Are they going to delay the week? As I understand there are different ships each day so it's going to be pretty annoying to see the ship you wanted to test rolling past while the servers are ded...

This a fluke then? Seems to have been working fine for him so far

Yes, if it was a major update (e.g. 3.9 or 4.0).
No, because it's a bugfix patch (3.9.1) to a two-week-old unstable build (3.9).
Stupidly, CIG management decided to bundle into the patch an in-game ship-sale event, distract testers and QA with a new gamemode (Theaters of War), then rush it out on a Friday afternoon purely for marketing reasons.
No issues here...everything is where it was supposed to be. Noticed a few cardboard cut-outs of big ships hanging around ArcCorp....no idea what everyone is fascinated about. It's a ship sale, nothing else...and time, effort and resources wasted on this crap that should have been applied to fixing the ***king game.
Guess he should have deleted his shaders folder...gets rid of the square graphics artifacts....I love watching newbies fly around clicking on stuff, they never even see Sovapid coming
Marketing always overrules common sense at Ci¬G, as usual, everything is put on hold for a cash grab whether the game is actually in a working state or not. Devs are pulled off whatever they're doing to force feed this shyte out the door and selotape it onto a vastly broken build. The server issues have simply been multiplied, old bugs are rearing their ugly heads all over again along with the new ones newly caused by inserting the additional assets required by the cash grab.
I seriously hope this clusterfarce backfires on Ci¬G...although I doubt it with all the talk of buying Krakens and Idris's. There's simply no accounting for rewarding incompetent management via idiots easily parted from their cash. A feature long relied on by Ci¬G marketing of course.

Streamer sc0rp10n66 has three accounts (his main account, a "hardcore" account with only the starter ship, and a new one this morning for free fly). He can only get into the game with one of the three, and not the free fly one.
I keep seeing geniune 'advice' here and there that folks should go around deleting their USER folder when that's not needed. Deleting that folder also bins your control and key bindings in one of the sub folders (Profile). I haven't deleted my USER folder in 2 years and I have less issues than many, I simply delete the shaders sub folder if I have issues...if ever...which is the root cause of all the graphical errors obvious in that Twitch stream. The square artifacts are supposed to be dust clouds.
Lol
Deleting the shaders folder also speeds up loading times for a bit, like it's clearing the shaders cache...I make it a common practise every now and then, it doesn't wreck my HOTAS or keybindings and keeps all my other game settings intact.
Edit: Just logged in (took forever) and all the backend services are down...no global chat channel although it shows in mobiglas, friends list not working and can't eat, drink or buy food or water...which makes the compulsory hunger/thirst mechanics real fun
I'll post a vid when it's uploaded...like maybe in a few hours with my 19th century connection to t'interweb...

…I'm beginning to suspect that CI¬G might not be very good at this whole game making thing.
Aye..sounds about right...I was going to mention the 'No **** Sherlock' quote...but prefer not to get the ban hammers flying on here as well as Spectrum

You'd think so and if it was any other company it most definitely would.
CIG as usual somehow still profits from it. It seems the worse they do the more they get, like the logic is "Oh, cig are doing worse, it must mean they need our support more than ever!"
On the up side, from a comedy perspective, it means CR will think he's doing great, and it will encourage him to greater efforts in the fidelity department, resulting in even longer development.
Thing is, i'm not sure i can keep laughing at this mess for another 20 years.
Dammit Mole! I was expecting something on-topic like a demonic cow or exploded tractor!Whilst I'm waiting for an hour or so uploading a 4 minute vid to YouTube...a couple of screenies from last night.
And once again, those poor magic germans are good to crunch and work extensively across the week-end. But what would bring furor and fury from the plebs if it was another studio is a perfectly normal and excusable situation for CIG.
I can't help but imagine shillizens wearing red caps with Make Space Great Again anagram.
Well, looking at the state of things i'll hold off trying the free fly until Monday or something. I want to give it a fair shake without fighting for a connection or overload related bugs. I want to see SC in all its stable glory
To be fair, when R* gave GTA away free on Epic store the servers were overloaded as well. But that's probably because R* are a greedy evil publisher while CIG are just incompetent.
