When Will 4.0 Release? Checking in on 4.0 PTU Progress.

[@HybridVAudio]

The 4.0 PTU build recently went wave 2! Check your launcher to see if you have access! I know a lot of you probably don't want to play the 4.0 PTU because you don't want to spoil it until it is released. This is fair, but for the rest of you, I highly recommend you try it if you get wave access. CIG need the build to break under the stress of more players. The more it breaks, the easier it is for them to find and fix problems before live. The PTU still has a lot of blocker issues that prevent it both from expanding its waves and going to LIVE. Such as the elevator bug where the elevators refuse to open the doors, effectively trapping you. Ships despawning, Ship Elevators bugging out and causing your ship to fall throw the floor, getting kicked from your own hangar and it effectively despawning your character from the world. T-posing after recovering from a crash in EVA, and so much more. That being said, it is coming along despite the problems, and the more time CIG has to look at the builds and pour over the data and crash reports, the more they can target this issues and zap them before it goes LIVE. Have you had a chance to try wave 2 yet? Let me know your thoughts on how things have been progressing. Has it been smooth sailing for your or a bug ridden nightmare? Also, let me know what your opinion is on if CIG should really let this build cook even if it over shoots their deadline or if they should try to get it out on time, even if it means the build might be less stable. - Become a member and support the show! kzbin.info/door/eSMtWcJwjm6Dj4GrWFngqAjoin Join the Discord! discord.gg/mRFMCANaCu Looking for a disciplined, teamwork-oriented org to play SC with?

[@arenomusic]

I wish travel times were wayyyy longer, gives the ship interiors more of a purpose and lets you spend more time with your crew. The downtime is where the group's story gets made.

[@BlackoutKollision]

That’s why I originally pledged. They had a scenario I remember reading as a teenager that described listening to the hum of the quantum drive from the bed of an Aurora. The visuals they described stuck with me for years.

[@Sams911]

I started messing with it during Evocati and it was a train wreck .... Wave 1 hasn't been too bad lately... we did a huge ship meetup on Hurston yesterday and at one point had maybe 25+ ships, including 5 Polaris, several Carack and other large ships and it held up pretty good... Until someone decided to pad ram everyone and wreak havoc..

[@Unmethicated]

Another banned account if someone recorded the rammer 😂😂

[@CaspersGhost618]

Rightly so. ​@@Unmethicated

[@shenanigansofthejackson9]

I've asked to do shipmeets in the live servers. Sad to say. Someone said this isn't gta online. New players just don't understand the feeling you get from doing ship meets in star citizen. Sad but it is what it is.

[@GraphiteDev]

I’ve had this issue in LIVE. Landed C2 at Orison, hit repair and my ship de-spawned. I re-logged and brought it up and the cargo was gone. Later, I came back and turns out the TDD still saw the cargo on it and it was invisible.

[@amigo3284]

It’s in wave 2 as of last night December 7th. Cap is also at 500 players per shard. One issue I have in live and PTU is map routing. I select destination and it doesn’t set rout. You have to find it in all the other jump points. To fix this you have to jump then cancel then re route. Then there’s was an issue I had last night where I would try to jump to a location and it would end up going somewhere else…

[@HybridVAudio]

The map routing is annoying. I've had issues where the hot keys don't want to listen so I can't clear the route without having to use the manual buttons. Also sometimes the search breaks and it turns into a quick link to another app in the mobi, super annoying.

[@Hanger42]

The exact same thing happened to me in Pyro at the Stanton Jump Point station. My ship disappeared right under my ass and stored itself. I was in a Terrapin Medic

[@فارسليبورد-ك8و]

[@pierro9119]

Fun fact,the nomade got a turret tractor beam ;)

[@Ultrajamz]

Yep, mining run or cargo run will be a good test. Now with meshing even missions can be an issue.

[@chehabhassan262]

"New quantum travel very very soon" :D

[@jasonfabrick9308]

It looks like for the Hull-A CIG should add an external button to extend the plates that hold the cargo containers if the ship is spawned extended.

[@HybridVAudio]

That would be a nice QoL improvement. It does get old having to get in and out of the ship just to extend/retract the spindle.

[@joesmith-tr2nj]

Enjoyed the video, Thanks

[@AAK625]

I think if they could just solve those input delays, lag spikes, and desync, SC would be 90% less painful of an experience. Great video Hybrid. o7

[@jollygoodshow]

That’s literally what they are doing with all the meshing stuff. Once Dynamic SM is in everything “should” be a better experience

[@mikehoncho116]

One thing I saw in the video you didn't catch but happened to me. If you watch it again when you repair the Hull A you can see the pad is actually slowly draining your hydrogen fuel.

[@el3ctr1csix22]

Your system is draining your hydrogen because it's used to power your systems, therefore fuseing H2 or the energy is generated by fuel cells. Ressource management.

[@mikehoncho116]

@@el3ctr1csix22 huh?

