In this video, Ryan, also known as Mac, shares the latest updates on Star Citizen. This week’s official content schedule includes a new Galactapedia update for lore enthusiasts and an episode of Inside Star Citizen dedicated to the features of Alpha 3.23. The upcoming release of Alpha 3.23 brings exciting improvements to the EVA mechanics and personal interaction system, enhancing the way players interact and navigate the game world. Additionally, a “This Month in Star Citizen” post will shed more light on what to expect from each month. The Friday episode of Star Citizen Live will discuss the broad scope of work for the next patch, providing further information on Alpha 3.23 features before the first roadmap update on February 7th.
The much-anticipated Alpha 3.23 is on the verge of entering the Evocati testing phase. The Evocati, a group of hand-selected backers under a non-disclosure agreement, will test and report bugs for the early builds of the game. A 3.23 build was assessed for stability testing, but issues outside of the build delayed its release. However, if all goes well, the build will be released to the Evocati soon. This marks an exciting milestone as it will be the first build of the year and sets the stage for subsequent waves of testing and improvements.
The Tech Preview Channel recently conducted a replication layer and server crash recovery test. The server crash recovery process worked as intended, allowing players to continue seamlessly after a short interruption. Cloud Imperium has gathered valuable data from this test and will use it to make improvements for future playtests. Concerns about the time it takes to recover from a server crash were addressed, with the explanation that the delay is primarily due to waiting for a full error dump report on failing dedicated game servers. However, this delay will be significantly reduced in the future, making the recovery process almost instant.
Mac also shares his plans for the week, including creating a video on his expectations for Alpha 3.23 features, covering the “This Month in Star Citizen” post, and resuming his series, Zero to Hero. He will also be streaming on Twitch, discussing the latest news and playing Alpha 3.22. The video concludes with Mac expressing his excitement for the upcoming releases and thanking his subscribers and supporters for their continued engagement.
Overall, this week in Star Citizen is filled with exciting updates, including the upcoming release of Alpha 3.23, the start of Evocati testing, successful server crash recovery tests, and the continuation of Mac’s content creation and streaming activities.
