One day, you may come to the realisation that each major update is not necessarily going to fix all the problems of the previous patch, but are, in fact, intended to be a delivery system for adding new content (however superfluous). And yes, these features added in new patches may even introduce game breaking bugs prior to optimisation but are necessary for the game to be developed. I agree with others that 3.1 could have used a little more time on the PTU before release, but remember, we are playing testing this game at a stage where most AAA titles would not even be publicly announced. Of all the intended features in the final game, we have currently 10-20% at best? There is a looong way to go yet. I just hope CIG doesn't succumb to pressure and actually does things right rather than on time. In short, you may want to stay away for a little longer than a week if you want to be able to play the game crash-free. Otherwise, support development by play-testing the game, expecting to crash every 5 minutes (never risking more than you can afford to lose) and report those bugs/crashes!

If there is no exit as an option, just use the keyboard shortcut: I think it's "H" (useful for getting out of beds and cockpit seats in a hurry). And yes, the upper turret is disabled atm as per patch notes (It was just too glitchy in the PTU)

At least beacons are working now...

As per known issues listed in the launcher - Error 40014 Client-side crash: Wait 10 mins and relaunch.

I have to say I'm enjoying 3.1 right now. A lot of people have been impressed by the big changes like the Cyclone and Reclaimer, but for me, it's the smaller details like inverse kinematics, player beacons or even character customisation that really stand out. Performance-wise it's much the same as 3.0 on my system but from my experience things tend to improve going from PTU to live anyways. We will all find out next week hopefully!

Yeah. Had the same problem but you can still get in the usual way (look down to see interactive prompt). The vehicle then rises to the correct level once you get in.

Servers haven't quite been stable enough for me to make it planetside without crashing, so spent much of the time doing donuts in my hangar. Fun times!

I've been scoping out the Daymar Rally route in anticipation of the big race next year. Can't wait to see which variant of the Cyclone I will be rolling with.

PTU Access was promoted as a Subscriber/Concierge perk for 2018, I don't think it will go away anytime soon. They will still need a way to release each new version to the masses in waves to stress test the servers. The numbers involved in Evocati testing alone is not enough for this, hence PTU phase is very much essential IMO.

Congrats. Just remember that all that effort to earn credits will be wiped out when the next version of the Alpha is released at the end of the month. There's also no guarantee that an effective earning method now will be as effective when 3.1 goes live. The key is to keep up with new developments, be adaptable to the ever-changing game environment and not be too frustrated at losing credits due to circumstances beyond your control.

Finally got a chance to see this gem of a movie. I got some serious 2001: A Space Odyssey vibes towards the end and I can't really go into detail about what I liked most without giving away spoilers but many thanks for the heads up!

Operation Pitchforklift has begun...

Finally a vehicle I'm not in a hurry to own...although if it comes with LTI, alternative skins, ability to equip S3 weapons, a Quantum Drive and ejector seat and I may be tempted.

Great video. Have to admit that was the funniest and most Star Marine realistic gunfight I have ever seen!
