******Official Star Citizen / Squadron 42 Thread******

I've now been invited to the PTU 2.0; downloaded last night and will have a play later. Looking forward to seeing how it runs and what I can do.

I've had to download 74gb tonight for this and it's just crashing to desktop every time I load the game :P sucks.

2.0 PTU is only 30GB, unless you downloaded the live 1.3 as well, but you didn't need to if you just want to test 2.0.

PTU Patch 2.0g just dropped now apparently if you wanna download some more, I'm skipping a few until someone tells me its stable

Just played around, it's much more stable, didn't crash for me, however... Lots of issues with commands not working, IE can't leave my ship chair, can't suicide to respawn, people can't get in their ships. Lots of people complaining about poor FPS as well, but it always runs like crap on my machine anyway so I didn't notice.
 
Hmm the last time I checked this out it was for a walk around a hangar to look at my ship. Now I've got an email about PTU so I reckon it's time to take another look :D
 
I had a few crashes last night, but got in to a loan hornet and flew off... Had to quit though as I was going out but it was nice, the station looks lovely and there where other people in the game doing stuff!... Not many, but its good to see the progress.

That was the problem. I downloaded the live 1.3 first thinking it was the right thing. Had to then download PTU but then had a 14gb or so download when I later logged into PTU as it was just crashing constantly when trying get in.

That said, just had a little look now. The performance is unplayable. Like a slideshow on my 970 GTX. Even set to low preset it's unplayable. Is there something I'm missing. Also, can't login to PTU website to see forums, just doesn't do anything when I click register.
 
What resolution are you running it at? lower them if it's 4K or 1440P.

I tried getting into anything other than the hangar in PTU tonight, just wouldnt' connect, hangar was fine (I'm not a fan of the current FPS movement, feels more clunky than before) but at least hangar worked.
 
I was having all sorts of glitches and lockups oddness when I tried a flight mission, dropping the resolution didn't help at all.

This is on a 4.2ghz 5675c GTX980 and 16GB Ram with a Samsung 850 SSD.... So its not really down to system specs.

 
It appears to me that latency causes more FPS trouble than gpu grunt right now, but I think that is because they have no local servers to NZ yet, apart from that my i5 2500 & Radeon 280 play the game fine in medium quality at 1080p.
 
Holding off on a new GPU purchase for this. I have 280x Crossfire at the moment but I'm sick of all the BS and faffing around with crossfire, to the point where I haven't played a PC title in the last year pretty much.

Does SC seem to favour nVidia or AMD? I'll be holding out for next gen cards next year anyway, but just curious.

I'm running 1080p. It does seem interesting though the game so far. Very clunky but early day yet in fairness.

I've heard about graphics config files knocking about but tried that and it didn't appear to change anything. Maybe because it was for 1.3 and not 2.0.

it has changed somewhat patch to patch, but overall it appears to either favour nvidia, or equivalent cards roughly match (at stock settings, with overclocking things obviously tend to skew back in nvidia's favour)

Your login for the PTU website will have been e-mailed to you, however there is no forum on the PTU website, that's done on the main website.

You only really need to access the PTU website if you are using the issue council to report 2.0 bugs.


At the moment there is an FPS issue with the current build, they have a fix in the works, it may be out tonight.
 
PTU H build is out now. I'll test it for FPS as soon as it finish downloading.

Heres some gameplay on G build:

In that build i got an average 30fps at every resolution no matter if its 1080p/1440p or 3200x1800

Wills see if H is better

Still on PTU. I imagine it needs another 2-3 patch to go live. They made huge improvement in a short time tho. At first you even logging in was a hit or miss process, now i can usually log in on the first try and play for an hour without crash.
