Star Citizen is an open development, crowd funded project from Cloud Imperium. Consisting of 2 games, Squadron 42 a single player, story driven campaign putting you in the middle of the Vanduul attacks as an up and coming UEE Navy pilot, and Star Citizen, a highly detailed
first person MMO set within a persistent universe where there are no limits. This includes, space, and ground aspects, massive spaceships with full interiors and interactions, a full dynamic economy which reacts to the players actions allowing for anything you can imagine.
It is all being built on the StarEngine (a modified version of Amazon's Lumberyard Engine).
Please bare in mind that this is heavily WIP and in an alpha state in which much of the foundational tech to make it a reality is still being developed. Both games do not have set release dates yet but you can play the alpha build for the PU MMO which makes consistent progress
with quarterly patch releases throughout the year.
I am an independent content creator and a fan of the game, I am not paid by Cloud Imperium however I do accept ships from them to giveaway to my community but this will by no means influence my opinion or what I say and believe about the project.

[@vicsid9606]

Same on the hauling missions. I chained hauling missions for about 3hrs and had zero issues.

[@littlemagic7905]

Now imagine they will add original feuturers as fire and enginnering. All of those fixes would go to hell

[@RobbieForReal]

Depends. Historically true, but things like elevators will at least be more understood and easier to fix before it makes it to players I'm sure.

[@littlemagic7905]

@RobbieForReal yes of course. I am happy about 4.0 but in the same time they delayed another 4 major features. I just hope that they will at least ad them

[@rixxy9204]

I went to a distribution center and it was showing "Private Property" so it shot me to hell.

[@OleChristianPedersen]

Well it was nice that they put out an event that almost no one can complete because of "BOSS mode elevators" and other quest bugs :D

[@Clearwood_]

Because of elevators not working I couldn't finish the 1st chapter. So now I get to miss out on the paints. Hopefully they'll bring them back at some point later or change the requirements to get them.

[@sanctred]

I don’t know man. I’ve finished and my friends finished. Of course there are bugs but you can work through them if you try.

[@Clearwood_]

@@sanctred love these types of responses. "It worked for my friends and me, so it should work for you if you try" lol. Trust me it wasn't for a lack of trying I can't make elevators magically work. Honestly not worth my time if I can't play I'll jump into something else until they patch it. With the hot fix I can finally play more has been nice but I missed chapter 1 so no incentive to play chapter 2.

[@yellerbelliedcoward8029]

I couldn't leave stanton. good to know its just pushing forward as usual.

[@substantialfrog3]

@@sanctredbro I can’t even use an elevator, game crashes every time I get in one. It’s not just a bug it’s literally stopping me from even doing the basics of the game

[@nikelon8227]

If you're having the infinite loading bug - load into an arena commander, fly a ship into an asteroid to die and try joining PU again, should be fixed now

[@cos4779]

Lol

[@nikelon8227]

@@cos4779 I know it soudns silly but all that does is resets your character position to the station where you respawn. Sometimes game fails to load where your character is or was and that's where infinite loading comes from like 80% of the time.

[@cos4779]

@nikelon8227 I'm not laughing to be a dick, but it is comical that a bug like that exists.

[@jamesparks3968]

That's ridiculous.

[@Rikalonius]

2:13 I've done the same thing. The main bug I ran into was, as I look at the screen while type, mining outposts freight elevators being stuck in the down position. 2:44 Yes, also you can open the terminal and do a display 1 and you can see the entities, if entities are loading or fluctuating, you'll get in at some point. If they sit at zero then maybe thinking about typing "quit" and starting over.

[@Revi2151]

Only problem I’ve had for the last couple of days (apart from slow load) is with the inventory system. Backed up moves and 900+ second delays. Or the wonderful experience of not being able to move anything out of my inventory, including equipping magazines!

[@memedbengul4350]

logging into an online friend’s session seems to guarantee a login. quick as well. also bedlogging is much faster, especially in outer space.

