Star Citizen 4.0 - A New Foundation…But What’s the Next When CIG Return?

[@r92871]

4.0 has been the best performing version we've seen. Now of they kill these major bugs we will have a serious game on our hands and my medical gown can't wait

[@croosface]

depends strongly on the servermesh you are in. i got all of them, from the worst experience ever, to the normal buggy experience and the great one with the most fun i ever had

[@barretthenderson5808]

@@croosfacewhat location do you recommend?

[@croosface]

@barretthenderson5808 stanton is bad, pyro was much better.

[@croosface]

@@barretthenderson5808 and maybe if u start my feeling with arccorp and bajini point was better than all other stations and planets.

[@Alias_Reign]

It has been, although the past few days the server performance has been going down hill. I have a game breaking bug where I can’t take missions in Stanton after being released from prison, I’ve tried all the work arounds and nothing fixes it. I put in a ticket so I’m just waiting for them to either fix my account or fix the issue in general. It’s fine for now because I’ve moved over to Pyro and I’m enjoying my time there.

[@Jimill]

All exploration needs now is quantum boost, that way we can boost ourselves anywhere we like to explore and not have to rely on quantum markers.

[@ivanbluetarski9071]

i kinda like to just fly down from orbit and look for interesting things on the way

[@NotUnymous]

And....interesting things to explore... Not only Landscape without real meaning

[@legion6712]

Q-Boost is important but so is free-form Q-Plotting to any xyz coords in the star map.

[@MidnightWolfSDJ]

dont forget markers and fully mapped starmap. Exploration gameplay involves the ability to sell data points that could be valuable to other players, giving explorers more reasons to explore rather than just for fun.

[@wraith511802003]

Pay attention.. They already showed this.

[@Cr4y7-AegisInquisitor]

I want ships to tumble and deform on crash landing instead of going up like confetti... make it inoperable but let the pilot survive!

[@MidnightWolfSDJ]

This is partly what maelstrom is meant to achieve.

[@wraith511802003]

Ships will not be destroyed in the future. The design is disable, as ships are very valuable. Crashing in atmo will also not necessary destroy a ship.

[@Snarkonymous]

I hear you but If you hit the ground at mach 40, your ship should disintegrate.

[@DoomerONE]

I just want to get past my 30009 error code I have had for the past 11 days. Got to experience 4.0 for roughly 3 hours.

[@cessnat7366]

I dont think the PvP folks realize how big the engineering thing will hit them, physicalized components means that ship crippling is more common, it will defo add some interesting dynamics to fights as what modules get damaged will vary greatly

[@rikturscale8205]

They said Engineering and Charge and Drain missed 4.0, so I expect 4.1 to be those items

[@texnorthman]

I must admit, I just hope we see something other than combat focused PvP stuff. It seems like CIG have shifted their focus entirely on player conflict, combat and competition instead of a more cooperative life-in-space style sim that was so much of the focus in the early days. 2025 will be quite a pivotal year for the player base, and how CIG sets the tone and expectations going forward will be critical for players to know if this is actually a game for them or not.

[@2298766]

Crafting, Basebuilding and the economy rework will provide you that Gameplay. They achived a massiv milestone with 4.0. Let them stablize it and the content you and i wishing about will come. Since 4.0 is one of the biggest and in my opinion in one of the most stable patches since 3.0 and 3.18 my hope returns that cig will one day complete the 1.0 dream and byond

[@texnorthman]

@@2298766 Fingers crossed :) It does seem like a lot of the crafting and base building stuff was focused more on orgs and resource point domination than anything else, I hope it is just a communication issue rather than a genuine shift in the plan for the game. As for 4.0 I haven't been able to play for the past 5 days because of issues with hangars, respawning, shards dying, missions not working and a whole heap of other issues. In fact for me this has been a worse patch than 3.18 was.

[@jonneymendoza]

What does none combat pvp look like?

