PTU 2.2

[GeraldEvans]

I can't get more than five minutes in without a crash. Broken textures, Sabre won't jump, floors missing, etc.

Damn it GE, we need those map coordinates!

Joking of course (kinda).

 

Still waiting for my access though...

You are not missing much

Has anyone had a look at the damage states for the Freelancer yet? I'm curious to see what can break off.

This is what D looks like on the inside from the outside of the airlock.

Thanks Gerald! I was specifically referring to the below, although having thought a little about it that's probably just sparks and smoke for the interior.

[GeraldEvans]

Ah, sorry.  I don't have one and the only loaner for 2.2 is the Sabre.

 

[LGF]

I'd go and look myself of my net were able to download the PTU faster than they patch it.

[GeraldEvans]

Could you guys verify this?

"Freelancer turret can be entered from the outside."  It's about to expire without reaching the threshold.

• Fixed an issue that was allowing Star Marine to show up as active to players in the Electronic Access menu. 

I missed this? Nooooo!

Lol and we had so much hope for it! But it was one of the possible expected lines in the patch notes. Yet so unfair! I had really high hopes! 
I guess the bounty system feature was what was truly ready and not SM over the SF :'( 
Ah well! It is an Alpha! They have all the powers  

[GeraldEvans]

I give you, some Khartu love:

Star Citizen Patch 2.2.0b

Alpha Patch 2.2.0b has been released to PTU and is now available for player testing. During this initial testing phase, PTU access will be restricted to a small group of players that we will expand on over time. We have also increased the maximum number of players per instance of Crusader from 16 to 24 on the PTU so that we can gather performance data.

Your launcher should show “2.2.0-324226” as the client version. It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Public client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USERfolder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Public.

Please review our current list of 2.2.0 PTU Known Issues FAQ, and take full advantage of our Issue Council area of the Community site to report any bugs you encounter, as well as contribute to other players submissions.

Important Issues:

• The Klaus & Werner ATT4 energy rifle is not currently being awarded to players that kill a Level 5 Criminal.
• Using the Holotable in the Revel & York hangar will cause the game client to become unresponsive.
• EVA’ing back into a ship with interior physics is having issues such as permanent ragdoll and death.
  • We highly recommend using a ship with a cockpit if you have one available, or using the test Sabre.

Updates and Fixes

Star Systems:

• Fixed an issue where the audio for activating/deactivating a Comms Array could be heard across the solar system.
• Fixed an issue where players would become stuck in their bedroom upon spawning into Crusader.
• Increased quantity of asteroids in Yela.

Game Systems:

• Player will now be kicked from server if they have a criminal level of 5 and kill themselves.
• Fixed an issue where passengers in a non-multicrew ship were being ejected when ship went into quantum travel.
• Fixed an issue where the player hostility respawn timer would freeze if the players wanted level was reduced before the timer finished.
• Fixed a collision issue where players could potentially clip through solid objects.
• Fixed an issue where the FPS weapon targeting reticle would stop displaying while in EVA mode.

Ships:

• Fixed an issue where entering a ship with interior physics via EVA had a high chance of killing the player.
• Fixed an issue where there was too much glare on the Sabre Cockpit window.
• Fixed an issue where killing a Sabre in Arena Commander was not giving kill credit.
• Fixed an issue where the Constellation missile pods could be mounted on any ship.
• Fixed an issue where the pilot would be stuck in their seat if the copilot exited their seat in the Cutlass first.

First Person:

• Fixed an issue in the Holotable where cooler hardpoints were not displaying correctly for multiple ships, including the Mustang series, Aurora series and the Super Hornet.
• Fixed an issue where the P4-AR was showing up with “Replaceme” textures from any other perspective.

User Interface:

• Fixed an issue where the UI was not updating correctly when a Comms Array was enabled/disabled.
• Fixed an issue where quest notification text would not go away in AR (F10).

Technical:

• Fixed several client crashes.
• Fixed several server crashes.

Sweet. No gaming the system. Plus 24 in a instance. I was wondering why I spawned on B.

Its pretty much what I was rolling with in my Freelancer... but at least with the sabre, you don't have such a large rear end ;-)

[Drum]

Skipped out completely on this 2.2 PTU. Only for the hardcore dedicated players with an uber fast internet lol It's almost a requirement to have gigabit-like internet for Star Citizen. Unfortunately 90%, or maybe even more, are not in that category. 

[GeraldEvans]

You just need to copy the live build to your TEST folder. Less to download

Idk about that... Yes it's less, but even going from PTU 2.1 to PU 2.1 It still took me about an hour to replace or add files. This is where I caution anyone using an SSD.

Constantly installing and deleting files on an SSD will kill it, as mine is already getting very slow. If you value the performance of your SSD, do not participate in the PTU.

[Drengarblar]

Lots of greats changes. I'm really happy about the Crusader scaling and I can't wait to see it! They did mention they were going to make the planets bigger but I didn't see it in the patch notes. Maybe later?

Also congratulation to all the Sabre pilots! You folks must be so happy that its flight ready

Really? I guess this really belongs in hardware, but am i going to need a new SSD for SC at this rate?

[Donut]

Well, hardware/PTU. It should be its own thread but I thought anyone looking up PTU concerns won't be looking in the hardware subforum and instead in this active thread about the current PTU, if that makes sense to you.

I like the PTU patches. Those are the solid proof how hard CIG is working on bugfixes whenever they are confronted with some.

By the way how is the new distance between the planets and so on? They seem to have adapted all these things.
