[@doncockroft550]

I share your excitement Erad. I think it is a genius idea to run both live builds over the holidays. Give the people what they want and have some failover.

[@thediadect8914]

It's just ptu but they decided to allow us to keep our progress, that is all.

[@vicsid9606]

Time to jump into 4.0!

[@z33r2]

This is great news. Heard it here first! Just in time for vacation

[@Praetoreon]

Perfectly timed with the start of my vacation. Let’s go!

[@sbdyson]

Chris Roberts made my day. Focus on stability? Yes please.

[@ElgatoUnamused]

Go Time ! Thanks for the headsup Erad !

[@Risbruh]

I've been having a blast on the 4.0 live preview server so far. ❤

[@jqstar1786]

Fun times for the holidays!!

[@First_Chapter]

Since my SSD isn't big enough for both 3.24 and the 4.0 Preview, have backed-up the 3.24 from the SSD; renamed the LIVE folder to 4.0_PREVIEW and kicked-off the "Verify" against the folder. Hopefully, this will end-up with a playable 4.0 Preview on the SSD...

[@hratgard]

Backer since day 0 - but just recently got into playing SC - never felt I had a PC able to play the game even half decent! Looking forward to 4.0. :D

[@Interobanger]

OK, timely and helpful communique from CR. Really looking forward to the progress.

[@Not2Seriaaas]

Interesting approach to go with Preview. So far, the Guardian QI looks like an interesting option.

[@Anachroschism]

I'm glad they went with progression for 4.0 over 3.2.3, as it will encourage people over to the preview.

[@albertbuira1751]

Great video, trying now 4.0 Preview Cheers to all

[@cygnus6623]

Thanks Erad! I'm good with this. There is no reason to do anything in live, which is broken for me anyway. 4.0 is actually working very good for me in the last couple patches. I'm excited to get started. I'm looking forward to more videos by from you in the coming year.

[@sysko5986]

Dual live servers for the break and emphasis on playability going forward. Yep the time is right for both, good moves.

[@Zyklon]

A pleasant early surprise, let’s fly! Everything is Limitless! 🚀

[@everettumphrey]

4.0 already? Nice prepare for the features. Thanks for the update!

[@VinceLammas]

Maybe this is the right time to get into the Verse. I hope the 4.0 server is more stable than the experiences I have watched other players face in the past.

[@SRSR-pc8ti]

Maybe we can reinstall 3.24 if 4 turns out to be a 🍋?

[@Towmader447]

Waiting for the 4.0 release... Lets Goooo!!!!

[@Jumptownwore]

😂

[@sirion899]

Its live rn

[@mebrian5728]

But. It’s live.

[@alphawolfgang173]

@mebrian5728 its live? odd, i just started the game up and theres no update.

[@DeplorableInfidel71]

Let's go!!!!!

[@Dark_ronin7]

Glad we still have time to finish Save Stanton. Feels good to finally have 4.0. Should be less strain on the servers with both builds up. Let's go👏🏽

[@CitizenNerd]

surprising. i did not think a letter would come in 2024 :D

[@sketto1283]

Here we go!

[@rainingtalent]

Excited to finally get 4.0, thanks

[@kobeathris4552]

In theory, this is a good idea, we'll see if they are able to pull it off in practice.

[@elemekkew]

merry Christmas!

[@marcjensen9080]

A momentous day for the PU... and one that I too had to put on hold while scrambling through my pre-Christmas rush. 🤣

[@Boris_Lupo]

Waiting for the release of the "preview"... hope it goes well!

[@kiloton7346]

oooooh i was waiting all day for this!! its out now as of hour ago!

[@jamessullivan5214]

I've been waiting to play again for a while, sounds like it's time!

[@flechman63]

surprised they are doing this really not expected

[@Mr_northern_fox]

3:07 where is this location?

[@Erad_Prime]

It’s The Yard

[@TStorm86]

4.0 time!🎉

[@joachimdo7096]

Now I have to Play Star Citizen the hole Holidays! Great 🤪

[@Ogata123]

Im glad they are parallel running in case 4.0 is a 3.18

[@SRSR-pc8ti]

2 live versions? Did they double the infrastructure? Merry Christmas 🎅

[@piranhax6466]

Sounds good.. whats your thoughts on the guardian? I feel it needs a 2nd shield. Also should have had a custom pulse bay.. missed opportunity by cig

[@crimsonbutternubs7713]

The countdown is on

[@billkranz8035]

Can i select a Stanton home city for 4.0 branch?

[@olib82]

yep

[@zeelastman]

hope 2025 is a good year for SC

[@stefensmith9522]

The guardian looks pretty awesome to take to pyro

[@Arystanbek98]

Finally, 4.0

[@simonrushen2484]

4.0 is actually coming out... Wow

[@BoomerActual]

Let’s go 4.0.

[@JonoDuPreez]

2 live servers at once. Weird.

[@tonyalkmin]

Thanks for the video... If I choose the 4.0 Alpha online, will I lose everything I had in 3.24.4? (wipe) ?

[@ChrisSteele-e9j]

How do you find out if you win

[@kyosun4136]

I formated my pc today. I'm growing impatient to enter.