[@ivanbluetarski9071]

@@jonneymendoza it looks like a universe big enough for every one to enjoy the experience in any way they choose , for the most part

[@Techigai]

​@@jonneymendozaSpreadsheets. Player market economy kind of stuff? You'd technically still be vs player I guess.😅

[@vamperic]

Now that server meshing is out the door they REALLY have to prove in 2025 that they can keep up stability and push out the content. 4.0 has glaring issues most notably the dead shard lockout BUT I have to say SC has never performed so well for me in all it's years of development, such a shame 4.0 release is marred by the current issues

[@Swatmat]

dead shard lockout would have been fixed by now if it wasnt for holiday period.

[@Nine-Signs]

Based on the prior 12 years you've more chance of seeing Jesus in a titty bar.

[@00avenger00]

Gameglass would make energy management so quick and easy! Maelstrom is 100% gonna be a game changer I totally agree and can't wait for it!

[@CMDR_Scorpion]

Rly looking forwards to getting my VKB controllers finally setup in jan/feb once my room is finally finished.

[@Swatmat]

get a tobii when u can!

[@drsev61]

Recently bought VKBs. Best investment. Really great sticks. Enjoy!

[@justhere2travel]

Welcome to team sexy. Yep, combine that with tobi and become a GOD OF FIGHTING!!!!

[@sb4en]

Can’t wait for dynamic server mesh. Enjoying 4.0 preview as it is and just experiencing the preview for what it is. Yeah missions come and go but seem to be in particular areas. I found missions when in a lift to hanger but disappeared in my hanger. Checked in left again and there they were

[@chaselounge]

I feel like engineering will be it's own 4.1.x patch- seems like a lot of work and a major update to play style

[@DukeofGames50]

i don't play, but my overseas relative plays and cannot comment on youtube themself, but when i asked them what they'd do with a year of Game Glass, they replied: "I would drink orange juice out of it" :P

[@SandChimera]

I am actually hopeful again finally. The push towards stability is needed after such a long focus on Pyro and Server Meshing. Now that those are in place they can be tuned for stability and playability.

[@wonkeydonkey2407]

Great content as always Ryan

[@nmkjcjjjc6278]

Congratulations to the folks from, RSI! A milestone sir and madam! I’m keeping this ship when I’m out on a date!

[@jaybyrd3781]

Love your vids

[@nonleft96]

I am looking forward to next year in Star citizen!

[@NotUnymous]

Same as every year, James.... Question is, is T0 static Servermashing enough to make a difference? I doubt it. But I do hope they will implement at least ONE well made gamemechanics or even endgamecontent. Preferibly a (somewhat) polished flight- and FPS model to have a foundation.

[@beardedbaldy3814]

I'd be happy if they spent this year just fixing all the bugs.

[@TheGaryinWales]

Its a data flow issue. That's the main thing to fix. At this moment in time, bugs are the least of CIGs problem. CIG need to figure out how to move the massive amount of data between the clients and server. Its clearly not working for them at the moment. Until we get that working, 4.0 is stalled.

[@Ubi2447]

So excited to see so many new systems within grasp

[@cargo-nomad]

Epic Intro ❤

[@doncockroft550]

Sounds like some good thoughts for 2025. I hope is that CIG really does focus first on stability.

[@timothyt.82]

I can't wait to upgrade to NVmE. Hopefully my 1060 GTX holds up for the time until I can get that upgraded too.

[@roderikReckeless]

From the top of my head I would use gameglass to on/off engines, takeoff/landing requests, landing gear and open/close ship doors. I guess i might find some more usefull options.

[@theshield2004]

I think 4.0 is the start of a better direction, and it’ll only get better from here. I don’t think it’s fair to say the game has been in dev since 2012. They built all of this from the ground up. 2025 and beyond looks to be very promising

[@trigamingevolved]

12 years so far to create 2 AAA games and an entire game engine is really quite impressive..

[@sketto1283]

THings ran very well Sunday!

