Please, CIG. I've resorted to playing the broken mess that is Elite Dangerous, JUST to tide me over. I......I need my space legs. Please let me use those space legs to walk around my starfarer......in space.
PTU 2.4 patch level T - will PU2.4 be released today?
- Thread starter AstroSam
- Start date
I tried to go back to Elite to get me by.. I just can't do it.. That game bores the hell out of me now. I've taken to playing BF4 and Rocket League. Those games don't even involve space!
The best time of your life is coming up. I think you said you already have a five year old, so you know what I'm talking about.
Ah yes, the sound of crying all around, the smell of poopy diapers in the air. Living the dream ;)
My little fella just started walking. I'm having a blast. Best job I ever had. ;)

An on we go - patch level R(!!) has launched:
Alpha Patch 2.4.0r has been released to the PTU, and is now available for players to test! During this initial testing phase, PTU access will be restricted to a small group of players that we will expand on over time as required.
Your launcher should show “2.4.0-362215” 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. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Test.
The full 2.4.0 Patch Notes are located here. Please 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.

Patch Level S
Important Callouts:
New Features
Star Systems:
Crusader
Bounty and Reputation System
One of the biggest features we’ve implemented in Alpha 2.4.0 is our first iteration of true server-side Persistence. Persistent databases are what allow us to store information on items, ships, questions, locations, and actions that a player has taken, such that they can return to exactly where they left off session-to-session. This is a huge step forward into the “Persistent” part of making the “Persistent Universe” the vast universe we all look forward to.
Important Callouts:
- Arena Commander has been disabled for this portion of testing.
- The keyboard, mouse and gamepad default keybindings have received a massive update to better unify controls between different peripherals and also between flight and FPS modes.
- The major highlights are listed in the UI section below. More detailed information will be coming in the near future, and in the interim, we strongly recommend that players review the keybindings in-game.
- We strongly encourage players to use the default keybindings during thePTU phase, so as to provide us with as much constructive feedback as possible regarding the changes.
- The Port Modification tool does not currently work in Crusader.
- However, modifying your ship in your hangar will allow the loadout to persist into other game modes.
- Additionally, the Port Modification tool has only limited access to ship parts at the moment, so modifying ship loadouts should not be a focus of testing in this initial push.
- Some of the Port Modification nodes in the Hangar are causing ships and flair items used in the node to disappear. This is a bug, and your ships and flair items are NOT permanently lost, only invisible.
- There is a high chance when loading into the Hangar that you will load into empty space.
- Reloading the Hangar will generally fix this.
- aUEC is sometimes resetting to a seemingly-random amount.
- There is missing geometry at far distances in the SelfLand hangar.
- FPS weapons are not dealing damage outside of interior physics grid ships.
New Features
Star Systems:
Crusader
- Port Olisar has been renovated. While some areas are still under construction, completed sections include an improved atrium and the opening of several new shops, including Casaba Shopping Outlet, Garrity Defence and Live Wire Weapons.
- Crusader Industries has made lockers available in both the EZ Hab rooms and near the Port Olisar airlocks, to allow pilots to change their clothing during long stops.
- If a player wishes to change their default civilian clothing, they will need to go to the shops in Port Olisar or ArcCorp and “Equip” items they have purchased.
- This is a very temporary implementation until we have a better equipment access system implemented.
- Characters now spawn into Port Olisar in their civilian clothing by default.
- Characters who exit Port Olisar in civilian clothing rather than a spacesuit will die.
- Respawning in Crusader now costs AUEC.
- The charges are only for deaths by “natural” causes (ship blown up, shot by FPS weapon, spaced in the airlock, ect).
- Characters are not charged for respawning if a user becomes stuck and has to use the respawn command.
- If a player does not have enough AUEC, they will still be able to respawn.
- New landing pads have been added to all of the Port Olisar struts to allow them to hold larger ships.
- The asteroid fields around Crusader have proven to be incredibly dangerous to shipping traffic after the veritable flood of pirates into the area.
- As a result, enterprising salvage-hungry pilots may find many more wrecks and valuables in need of recovery in the Yela asteroid fields then previously.
- Likewise those who are enlisted by Tessa Bannister out at the local ICCProbe Station to investigate the more remote asteroid pockets may also find the odd keepsake of the poor lost souls who perished.
- After months of construction, the Casaba Shopping Outlet has opened up on ArcCorp!
- Interested pilots can now purchase the latest fashions from around the frontier at affordable prices.
- Cubby Blast has also fixed the main sales computer, and is ready to sell eager pilots weapons and armor sets.
- Players can now select which of their available Hangars they wish to use from the Main Menu of the game!
- Inside of the “Options” menu, in the Game Options section, there is a drop-down menu that will allow players to select which Hangar they would like to use.
- This selection will persist between sessions.
- Players who change their default Hangar while still inside the Hangar will need to exit and re-enter the hangar to see it update in the game-client.
- The expansion bays for each Hangar are temporarily out of service.
- This is temporary while we rework certain aspects of the expansion bays to function alongside the Port Modification App.
