So, there is a new 3.0 test build, and they just opened the PTU to all backers.So if you've ever paid anything for Star Citizen you can help test 3.0 now!
I'm downloading it right now on my slow ass rural Internet.

Squeegee gifted it to me, but I did pay for a skin, and will be buying an extra ship soon, so I am going to pay for star citizen.

@previous (H)why should i? what are you offering. Brie is my Quartermaster, i'm not sure you can handle the responsibility that comes with a squeegee gift.

@843,837 (brie !iFDoautiSM)i got a few screen shots. performance is definitely in the shitter right now, best i got was around 20, but spent most of the time at 15. seemed to get better over time up to a point. i tried to do a mission and it bugged halfway. got to this point, running drugs most likely. this is a dead drop and i'm loading it up to run over to levski.

i was able to pick up the box and carry it over to the ship, and when i tried to set it down it bugged and i think glitched through the geometry and fell towards the core of the moon. not real sure. maybe just fell through the floor, but i couldn't find it again.squeegee quadruple-posted this 8 years ago, 8 minutes later, 7 hours after the original post[^] [v] #843,849
went ahead and left yela and headed for Levski on Daymar, just to see it. nailed a perfect landing through the roof of the hangar. i'll say this, ships instrumentation needs major, major work. the "navball" is pretty useless if you can even call it that, and the flight director on the primary flight display gets all fucked after leaving atmosphere and then reentering, and it doesn't actually have an apparent artificial horizon so it's kinda hard to tell when you're flying level. maybe it's just fucked on the cutlass, but there's a real lack of information when it comes to your orientation in atmosphere. levski is pretty great though, loved the approach. it's on cellin i think and it's got a thin atmosphere, i had to flip a 180 and do a full afterburner retroburn to not overshoot by 50km. good stuff. next time the approach should probably more safely be made at 50% throttle from a few hundred miles out, but even then slowing down is rough.

@843,850 (I)that sucks :/ the Squadron 42 vertical slice they showed today looks like it'll be worth it though. it's great to see how much they have working, the major stuff is working. the object container streaming, the interaction system, subsumtion AI, zoning, nested physics grids, seamless transitions, fucking ladders, i mean everything went off with relatively minor issues even being noticeable. shaky landing gears, lag spikes, mediocre performance, lack of polish.
but the core of it is there, the only real challenge left imo is getting performance where it needs to be for a AAA title.
unfortunately the PTU build still has some show stoppers. i was able to get into the Graycat buggy, but that was it. after that i was stuck and couldn't get out or even drive. had to just log out. so, i think we're still not super close to a release. not in 2018 i don't think. maybe for SQ42, maybe... but probably not.

ive had the PTU for a bit so i've just been getting little updates when i log in, which has only been a couple of times. and i think it still works to change the name of the PTU file directory to i think LIVE and it's good to launch. new launcher too, so idk, i may not have to. but when i installed 3.0ptu i did do a fresh download.

@843,847 (squeegee)Nice screenshots. Let me show you how far I got.
After waiting at a black screen for over 5 minutes, I woke up in bed. Got out of bed.

Then, I tried to leave the room, but this door wouldn't open for the life of me. All at 3-20 fps.

not sure what's up with loading, it's better than it was a few weeks ago but it's still taking forever. i think there's also a bunch of errors when loading in, if you hit the ~ key it'll bring up the console and see what being loaded. it'll actually fail to load character loadouts 8 times, then it works after another minute or two. and performance is still shit, i've got 32gb of ram in a fairly beefy machine and the best i got was around 20, but most of the time it sat around 15ish. but was the worst for the first minute or two.
so it's not like it's your computer that's having issues, performance is just bad for everyone atm. and they're going live with it, which means the servers are getting smacked really hard. the more data they collect from this though should help identify where the performance problems are.
and i've gotten locked in the spawn room too, and actually you need to be using the new interaction system if you aren't already. instead of just hitting F to interact you HOLD F and it brings up a mouse cursor and you click on the thing you want to do, like the door panel to open the door. things you can interact with are highlighted and change color when you hold F and look at them. but if that doesn't work then you gotta relog. you should be able to get out of that room.