[@Opethfan79]

I feel like things have got better with .1 to some degree. But lets hope .2 brings us to a "more" stable and enjoyable game.

[@Zach-rw6jf]

Wasn't 4.0.1 supposed to have fixes for 4.0.0 that ended up not being fixed 🤔 my hopes for 4.0.2 are LOW.

[@QSpeedRacer]

got worst in last 2 days

[@mj.b8690]

man i cant play the game cuz everytime i try to enter the game i get error 30k in loading screen.

[@QSpeedRacer]

last 2 days its total messed up.. elevators arent working well anywhere. now when i take elvator to leave my hangar i get repositioned into a vending machine

[@Chef_nerd2]

I actually had a very smooth play time last night for a few hours. Got a few hauling contracts done until I eventually ran into an elevator/ship retrieval bug lol. But I wasn't too upset as I did have a much smooth overall play time. I know there is still a lot they can work on and I just hope that before I die this game will be complete lol. I'll be pissed if I die and I'm watching my damn kids and grandkids play on my shit!

[@ImCleos]

I mean a game like this will never be “finished”. But I’d give it another 5 years before things get really good, so I’m sure you’ll be chillin homie lol

[@Chef_nerd2]

@ lol. My daughter loves watching me fly and move cargo😭😭🤣🤣. 5 years from now I bet this game will be in an awesome spot.

[@ImCleos]

@@Chef_nerd2 I mean who knows maybe 5 years from now you’ll have her helping you move some cargo lol and yea I’m sure it’ll be amazing

[@NomedN]

20min stuck in loading just to check if it will disconnect is quite wast of time. Click ~ and monitor logs, if you got stuck you will clearly see the line with time you wait (upodated every 60s). That is the moment to type quit

[@obiincs]

I always hit the tilde key (~) now when I load into the game so you can see if the code is constantly doing something.

[@scalez9]

They are fixing the same bugs over and over again for years. Looks like the entire codebase is rotten. Everything depends on each other and is always just temporary.

[@achilles-live]

That's why there have already been massive (40gb+) rewrites of the base game and more are introduced with each update.

[@dgbene1]

Played last night. Really smooth experience. Didn’t notice any bugs right up until I crashed my ship into port Tressler

[@mrJMD]

Was that a CIG bug or a PEBKAC bug? 🙂

[@kindwick]

Ran into station elevators to hangars not working last night. Also ran into a cargo grid bugged at a Arccorp mining facility too. Not a complete fix yet.

[@emotionalsuccess]

99 bugs on the wall, 99 bugs on the wall, take one down, patch it around, 122 bugs on the wall . . . Do hope this is all not a never ending patch-work-quilt of coding and the fundamentals are there.

[@wallacengineering8096]

There is actually one infinite loading screen. Its pretty rare but with the help of r_displayinfo 1 console command you can see when it happens. So everytime I start star Citizen I pull up the console from the main menu before I even launch into the PU. I noticed one day that there were less lines of code than usual and that entities were still at 0 after a full 15 mins of loading. I realized it was infinite loading. When I alt+f4-ed and restarted, then launched again - the missing lines of code were back - i had more information as soon as loading began, even with 0 entites. The difference is that instead of staying at 0 this time, the entities began loading in after 2-3 minutes. At this point I have replicated this situation so many times that Its confirmed. I now know ahead of time whether or not my game will actually load. Its very useful to know, so if I were you I would start having displayinfo up while loading into the PU.

[@MacroAggressor]

2025 is the year of the elevator.

[@mattp1337]

Almost 70,000? My, this channel has grown.

[@vazonasvamzdis]

As for loading screen - just wait and observe loading progress using ‘ key

[@shagal2142]

No one else expiriencing ships that you are still salvaging despawn? or your own ship disappearing right after together with everything you worked for?

[@AustinCameron-f7x]

I had a reclaimer with over 2 milly on it despawn when I landed for one last big ship, fell too my death ship turned purple stopped letting me touch stuff then just went poooof

[@KR-yy8gp]

Try to land on your Start location. Maybe its there. So i got back 3Scu of Loot

[@achilles-live]

I've never ever had my ship disappear honestly.

