Don't be silly Mike... I mean.. there are so many digits between 3.23.o to 4.0 XD

4.0 next? You mean Manscaped Lawnmower 4.0… right?

I had a salvage mission above Magda to salvage a Scorpius. When I started fracturing it I received a level 1 crime stat for trespassing and just as I was about to finish fracturing it my screen slowly went dark and then "Klescher Prison" popped up and I was waking up in Klescher Prison. There was no arrest, no patrol ships, nothing, just suddenly everything went black and I was waking up in prison... Peak gameplay.

I dont want to sound hard to please but i wish they would've mixed 1.0 with 2.0 so you could be upright when using your tools. "prone" for everything is a bit odd. I think that when stopped you should be in an upright position but when moving be in the prone position. seems like a lack of attention to detal.

I have had a 30k during 3.23 live. In EPTU I did have a recovery which was cool tho!

Always an excellent round up, with opinions sprinkled in. Love it. Shared.

For the last couple days it has been an absolute buggy mess hard to do anything. Patch day was amazing now I don't even have the motivation to log in because it's so glitchy it won't even accept missions most of the time. My character will randomly have a heart attack for no reason apparently the whole server gets a heart attack. Missions don't spawn, Ive spontaneously combusted. Good times

This. I don't know what the hell was up Friday night, but it was *perfect*. A few bugs here and there, but nothing that stopped gameplay. Since, it's just deteriorated to the point of unplayable. I was so hopeful after Friday night - 20 server FPS on most servers, smooth interactions, inventory actually STAYING when I dragged the damn things. Now it just feels like a super broken 3.22 with unsatisfying ship combat, broken systems, unusable stations on some ships/vehicles, ships taking 3-5 minutes to retrieve to pad, and contracts taking 10-15 minutes to show up/give you a marker.

Same. I'm loving the performance and UI improvements but I've had so many mission related bugs I think I'll just hold out until 3.23.1 releases. Tried bounties and they wouldn't spawn, tried a search mission at one of the new logistics hubs only for my target to not spawn in, tried bunkers only for them to be empty, tried salvaging only for a station to blow me up for no reason after landing, eventually I just gave up and tried ROC mining only to find out ROCs are currently bugged and can't deploy their mining lasers. It was a great update until I tried, you know, actually playing the game.

Thanks Mike, i really enjoy the updates, thanks!

Just did a VLRT on ArcCorp. 2 small fighters against my new Hornet Mk II loaner for completing Xenothreat. I pumped 1800 ballistics, 4 missiles, and God knows how many lasers into them, and they would not die. Ended up getting destroyed myself. I love CIG xD

I really don't like that they make you pay for ship paints instead of just letting you paint your own ship.

I'm looking forward for the Free Fly event ... I'm following SC since 2019, but never played, plan to try it out now ... I'm kinda hyped for the 3.23. Really appreciate your week in review videos, its a good summary on whats going on for people like me :)

Guys, simple solution, I had the same issue until I went to USER folder in RSI folder location and deleted the USER folder, then shut off my PC and restarted and pulled up the launcher. Worked immediately

It was a surprise how stable it was, and also the AI were deadly. It feels like an almost close-to-proper experience, especially with the new map.

Im having major issues 3.23. on etpu everything was working but on live its been a nightmare finding a server that will let me accept missions than when I do mission markers wont show, mercenary contracts wont spawn enemies, bountys wont always spawn. On live I've spent more time in IC then playing the game.

I would like to see it on LIVE as well.

ptu had the show, and i will say i preferred to se it in person, but i think I've found stuff in live that i didn't remember seeing in eptu 3.23. like new places to jump to in Stanton

Is anyone else having controller support issues? Specifically, with the inputs not showing properly?

