I have seen the ads on YouTube and after playing over the last few days Im baffled as to how anyone could present the current experience with any sort of proudness that those adverts seem to portray. The current playability of the game is the worst Ive seen for years. Heres some of the issues Ive been hit with over the last couple weeks or so,
This is just the tip of the iceberg, but this is the 3.17.1 experience for me. A lot of these issues are far more game breaking for new players than veterans that are somewhat used to this sort of stuff. Ive been trying to assist new players in the verse with mixed results. There is literally no part of the game untouched by multiple bugs that make sustained playing sessions impossible for me. I keep dropping in and out, but man its a tough play. 3.17 in general has probably been the worst patch in recent memory, so bad Ive not even talked about it amongst friends as they would laugh in my face if I managed to convince them it was worth trying.

I have seen the ads on YouTube and after playing over the last few days Im baffled as to how anyone could present the current experience with any sort of proudness that those adverts seem to portray. The current playability of the game is the worst Ive seen for years. Heres some of the issues Ive been hit with over the last couple weeks or so,
- Desync still a mess so all combat is a super janky experience that is far far below a minimum standard of playability.
- C2 elevator teleporting again
- Station elevators not spawning in
- Station elevator doors opening and being presented with a wall
- Clipping through walls and floors seems to be more prevalent
- Inventory system is a chore, moving items is unreliable with rubber banding everywhere, buying and selling unreliable. Quick sell is the most ironic button in gaming right now
- Ships randomly exploding
- Star map seems to be degrading again
- Client crashes are a thing again now, for some people they're an hourly occurrence (lost a 400k load of diamond just this evening)
- 30k's, while not as bad as they have been, are very much back
- Trading terminals for cargo running don't work reliably
- Package missions dont complete with packages vanishing mid travel sometimes
- Cant deposit boxes into terminals reliably
- Bunker missions still dont work correctly, cant complete missions
- Bunker enemies still teleporting around
- Cant reliably equip or switch weapons. Rubber banding or items getting stuck in your hands
- Looting mechanics dont work reliably
- Sometimes cant consume food or drink
- Mining still having issues with various elements of the mechanics
- Landed ships can "spaz out" and flip over, float, or do all sorts of weird and wonderful things
- Several ships have issues with internal systems not working properly, like elevators or weapons racks.
- Millions in aUEC randomly vanishing
- ASOP terminals unreliable, often cant claim ships or retrieve them
- Global chat completely not working
- Friends list vanishing
- Cant create or maintain parties
- Party pips not showing up
- Getting random crime stats
- Being scanned by security and getting an incorrect result that Im carrying illegal cargo
- Being scanned by security mid combat
- NPC ships ramming all the time, and ramming is now a tactic used to help ships like Auroras defeat any other ship in 1 hit.
- Cant adjust missile count so can only fire 1 at a time
- ATC requires multiple attempts to give me a landing spot or let me take off
- The landing indicator often doesnt appear, which makes landing a places like Orison difficult and make PO a wonderful game of dodge the parking fine. #
- Elevators smacking people through walls, killing them or punting them out into space
- Ive seen complaints of headless people again, and loss of hud
- People have spawned in klesher without a multitool
- People have spawned in klesher in full armour
- Fan code in klesher not working properly
- Cant hold hacking chips in your hand properly
- Walking out from hab in oustposts causes the player to "take a hit", which can cause a downed state, steps can still be an issue.
- Internal ship elevators not working, 400i and raft are 2 notable offenders (luckily both have a side hatch you can jump from, coincidence?)
- Cant interact with weapon racks in ships, or weapons dont stay in these racks when you store them
- Cant equip missiles from inventory to ships.
- Bunker turrets incorrectly firing at you as you approach, sometimes this is invisible meaning you dont notice unless you happen to spot your shields taking damage
- Character randomly dropping dead
- Cant reliably spawn more than 1 ship at a time.
- If leaving a parent ship in a vehicle, the parent ship often incorrectly despawns, potentially leaving you stranded.
- Get thrown through the wall when attempting to leave a bed in a hab, most notably at microtech
- Cant dock to refuel with Starfarer
- Tractor beam not retrieving mined minerals correctly.
- Long waiting queue to get into servers
- Load into the game and all your money has gone.
