In the latest “Star Citizen Weekend Review” for January 6, 2025, host Salty Mike discusses the current state of the game and updates from the development team. After a quiet period leading up to the new year, some developers have returned to the studio, and a 4.0.1 Public Test Universe (PTU) patch is in the works. Salty Mike emphasizes that this video consolidates official Star Citizen news and shares his personal insights, encouraging viewers to engage with the content through comments and support options.
The patch 4.0.1 is significant as it aims to address numerous issues that have arisen since the launch of patch 4.0. Salty Mike reflects on the rushed release of 4.0, which was only operational for about three days before problems began to surface. He expresses optimism that the new leadership under Richard Tyrer may lead to a more efficient development process, suggesting that the team is poised to provide timely fixes and updates in the early part of the year.
During the week, there were reports of fixes for 60k errors and shard-lock issues that had been affecting players. Many users who were unable to play for extended periods found their accounts resolved, indicating that the development team is actively working on improving the game. However, Salty Mike humorously notes that he encountered a 60k error himself shortly after these fixes were implemented, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by players.
Looking ahead, Salty Mike anticipates more hotfixes and the PTU patch to be released soon, as more team members are expected to return to work. He emphasizes the importance of communication from the development team regarding their plans for the year, including roadmap updates and the state of missions in the game. Salty Mike encourages viewers to share their experiences with patch 4.0, fostering a community dialogue about the game’s current state.
In closing, Salty Mike expresses gratitude for the positive feedback from his audience and their engagement with the channel. He plans to create more valuable content, including a mining guide, and appreciates the constructive ideas shared by viewers in the comments.
