Last night 3.0 play through was AWESOME

[Dorian Grey]

Last night was the most stable and event-less run I've had playing SC in YEARS.
After playing on the 24th with 4fps, on the 25th, FPS was steady at 15-28fps. I managed to play for 5 hours with only 3 minor incidents and one crash that needed a reboot.
I did 7 cargo runs that 5 were successful without having to either claim my ship due to not being able to click on anything on the ship, Had about 5 pirate encounters, 2 of those interdictions . 8 Planetary landings and some cash revenue!
Only issue i had ( i think it's key-bind related) is that I couldn't see or interact with the chat at all
I can't wait to play again tonight !

When chat does not appear, I hit F12, and then hit Enter and type something and hit Enter again, then it is up - has worked for me every time that Chat did not appear.

Might work for you.

thanks. Ill try that​

Nice to hear that you had a good experience.

 

[Montoya]

Its improving!

I think I must have gotten a fresh server, I logged in and got 60fps on my 970.

However, once I got near Daymar it dropped to 20fps, but its a good sign that things are getting better.

I had a great experience as well.

I did have one mobiglass glitch in the morning that dropped me from 88k aUEC to 8k, but was able to get over 1 mil before getting stuck on Levski with 600k in the cargo hold of my Caterpillar and being unable to take off.

At that point it was time to call it a night to do family activities.

 

[Dorian Grey]

I had a blast. It was a great sign imo

BTW. I haven't taken out the Lancer out for a stroll but with the Cutlass Black I was able to perform all aspects of the content well enough. Nice defensive capabilities and cargo. I'm liking it !

Yeah, my Cutlass has been a serious work horse.

Does well in combat too, worst fight I had was an interdiction pulled me into a fight against the following all at once:
Aurora
Cutlass
Caterpillar
Constellation

Was fun fight.
Auroras are hard to hit, but a string of hits devastates them.
While player Cutlasses are sturdy, pirate Cutlasses are easy to kill.
Caterpillars take a long time to rip shields off, and the hull absorbs a lot of damage.
Constellations roll a LOT and have a ton of modules on them, making it take a long time to pick them apart.

those FPS feel good

I too had a suspiciously good time in 3.0 last night... It seemed as if I was in a "broken" instance.. wouldn't let others join in with me.. a couple of people on Discord asked if it was running good for me saying that they could not join the instance I was in. The only major bug I encountered was "rubber banding" where I would take off from somewhere, be flying along, and the suddenly everything goes berserk and I am desperately trying to avoid a crash back where I took off from.

 

[Dorian Grey]

My server had about 15 people at Olisar and found quite a few at Levski

 

[Dorian Grey]

of course im not counting the NPC's rehearsing for a fitbit commercial running in place and what not :p lol

Had 2 great experiences today, both over an hour, no crashes and FPS consistently near 15 except at Port O, GH and Levski - BUT, I had playable FPS at Levski for the first time ever, and was able to buy and equip some weapons before filling the Penguin with diamonds for the return trip to Port O - now ready to take the Connie out a time or two to see how I can do.

Must say, I much prefer self-directed grindy trading runs to the paltry mission pay, especially since my FPS is a little too low for reliable combat flying/shooting. I am sure that this is in part why the mission pay is so low, a little social engineering to see who goes to the dark sied with the higher paying but not strictly up and up missions, and who seeks to become the Stanton System's Aristotle Socrates Onassis.

Much fun when reasonably stable and playable FPS, imagine when it takes big fractions of an hour to QD to other planets in Stanton or eventually jump from Stanton to other systems.

Definitely getting better.

I also had a pleasant experience today. Played about 3 hours, no crashes, no lockups, no wild gyrating of Cutty hips. Just smooth gameplay running 20-25 fps, with 25 being the norm. On one server, I logged in and was getting 55fps. Well, before others logged on, but it was a exhilarating first few minutes.

It is shaping up well, even for crotchety ole crumudgeons like myself.

Well mate, after reading what experience you had, i downloaded game too.
But couldn't even get out from my chamber after 30 min of game loading. So much laaaaags, i don't get why. Can somebody advice me, what can i do with that?

 

[Zookajoe]

I spoke too soon. Made a cargo run, had my Connie fully loaded. Over 100,000 cred worth of goods. Just as I reached Oli, had landing permission, approaching the green line...locked up my system. Luckily, I was taking a fellow Testie's advice. Always hold back a couple of thousand cred...

When I get that, I swap servers. Some are horrible, some are great. Just luck of the draw so far.

Exit the shard, when it is that bad it is likely close to full anyways. So if you leave, wait a few minutes (5 tops), then try again you should be sent to a fresh shard.

I'll try it! Thanks!
