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

How are you guys finding performance in 3.8 PTU?

I'm experiencing serious frame rate drops in areas like the central part of tressler, near new babbage etc... tried levski earlier today and got maybe 11fps near there!

Servers clearly working better as people are moving around more predictably and smoothly but this frame rate stuff has me scratching my head as it has coincided with me upgrading to a 3900x.

That's a bug where people spawn big cargo ships like the Cat full of cargo, i get the same thing, it will get sorted, don't worry about it :)

Delete your user folder, that should fix it.

Thx, this worked.

Planet V4 looks nice, although the pop in and other artifacts related to LoD system are still present. Hopefully is something that can be fix with the movement to Vulkan. AIs still glitchy.

Oh well, back in 3.9 for more :p

Yup still moving to Vulcan, don’t think they’ve got a timeline on it (for what a timeline is worth with CIG anyway!).

last reference to it I can find is from a SQ42 update in August (graphics section), where it isn’t mentioned by name but is fairly clear that work is ongoing.

Edit - oh and here they talk about it in September (51.50 if time stamp doesn’t work)

Someone is not getting their stealth parcel, cuz i can't see it.


Just as they did last year its been rushed out for XMas... this patch is buggy as hell.
 
It's hilariously buggy right now, but when this works right, it's bloody amazing. Some of the most breathtakingly beautiful visuals I've ever seen.

I was given a code in 2014 and only started playing last week after watching pretty videos every now and then over the last few months and have spent about a £100 buying a ship and upgrading my existing base AMD branded Mustang.
Can't remember exactly what was what, but I have a Cutlass Black and an Avenger Titan now, which are nothing too special, but it's a start.

Anyway, the potential of this game is crazy. Nothing has drawn me in like this for a very long time, despite the frustating bugs right now.
Servers are usually full, which is a very good sign.

Had great fun with a new SC buddy I met in chat last night (half the time was spent just trying to get together in a stable fashion lol), and wouldn't mind crewing up with some of you guys if you're up for it :) It's definitely more fun with other people.

You may have got Squadron 42 with that Mustang Omega, the early ones did. did you upgrade the package or sell it on the grey market? go to https://robertsspaceindustries.com/account/pledges and check.

I would invite you to our org but we are boring old men and most of us rarely play it, waiting for it to become more complete, there are other orgs that are very active. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/orgs

The Cutlass Black is a very good all rounder, its the one ship that i would encourage you to get if you have about £100 to spend, for about £50 its the Avenger Titan.

Anyway. SQ42 is the single player campaign mode of the game sold separately. new video about it just out, and the second video is the original teaser trailer. its due out late next year.



Capt' Ships, well, 3 of them....


The Enamy....

Cheers, 'bug.
Yeah, I got S42 with the package and I bought and upgraded via RSI. Both ships (including a Mustang Alpha + Reliant Kore I tried inbetween) all totalled <£100 using the upgrade system, which isn't bad considering their standalone price.

Thanks to @LtMatt for gifting me the game all that time ago. IIRC, I made my account, spawned in a hanger and didn't know what to do, so never touched it again until now :D

Honestly, I don't expect this to be done for years, but what they've produced is very promising and it's no small task.
