Wee 4.0

[Bambooza]

So after a bit of a hiatus and have just recently finished stalker2 I've found myself updating and logging into sc.

While it is nice having persistent hangers it's amusing to see a little nox sitting alone in the middle of a giant xlarge pad that just came up from the void.

After an hour of playing around in the hanger figuring how to park the smaller ships so that they could remain to be loaded in bigger ships I proceed to head out of hurston in the Polaris. Only to have the game crash and the ship shown up as unknown. Over an hour reclaim count down ened that session.

The next day I spent far to long looking for the tractor beam module for the mulitool. Before attempting to load 9 boxes into a c2 before once again the game crashed.

While I expect the game to be buggy this seems to be rather extreme or it could be the servers on the west coast usa have been smashed all day and are puckered out

Your not wrong it is prerry darn unplayable.

It's kinda expected for such a big patch. I'm sure they'll break less for the 4.01!

I couldn't even log in for a few days with a 60k.

Then after that got resolved I had a 30009 error that hit, so no logging in for a couple more days until finally a character reset worked.

Yep, just a little buggy.

Because of all the stories I've heard about how bugged & glitched 4.0 has been so far, I've been choosing to TEST things out in the current live build, happily burning my built up aUEC while I have it to dispose of in Stanton.

The December build is, as usual, a completely shit build. It isn't just the crashes, but the inventory database is also complete shit.

Today wasn't so bad. While the server was laggy I was able to play for a few hours with out a crash. Ended up doing the stanton cargo mission twice. Hopefully this implementation of being able to move cargo around is just their tier0 as it's tedious even for just 10 boxes.

Well for me patch 4.0 has been pretty educational.

- I learned a lot from the documentations I watched while waiting to log in.
- I learned that if i place a gun (or a backpack or something) on the cargo grid of my Conny and then pick it up by hand I fall through the immediate ground beneath. Be that a planet or a landing pad.
(I blame the fact that the Conny's elevator and said ground are on the same plane)
I should park my Conny on top of a locked ship and check if that works too one of these days... :-)
- I learned how to find my quest targets without relying on a marker.
- I learned that I can farm Laser pointers on Hurston.
- I learned that just because it's a friendly bunker and you got that mission the turrets still might shoot you for trespassing.
So do the guards. (Woke up to that little problem in the back of my Nursa)

Well, IF the servers work and you are a hardened SC Alpha veteran then you can have some pretty decent fun.
A sensible and sane person should stay clear though of this bugs on parade festival.
Until Patch 4.03 or something.
