Patch Notes:

Star Citizen Patch 2.2.0c
Alpha Patch 2.2.0c 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 “2.2.0-234858” 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 USER folder 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 appearing somewhat untextured in-game.
• The Klaus & Werner ATT4 energy rifle is being awarded to all players on the server.
• Using the Holotable in the Revel & York hangar will cause the game client to become unresponsive.
• The Gemini LH-86 Combustion Pistol cannot be picked up from players bedroom.
  • When attempting to pick up the Gemini LH-86 Combustion Pistol, the players arm animation twists in a weird angle.
  • When the pickup animation is complete, the pistol will remain floating at waist level next to the character.

I guess they send an email letting us know if we get an invite?

 

[Lienna]

Yeah they send an email when you have an invite.

I got some time today, went to port olisar, played the "make the pistol float" game for a while with the pistol they added to the bedroom, then jumped into my vanguard, flew out of the safe zone and tested my guns. Shot myself over and over due to the ballistic Gatling firing in random directions, died.

10/10 would TEST again!

So I did. This time spawning a Sabre, got into it, took off and turned left.

Died

11/10!

PTU is buggy, but hey, much better than 2.0 PTU which was hellish. Just keep reporting people!

People were already screaming bloody murder that the Sabre wasn't going to be nimble and it's worse than the Vanguard. Also, that when you divert power from engines you can't move hardly at all.

They really need to understand the term Alpha. And on top of that, Testing in Alpha!

Makes me nervous just to want to read the RSI site for info.

I am enjoying the Sabre so far. Once it goes to live and I can equip it with weapons from the REC store it will be much better. They did a much better job with this Aegis out the gate compared to the last one. To this point I am pleased with the continued progress.