So transporting this medivac Nursa thing in the back of my corsair, not really working. Wheels keep popping off after QT. Then the corsair gets stuck in space due to that. And some sort of bug can make stations and security guards fire on you without having CS. Almost everything in prison is broken, so thats hardly playable. Calling medium sized ships at orison can make them spawn outside the hangar and fall down into the planet, but if you are successful you might see it in your hanger where it will be stuck on some sort of component or a bed so you cant fly out. around 30 hours of playtime last few days after getting back, half of it was just trying to get out of a station, getting somewhere without sporadically blowing up or getting stuck and trying to het out of prison. Lots of improvements in the patch, lots of let downs again too. What does it help to have some nice new things working and all the older nice things broken and next patch these nice new things being broken ontop of all the broken shit but hey there is something new. When will they start to have a hotpatch team purely to fix minor shit that makes the game unplayable after a patch?

Performance in this patch is very good. Very excited for Invictus

Big problem with infinite loading screen, but I fixed it ultimately with upgrading my SSD card

Server tick rate is on the low side, but still some of the best AI performance I've seen. Inventory is definitely slow, but it often resolved itself after sitting there for 20-30 seconds which is way better than it being bugged and never opening again. Hands down love the patch. Probably the best patch I've played so far. Congrats CIG, with the QoL improvements, it actually felt like a game for the first time ever.

Getting into those comm arrays is way better with the new eva

I had items fall out of my inventory, literally onto the floor then vanish. I am also having issues with navigation from time to time. It can stop working out of the blue and you'll have to log out to get it working again. The map shows but when you set a nav you can't see it in the HUD. They have bugs so hoping for stability.

Thanks Mike and I 100% agree with not liking the ability to buy weapons you can't buy in game. (Skin wise)

Yeah, no spoilers for those type of events... at least for me.

Your channel is practially the only reason I interact with Star Citizen anymore, so if you could "spoil" things so I don't need to have the client on my computer again until Server Meshing is fully operational, that would be great.

Ohh the Vulcan DLSS combo is very nice you should really check it out even though it's Beta

It will be interesting to see how players use the Polaris and whether PVE missions will need to be rebalanced.

Regarding the question Mike asks around the 6:50 mark - I will be most envious of the people playing Star Citizen for the first time when it's released as a fully fledged product - not going to have all 100+ solar systems, but the game should be more or less feature complete - certainly balanced better with more cohesiveness in the different "Things to do" categories. They will get their jaw dropped when first waking up from a bed and getting their hand held to get them to the star port to request their ship to get themselves up to the orbiting station above - maybe the tutorial will introduce the tractor beam mechanics as you'll need to load and unload a box or two. Anyway I hope the servers can be reinforced so that the experiences can be more...uniform - even if it means reducing the server count to 75 or 80, would it make much of a difference? how about 50, by doing this they can see where the most savings can be found to once again increase that server count. A proper release should see the server population stable in the many hundreds not struggling with itself at 98-105 as it is being billed as an MMO. Maybe it shouldn't be as it's not really necessary to do so.

Mike, I think due to the depth of the game knowledge is power once the game finally becomes a game and testers have an edge mind you, bought and paid for. Absolutely you should show spoilers and test recordings. The sooner we know about the details of the Alpha we are testing the better in my opinion.

I would watch if you recorded the showroom. I prefer experiencing it myself.

Show them! I personally love seeing leaks and unfinished progress.

Very cool stuff But where sand worm? Before or after Dune MMO? 🤭

I want a Star Wars style flamethrower

MM killed the flying for me.. It feels very ARCADE now. Bicording is drastically reduced so you cant carry as much speed in turns. Going from 1200 scm to 200 instantly with a push of a button feels so cheesy. Dogfighting is easier now because the speed is so slow you don't need to use actual dogfighting maneuvers. just move left and right with the nose of the ship, first to lock on wins. With this one patch CIG has managed to ruin the one thing that kept me playing all of 3.18, the flying. It used to feel close to DCS. Now we have something that more resembles No Mans Skys arcade flight style. I personally think a 20 min mission teaching new players how to engage in a fight would of fixed jousting. All the players I fly with on a reg basis, engage in the typical fighting circle. Close quarter combat is easy if you know what you are doing. Now I have over 3k in a space sim that lost the sim feel in the flight model. Here is to hoping CIG continues listening to its players and finds a way to bring back that sim feeling...

I don't want to see spoilers. I much perfer to see it live.

