In the latest video update on Star Citizen 4.0.1, Ryan, also known as Mac, discusses the recent patches that have introduced significant bug fixes to improve gameplay. He expresses gratitude to his patrons and channel members for their ongoing support. The most recent patch has addressed several frustrating issues for players, particularly concerning elevators, prisons, hangars, and V.I.P. interactions. Additionally, he mentions a sale on the Toby Tracker 5, which provides a discount for viewers who use his affiliate link.
The first build of the new patch, released on Wednesday evening, included multiple fixes for the Save Stanton Chapter 2 and made some enhancements to turret capabilities. Ryan notes the buffing of size six and ten turrets, which will enhance player protection in various locations. However, he raises a question about the decision to disable drop shadows on holographic ship MFDs, speculating that it could be related to readability or performance issues.
The video highlights 13 new potential bug fixes, including issues with audio bleeding from other players’ hangars, ship loadouts not saving, and problems with mission completions. Ryan shares his personal experience with a bug where turrets turn hostile after bumping into a party member’s vehicle. He also mentions fixes for client and server crashes, and provides an overview of known issues, emphasizing the severity of these problems as Cloud Imperium prepares for a live release.
In the second patch, which was released the following night, there were no new gameplay features, only bug fixes and backend improvements. Notable fixes included resolving issues with elevator malfunctions, players getting stuck in prison, and communication problems over V.I.P. channels. Ryan expresses hope that these fixes will effectively resolve longstanding issues and improve overall gameplay experience, especially regarding the critical blocker of storing vehicles in hangars.
Looking ahead, Ryan anticipates the possibility of a new patch that could address remaining critical bugs, particularly the blocker preventing vehicle storage. He encourages viewers to stay tuned for updates and discusses upcoming events, such as a free fly and referral bonus during the Red Festival, which would allow new players to try Star Citizen without any financial commitment. Ryan concludes by inviting viewers to subscribe to his channel, engage with his content, and participate in his live streams, while also promoting the Toby Tracker deal for those interested in head tracking technology.
