[All Waves PTU] Star Citizen Alpha 3.24.3 PTU.9395201 Patch Notes
New Global Event: “Save Stanton” Playtest!
Tonight on the 3.24.3 servers we will be running the first 3 phases of a new global event called Save Stanton!
This will start up shortly after the build has been released and run overnight with mission phases 1-3.
Features & Gameplay
Core Tech
- Dedicated Borderless Mode has been re-added to graphics settings to allow resolutions outside of monitor ratio (using 16:9 on a 32:9 monitor)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed - Front End - Core Tech - Graphics - Resolution / Upscaling / GPU / NVIDIA - While Vulkan is on, Enabling Nvidia DSR upscaling causes a bigger fullscreen window than the native monitor resolution (STARC-107329)
- Fixed - FPS - Bullets such as the grenade launcher projectile do not explode correctly on contact
Technical
- Fixed 1 Client Crash
- Fixed 7 Server Crashes
- Fixed 3 Hybrid Crashes
Much easier to see whether you’re GPU or main thread limited

MOTD Update
(Tysdagr) We are currently putting together a new 4.0 build for a timed Evocati playtest later today. Goal is to leave the build up longer and overnight.
ETF-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: Should be resolved in today’s 4.0 test:
Fixed - PU - Stanton / Pyro - Jump Points / Vehicles - Upon exiting Jump Point, player vehicle is launched at high velocity with player unable to slow before collision with objects
45min to new Evo build according to Waka. “loads of new loadouts and animations for NPCs in Orison and New Babbage so there’s a possibility one of those broke it but we’ll find out tomorrow”
(Orison is broken in the new build)
ETF-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: We’re tracking quite a few crashes that just started to happen on the build. Taking a bit longer than expected
Spectrum MOTD:
(Tuesday) 4.0 test today soulcrushed. We’ll try again soon as we get a publish window! <:salutmonpote:469565563732099083>
(Waka’s Day) We are currently putting together a new 4.0 build for a hopeful Evocati Playtest later today.
ETF-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: Just got the 30 minute heads up from the live qa team for 4.0. Hopefully in the next 45 min or so then!
ETF-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: intending to leave this build up overnight if stability allows
