Star Citizen 4.0 is a DIFFERENT GAME - Performance has never been THIS Good!

[@SpartanElite925]

i jumped into the 4.0 eptu last night, and got so excited when i went through the jump point and arrived at bloom. All of my friends , who have tried the game and believe it will never improve saw the stream and were all getting excited, until i landed, stepped off the ship and fell through the planet. classic SC.

[@luistigerfox]

RIP. tbf, fewer holes are happening. But maaan do all of those need to be plugged up x.x Falling through a planet NEVER feels good.

[@TheDarkospartan]

😂

[@ChristoffRevan]

​@@luistigerfoxA lot of it is caused from people not having enough RAM though, their PCs don't render things fast enough and that's how they fall through. I'm not sure why not rendering things means you fall through it, but that's what happens

[@Skavenblight13]

This. since i upgraded to a fast SSD and also fast 64GB DDR5 RAM those accidents never happened again. Before it was regulary that something like this happened to me.

[@Libertas_P77]

This is the problem: you get excited, gear up and spend all the time ready to play. Then it’s completely wrecked by a bug and huge claim times. The game is too buggy and broken for half the changes they’ve put in place in anticipation of this being a near v1.0 ready release.. clearly years away so making it enjoyable me for players with low claim times and backspace to respawn at the hab would go a long way to enabling people to play the game not play the grind.

[@Pr1zzm]

Almost every single major patch PTU: "Performance is amazing!!!" Logging into LIVE on patch day: "......oh."

[@MidnightWolfSDJ]

CIG really needs to add a janitorial service in the game and make trash cans functionally delete objects once they are placed in the trash can. This would be a great natural way for people to clean up the game naturally to help with server decay. I often find myself grabbing objects and placing them in trashcans despite them actually physically deleting them from the world. If this happened, much of the clutter could be gone entirely. Also a medical gown drop off box would be another great way to clean up the servers as well. They could even incentivize it a bit by giving out a small auec reward for "recycling" gowns. The reward could be very miniscule and almost non-beneficial but still be a small reward for helping the game function better none-the-less. I would absolutely love this in the game. Also dynamically spawning a mission to clean up player owned derelict ships would be another great thing. I would only want these missions spawn if their are 3-4+ ships destroyed in a spot. 1-2 ships would get annoying if a mission spawn every time a ship was left alone. But a cluster would be great! Any way to get rid of stuff will help performance! Please CIG! Janitors!!!!!

[@arcadealchemist]

Body clean up wood be easy just add a recycle dumpster mechanic medial lifts in hangars if players being back NPC corpses they should be able to dump them. Create a dumpster mechanic for bins and give a token reward which adds rep and it allows you to buy junk vendor items which are hangar flair and clothing etc

[@jdqreviews3134]

Or house keeping/janitors that does it

[@MidnightWolfSDJ]

@ having ai be the very thing that cleans up a server goes against everything CIG have been building. That would literally be a glorified pop out of existence server cleanup. Having players actually clean up the servers makes object permanence a great thing. If the AI cleans up everything anyway, then why have total persistence?

[@solidsnake2665]

I played 4.0 yesterday for over 4 hours. Some issues not being able to set QT and a twitchy hanger door. I died in Pyro, respawned in Orison and went back for my stuff. My death marker was still accurate between systems.

[@MidnightWolfSDJ]

That last bit you mentioned is actually huge! death markers struggled to function in the same server. to hear someone say it worked across servers is a technical feat in of itself! hehe! amazing! I can't wait for this to go live!!!!!!!

[@Mr_Jish]

Absolutely love hearing this, I hadn't even considered what might happen if you die in one system and spawn in another. That really is massive news that you were able to inherently do that without issue and I thank you for sharing it!!

[@Zeoran]

I think you're missing something. Even with static server meshing, since they're assigning more than one server per area, it should be possible for them to reset a server without causing the shard to crash, that zone would just get worse while that server was offline rebooting. But they could make sure that it doesn't happen until that zone is at bare minimum or zero traffic before restarting. But hopefully, dynamic meshing doesn't take too much longer, as it's the Holy Grail for SC.

[@michaelgiertz-rath7994]

Actually the replication layer is the big issue, not the servers. As it is now, the replication layer replicates everything as it should. This also includes every single object like empty cans and bottles. CR & CIG are still going for that persistency feature but fail to recognize which objects have some significance to the world and which objects no one will care for. A wreck of a dead spaceship is worth to stay in place for a while, an empty bottle is not, for instance. A lot of server performance issues are based on sheer amount of objects in an instance. There's a reason why every new patch runs smoothly after release, but it takes less than a week and every single server starts to degrade to a crawl. Also the longer a server is active, the more likely it'll run into a gamebreaking bug, causing a crash. Whatever led to that crash is also replicated in the replication layer, which then may crash another server just after booting up. There are bugs that break warehouses, which also get replicated and prevent fresh servers to start with fresh, unbugged warehouse elevators. Basically CIG needs to fix their replication layers. Either they get some basic logic so each replication layer can identify bugs and remove them from persistent replication, or servers get that logic and fix themselves those issues.

