Server, not clientHardly call 17fps smooth
That's actually not too bad and usually means NPCs etc are reasonably responsive compared to the single digit server fps we usually get.
Soldato
Having been on servers running 15-30fps, I beg to differ.
Soldato
Hardly call 17fps smooth
Server FPS, Star Citizen has a max of 30FPS server side, Different to client FPS.
Have you actually played the game ? 17FPS server side is smooth as butter, 30FPS being the max when server meshing is eventually optimized but 17 is still really good. Once it starts to go down to around 7 is when the oddities start.

Yep, On the EPTU with server meshing though anything over 10 is quite nice.
Soldato
No different to yesterdays wave 1 really.
They have a new patch incoming tomorrow evening apparently though.

This was pretty impressive on the EPTU, Server FPS of 19 with nearly 500 people and it was smooooooth.
Soldato
This would be a welcome change -

Yep, Guessing we'll eventually have a choice where to login too.

I be surprised if it makes it to live. This is more of a tech preview test on a feature (like server meshing) to be worked on and released to live 12 months later ish.
In other news the new patch just dropped and they have tweaked the hud and they have overhauled the culling algorithm so that it aggressively cleans up ships and other left over entities left around there to clean those up.
They need to just be bold and release it to live next week regardless of how the EPTU build is like because it doesn't matter if they delay it for another 3 months, it will still be a very unstable live patch. They just need to release it and get the player cuncurreny up. At the end of the day, it's a test. It all is. The word ptu states it. Yes it's a live service but it's still all a test.
This is why I've told real life friends to jump on sc on a 4.x patch because that is the patch that will be a lot more stable and playable for people to get there teeth in.
Thoughts?

At moment it very much feels like it is going backwards tbh. Noting the big part is if they release it to live it will theoretically cost them twice as much in current server capacity. Per server playerbase count has gone from 100 to 50 with SM. The opposite of what they claimed and expected and even tested in the preview channel. This can't be looking good for them and their metrics tbh.
Soldato
Exactly that. The hangar is just the location they have to test it but when they get to point of bases/apartments the login flow should have been established.
