3.24.1 build greenlit
Star Citizen Alpha 3.24.1 PTU.9315193 Patch Notes
Audience: Open PTU
Testing/Feedback Focus
- Stability and Bugfixes
- Argo ATLS (Only Evocati Members will be able to spawn these in today’s PTU but they are not under NDA so find your local Evo!)
Features and Gameplay
Gameplay
- Vehicle Terminal Scrollbar Will Now Stay in Position When Swapping Screens to Deliver and Claim
Ships and Vehicles
- Argo Astronautics ATLS Suit (Currently spawnable only by Evocati Testers)
The player can retrieve their ATLS via the Instanced Hangar ASOP Terminal. The suit cannot be retrieved via Spaceport ASOP terminals, or ground vehicle ASOP terminals.
The ATLS has its own bespoke tractor beam, that acts differently to the handheld GRIN Tractor beams, and the Tractor Beam found on vehicles.
Rather than picking an item up at the point where the beam hits its target, the beam will pull the tethered item towards the player, holding it above the ATLS, whilst the player moves the placement preview. Upon placing the preview, the item will then move to the placement location. The player can also reset the rotation of the preview by pressing < MMB >```

- Fixed an Intel 13/14th gen Specific Client Crash

Spectrum MOTD:
(Thursday) Here we go! 2 goals for today:
- 1. We have a new 3.24.1 PTU build that is a LIVE RC for Friday that will be opening up on PTU in the next couple of hours.
- 2. We have a new TECH-PREVIEW build that has been in testing for multiple days for an All Backers RMQ/Meshing test starting this afternoon and running for up to 24 hours to test meshes from as low as 100 players and up to 1000
Wakapedia-CIG:
We already have both builds being tested. Hopefully both will be out sometime in the next 2-3 hours
RMQ Meshing Playtest Round #3
Access Level: All Waves
Channel: TECH-PREVIEW
Primary Build: 3.24-tp-9322699
Duration: Up to 24 Hours (less if blocking issues occur)
Starting DGS: Player Cap: 1:100, increasing to 3:500 and possibly 6:1000
Test Instructions
This test will have each Stanton shard split into many authoritative zones. We are planning to start the test out at 1 DGS with 100 players as a baseline and increase this to add more DGS with 500 and then as high as 1000 players
This test will run on the latest 3.24 branch in the Stanton system with Replication Message Queue (RMQ) and Static Meshing and we’ll be attempting to increase the player cap as we progress to limit test.
We will be doing many server captures over the length of the test to gather performance data.
Known Issues
Currently, R&R Station elevators will teleport players back inside the station when attempting to use them. Landing zones and LEOs are unaffected. Avoid R&R as this will cause you to get stuck until you “fast travel” back to a medical facility.
- Missions are disabled and will not be offered
- After death you may immediately die again in the hospital bed but should revive correctly the second time
- Lagrange point R&R (CRU-L1, HUR-L1, Pyro Gateway, etc.) elevators are not working, other stations are not affected
- Because of the above issue, we strongly recommend against making clinics at R&R stations your respawn point
- We have had some reports of longer than normal loading times, if you encounter this please let us know the details
- Global Chat does not function
“Thank you all so much for your help in testing these new and exciting tech updates!” Leave your comments and Issue Council bug reports under this Spectrum post.