I hope they make loadouts a thing in the future, it's a bit tiring having to sift through the inventory to find certain pieces of gear and equipping them individually every time you die or want to change gear.

CIG is definitely in the "move fast and break things" mode. It seems they have to hit 4.0 this year and promise a rough beta next year. This game will not look complete on launch, but I think the experience will be so unlike anything that they'll get a lifeline for another year or so to get this game in a good state.

Did try SC i few minutes ago, the map did not work at all. It was simply not there so it was abit hard to navigate.

I'd like to see invictus week footage. I personally cannot play the game bc my PC is an artefact, so I wouldn't mind you showing us images of that

Im enjoying the idea of master modes but honestly my shield not working when i switch modes feels unwarrented and jarring no sane person trying to escape a fight turns off shields to run be it by speed or by ftl.

How much do you guys use manscape ? I wish a reaction video of saltemikey face cut.

Helmet O2 issue... NOT RESOLVED

I aint gonna lie, I didn't know I wasn't subscribed and I feels bad for it. But good video homie ❤️

3.23 is here, and i'm not even playing it because of MM. I tried it, but i can't guys... too much limitation, it feels "fake", all the flight model balancing has been thrown out of the window... And it's a shame because the rest of the update is really nice like the new map system, EVA, gun fights, mobiglass, etc... Now i don't want to play the game anymore, so i'll wait for the next update i guess, and hope for the best...

I like all the UI changes in this patch, although the map can be a little buggy. Master modes is fine. Not bad, not great, just fine. There are a number of bugged missions, unfortunately. The next time I play I'll have to try out some FPS missions as I haven't done those yet. This is my first time actually playing a patch in about a year, so I have a bit to relearn.

I love the patch, but I really don't understand why there are hit markers in the crosshair when you hit enemies, and the dynamic crosshair is also strange. They should check more games like Tarkov and Squad for a clean and realistic shooter experience.

@blindmown

25 күн бұрын

I disagree, the reason they have those features is because it's set in the future where technology is much better. It's not crazy to think that military grade helmets would be able to track successful hits on enemies or add a dynamic cross hair to your visor. Both Tarkov and Squad are set in modern day, or close to it so the comparison doesn't seem fair to me. Also even with current technology, it's possible to create a HUD with these features, it's likely just too expensive to give it to every soldier.

I keep getting my hopes up for these patches. The good things from 3.23 include Vulcan + DLSS, and the change that allows us to fly in proper decoupled mode even when landing gear is down. Everything else is pretty terrible 😝 MasterModes is a disjointed and clunky mess, and takes the joy out of flying by turning SC into Starfield without loading screens. The UI updates are an absolute mess, with an incredibly cluttered HUD that somehow manages to be worse than 3.22 😯

Probably Sabre Phoenix, not firebird. Correct word anyway.

I feel like Id be an outsider here - but yeah, I kinda like keeping the ships hidden till live.

If they don't want us to be in our suits all the time, then they need to add durability from wear time. It would honestly blow, but it would make sense. Maybe make it so the rate is extremely low, but if it was there, it would give you at least some reason to take it off.

It would be unfortunate to continue focusing on adding ever more downsides to force player behavior, we need more upsides as well like being able to flag groups of wearables as a "set" to then deal with them as one robust unit for inventory purposes, or hunger and thirst and hygiene all accumulate way slower when you're in normal clothes.

@@Fe7Ace Well, upsides assume downside. For example: you can make some armor very good at physical resistance, but that implies a weakness with other armor. Durability isn't a great suggestion, I admit, but there aren't many "generalized" upsides or downsides. One better idea, as an upside (opposed to dura), would be to make armor powered. It will have increased effect of whatever it's good at for the duration that it's powered, then have a reduced effect (but not entirely depleted), when the charge is gone. Similar to durability, but focused on positives.

For the algorithm!!

Honestly, the performance in 3.23 is amazing. Not really sure how I feel about MMs yet but the server performance (for me at least) is absolutely fantastic. BUT I will say that forgetting to switch to GUNS when trying to do anything is a massive pain in the ass, you cant deploy anything in NAV mode and that's very frustrating.