- The VFG industrial central hangar is being expanded to allow owners of large ships to spawn craft in while the expansion bays are worked on.
- Likewise the Revel & York central hangar bay is now Extra-Large to allow owners of the Starfarer to spawn it in while the expansion bays are worked on.
- Hangar selections made via the RSI website will no longer work or be registered by the game client.
- The character load out selector has been removed from the Hangar.
- Characters now all load in with the same RSI space suit by default.
- New civilian clothing and armor can be obtained from ArcCorp and Port Olisar.
- Clothing can be equipped from the lockers on Port Olisar, or by interacting with previously-purchased items in ArcCorp.
- The Holotable has been removed from the Hangar… for now.
- Players will be able to modify their ships via the Port Modification App going forward.
Bounty and Reputation System
- Crusader Industries has identified a potential weakness in their criminal monitoring network at the understaffed Security Post Kareah.
- As a result, Crusader Industries has constructed a much improved security station, armory and are looking to contract reliable pilots in the area as security guards to help protect it.
- “Defenders” who repair enough Comm Array or ICC Probe missions will get offered a contract from Crusader Industries to protect Security Post Kareah from nefarious parties.
- Newly recruited security guards will receive a weapon from Crusader Industries armory, and will need to defend the station for 10 minutes without dying or allowing any criminals to breach the main security terminal.
- Security guards are authorized and encouraged to eliminate any trespassers that enter the station, with a 100 AUEC bonus instantly awarded per trespasser that is dispatched.
- Outlaws in Crusader will now receive a mission from mysterious allies to kill the new security guard at Security Post Kareah.
- Outlaws and Defenders in Crusader will receive missions to hunt one another in Crusader, with varying rewards.
- Defenders will lose their mission to hunt Outlaws if they are killed by an Outlaw.
- Outlaws who have a bounty on them can no longer be tracked via mobiGlas if they are outside monitored space.
- Both “Defender” and “Outlaw” missions award AUEC.
- Crusader Industries has tightened their monitoring on deactivating Comm Arrays.
- Deactivating a Comm Arrays can now take players all the way to Wanted Level 5.
- The timer for Outlaw Wanted Levels only counts down while the account is online on Crusader.
- Outlaws no longer receive a special loadout when they respawn.
- Instead Outlaws names will be in red on Augmented Reality when you approach them on foot, and they will appear as hostiles when targeted in space.
- Outlaws at Wanted Level 5 will no longer get kicked from the server when they are killed.
- Outlaw Wanted level will instead persist between sessions, until either enough active play time passes between criminal actions to return to a 0 Wanted level, or until the Outlaw takes actions to erase his wanted level via the Kareah security terminal.
- Each Outlaw Wanted level now persists for a number of hours (not minutes) equal to the rank of Wanted.
- Wanted level 1 persists for 1 hour, Wanted Level 2 persists for 2 hours, ect.
- Wanted Level 5 would persist for 5 hours. Going all the way from Wanted Level 5 to Wanted 0 without taking actions to decrease the Wanted level would take a total of 15 hours.
- The “Defender” reputation of a character on Crusader will persist between sessions.
- The “Defender” reputation of a player in Crusader is not currently displayed on the HUD.
- A players “Defender” reputation is permanent assuming no criminal actions are taken. Performing any criminal action will instantly erase any good reputation earned, and place them at Wanted Level 1.
- We have added a new currency type that can be earned in-game specifically for testing purposes – AlphaUEC.
- aUEC is currently awarded from performing both Outlaw and “Defender” missions in Crusader, and can also be earned by salvaging rare valuables in the asteroid fields around crusader.
- The Covalex PI Mission rewards more or less aUEC depending on the ending you receive.
- aUEC can be used to purchase items in both Port Olisar, Crusader and Area 18, ArcCorp.
- Every account will start with 2750 aUEC.
- aUEC can be tracked in-game via mobiGlas and will be periodically wiped as needed throughout the Star Citizen Alpha.
- Repairs, Restock, and Refuel in Crusader now cost aEUC.
- When a ship lands on a Cry-Astro pad, the mobiGlas of the pilot will open automatically to the Cry-Astro app and show the character which service they need and how much each one costs.
- The pilot can then select which ones they wish to purchase and then “Confirm” the service purchase.
- We have introduced the first iteration of the Shopping Experience to both Port Olisar and Area 18!
- Shopping is accessible through Augmented Reality.
- Mousing over any item you are interested in while in AR will give you the name, description and price of an item.
- It will also present you with two options – “Try on” or “Buy Now”, which users can toggle between via the mouse wheel or dpad down on Gamepad.
- Either option can then be selected via the standard “Interact” keybinding, which by default is via “F” on the keyboard or “Y” on the gamepad.
- “Try On” will bring up a dressing room preview of how the item looks.
- “Buy Now” will take you to the checkout screen, where you can confirm your purchase before it is delivered to your locker on Port Olisar.
- There is also a option called “Deliver To” that is greyed-out, pending implementation in a future iteration.