[@PaulMEdwards]

​@@michaelgiertz-rath7994 I agree with your assessment. I think it would also be good for CIG to create missions to cleanup areas like stations of both small debris like empty bottles and large debris like abandoned & damaged ships. I'm certain some players, myself included, would be glad to do so from time to time. I've already done those activities in the past without getting paid.

[@jrzgcwrocks]

​@@PaulMEdwards I see you. I like your idea. No. Just clean up the 30% of nonsense that doesn't need to be persistent & leave the clean up to salvaging. As the other dude was saying.

[@FeathersMcClaw]

I'll continue to play 4.0 to help CIG with their data. Had a mixed expectations last night. Tried a bunker mission, but half the enemies never spawned. On the other hand, I had a server error and it recovered in 30 seconds.

[@MistrAnimus]

They've laid flesh to bone. Standby.

[@SaneManPritch]

I was definitely more optimistic a couple of days ago. But since last night and this morning the server has degraded so hard. They still need to figure out how to deal with building up of entities. So I guess when 4.0 hits the first thing I'll do is check if I can retrieve my ship cos I currently cannot :D

[@Jeremy_Walker]

I wonder how they are going to work that out. Entities never stop building up, so it’ll be interesting to see. Feel like full persistence may be a big challenge.

[@snowmind]

When 4.0 makes it to live, myself like many others I'm sure, we are all getting ready for some significant hair loss, due to elevator bugs frustration! Thousands of other bugs can be tolerated, but getting stuck or killed by evil CIG elevators made in RSI, is a decade old tradition that tops all others!

[@Mr_Jish]

Have you actually still had issues with this in the last two patches? Because other than maybe the one in 50 elevator doors that open to empty darkness (which you avoid by simply not stepping into it 😂) or elevators occasionally not calling (which ends up being 100% attributed to server issues in my experience), I've not noticed any of the old elevator issues anymore like previously. Now, granted the Reclaimer is unusable for me because that stupid tiny side elevator phases me out, but I count that separately from the overall past elevator issues haha

[@snowmind]

​@@Mr_Jish And as I was reading your post, for the past 5+ min I've been staring down my lift door, frantically clicking on the button for an elevator that still shows stuck somewhere else at A18. My hangar doors seem doubled up, so can't lift off either, so I'm stuck. Ironic, isn't it, that we still don't have ladders everywhere, to avoid these kinds of issues? Ask for a lift again or relog I guess...

I'll try again later today to see if I can get a decent session.

Me and a buddy spent hours going to each moon and planet raiding outposts for loot and gear, killed a lot of npcs, a few players got so much loot. We spent some good time in the frozen area of I think it was bloom messing with the furry space cow trying to get it on board before killing the whole herd and moving on. It was crazy flying around being an absolute terror, most fun I've had playing the game in a long time. Whatever magic CIG did I hope they can replicate it soon because this is a massive step forward. I've been playing since 2.6 and this is the best its been.

Hey Ryan, It's not, necessarily, dynamic server meshing that will fix the performance issues.

I'm seeing an interesting debate about persistence of small (arguably "unimportant") player-placed/dropped objects, causing most of the "degradation" issue on servers. And the idea that that's a problem on the Replication Layer, not the individual servers themselves, 'cause the R.L. just reproduces all that extraneous load/bugs for a new server when one starts up. I wish I could understand the technicals of this discussion better. Because I don't grasp why a few extra parts/debris from damaged ships, plus a few items of discarded trash, should be enough to make such a massive difference to server rendering/replication load, compared to the vast number of in-game assets rendered/tracked as the "baseline" (sans player activity) for an entire zone in the first place. I thought the whole server-degradation issue was due to accumulated *errors*, not merely the addition of a few extra physicalized objects left by players.

Man you are not lying! I played last night and man it was great I got to see pyro and fly around and some fps combat on bloom. No issues no frame drop no falling through the planet. I wanna play now but I promise wifey we would hit act 2 in POE2, hopefully she starts laundry soon!

Planning on jumping in my Carrack with some buddies that I have finally got on board and tackle Pyro with them!

First goal for me in Pyro is definitely gonna be figuring out the trade routes that work between Stanton and Pyro gotta find the profit.

Looking forward to exploring Pyro! And I'm itching to do some low flying too. The Intrepid seems to have a good mix of speed and space for the combined purpose!

Happy Luminalia Everyone, looking forward to seeing the contested zones in Pyro

Nice report, looking forward to 4 coming to PTU, thanks Mac

Can't wait to jump to pyro with my friends for the first time!

[@Rookieondabeat]

I can’t wait for better sever/client fps in live once 4.0 drops. Going to check out the contested zones in pyro and hopefully find me some goodies 😊

When 4.0 drops, First stop Pyro, of course! Also find a decent aUEC loop to compensate for the wipe, which I am looking forward to. It will give a new lease of life to the game and having stuff to aim for again.
