Wakapedia-CIG: Ahmed and Bault have found most of the issues blocking missions and should have fixes in place now. We’re keeping an eye on it today to make sure it keeps going
Wakapedia-CIG: Proxus escalated the Luminalia issue to turbulent to investigate

EDIT:
Wakapedia-CIG: We turned off hangar spawn for now. If you are from a corrupted hangar on a shard, try a character repair now Access denied - Roberts Space Industries | Follow the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42

2024-12-26 0530 UTC - We’ve begun rolling out a Hotfix to mitigate the leading Hybrid crash. This should greatly reduce the chances of encountering a black screen.

(Mánadagr) Goals for the Week
We are currently working through many bugfix and QOL updates to roll into a new 4.0.1 build that we are intending on releasing to PTU by as early as Thursday/Friday this week.
At this time, 4.0.0 is locked down to hotfixes only. We have rolled out quite a few during the holiday break and may have more while working through the next PTU phases with 4.0.1
Hi Testers!
Team is starting the roll out of a new hotfix 9476145 to game servers and hybrids on the 4.0 preview environment.
- Game server crash fix in reputation management as player join/leave shards rapidly.
- A few exploit fixes related to the repair flow and item duplication with some specific vehicles.
- Creation and management of shard chat should now be more reliable even after a hybrid restart. (This one will be slow to roll out to all shards)
Spectrum MOTD:
(Thursday) We are currently putting together a first 4.0.1 build for release onto the PTU channel for all backers later today.
SC-Testing-Chat - Wakapedia-CIG:
There’s over 100 notable Blocker/Crit/High marked fixes going into today’s build compared to 4.0.0
SC-Testing-Chat - Wakapedia-CIG:
Hangar spawning will also be re-enabled for 4.0.1
**Also a reminder, we are back on the PTU channel instead of EPTU. Definitely copy your 4.0 live folder and rename to PTU for this build **
I’m estimating it will be another 6 hours before the build drops. Could be more if issues require work
SC-Testing-Chat - Wakapedia-CIG:
24 different checkins for Contested Zone performance optimizations. They’ve been doing work and more to come!
SC-Testing-Chat - Wakapedia-CIG:
We are not wiping progress for 4.0.1 at this point. If that changes we’ll let you know closer to release.
It will be a standard LTP remake though
Spectrum MOTD-UPDATE:
(Thor’s Day) We are currently putting together a first 4.0.1 build for release onto the PTU channel for all backers later today!
Starting last night we rolled out a hybrid fixes onto 4.0_PREVIEW to repair/claim restoring custom loadouts. This is currently on some meshes but rolling out slowly as hybrids get refreshed.
[PTU Playtest] With Tonight’s 4.0.1 release, we want to run a quick stress test to make sure a bug fix is working. For the 1st hour after the build releases we would like everyone to spawn in Area18 to test a fix for overlapping hangars.
sc-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG:
For tonight’s 4.0.1 build, make sure you don’t install clean and update from 4.0 PREVIEW or you will most likely hit a client crash on launch.
basically make sure to do the folder rename trick and don’t install from scratch
@GeneralNews pinging because important
