But Johnny looks more like a thumb. [smile]

Ok lets do a deal. Kaye plays World's Best Programmer Roberts and Johnny plays the Bitter Twisted Roberts after his release from jail in the US, and is relocated in a bedsit over a hairdressers in Thatto Heath, St Helens, Lancashire, UK, a broken man.

I reckon Stephen Mangan could do a turn as CR. He can play characters that have an unshakable belief in their own abilities, even when all around can see the opposite!

Benedryl Kinkysnatch could do a turn as celebrated actor and developer Ben Lenslock?

"As you may already know, the 2.6.2 update was released to the Evocati and the first two waves of the PTU this week. The feedback we’ve received from all the dedicated backers has been immensely helpful. It’s brought to light some networking issues that we’re continuing to sort out, so thanks for submitting bugs to the Live Spectrum Feedback Channel. Gathering and replicating these bugs is essential so the CIG team can fix issues and get 2.6.2 into the hands of everyone as soon as possible. One item that we snuck into this patch is an eagerly awaited addition to Drake Interplanetary: the Buccaneer. We kept this bit a surprise up until the Evocati release, since we weren’t sure how well the untested ship would fly. Thankfully, the feedback on the latest addition to the Drake lineup has been promising."

2.6.2 is knackered and, we're snowed under with bug reports but we dont give a rat´s rear and will release it, bugs and all, CR´s mythical polish demands be unblessed, so we can offer some semblant of progress. Networking in particular is even worse than usual. We've crow-barred in another ship for you to buy, don't expect it to work properly as we rushed it through. But buy it immediately, sorry I meant donate no refunds. All the other backers have already bought it if you don't you'll be regarded as space poor on reddit or miss out or something.

Thanks and vrep all round for reminding me to always have a handy lolzbucket in a world where lolzbuckets are very often left in the basement cupboard.

Client is already downloaded and installed.

THat's system sitting at 3 black screens - while RSI sends me - if my logs are correct and there's nothing bizarre going on - yet another copy of the game into the game - as absolutely none of the drives are busy.

Whatever it is - it's enough for now.

2.6.2--- new 'buck is fun... lots of small hard points, very fast, but shields are pretty weak. other than that, a bunch of bug fixes (terminals now finally work pretty much all the time). at the beginning of the night doors weren't working (you could walk through any door without it opening), seemed to have been fixed by end of night. Does seem a little snappier, but that could be because of the low population.
and apparently trackir works again.. I didn't get to try it, but one of my org mates said he got it to work... but said it was buggy.

Yup. Alpha 3.0. Too many people on these forums miss the "Alpha" part. You know what Alpha 3.0 is going to be like? A glorious 12 FPS crash/lag fest. And you know why? Because it's supposed to be.

Too many people on these forums expect 3.0 to be some end game that they can play. We're a long (years) long, long way away from playing.

The waiting does suck and for older guys (I'm oldish too) you do have to wonder if you'll ever see the end. But hey....the journey has been......interesting at least.

Yeah, but I think a lot of the 3.0 hype is from sir roberts himself-- they've been putting a ton of emphasis on 3.0-- much of people's expectations have been driven by what they are saying. To be honest, I'm expecting something big^tm myself... if not, I may just re-shelf SC, and play ED until I get bored with the grind again.

Thats the duality of it.

"Give us more money, soon Amazingly Awesome 3.0 will be here and everyone will see you guys were right all along. But dont complain when 3.0 turns out to be a buggy crapfest that isnt even remotely playable, because its just an alpha. But do give us more money, many years from now everyone will see you guys were right all along. But first, 3.0, the Amazingly Awesome patch that will show everyone you guys were right all along. But dont... [etc]

3.0 is supposed to have the core gameplay loops in. And it has taken so many years because it will be good, with great fidelity. But we already know that trading in 3.0, whenever it arrives, will have less 'fidelity' than ED had in gamma, in a universe/trading environment that is less than ED Alpha. Yes took five times longer to make. With no estimates whatsoever when it will be improved in the presumably amazing 4.0.

What is also interesting in all discussions in Reddit or at CIG is that the vast majority really believes the game "will take as long as it takes" to get made right, as per expectations. No one seems to grasp or open up to the mere possibility (the most likely imo) that CIG will actually release much earlier than expected, weather in gold or early access, something deeply cut down from those promises. It s like CR statements about the MVP had been deleted from the community consciousness altogether.

Just saying, because going over 8-16 GB RAM without ECC means asking for silent data corruption. I wouldn't trust a rig with 128 GB of unbuffered memory.

A very valid point, but as this particular rig is only used for entertainment and can be re-imaged in just a few minutes it's not a huge concern - but yes I completely agree with you.

Star Citizen just displaying black screens and gobbling insane amounts of memory and bandwidth is a huge concern :D

Imagine how much more memory and bandwidth it would gobble up if it was actually working!

Count yourself lucky.[haha]

I regularly remind people of the reality of this in a politeful and respectful way on the subreddit. It is virtually always met with downvotes.
Ignorance is bliss I guess.
