I'm waiting for the announcement that they're switching game engines again, or some kind of similar foundational shift that will add a dozen more years but promise much higher fidelity.

There is a theory they never actually switched to Lumberyard and claimed to do so only for the purpose of Crytek's lawsuit. I wonder if there was some kind of code discovery happening during the proceedings.
Some of these analogs, like almond milk, work for me. But the yummy aftertaste of fatty milk is hard to beat.Oat milk...I shudder at the thought. I'd have to cover my milking cow's ears if I ever uttered it aloud too
I can't make home made butter and cheese from oat or almond milk
There fixed it - let's keep proper English standards - it's all we got.Oat milk...I shudder at the thought. I'd have to cover my milking cow's ears if I ever uddered it aloud too
And what can you do? I just can't process it properly anymore. At least I got rid of the flatulenza now.
One of the times I visited friends on the mainland, they politely asked if I had any special dietary requirements or food allergies...I said, "Nope...I'll just lie here on the floor and you just go right ahead and sweep it all in."

It's not a theory. They have switched the licence, not the engine. Amazon had aquired the right from Crytek to sell CryEngine 3.8 with a Lumberyard label. CIG used this CryEngine 3.8. So CIG bought the exact same engine they were using to Amazon with the Lumberyard label on it to get rid of Crytek.
Lol
The sticking plaster CIG has been slapping down recently really doesn't counter Fritz's point. IE that the underlying tech is still far from robust.
A good example is the collision issue with ramps blowing up ships. They seemingly 'fixed' it by giving the ramps an infinite hit pool, for example:
"Why?" [Twitch clip]
Whatever's wrong with collision detection there is still obviously wrong, and they've just plastered over it. The underlying tech is still suss...
PS I'd also love to know how you're assessing that these issues are reduced in number. They're certainly, at minimum, still in evidence...

Recollections may vary...as they say. A lot of folks are having weird problems with the latest patch, some aren't. I'm not having too many issues at all bar the minor bugs, nor have I ever with the likes of deadly elevators, ship ramps or ladders...or glitching through floors etc. No idea why some have this issue and yet others don't. It's not like I'm running a NASA level PC or anything, nor is my net connection anything spectacular. If I'm honest...it's more like they're doing something wrong rather than I'm doing something rightYou can post videos of bugs and glitch, it doesn't change the fact that the game is waaaay more stable and have less gamebreaking bug since 3.13.0...
The underlying tech is more robust
Regardless, Ci¬G are still sticky-plastering most of it together by inserting old code when it breaks... as is noticable by re-encountering some old faithful bugs we all thought were already fixed

Any confusion no doubt stems from Chris obscuring that fact at the time:
A confusion which was eventually probed by the court case:
Eventually getting CIG to reveal, that yes, they were just using an old Cryengine build still...
Yes. It's a shame for them that acquiring a fresh Cryengine licence didn't seem to invalidate the prior one, so they just ended up with two deals instead. And then Crytek inconveniently survived their massive downturn.
Not sure it quite planned out the way CIG wanted

Not too late to enlist and join the cause for my new Space Sim Extraordinaire. It's not just a game, it's a way of life! Limited places available, first few to enlist get a free mug emblazoned with the SSE logo to help spread the word with.
Packages start from only $39.99 for a daring space boat equipped only with a light sail, a literal canon and hook to snatch space debris with and a shute at the back where the processed space debris gets evicted from.

You're all spreading FUD anyway, its called StarEngine and its been modified so much its no longer anything like either Lumberyard or CryEngine. Its got Chris' magic touch all over it!

Just repeating the assertion doesn't actually constitute evidence
It certainly doesn't counter the obvious issues with using sticking plaster fixes for older bugs. Or the existence of new bugs with 3.13, such as the dramatic threshold deaths like this, for example:
"Only TheFew can crater while walking" [Twitch clip]
All of which speak to ongoing structural issues with the game's tech.
You can repeat your 'the tech is more robust' mantra as much as you like. The evidence suggests it's as shonky as ever

That's why it doesn't work...
I just see it in game with my friends. We have far less troubles to get long sessions with teams and organizing events.Just repeating the assertion doesn't actually constitute evidence
And I've not seen a 30K since my last 20 hours of playtime, I've never played so long without a server crash.
Could be the result of moving away from database processes running inside server instances (shivers).
Since the game has been in Alpha for over 9 years, that should be the absolute bare minimum, but your experience is not everyone's experience. I don't trade anymore, and I don't mine, because I've lost millions of aUEC on 30Ks over the past 4 patches.
Aye, it's fine for faffing about pointlessly with mates or standing still laughing at glitching NPC's in space stations...but playing the game is a disaster. It's the only game I've ever played that I've ended up several million credits worse off due entirely to game bugs and server crashes after weeks of grinding...this isn't some short term issue either...this has been going on for years

Nope...only had one in the last 3 days but otherwise it's just the usual bugs. Trading not working since they broke the restocking chain in 3.11, mining not working due to server desync and lag with this patch...the servers might not be 30k'ing...but the desync and lag is the worst I've seen it for several patches. It might be due to the clusterfarce ship sale event...we'll see once the shouting and selling is over and all the temporary newbies go back to playing Fortnite I guess