[@Skyrat12]

I'm truly looking forward to Pyro being released so that CIG will move on to Nyx or Castra where I'll be less concerned about getting ganked!!! I have ZERO interest in Pyro. It's a shame that the FIRST new system we get is for PvP almost exclusively. Yet it IS beautiful there. As Evo though, I have to agree with you about it more than likely not going Live until February.

[@HybridVAudio]

I really want to see Nyx again, and Castra looks amazing with it's high altitude vistas. Hope to see them soon.

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

There is a new build dropping tonight. 4 servers for Stanton 6 servers for Pyro and target of 500 player count. I am wondering if this will also go Wave 3?

[@RobertP-zk8vh]

i made the jump to pyro friday night first time sucessfully lol it was fun i made it to bloom and planet 1 before i dropped

[@diegomolinaf]

A patch is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to

[@Chili-Lochnagar]

Also I had that exact same crash you had several times (resulting in my death and loss of ship, even though ship can't have been destroyed) Happened when client main thread stalled a couple times. Again,hopefully these issues resolved soon.

[@0Metatron]

Never seen HUD in the rear cam before.

[@GrimReaper_Ossi]

I tried the 3 min version and I loved it

[@thesheep3077]

Luminalia starts on the 11th Dec, and it runs for 12 days, so 4.0 will have to drop to Live before then (in the next 3 days), or after, and after isn't enough time as CIG will go on holidays for 3 weeks, so it wouldn't be until the mid/late Jan.

[@mikehoncho116]

Besides the elevators I think the biggest issue is the missions. I haven't been able to successfully complete a mission yet. Markers are super scuffed.

[@racegdoce]

It's ok because is the EPTU of 4.0, the worst thing is that I had similar experiences in LIVE 3.24.2-3. Really frustrating gameplay if you want some inmersion.

[@BitterBenji]

haulin is my jam damn shame about your hull a dont get to see those flying around much. nice little video there, like to see you branching out but i am itching for a landing vid.

[@HybridVAudio]

The Hull-A holds me over until I get my Hull-B or when ever CIG fixes cargo decks for my C >:( Landing vids will be back, put a pause due to IAE and PTU widening out. But now that things have calmed down I'm back to recording some.

[@BalthazarB2]

The EPTU has been on Wave 2 since yesterday, just a heads up. Edit: I've missed your comment, my bad.

[@Qwarzz]

I really don't like many things in the new MFDs. In C2 I haven't figured how to see fuel amounts in anything but QT mode. It's also annoying to scroll thru the different pages in MFD, I liked the earlier system with a menu better. Could have improved on that.

[@AAK625]

I feel ya. And none of my MFD’s save. Sooo much scrolling.

[@helloworld12]

The reason I started Star Citizen years ago is when I came across Hybrid V Audio’s video randomly. I also used his reference code. Whenever I come to this channel, it feels like home a little bit.

[@theMedicatedCitizen]

I've noticed the tractor beam issues are worse for the me the closer the item is to my character. Hope they fix it soon, very irritating

[@o0BaCaRDi0o]

Yes for me to , starts to lagg even with my high end comp

[@dysongibson4936]

waiting for it to hit wave 3

[@CecilIsANerd]

Regarding the wild jump points, I'd like to see them more unstable, like maybe the vortices move around like a tornado and you have to avoid them, that'd be wicked. Also maybe even the tunnel moves around some, like a worm/snake.

[@HybridVAudio]

That would be awesome, hope maybe they also experiment with branching paths when exploring JP, that might be cool.

[@Chili-Lochnagar]

I was trying to fail a jump by hitting the tunnel boundary but it doesn't seem to fail and eject you like I would expect. Hopefully this gets resolved soon too.

[@HybridVAudio]

Hitting the edges builds up distortion damage, and if you build up enough you get tossed out. It is not enough just to hit the edge, you have to hit it repeatedly. This JP is very hard to fail currently after they made some adjustments from feedback. I imagine other JPs will be much harder like the wild ones for example. Being that this one is meant to be stable it is also easier so long as you can deal with the buffeting.

[@PsyEm-p1j]

What’s the advantage to flying decoupled everywhere? Looks and feels better definitely and I am presuming there is some thrust advantage perhaps 🤔

[@jujum4243]

I tried 4.0 this w-e. It was 30k after 30k in Stanton, lag and micro freeze near jumpoint and 5 to 10 sec delay with mobiglass. Two week left... i hope for the best but i don't think they will make it live bug free. It will be 3.18 style.

[@El.Timotheo]

I am guessing that 4.0 will be released next year

[@ChristoffRevan]

You are 100% wrong, because CIG have ALWAYS pushed out things before Christmas regardless of how performant they are or not...they just want to get the update out there, and I highly doubt they will wait too long. Besides...it comes in now, comes in later...still will be unstable, so they might as well release it before Christmas as planned anyway.

[@o0BaCaRDi0o]

I hope so cuase the patch is stil a mess 😅

[@Mustafa-mf6ue]

what About 32 scu cargo ?

[@Jafmanz]

I am an original backer of the game. I've kept popping back on for a few weeks every now and then. honestly im disgusted with the game development... 2016 SQ42 was supposed to be out.... 8 fookin years ago...