[@NonyaBidness-z1c]

No doubt the first step will be to nerf the Guardian with extreme prejudice. After all it's purpose-designed to be tremendously popular among solo players, which means it'll end up in a lot of their KMs (having to dig into EVE parlance here because one never can tell what verbiage Little Susie doesn't like on any given day) and we've already seen what happened to the last ship to do that. Beyond that, maybe completely shattering the grav-lev bike driving model for old time's sake?

[@kevinm3751]

Great points but one you did not even touch on is the issue with ship component balance, or rather the total lack there of! Things like shields are NOT working correctly and not powering up based on the parameters that are setup on the MFD. This is a real deal breaker for everything that involves ships and MUST get attention and a working fix! So while we are asking for performance improvements how about we ask for the game features that we expect to work as designed to actually work as well?

[@silentone11111111]

It’s turned into a hellish time sink . Just sucking the fun out. Cargo loading was the last straw for me.

[@0Cruik0]

Im eager to see the new bounty hunting system come in, they made it look like a lot of the functionality is working, but I think some of the ships like the Stalker might need a rework first since the standing cells aren't likely to be used anymore with the pods coming in.

[@kaisersolo76]

They need to fix the foundation and the game . I want to see this "game" become a game. I'm so sick of tired if no being able to complete a mission due to bugs...ah well back to poe2

[@vaydendar]

Hi Ryan, server meshing may not the messiah you hope it is. It's in 4.0 thats true but they have stripped a ton of features out that were likely conflicting with it or slowing it down. Lately most streamers are full of praise for how well it runs. I've played a good few hours of it over the last 5 days and I agree it's buttery smoothe. Once the mission system is back in and nothing else added, lets see if the frame rates are remaining stable. This after all is their current path of fixing whats there before adding more.

[@mennnok]

I think everyone expects a “playable now” game for the next time they have some days off. Nothing more.

[@Swatmat]

thats what we have now, ive put alot of time in over this period and maybe 5% of that time has had bad issues

[@mennnok]

@ well I can’t play. I’m stuck in Seraping station with no elevators working. First I landed in my hangar and couldn’t get to the lobby, relogged and now I’m stuck in Habs. Character repair didn’t do anything. My home is NB which is broken too. Ever real life building has emergency staircases but in the upside down world of CIG there are only elevators.

[@Swatmat]

@@mennnok very easily worked around, switch region, then go to a pad and get picked up and flown to another station, claim your ships there.....

[@mennnok]

@@Swatmat Oh super easy, ask someone in chat to pick you up. Oh wait, chat doesn't work. I think the super easy part is for CIG to fix the game, not for us to use workarounds.

[@pinwheel8279]

I totally agree about the flight model. Nothing is more central to the game. They can't have SQ42 without it. I'm also cheering-on Law & Criminality. That's a big one in my book. My question is, with their stated intension of selling SC in the broader gaming marketplace as an Early Access title, will we see a return of ToW? Or will do they have bigger fish to fry? Will it be put next to Sataball for some unspecified future time after 1.0?

[@SparrowVii]

Love the content and the great updates! Im excited for what 2025 will bring! Game Glass looks awesome! Brings immersion to a whole new level. I've been looking for something like this to set up my flight rig.

[@Daggre]

CIG can follow whatever semantic version numbering they want, but I hope they adapt to the 4.x being new features and 4.x.x being bug fix/hotfix builds. I also don’t see any reason for them to wait for quarterly boundaries to do a .x release. These can just be released whenever there is one or more feature ready to push out. There’s no reason to hold features for other features either. They could reach 4.10.3 or similar this year. I just hope they do quick 4.0.x releases as soon as possible in January. I would love to have exactly what’s in 4.0 right now but with solid missions, quantum jumping, and hangar spawning.

[@geoff1235]

You get this game. If everything that is currently in game worked properly/95% of the time then this would be an absoutely epic game as is without all the other amazing features that are on the near term (and far term) horizon

[@Sumgui119]

I love your B-reels for your vids! I promise to use the game glass membership for nefarious purposes...Mostly...