[@RoosterTwisted]

Good job

[@endomorphismus]

time to check out 4.0 indeed and maybe with a Terrapin Medic or Crusader Intrepid ;-)

[@Erikmafer]

Will we need to rename EPTU to live or something?

[@Lisa-Azra_Broad]

I think this is a good plan

[@Tributer9997]

A Terrapin Medic you say? :D

[@manontheridge]

Hopefully they change the cargo, wish there was an auto load and unload. Shit is not fun.

[@ChadLetourneaurhavoc]

i just looked i dont see 4.0 even with updated client

[@apolonios01]

I would prefer live servers to have stable patches that the mess in 2024...couldn't play at all most of the year...

[@joyceraezer1246]

thanks man

[@Bnryzombie]

Maybe 4.1 will be playable.

[@ornot7598]

4.0 wipe. My body is ready

[@venompre]

Please I want the terrapin!!!!!

[@Slay0lot]

They delivered as promised, that will shut alot of the negative reviewers up

[@GrimGatsby]

not just delivered its working amazingly.

[@Bnryzombie]

No its still unplayable.

[@GrimGatsby]

@@Bnryzombie it's probably the most playable it's ever been. What are you on about?

[@PandaGaming-pc2xv]

It's no out its preview

[@KipKil1igan]

4.0 previewaka ptu lol fkn CIG

[@MiLeAndFriends]

Try to survive in Pyro 🙂

[@csh5414]

They need two instances running because 4.0 probably won’t work and there will be a shit ton of drama to sort out with no Devs there. Any a miracle if it does work Pyro will be Murder Hobo heaven so after getting yanked 4 or 5 times 80% of the games Population will never visit and go back to broken game loops in the old version. Chris is talking out of his arse as usual.

[@dirtdesign]

Yay!

[@Thor_Asgard_]

And people still believe the lies ^^

[@CalabiYau-s7f]

if you're new don't buy star citizen, it's a griefers paradise.

[@davidproll2832]

Im ready to quit my job

[@MurderousNoise]

It is funny how they called PTU “live 4.0 preview”. Nothing new from CIG they always fail to deliver, even stripping 4.0 from features didnt help. Hope making 4.0 to live wont take whole Q1 of 2025.

[@GrimGatsby]

what a nitpick XD 4.0 is in our hands, working amazing and performance is through the roof. 30 server fps with 551/600 people.

[@pawe6199]

They will decouple this, decouple that.. after hearing this word so meany years now I cringe hearing it again.

[@TipsizAdam3535]

End of SC, start with 4.0 release...thanx for nothing Cris

[@bryerhop]

4.000000000000000!!!!

[@Spacepollo7548]

It runs so smoothly I'm enjoying 4.0 so much right now and I'm excited for the guardian to come out already too super excited for that as well

[@Loadalama]

It is really fascinating that we get fed the same bullshit every year and people still believe it... "its gonna get better soon guys!!!!" Squadron 42 will come out in the next 2 years since 2016, "we are focusing now more on performance and everything will get out faster and more complete" 6 years later and we get Pyro 0.5 Thats right, it has been 6 years and still half of the features are missing or not ready yet. nothing to get excited for me here. I am glad, that its out, but not excited that I had to wait for so long and it is still not what they sold us back in 2018

[@sirion899]

You forget that it constantly gets better. So servermeshing and a whole a** new Startsystem arent enough??

[@Loadalama]

@sirion899 No, after almost 13 years of broken promises, of delays after delays... it is not enough. They promised in 2023 that 2024 would be THE YEAR for star citizen, but all we got are broken features like cargo elevators, bad master modes and so on. Now they release Pyro and celebrate themselves as if they didn't delayed it for about 6 years and released it with full features. There was the sun enviromental hazard they promised, Asteroid Bases are copy and paste and there are way less outposts that they have claimed would be there

[@Loadalama]

Mission Types are missing and I hope but don't expect, that they will be added soon. We need to stop celebrating for CIG when they barely deliver the minimum of content, but always take our money and never deliver what they actually promised and sold us.

[@Loadalama]

I am not hating CIG, I am glad, its finally out. But I also don't get excited for them delivering the bare minimum.

[@curleex3838]

so if 3.24 doesnt carry over i might aswel jump to 4.0 BUT what about my ships ive paid real money for? will i loose them

[@PabloRichards]

No. You keep all the ships you paid for.

[@showlight2429]

:p

[@Raylep1]

Hahahabab lets release something that don’t work, but wait lets leave the old one that don’t work. Hahahahhaha what a gong-show.

[@AlleniumProductions]

What a joke. No 4.-0 this year. Told you so.

[@amineabdz]

It's literally live

[@KipKil1igan]

​@amineabdz its literally not. Its 4.0 PREVIEW just another word for ptu

[@zahvy]

They confirmed it's the new main branch. ​@@KipKil1igan

[@luismontoya6741]

Actually, I think is a good idea to have two lives now, there are bugs, but performance is much better than 3.2x live.

[@pylotlight]

@@KipKil1igan persistence is carried as he said, so its considered as LIVE. just not the only live....
