Not for me it doesn't

[GeraldEvans]

Mass drivers or Omnisky?

[LGF]

The weapons on the Sabre are meant to stow for better stealth characteristics. Maybe once that's implemented this problem will be resolved.

Star Citizen Patch 2.2.0f

Alpha Patch 2.2.0f 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 “2.2.0-325794” as the client version. It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Test client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. TheUSER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Test.

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:

• Characters who die at Criminal Wanted level of 4 respawn without loadout.

• Fixed an issue where NPC’s in ArcCorp and Million Mile High Club were missing arms and hands.
• Added a second, heavier “Outlaw” loadout that players will respawn in, if they die as a Level 4 outlaw.

Game Systems:

• Fixed an issue where chunks of geometry in Broken Moon would become attached to a player ship and move around the map.
• Fixed an issue where “Wanted level” decay was not resetting when a new crime was committed.
• Fixed an issue where crashing your own Constellation Andromeda or Cutlass Black (without hitting other ships) would give a wanted level.

Ships:

I think they're getting really close to a push to live, I'd expect it sometime this week.

[Ceefuhs]

Have they gone to the 2nd wave of testers?

 

Cee

[Rellim]

I think it's close to live too. But if you look at the amount of people they've invited for this PTU, i'm not so sure. They havent invited any more people to PTU after the firstt wave in the first patch. they usually invite much bigger groups (if not all) before they go live  with it.

Hmm, maybe the bugs weren't that significant or troublesome? I hope it goes live soon! Would be great! A lot of people are looking forward to that bounty hunting addition.

So excited!

I had just downloaded G.

 

Wow.  lagging so hard in H I got nauseous.

It. Is. Friggin. Awesome.

How's the AT-4 laser rifle? Should have spawned back in your berth at Olisar after you got him.

I never actually got him

[GeraldEvans]

Boo! I thought you were human resources? Doesn't that mean turning humans into resources? [emoji14]

[LowZone]

I have had the good fortune to try out each iteration of PTU 2.2 since its release and it's been a lot of fun so far. The sabre is a very capable ship but I will reserve judgement until the stealth mechanics come into play. The new EVA mechanics are good and as of the latest patch it seems a major blocker (no helmet bug) has been fixed. The bounty/criminal system is also a very welcome addition. 

The only negative I have so far is the reward for the Covalex Shipping Hub mission being a new laser rifle - this only makes Covalex now an unbalanced pvp zone. Other than that and a few minor niggles I have no real complaints. With each update released being a big improvement on the previous one I am confident that it won't be too long before 2.2 goes live.

 

[Swiftsure]

I saw they upped the player/ship count to 24, any experiences with large fights? Can we expect it to carry over to live this time?

[GeraldEvans]

When is that awarded? Does it just instantly spawn on you?

Maybe it's their way oh trying to get people to test out zero G PVP?

Still too early to say. Without doing a roll call in local chat there is no way to tell if the server is approaching population capacity, but the various battles I have been involved in have seemed pretty stable so far.

It is found at the back of the last room in the mission. Usually the first person on the server gets the rifle and then just camps the area making it impossible for anyone else to even attempt the mission. Obviously it's a way of getting more people to try out the mission but  this could be achieved in better ways in my opinion.

[GeraldEvans]

I like the legibility @Trophias!  I don't like patching again. This many patches in we should have been to 2.3, right?