[@KR-yy8gp]

@@achilles-live lucky you

[@shagal2142]

@ That´s because he is constantly landing and storing his ship, with small ships or cargo hauling no problem. Still has nothing to do with a peristant universe, when your ship despawns after 1 hour without storing it.

[@dei_stroyer]

I just don't understand why devs don't have BOTH server and client side checks for elevator position.. if the server says the elevator is on X level and opened, but the client doesn't.. then the client needs to force change to the server value, even if it breaks the animation.. it's such a stupidly simple solution.

[@mrJMD]

I always log out at refinery stations and I've never had a problem loading in very very quickly. Never waiting longer than 45 seconds to a minute from hitting the launch button. I wonder if part of the problem is just having so many people logging in and out at the major locations.

[@AmakingsWP]

ahh i do the same thing, i only log off in space stations. easy to load in 100% of the time. you saying the same thing just make me think it is because so many people there or waking up in one spot

[@Ironoxruss]

Thank you for the update, Ryan!

[@Raikos100]

I had issues to find a working elevator in Orison, but as soon as I got out of Orison, everything was smooth sail. So the elevators are literally the only lingering issue that REALLY needs to be fixed so everything else can be manageable. Let's hope for the best.

[@whoopdeefriggindoo]

Thanks for the workarounds.

[@randynovak8486]

4.01 was supposed to have fixes... look how well that went.

[@James_Games76]

Ya, so far Just re installed yesterday, and did 12 chained missions, with no Issues, the first for me.

[@SolarWindsRider]

SC: we don't have any loading screens! Also SC: wait 15 mins on a loading screen

[@mrspikeus1]

lol

[@achilles-live]

well at least it's just one. Right starfield?

[@SolarWindsRider]

@ Starfield doesn't have 15 mins of loading screens in a month, Star Citizen has it in 1 play session

[@luvit579]

I was shard locked in AP 020 but at around 10:30 CST tried to get in again and logged in without any abnormal loading time. Logged out and back in again and it again worked normally.

[@becksvideoproductions]

For the infinite loading I found a workaround: 1) Open the console. Look for something like "EU CET taking a long time..." 2) If it comes up a few times, type "quit" in console 3) Load into another region - should work and then exit to menu 4) Load into the region you want to. This has always worked for me.

[@realmcerono]

server was very smooth today. great fps, working elevators, did a few missions and the only bug I found was with looting enemies (their inventory vanished before my eyes). this is getting better and better!!

[@snaggletoof1927]

Keep the fixes coming, CIG. Your backers demand it.

[@sublimehypocrisy]

I'm sure this patch will make the game playable. After all, the letter from the chairman in 2018 said they're focusing on quality of life. They wouldn't lie again, would they?

[@AdolfoWWolf]

I have been playing these last 3 days, and so far, the only problem i have is my inventory spitting out things that i try to put in my storage terminal, and it being uninteractable anymore, which can make you lose a item, on a side note, i recommend you only unequip stuff at your hangar, and have a spare multi tool on your base storage inventory, that way if an item falls in the ground becomes uninteractable, you can still tractor beam it to the freight elevator and stow them to your inventory. It can happen when looting armor pieces from bodies in the ground too, which pretty much means the item is lost, or, you can tractor beam it to your ship if you have the space for the small box, to then, drop them in your freight elevator when you come back to your base. Another one is some hangar elevators do not respond to interaction, but in that case, simply going another elevator solves this, if the one that goes out of your hangar does that, loging out and back again solved that for me, note that i do not alt+F4, because that will make the game log me back to the same server/shard, where the problematic elevator was, so i exit to menu then log in back again to a different server. In sum, i'm being able to make money again by completing mercenary bunker missions, and i'm having fun.

[@AtomSplittingScience]

As a long time backer, I will happily be the first to crap all over CIG for bad releases. 4.0.1 was terrible on launch but it has greatly improved since

[@needy3535]

Wow so now it's barely playable?? Impressive.

