Have you considered the possibility that SC might be incompetently cobbled-together junk made by amateurs and complete idiots?
Good heavens...the man even has an i7 9750 and an RTX 2060 in his laptop
I'd guess there are certain issues with the engine that can cause even certain configurations of beast machines to struggle while certain configurations of weak machines to perform much better.
Its one reason that coding for consoles tends to be easier. You know what hardware you are coding for and most of the time, if you get a repeatable issue on one, you'll get it on another.
Its not an exact science even then though. No two processors are identical (and i mean processors of the same type). There are always micro imperfections in the proccess, and quite often they will pass testing. They will work fine for 99.999999% of situations but then fail at something a sister chip would not.
The joke around the Massively OP office is now that Chris is covering Star Citizen news with his angle of expertise, the rest of us can take a break from trying to ride that bucking bronco of news. Honestly, I stopped being interested in Star Citizen a long time ago. It’s too much drama, too lengthy of a development cycle, and too full of devs that like to write walls of text instead of producing results.
It’s like that with upcoming MMOs — some fall into your orbit of interest, while others drift away over time. For today’s discussion, I’m curious which future MMOs you used to track but are now no longer paying close attention to their development. Which games have fallen off your radar?
Oh ok, that's strange.
Still not available for me.
Spectrum fine for me as well, and since i was there, i thought i'd bring over some stuff.
1st. Grade Coolers will run for 4 hours 50 minutes and then die. - Star Citizen Spectrum
I have been driving my ARGO Cargo around a bit lately. With the engines and shields all powered down and the coolers therefore NOT being overloaded in any way - They still die after ~5 hours......

A person not happy with the time it takes for components to fail.
Fortunately a knight races to CIG's defense to write:
Components failing after just 5 hours is fine? Imagine the ED community if that happened? Pitchforks would be pitched! It will be fun to be replacing failed components regularly? I obviously don't share some people's ideas of fun. Love the last bit... yeah, once a week if you are a casual. Ramp that up for people who play 5 hours a day, and it becomes a daily task.
Uplifting news (even if it posted by Montoya):
Amazing generosity from the Star Citizen community as $17,725 raised for backers cancer fund - Star Citizen Spectrum
I have never seen anything like this before, it was an amazing evening in @CaptainRichard 's stream as the Star Citizen community poured in and helped @Wykstrom 's cancer gofundme hit its 50% mark...

Good on the SC community. Just hope they gave actual money and not JPGs.
A mildly interesting discussion about travel distances between systems (that doesn't actually exist yet, but hey, let's discuss it anyway).
Distance on "Star Map" wrong? - Star Citizen Spectrum
Hello, So I was checking the star map looking at distances from system to system when I noticed an error. It said the distance from "Sol" to "Terra Nova" was just shy of 65 AU. Now I know 1 AU...

It helps remind us how SC's planets are not full scale, but actually much smaller than their real world equivalents. This is something some backers like to try and forget about.
I posted Noobifier's video the other day about it taking another 8 years in his estimation. This is his Spectrum thread.
Do We Wait 10 more years? - Star Citizen Spectrum
TLDR This is a video script and its title will perhaps initially seem negative, but my goal isn't to troll or meme CIG, or the development process. There is already an overabundance of that and...

I wonder, is Noobifier going to be the next major SC streamer to turn skeptic? He said this:
He's also copping a bit of flack from the community who don't want to consider what he's saying by telling him he's shamelessly self-promoting, despite detailing all his thoughts as the main part of the post and attaching his video at the end of the long post. If it was just the video, then i'd say they have a point, but they are just deflecting since he actually wrote all his thoguhts out, there is no need to watch the video.
Today - the FPS lottery gave me 30FPS and I've mostly been stuck on an invisible train looking up through invisible ground.
And that's one big reason why CIG is struggling. Unlike how it was in the beginning, hardly anyone is covering SC anymore while NMS and ED still get regular coverage.
For me, the answer is basically none.
MMOs don't interest me that much. Give me a nice coop game, a PvP arena, a racing game, a strategy game, a single player story based game... but MMOs? Meh.
ED is as close as i like, and that's basically because i can choose who i meet depending on my mood. Most MMOs don't give you that sort of option.
Well, sometimes CIG pay for shill peices to be published.
SC currently reminds me of of the elder scrolls online...and something that totally killed ESO for me. I'd be creeping around a dark atmospheric cave... then suddenly overtaken by 2 leaping Kajits in bright purple robes shooting lightning bolts everywhere.
I played around 20 hours of that rubbish watching folks leaping about like 5 year old kids on an overdose of Skittles, that was enough to finish me for an entire lifetime of MMO's.

Khajiit has jpegs if you have coins, friend.
Today is four months.
That's totally my jam in ESO. Every quest, I just ghost it, pulling off one-hit stealth kill animations as a Vampire. They'll just be standing there on guard, and then POOF, I appear behind them out of a cloud of blood mist, sink my teeth in, they drop dead, and I vanish again. I've killed BOSSES like that when I found a corner of the arena they'd not anticipated me getting to where I'm completely out of LOS for both the boss and any adds.
Are you a Khajiit vampire, by any chance?
