Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

I have a sneaking suspicion that the 3.17 builds are actually built on the 3.16 code they couldn't get to work back in December...the whole current 3.16 group of live patches is based on the ultra stable 3.15 code (the current live patch, 3.16.1 is actually 3.15.3), they only added some of 3.16's content onto the build. I think Ci¬G are still trying to get the 3.16 base code to work but once again, added certain content from the 3.17 branch to squeeze it in for the 3.17 dev cycle...Unfortunately, it's still broken...call it a hunch :whistle:

Some of the wording in the many PTU patches, and chatter among Spectrums, Reddits and Discords, indicates that 3.17 is the first stage (of many) of CIG implementing the Replication layer on the long road to static server meshing, with the huge amount of instability and bugs being a result of those refactors.

This could likely be a long 2022 of increasingly-broken SC updates, with playability getting worse before it eventually gets better - a few patches after static server meshing is fully enabled (whenever that is).

Surely that is like putting in the foundations after you have built the house ?? It will be interesting to see how that works out for them.

Any news on the nice new shiney Manchester office ? Arent they due to move in next month ?

From that reddit gaming thread

"Man star citizen is so funny to me. Ohh it’s 2011, the Kickstarter craze of video games is out of control, people are backing everything and lawsuits a plenty. But here’s star citizen who side skirted culpability. Ok they must be doing something right, but I’m not the type of person to spend money on an unfinished product I’ll wait. They say it should be done in a few years.

2014 rolls around and it’s back in the news. Ok let’s see where it’s at. Ohh new roadmaps but the general consensus is it’s still a few years out from really being a full game. Alright well that’s not big deal. I’ll check it out when it’s done.

2017 comes around and I forget why it was in the news but it was. Maybe because no mans sky popped up around then a lot of comparisons were being made. Who knows. Look into it and there is new stuff, but seemingly everyone I talk to who plays the game still has a ton of caveats and say it’s a few years from being a real thing people should spend money on. Ok. That’s cool. Check it out then I guess

It’s now 2022. My friend got a new pc for Christmas. Went over to check it out and he was like hey I just bought star citizen. It’s supposed to be amazing looking and I want to test out the new computer. Boots it up. I proceed to watch him walk around some cool looking environments and then it crashes. We reboot it go through the walking, get a package to deliver for a quest. Cool space flight looks great. The game truly does look amazing. Reach planet destination for package and the game crashed.

We put it down and played some ultimate chicken horse and it was amazing. I don’t think anything I’ve seen from star citizen wowed me. But maybe it’ll be ready in a few more years.

Also the video is funny because mr bean"
 
Kepler-37b is 3,860 km, it's also a toy planet ?
An honest argument in a nutshell.
As long as the horizon is flat when you land and that the gravity is different from one planet to another I don't care if the planet is a certain ratio or the reality. In the reality lasers are invisible, it's not fun.
Did I mention how Outer Wilds was the best damned space game ever?
