Well, I've reached "Fuck It".

[Zookajoe]

So far every time I try to do a mission, make a cargo run, or just cruise around, something fucks up. Game crashes, controls lock up, suddenly I am pogoing around in Levski when I try to take off.

I have had it. Think I might have to walk away for a few, getting too damn stressful.

It's been happening to me as well. Just when I locate the Javelin wreck at Daymar and start to land, crash. Just when I come out of QT, I have no controls. I keep flying at the speed I was at before Quantum Jumping so I'm forced to exit the game. I just send that info to Issue Council with as much info as I can. Hang in there it's going to get ironed out.

Do what I do don't expect it to work, go in to the game expect it to crash and attack the problem with knowing every time you make it crash you can either make a issue council report or confirm one already posted or just go with the flow and make it crash again....

For every bug you have confirmed make it more likely that it get fixed sooner rather than later...
As I see it I don't fight the bugs the only thing that will do is to frustrate me and I get worked up over something I can not control and that is a lot of wasted energy.

So when ever I fell little stressed out .... I log out watch a good movie and relax little maybe play another game I like for couple hours..

And when getting back to SC I just expect it to crash that is what Alpha suppose to do, if it don't crash and bug out all the time it is not Alpha and we can start call it a Beta and that I already as most know, we're not even close to Beta yet so no need to get worked up when it misbehave.

CHEERS! :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beers::beers::beer::beers:

And a side note:
every time it don't crash it is so much better when you expected it to crash and it didn't

This reminds me of an image on our office wall:

There was this one time my coworker was on support duty over holidays. Whenever you answer a support call on vacation, that's $500 compensation. Needless to say, he pushed a new major version to prod as the last thing before we left office... that's just good business :laughing:

 

[Edgewise]

A new alpha build will probably take a week or more to get sorted out, not including time CIG programmers are on vacation. It's still in the 'hot mess' stage at this point.

They've been working on 3.0 for only a year. Give them 2-3 years more and they'll fix the basic stuff.

Considering the state this is in now, I would really hate to see the state it was in last June/July when they couldn't release it without polishing it.

Thanks guys, Test Squadron is one of the best group of folks around.

I was just frustrated, ALMOST had a good score, with diamonds of all things, that I found at a wreck site. Went to Levski to turn in the "black box" mission and then when trying to head to Olistar with my load of new found solvency, my ship went into "raging, thrashing, beast" mode when I tried to take off inside the Levski hanger. Had to exit out.

The calm, rational advice posted here has helped greatly.
As has the several shots of Knob Creek whiskey I got for Christmas.
Gotta love single malt.

Merry Christmas all!


UPDATE: Decided to log back in, found out that my ship and cargo were sitting safe at Levski, grabbed another ship (See kids? THIS is why you have multiple ships) and flew to Levski. Spawned the ship with my loot/cargo in it and flew it back to Olistar. Had to use the Spacebrake to be able to land at Oli, but I did and sold off my goods. I am now a happier Testie!

Are you saying making money is a cure for FukItAll?

 

[BadBestFriend]

This is why Star Citizen is like Schrödinger's cat. You both love it and hate it in equal measures and you never know what state it's going to be till you open the box. A lot of my time is just spent shouting "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"... And that's just for the good stuff. I won't tell you what I shout for the bad.

 

[Zookajoe]

Not really, more along the lines of being able to finish something I started. Hate, starting something and through no fault of my own, have it come crashing down.

Go for shorter simpler hauls on the same moon, far lower risk and same or better returns.

Glad it all worked out!

I find that playing SC is a lot like playing a slot machine...the frustrations just make me want to play more...usually it all works out, but yeah, OMG, it can get frustrating at times.

The "use a different ship" tactic has helped me out multiple times. So has the "try logging in on a different region server."

Thank god they fixed that Quantum Interdiction bug, I was really, really frustrated about that!

 

[Richard Bong]

I have finally, after much fighting with the fragging thing, completed my first mission. Note I am not talking about since it was released live, but since the PTU went to Subscribers. Then shortly thereafter I ran into the usual issues. Cargo disappearing on boarding so can't be delivered. Missions ending as I get there. Pirate turning green as I shot one of his engines off.

And who thought this interdiction nonsense was a good idea? Interdicted 3 times on my way between Olisar and Delamar. Seriously?

That just needs to go away.

 

[Sirus7264]

Give it time eventually the game will work remember this is alpha which is why im taking a break until i hear that its running smoothly enough to actually play. Also i want to upgrade to a computer that will run it better.(to bad you cant just upgrade a laptop's video card am i right?)

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

I am late to the party but i'm here now.

So, how do you land or take off without becoming a criminal? Because Olisar wants me to apologise.

 

[FZD]

So the moral of the story:
The solution was inside you all along.
If that doesn't make sense, consume alcohol till it does.

I like the way you think!

Don't know about taking off, but if you go to land anywhere there is a pad, you will need to get clearance.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and don't use my normal way of taking off. Full throttle, then realize you need to strafe up...who knew those antennae were so fragile?

Spawning a ship gives you permission to take off, to land, you:
1) Hold down F
2) Look for a screen that has a tab labeled SYSTEMS(upper left of screen), click on it.
3) I think there's 6 buttons there, look for the COMMS button and hit it
4) MAKE SURE YOUR LANDING GEAR IS DOWN, Look for the P.O. LANDING SERVICES entry, and click on the the "wireless" symbol. Watch the landing pads, yours will highlight with the familiar bright outline and vertical line. Get in position quick, or the P.O. ass hat will store your ship right out from under you. Once in position, you can hold down N to autoland.