[@Silent_Shadow]

​@@needy3535I have been stuck in Lorville for over 24 hours. The elevators to the hangars wont work, and I cant get any server to load me in at all except US.

[@aso6437]

The only problem I had today was Salvage printer on the Vulture is broken, can't unload it. only thing that work is claiming a new ship. but you also lose what is in the printer.

[@johnpreece8180]

[@everettumphrey]

Good to hear about the hauling missions. Thanks Ryan!

Hi! I started looking into Star Citizen again when Pyro vids started popping up, im planning to finally give it a go in the 2nd or 3rd quarter of this year since bug-fixing seems to be on the roadmap. I know if I can build a foundation, my family will follow suit and get on with me, so I’m looking forward to seeing updates! What ship is being piloted in this video, with the left sided cockpit? It looks very cool!

I really hope this 4.0.2 fixes elevators and such. we really need some stability. Overall though it has been pretty smooth. Afraid to go to orison though.

[@68thBC]

Did they remove the investigation missions? Been wanting to give those a try but not showing in contracts.

[@jockcop4205]

They are converting them over to work with server meshing along with a bunch of other missions.

@jockcop4205 thank you.

[@ohyeah2816]

To get on this morning I managed to have breakfast, S & S, another 2 cups of coffee and a few minutes on KZbin. Lifts were working at Area 18 but my overall turned in to a box and it was still siting there as a box when I left.

[@johnnymclemore8255]

Man I need to get Fight For Pyro Pt 2 done quickly, I think it goes dead when 4.0.2 is released.

[@justinsteiner8576]

Play arena for like 3-5 minutes. Use a map with air/space and ground combat. Get in a ship and fly around for a minute or two then land/die and run around on foot for another couple of minutes. Then quit to menu and enter PTU. Bam, no load time, or at least very short load time.

[@Singlemethod4217]

I gave up doing anything in the game. I'm lucky if I'm able to log in to any shard for that matter. If I get in its a matter of time before several issues starts piling up. Delays, broken elevators, unpredictable Inventory, hangars etc. So I log out again. And it's longer between logging on, can't bother tbh, I tire just thinking about it. On to something else.

Have they fixed falling through the plant cuz if they haven't I ain't playing it till its fixed

[@ivangibbons2335]

Cool game but the glitchiest title I have ever seen

[@ShaighJosephson]

If CIG wants to sell more of the big ticket ships, they need to get rid of forcing multiplayer to man the bigger ships and give solo pilots full control... The vast majority of players are solo and won't buy the bigger ships if they are forced to get other players to fly them... There at least needs to be way for pilots to achieve full ship control by accomplishments or buying MPC crew... If CIG was smart, they would create a way to use this to generate more money for the game... 💥

[@Jarandjar]

Dude we can't even play the game rn, the last thing that should be a priority is manning a ship.

[@groutline3819]

This is an unbelievably sad statement. There is plenty of single roll ships. Quite a few. But there is an ungodly amount of people who actually want to play a real space simulator and beyond Star Trek dude. Having a bridge full of people. Some of us have big vision excuse me millions of us.

People must understand this is NOT an alpha project like they say it is, it is only called that by CIG. When you are making money off of in game things (ship sales), then it is a LIVE SERVICE and now the basics of the game finally need to start working properly, otherwise I really do think it will die this time around. The community has had enough.

As you should. But since 4.0 hit PTU in Dec., the team has made over 81,800 commits-that’s about 1,400 changes every single day. They’re working hard on it. For those frustrated, if it’s too much right now, no shame in taking a break-it’ll still be here when you’re ready to jump back in.

[@Raikos100]

Honestly, if that promise was made during 3.0, I'd agree, but after 4.0 and the fact that they finished Squadron 42, they are giving their all and actually committing to the live server. They really going somewhere now.

They need to keep slapping in more fixes as the tech demo still runs like garbage. Transport refactor should have been a priority, this has been an issue for over 12 years.