[@durtyred86]

If higher player counts cause so many problems, why are they so locked in on cramming as many players as they can into the server right now? It seems counterintuitive.

[@Ultrajamz]

The game kinda needs it because otherwise it feels empty world, and they need the test data.

[@durtyred86]

@Ultrajamz I'm not saying it doesn't need it. I'm saying there's a time and a place. Ribs need BBQ sauce, but you don't put the sauce on right when you lay the ribs down to cook, do you??? So why are we cramming numbers in the elevator before figuring out how to increase the elevators max capacity? It's literally causing a domino effect of issues. Why not limit the numbers in the PU, and do the cram sessions in the PTU. When one bridge is reinforced, move to the next.

[@Qwarzz]

They are stressing systems to breaking point to find out what the bottlenecks are.

[@durtyred86]

@Qwarzz yes. This should be done in the PTU. I agree 100%

[@warren3174]

I think they’re literally pushing to do this before the year ends. So they’re trying to break it as much as possible to see if they can get it smoothed out. They have went way further than I thought they would a week ago.

[@roel2377]

Hope not...I hope it will relase in February

[@ninjawizard7021]

on their site says DECEMBER, 2024, now if they change this again i will unistall this shit and NEVER play again, period.

[@TylerSL92]

its 10000% coming before Jan 1 2025. They've been testing this for over 2 months, CR stood on stage at citcon and said 4.0 would come before 2025. Its gonna be a dumpster fire for sure lol

[@nosir5596]

If it makes you feel better even if you're in coupled mode in my experience you die a lot of the time. Sometimes even if you weren't moving, or weren't moving fast enough that you would've hit anything before stopping; sometimes you just fkn die for no reason and lose your ship after a CTD.

[@HybridVAudio]

Probably that same old issue they have had for a long time where if you crash while coupled it just keeps the throttle locked to where you had it. Overall, they should just have the ship come to an auto stop if the client becomes unresponsive due to a crash.

[@nosir5596]

@HybridVAudio Yup, it's really frustrating. CTD protection basically useless unless you were already completely stationary.

[@melroy19able]

Cant play the game when 500k worth of scu won't show up in the eleavators

[@ICAC234]

I am afraid they are going to rush the patch before the end of Dec and end up with another 3.24 scenario 😂

[@jacktyler58]

With the state 4.0 is in, I would normally prefer CIG to delay it so that we don't ruin the live environment. That said, with a wipe coming and the fact that live is pretty much a shit show as well, I'm down. Just release it. That will give them the concurrency they need. It will be an unplayable mess probably for a week or two but after some patches, who knows, maybe we will get a slightly playable 4.0. God knows it isn't any fun playing live right now and performance in the EPTU is so terrible it's not worth playing there either. So if pushing it out and making it worse before it gets better is the only way, let's do it.

[@like-wh6yf]

Seen the state of the ptu and I do hope 4.0 does not make it to live before new year

[@vulcan4d]

No way it will come out live because they will get backlash and can't fix it because staff will be off. They will release 4.0 in PTU for all, and let us to deal with it.

[@N1ghtR1der666]

if it does it will be one of the last major patches CIG can afford to release because noone will play this game every again if 4.0 is remotely in the state it is currently. I think this is probably one of the last major patches anyway because CIG continualy makes the game less fun but thats just my opinion

[@TheLevitatingChin]

This tech demo is never becoming a fun game

[@Czecher86]

released just to mark it as delivered in 2024.. empty and unplayable...pathetic

[@operator9858]

This entire vid could have been summerized in a line or two...

[@kit_nova]

Star Citizen is broke. Next up... water is wet

[@chawkes70]

Tried it and wondered why tthey bothered with developing server meshing when tthey could have just instanced everything. SM servers are just as bad as the current server states. This is nowhere near release ready and yet they will push it out the door just before xmas and leave us with a crap patch through until february. Elevators, trams, missions, ship services and QT all buggy as hell. Actually there were no missions working at all on the servers I tried over the last 3 days.

[@tkynapsex]

The SM servers have much better performance, just currently more crashes

[@ninjawizard7021]

how can nobody bad mouth these things? 12 years on alpha, the dude made almost 1 BILLION in profit already.. they are LAUGHING at you guys, you guys are like cuckolds for christ sacred! CURSE a bit, PROTEST, tf really... i like this game too but i know when im being EXPLORED as a tester for 12 years, having my progress being ERASED all the time, again... TF man... stop being cattle! game is more buged now than on 2024 fr.. im waiting here for the next wipe so i can start playing again, i wont play now just to get it wiped in less than 1 month... GIVE US A FREAKING PRECISE DATE!

[@ninjawizard7021]

mark my words, unless these bozos SPEED UP a LOT for the beta, this game will DIE before it!

[@alandab]

And with all this, CIG wants to wipe your missiles/torps upon insurance claims. This dev team is so lost.

[@JJS563]

They should delay this for another 6 months. We are going to have another 3.18 on our hands
