Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

It also didn't help that I'm clearly an idiot. I managed to get to the spaceport and order a ship but I couldn't work out where the hangars were

I think thats a fairly common problem. Its going to be fixed with elevators, you get in, the doors close and they open again at your hangar or destination (Think Willy Wonka Glass Elevator) wherever it is in a 360 degree arc from you. These elevators are the BDSEE they go up, down, left, right, forwards, backwards, Diagon Alley, theyre just pure magic.

Now its very important that you understand 2 things.

1. These elevators are not loading screens. From your POV it is youre looking at the inside of an elevator, and it may as well be as would speed the whole thing up immensely, but it isnt, you will travel under th feet or over the head of another player in real time....somehwere, somehow, elevator shafts are all over the place going flipping everywhere.
2. None of this is actually in game at the moment, well I say Game I mean early Alpha #BuyanIdris, its all for the future. Right now elevator doors WILL kill you randomly, as will being inside the elevator (must still be all that physical stuff in the shaft that hasnt been built yet so its trying to pass through the fidelity (scenery) and fails.

Glad to see you accept that its all your fault and the fault of your PC, and not the fault of CIG, who should be absolved.

You missed an 'Amen' at the end of that sentence :)

Those elevators are their own rooms? Does the piping travel with them?
 
They are self-contained, so just pray you don't get stuck in one for more than an hour or so.

CR dreams....hnnn...mmmm....and then we thought, how would the fuses work and if on overloaded would it blow and maybe the winch would stop working and then youre inside this elevator and it all goes dark and you have to hotwire the control panel to call for help and then your teammate, if theyre wearing the oil-resistant boiler suit on top of their Engineer outfit with all the little screwdrivers, they have to find the problem, find the blown fuse and then.....and then they can take that fuse to a shop to buy another one of the same type and then they can come and fit the fuse...only to find it blows again and theres a power overload somewhere else....and in the elevator we can have a panel that lights up and lets you buy new ships and gear while youre waiting immersed in this environment that has its own room atmos and what if that fails while youre waiting immersed and you start to run out of Hydrogen Oxygen (I have been reliably informed now by a space guru that we do breathe Oxygen and not Hydrogen, so thats something that hasnt been done before, most games use Hydrogen)....buy an Idris......mmm....hnnnn....I accept this Oscar.....
 
I gave my new graphics card a workout last night by heading to the spaceport. And I found that I was far too negative when I predicted 24 fps. I actually managed a max of 27 fps 😃. And that was after taking @LittleAnt's advice. It didn't matter whether the graphics were set to low, medium or high. And neither my cpu nor gpu went above 60%. Lots, and I mean lots, of graphics glitches. So clearly SC doesn't like my pc. It also didn't help that I'm clearly an idiot. I managed to get to the spaceport and order a ship but I couldn't work out where the hangars were. So after an hour of this I decided to play something (which I find) fun instead. Sorry SC, I'll come back when you're feeling better, hopefully at the next freefly.

Shame...I was expecting so much more from you with the second try. A redemption for your first "hit piece". I was expecting you to receive glorious 30 frames and no bugs at which point you would ve fallen in ̶l̶̶a̶̶u̶̶g̶̶h̶ love of which is teh fluff. A feeling, a sensation that you would ve tried but would ve been unable to put into words and so you would ve joined the ranks of "its fun and thats why its teh bestest"

You missed your shot. You missed your chance...now you ll be known as just another hater /sigh

Never mind. I was told germans have no sense of humor so I expect this one to derail horribly and probably offend somebody in the process. As for the idiot part of your story. I wouldnt fret about that, if we hear one thing reliably from all newcomers who try out SC for the first time its that its hard and them wasting lots of time figuring out industry standard stuff like standing up, running, powering up your ship or even entering your ship. Seems like none of these things is easy or intuitive in SC but once you break that barrier you wont think back and just enjoy (maybe) what SC has to offer?

Oh it ll help if you wont play anthing else anymore. Games that manage to deliver a living breathing 60 frames 4K with butter smooth performance world to play in wont help you to recognize what SC has to offer. Something that NO OTHER GAME out there can so obviously it has no competition.

You ll get there, three is the magic nunmber yes? :)


Of course they should be absolved. After all any pc which is better than their minimum recommended requirements should be able to run SC. It's clearly because I'm an idiot that my PC can't run this buggy, unoptimised mess of a game. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the SQ42 beta later this week 😉

Ah you see not having the game on a SSD is the problem here. Its an un-updated but well known secret that a SSD is part of the minimum requirement set. Once you correct that error you too will be able to enjoy Star Citizen at 240 frames and no bugs at all ^^ You are welcome :)
 
Bad performance because it's (pre) alpha, obviously. Never mind that performance has been regressing in every patch according to CIG's own tool, that is obviously normal because.. Agile.. or something.

Eventually, hardware will catch up to the requirements of the super duper CryEngine 3 mod.. :ROFLMAO:
 
You know what's finally coming in next NMS update, and before the same in SC? SANDWURMIES!!!!

Too harsh...lets call it "disposable income" instead and people dont care if they lose that ^^
In the end it is money circulating in the great circle of economy. Robbers is gonna spend it on luxuries. They need to be produced too. And if he buys american luxuries he can claim it a patriotic spending even. Even though he should spend it on British items. Maybe he just isnt sure what Britain consists of yet.
 
Interesting! So if Genuine Roberts plays NMS, does this mean he'll have a Vision, wave his hands around, and we'll get a nice jpeg and maybe even a teaser video of Sandwurmies in Star Citizen, never been done before, coming soon?

He and his faithful will claim that NMS would never have become as good or great as it is today without Star Citizens shining example. Hah they can even point and laugh and say that NMS stole this content from Star Citizen and SC isnt even released yet truly the bestest game there is or ever be ^^

I don't find anything that you've written offensive. Scots have got a sense of humour too 😃. It's just really disappointing to find SC in such a state. I had hoped for a smoother ride as I'd assumed that part of the reason for the freefly is to attract more customers. The very least they could do is be honest with their minimum and recommended specs. As I've said before, my pc's above these specs. What I don't understand is my low fps but SC is not coming close to fully using my gpu and cpu.
