I really struggle to understand how some of these bugs can even exist if you have competent devs.

Oh....

Artists don't help much in this case. And as for tech specialists: Just look how far they've come with system solutions and "tech" in the past decades and that should be enough indication that they either don't have competence in this area or a management that doesn't want to look reality in the eye because the dream yields just enough dolla for the retirement plan.

Sure those articles are overhyped but having 2 irl friends in the studios, there was indeed quite alot of layoff on the NA side (Austin/LA/Montreal). Not sure why people are in such denial that this can happen

This friend-of-some-devs is back, suggesting Turbulent/Montreal on a downsizing track:

[...] they’re gonna want to show off Montreal in some way. I heard that they’re scaling up the studio there, so maybe once they’re done with that?

They sure aren't i still have a friend there and Montreal Studio got downsized from what i heard so well see in the futur

Ah ok, so it def is the current ~100 player cap but now split across two servers then.

I'm expecting lots of 'guys everything works amazing!' on that front

 

[Factabulous]

Oh wow - so they have 2 minute loading screens! at random times and places! Truly this type of fidelity has never been achieved before in a video game alpha pre-alpha!

Celebrating crash recovery is funny.
Surely it err, shouldn’t crash?
I’ve only ever put crash recovery into apps as last resort and if there’s no funds to fix it in the first place!

Just you wait, soon they'll be able to transfer players between two servers!

PC gaming 'bout to get saved...

(For soon please read not-soon)

Amazing. After over a decade of development - they have sold backers on the exact same "join a lobby & wait" experience that was already built into Cryengine when they started.

Why, it will recover to just the crash situation before and then it'll crash again. That's the whole purpose of persistence.

So here's what happens when someone transitions between servers...

And shame on you who ever decided to use the jump point!!! You need a spanking from your parents.

Cool, how did it manifest?

It pretty much disabled rendering for every single player on the server. Everything just 'poofed' out of existence while still actually being at a location. Chat light the flip up when it happened, lol.

I suggest a mesh button be put in every cockpit. Whoever mashes the mesh button quickest gets the Idris.

 

[ECity]

if (location == jumpPoint) {
    return false;
}

 

[Wotthe Dickens]

if (location == jumpPoint) {
    return false;
}

More like
Return 10 years divide by zero;
Or
return yearsTaken/gamesMade; // TP: something wrong here, Todo

There was no Star Citizen Live today as presenter Jared was at the cinema watching Dune pt2
Yep, Star Citizen Live being cancelled by a film about actual sandworms is very ironic

They just do not give a frack do they. Absolute lack of respect for those who pay for their salaries.

Honestly, I don't think the majority of suckers they've fleeced really deserve any respect by this point.
