Might as well wait for release. Not sure if it's anything more than an alpha tech demo atm.

I'm holding back on an upgrade until the full release for the game, not much point guessing atm as a lot can change between now and then.

2.0 might go live today:

`Hey @everyone quick update and plan for today:
We're going to push one more build to PTU today to test an extra fix for the AI spawns at a comms array that slow down and occasionally crash the game server. Our internal testing shows that the fix resolves the crash, though there can be slowdowns of 30 seconds or so, at which point the servers clear up.
If all goes well with testing, we will push this build to Live later today.
Please know this is fully dependent on a successful, stable test, and is therefore a fluid situation where plans can change last minute. If there are any problems with the new build on PTU, we will assess, make some changes, and push to Live next week.
Thanks everyone!

Hovering over buy, but mindful of specs given my aging system.

2GB GPU ain't gonna run it, right? @ 1080

What GPU is it though? But I'd buy anyway

It's a great game in fairness, can definitely see the huge potential it has. Just a shame I suck at it haha and it'll inevitably make me buy a better HOTAS. Expensive game especially if you start buying ships pre-release in addition to hardware.

Chris just confirmed on RTV that its definitely going to live later today

I hope they do something FPS wise, because on the K patch i had 40-60 FPS, on the latest L i had around 30, and the GPU usage jumped like crazy between 0-100%

Raumarik · 11 Dec 2015 at 20:15

They still have an enormous amount to do on the FPS front

Hold off until close to release, it's unoptimised and very demanding at best. I'm not saying it wouldn't run, here's a vid of me running it on a 7950 on triple monitors at 1080, only the hangar though - not the PTU version which is even more demanding.

BlizzardX · 11 Dec 2015 at 20:25

I just dropped the res down to increase FPS. Sure, its not AS pretty as it could be but I can play it with decent rates now on my aging i5 2500 and slightly newer 270x... It can only get more optimised from here.. Its worth purchasing if it interests you, although if you can wait, wait for another sale as you might get one of the cheap entry packages... Still, at the basic Aurora, I don't think you'll get it much cheaper before release.

dlknight · 11 Dec 2015 at 23:46

Awesome news.... looks like I now know what I'm doing tomorrow!

BlizzardX · 11 Dec 2015 at 23:52

Will be interesting to see how the update works from 1.3 to 2.0 as my ptu upgrades are relatively quick.

BlizzardX · 12 Dec 2015 at 00:21

And its up, downloading now...

pete910 · 12 Dec 2015 at 00:50

God damn it , my m8 just bought me GTA V , Holy *** my new fibre bb is going to get some stick/testing

BlizzardX · 12 Dec 2015 at 00:54

It's a full 30Gig download unfortunately, a little under 2 hours left...

Digital X · 12 Dec 2015 at 01:07

Oh gosh, I didn't realise it'd be this soon! So, so excited! Screenshot folder, I apologise in advance.

jakspyder · 12 Dec 2015 at 15:08

15 minutes to go... I wish i didnt have work tomorrow!

Digital X · 12 Dec 2015 at 15:11

Downloading anything using the star citizen launcher slows me to a crawl, but a few GB car packs for other games don't.. ugh.

humbug · 12 Dec 2015 at 16:08

How do you Quantum Travel (or whatever its called) ? i keep seeming ships shoot of, i assume they are travelling to objectives, i don't know how to do that and i can't find instructions for it.

Vulcan · 12 Dec 2015 at 16:23

Press B to load up the locations, then hover over one of them and use the middle mouse button. If you travel to a location, the quantum travel will automatically stop when you reach your destination. You can also quantum travel to places that aren't destinations, then just middle click again to end the travel.

Also of note, press V to use supercruise.
