  • Alpha 4.8 Evocati Patch Notes for 11721630

    • VMA will now only display vehicles stored at the current player’s location, regardless if you are the owner of the vehicles.

    This sounds like players can now loan their ships out to others as long as they don't claim them for some time.

    From reading into "bricked" vehicles before, they're able to do this because they were able to mark and track modules themselves. I'm wondering if a bricked ship can be revived by just swapping out the bad modules with some fresh ones.

    That could potentially allow players to hold onto ships longer, as long as they swap out the components, and the ship isn't destroyed.

  • CIG Data Breach 2026-01-21

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was thinking the same thing especially when I saw the wording, "we do not anticipate that this incident will have any impact on our users."

    If that data is sold, there's a potential for griefers to take things to the next level.

    Any famous streamers would also be prime targets.

    And then there's the social engineering side to trying to access someone else's account.

    At the very least I use a unique email address/alias for my account. So, I've added that to HaveIBeenPwned's notification system to alert me if anything turns up. That and I'll probably rotate that alias out for a different one now.

  • Ashes of Creation Implodes, Could Star Citizen be Next?

    Jump

  • For me, I think we'll be okay in the short term given what last year's funding looked like.

    Long term, there could be issues. They have large teams and burn through a lot of funding quickly. They did downsize a bit when they closed the Los Angeles office, so that should help a bit.

    That 2028 date will be key since CIG will need to have saved up enough to be able to buy back any shares that the investors want to sell by that time.

    To really future proof this project, I'm hoping that they start working on private servers soon after the 1.0 release. This would help guarantee that the game can continue running (even if that's in a limited form) long after the official servers have shut down.

  • Star Citizen | Alpha 4.6: Lifeline for Levski

    Jump

  • They fixed an issue where doors would get stuck open/closed in Contested Zones/ASD sites. See https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-190305

    The game felt stable for me last night, but I was mostly hanging out around Nyx. Overall stability has improved a ton over the last year. I'm sure the freight elevators are getting stressed again with the event, I haven't attempted any of those missions just yet.

    One thing to note, a lot of players have lost their entire item inventory (including hangar items). Nicou-CIG has mentioned that this is their current #1 priority, so I expect to see this fixed soon.

    The crafting machine is confirmed as one of the rewards for completing the 4.6 event missions, as well as some tools, clothing, armor, ship paints, and ship weapons. See the post from a few days ago with the quick finish guide for the specifics: https://lemmy.world/post/42259486

    Jump

  • My saved characters stuck around, but I also have the files for them backed up in case anything is lost in an update.

    The files are located under '.../LIVE/user/client/0/customcharacters/' So if you did anything like deleting your user folder, or using the launcher's "Manage Local Settings" feature to clear out data, then they could have been deleted that way.

  • Woah, Woah, Woah, did I just hear Jared mention that they're bringing the Electro Hull Paint to 4.6????

    Question is, will that paint still allow us to change colors midflight?

  • LAMP On Helmet Visor Is Intended Later On

    Jump

  • I definitely agree with the decision here to implement LAMP on ship glass. It looks awesome to open the canopy on a ship and still see the effect.

    I also want it for helmet visors, but I do want there to be a path for people to be able to enjoy flying around wearing regular clothes as well.

  • 4.5.0 Hotfix (12.19.25)

    Jump

  • Yeah, for now using Experimental Wine Wayland has fixed this for me.

    I also had to make sure to add the --in-process-GPU argument to fix my launcher from being all white.

    And then there was the user.cfg override by going with 2 pixels less on the height to fix the occasional black screen issue with any full screen effects.
