In the latest “Star Citizen Week in Review” hosted by Salty Mike, the focus is on the ongoing issues with patch 4.0 and the incremental updates provided throughout the week. Despite daily patches to the Public Test Universe (PTU), many players feel that the updates have not effectively resolved the existing problems within the game. Salty Mike discusses the confusion surrounding the recent sneak peek and expresses hope for clearer communication regarding future plans for the game. He emphasizes the importance of consolidating the week’s official news and sharing his personal insights with the community.
The video begins with a brief introduction and a shout-out to the sponsor, Mantis Sleep, which has provided helpful sleep accessories to the host. Salty Mike shares personal anecdotes about how Mantis Sleep products have alleviated stress headaches and sinus pressure in his household. Following the introduction, he dives into the patch updates, noting that while there have been several minor changes and bug fixes, many issues remain unresolved. He highlights specific changes, such as adjustments to ground collision mechanics and the reduction of turrets around asteroid bases, but expresses frustration with the overall effectiveness of these updates.
Salty Mike elaborates on the bugs and features addressed in the patches, noting that the personal cooldown on missions has negatively impacted gameplay. He mentions that while some bugs, like the purple ship despawning issue, have reportedly been fixed, players are still experiencing problems with mission functionality, particularly in the new “Save Stanton” missions. Additionally, he comments on the adjustments made to stealth components and the Mustang storage, expressing skepticism about the prioritization of certain bug fixes over more pressing issues in the game.
As the week progresses, Salty Mike details further updates, including the introduction of missile alerts and adjustments to turret behavior. However, he notes that many of the fixes promised in the patches are either incomplete or ineffective. He shares his own struggles with the “Save Stanton” missions, stating that he has been unable to progress due to ongoing bugs, and emphasizes the need for a more coherent mission structure. The frustration is palpable as he conveys the feeling of being stuck between wanting to see improvements in the PTU while also feeling disillusioned with the current state of the live build.
In conclusion, Salty Mike reflects on the overall lack of significant progress in the game despite the numerous patches released throughout the week. He expresses hope for the upcoming patch 4.0.1 but advises viewers to temper their expectations. The video ends with a call for community engagement, encouraging viewers to share their experiences and thoughts on the current state of “Star Citizen.” Salty Mike remains committed to reporting on the developments within the game and looks forward to potentially more fruitful updates in the future.
