdowns in performance. I mean the bottle neck was ram but what happened was a lot of loading to/from HDD. Would have still been bad performance but the breakdown would have been milder with SSD I guess.
Which does not prevent commandos from commsplaining that it can be the fault of the OS or of the SSD. I am not even going to get into the issue of a 600M USD installer that is still a confusing mess in 2023.
never been done before
Imagine blaming the players for installing SC on hardware CIG literally says is fine to install on:
support.robertsspaceindustries.com
As per CIG themselves, SC should run perfectly fine on a PC with AMD FX 8320, 16GB RAM, 160GB HDD, and a Nvidia GeForce GT 640 4GB.
Yeah, that's not happening.

ED interim update comes out first. Which one on the list is next?
Pyro. And roads springing from rivers. Actually it is roads from lava rivers, which makes sense when the lava cools you have new surface.
And to make it work you can toss the dude who allegedly gets into fight with his wife inside the lava because everything built needs a sacrifice. It is only symbolic sacrifice too, because it's pixels and we all know noone would get really into a fight over them.
SC is one of the few games that use a tech that instant stream huge quantity of data on the fly, a SSD is required. It's the same tech than the one you find in "Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart" on PS5. If "Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart" could be run on a hard drive, it would completely break the game too.
Playing on minimum requirement an alpha is not "fine" nor "run perfectly". If you have minimum requirement, you get minimal performance, nothing more. I know one guy that run SC on a HDD and he just stops and waits the end of loading each time he hears his HDD working.

Oh and we all know that Pyro won't launch because some pipe clogged or some other cheap excuse and there certainly won't be lava rivers but it's funny to imagine a bad troll swimming in lava for a moment.
You will be sad when Pyro (perhaps with Nyx at the same time) will be released
It will happen. Some here really believe that Pyro will never be released ?
Love the historical retcon.
CR promised the BDSSE by 2014-2015 "otherwise things will get stale"
He literally promised the best damn space sim ever would be delivered in 2-3 years, yet 10 years later, we still don't have something that could be even a contender for that title, yet the faithful keep trying to rewrite history and defend it.
Star citizen is always entertaining if you stick to watching videos about it...actually playing it or waiting whilst resting your weary head on the keyboard in frustration for 10 years to be able to complete a simple pick-up and drop mission without you or your ship blowing away or falling through the scenery, having your ship randomly explode or discovering your avatar has no head/eyes/equipment/all of the above however...not quite as endearingly entertaining
Latest PTU patch broke it again...went from some things working to everything broken once again. Mypessimisticrealisticwild prediction for a 3.18 live patch in Q2 is just looking wildly optimistic instead...
Problem with actually playing it is it required giving Genuine Roberts money or waiting for free fly when SC is at its worst.
