In the latest update regarding Star Citizen, the host discusses the anticipated release of Alpha 4.0 and its likely delay until 2024. Despite previous expectations that it might still be released this year, recent developments indicate that some ships initially planned for 4.0 have been moved to the upcoming 3.24 patch. The host speculates that these ships, particularly the Zeus variants, will be featured during the upcoming CitizenCon event, which is only 44 days away. The expectation is that these ships will be showcased in a demo, similar to past events where new ships were highlighted.
The discussion also touches on the ongoing issues with the current version, Star Citizen 3.24. The host shares personal experiences of significant bugs and glitches within the game, such as being unable to spawn ships or sell commodities. These problems have rendered the gameplay experience frustrating, as the host describes being stuck in their hangar without any means to leave or engage in trade effectively. The issues are widespread, with many players reporting similar problems, leading to speculation about the need for a hotfix.
The host expresses hope that Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) will address these issues promptly. In particular, they mention the inability to sell commodities acquired through trading, which adds to the frustration of being unable to spawn ships. The host notes that they have spent considerable in-game currency on trading, only to find themselves unable to complete transactions due to persistent errors. This situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by players in the current game environment.
While the host remains optimistic about the future of Star Citizen, they emphasize the importance of CIG delivering on their promises regarding 4.0’s release. They even jokingly pledge to eat a bowl of stinky tofu on stream if the game does not meet its projected timeline. This humorous commitment underscores the host’s confidence in the developers and their belief that 4.0 will eventually be released, albeit later than initially hoped.
Finally, the host encourages viewers to subscribe for more Star Citizen content and to follow their Twitch channel for live updates. They also express gratitude to their patrons and YouTube members for their support. The video serves as both an update on the game’s current state and a call to action for the community to stay engaged with ongoing developments in the Star Citizen universe.