[@rdbrown58]

I don't know. It doesn't say much for the PU when Port Tressler to New Babbage is marked as "blocked".

[@Rican_Playa]

I have got to say that I'm hoping that we do get more [party/Org] features like voip, the ability to call your ships at other party member hangers. But I will say the most important is being able to communicate with your party members. I think people would have more fun when they can direct a mission or communicate with pvp to party up or tease them when you kill them.

[@warper22]

Amazing work as usual !

[@trigger8154]

Love How You Are Starting Your Videos Now!!!!

[@MrCjspeedy1981]

I dont think we'll see dynamic server meshing this year or even next year if im honest, though next year is more realistic imo. The issue is that some features still need to go in before dynamic is introduced, like transit, weather, base building, all the new Genisis stuff. While that stuff might go in this year, they'll need to harden those systems before moving to dynamic meshing. That being said, I also think dynamic meshing is a much easier task than static meshing is. Basically the main difference really is that everything that happens now in static needs to happen whist also spinning up/down servers based on player load/location. That sounds more like a lot less engineering than the foundational meshing tech itself. But take this all with a pinch of salt as I dont work at CIG

[@Pr0phet_of_Fear]

I really hope they reverse course on some of the flight model stuff. I think the current implementation of master modes is pretty decent. I hope they won't lower the non-quantum flight speed. Flying fast is fun. I hope they realize that.

[@NotUnymous]

Endgamecontent, polished gameplaymechanics (flight, FPS) and Orgs are my number ones. To not have them make this game not one I want to play.

[@sircahlen2591]

Would use gameglass to configure separated screens for mining, fighting and salvaging.

[@TheBetterManInBlack]

It would be very nice to get rid of the scroll arrows on the main mfd.

[@HillyBilly.]

I'd mainly use game glass to start up my ship, request hangar and landing gear!

[@hagenissen666]

ELEVATORS!

[@Nine-Signs]

I plumbed in as much data as I could from all available sources over the last 13 years into ChatGPT for analysis regarding Star Citizen and requested it analyse all known data and give an estimated date at which Star Citizen 1.0 would be launched... the result was not good... Anywhere between 2030 and 2035. Truly shockingly awful. And even that was contingent on a boat load of pre conditions being met which presently are not. If you had have told me 11 years ago when I purchased that I would be wating circa 20 years before a full version launch, I probably would have kept my money. As for 4.0 being a new foundation, it is a hell of a flaky one, but then I remember 3.0 was also pretty appalling at the time.

[@brandonsullivan5271]

I would use it for Star Citizen daily!

[@ThatTomCats]

[@admiralofficial5251]

cant wait until they add multithreading, so we can actually use our processors. The game running on a single core, imagine when being able to use the whole thing. p.s. the backend also needs to start to be reliable

[@snaggletoof1927]

It's a shame that 4.0 has gone exactly as I've come to expect from CIG's end of year progress. Bug after glitch after game breaking problem. It's gotten to the point where I've gone from talking about this "game" in such high regards with friends to warning them to stay away.

How do you like the Crusader Intrepid? Thinking about picking up the bundle for getting into the game for the first time. I know the Titan offers more but I just like the Intrepid.

[@TheMufflinator]

She's a solid ship with an impressively low signature. Kitted out with low signature components She's practically invisible. Internals are pretty comfy, too. If she looks good to you I can't really find a true problem, other than shield strength.

[@Techigai]

The Intrepid is just one of those ships you can live out of in my opinion. Not as nimble as others in the Starter category but it has all the nice and new interior features you might want for trying out different gameplay. Just don't get too much into the habit of buying ships if you decide to play. Most are actually quite affordable after you find your own favorite gameplay loop not to mention cheap to rent for the day.

If a game company spends 700 million dollars to get a game to the place star citizen is now then I'd say don't waste your money on a game that is never going to be any more than mediocre.