- If you already own an item, the UI will show “Equip” instead of “Buy Now”.
- Cubby Blast (ArcCorp), Live Wire Weapons and Garrity Defense (Port Olisar) offers all of our currently available weapons and 6 armor sets.
- Casaba Outlets offer civilian clothing in the form of hats, footwear, pants, shirts and jackets.
- The main Casaba Outlet store on ArcCorp has a much larger selection of attire.
- Items purchased via the shopping experience will also persist from session to session.
- Please note that throughout the alpha and beta of Star Citizen we will periodically wipe items back to a clean state status for further testing.
One of the biggest features we’ve implemented in Alpha 2.4.0 is our first iteration of true server-side Persistence. Persistent databases are what allow us to store information on items, ships, questions, locations, and actions that a player has taken, such that they can return to exactly where they left off session-to-session. This is a huge step forward into the “Persistent” part of making the “Persistent Universe” the vast universe we all look forward to.
- During this first iteration, the following items will now “Persist” on the database and be saved from session to session.
- aUEC
- Item Purchases
- Hangar Configurations
- Ship Loadouts
- Character Loadouts
- Crusader Reputation (Criminal and Defender)
- Ship Ammo and Missiles (Crusader only)
- Persistence from build to build will not be available at this point in testing. We are wiping the database with each deployment. Thus when a new build is published to PTU, your character’s persistent related information will be wiped clean.
- What is this? What does it do? What doesn’t it do! This handy application allows pilots from all over the ‘verse to directly modify the loadouts of their ships – just by looking at their ships and activating the appropriate nodes!
- This fun-filled new option is housed in mobiGlas and currently can be accessed by pressing the “home” key on your keyboard.
- Once the Port Modification App is activated, your AR vision will show you interaction points in both the Hangar and Ship where you can place flair items, ships and modify components.
- The Port Modification app works in both the Hangar and Crusader. Changes made in the Hangar will carry over to your Arena Commander Simulation sessions, and changes made in Crusader will carry on in the ‘verse from session to session.
- It also allows you to select what ships you wish to have in your Hangar without use of the RSI website, and allows you to select where and which Flair items you want to place!
- mobiGlas now shows both AUEC (Alpha UEC) and UEC in the top right corner of the main mobiGlas page.
- Augmented Reality is now on by default.
- It can still be toggled on and off with the F2 key.
- The MISC Reliant (Base) has been added as a Hangar-Ready ship.
- The Starfarer (Base) and the Starfarer Gemini are now flight-ready, and available for pilots to summon in Crusader.
- Ship health has received a balance pass across the board.
- Ships that will have seen an increase in health include the Mustang (All), 300i and Freelancer.
- Ships that will have seen a decrease in health include the Aurora (All), 325a, 315p, Hornet (all), Gladiator, Vanguard and Constellation Andromeda.
- Ship armor and shields are currently going through a review for rebalancing, and may experience adjustments during the 2.4.0 PTU process.
- A whole slew of animation changes have been made to support the new shopping experience.
- We have added a slew of new items from armor to civilian clothing that players can obtain and use through the Shopping experience.
- Our initial selection of civilian clothing includes five styles of jackets, three different shirt styles (in a wide variety of colors), six styles of pants (also in a wide range of colors), shoes and hats!
- We also have familiar Marine and Outlaw armors, flightsuits and the full assortment of FPS weapons.
- The keyboard, mouse and gamepad default keybindings have received a massive update to better unify controls between different peripherals and also between flight and FPS modes. Major changes include:
- mobiGlas is now on F1 on the Keyboard.
- Spacebrake is now on “Left ALt+ X” (Keyboard) and “LeftShoulder+B” (Gamepad).
- Exit ship/Exit seats is now on “Left Alt+F” (Keyboard) and “LeftShoulder+Y” (Gamepad).
- Cycle Countermeasure is now “G” (Keyboard), and “Dpad Down” (Gamepad).
- Launch Countermeasures is now Hold-“G” (Keyboard), Mouse Button 4, “RightShoulder” (Gamepad).
- Throttle Min/Thottle Max is now “Backspace” (Keyboard) as a toggle.
- Self-Destruct and Force Respawn are now by holding down “Right Alt + Backspace” (Keyboard), and “LeftShoulder + RightShoulder + B” (GamePad).
- The keybinding changes are very extensive. More detailed information will be coming in the near future, and in the interim, we strongly recommend that players review the keybindings in-game.
- We strongly encourage players to use the default keybindings during thePTU phase, so as to provide us with as much constructive feedback as possible regarding the changes.

You downloading it? Welcome to my patch PAIN! :eek:
If the download doesn't work, try to delete the complete PTU directory named "Test" (what a name :D). The download then should work. Don't forget to copy your PU account to PTU again - and make sure to copy your keyboard-/hotas layout.
Yes, Yes, Yes and YES! These were the most annoying bugs, and the last one - code 7 error - is definitely one major issue which now has been solved. Suggestion: PU 2.4 release this evening??
