In this Star Citizen 4.8 episode, Menx shares three helpful workarounds: using the “R” key to set routes when the map button fails, searching inventory items via the search bar to locate missing items, and customizing plus saving ship-specific camera views for better gameplay. He also invites viewers to support his channel and join his live streams on Twitch for more tips and community engagement.
In this episode of Star Citizen with Menx, three useful workarounds for the game’s current 4.8 version are shared to help players navigate some common issues. The first workaround addresses a problem with plotting routes on the map. If clicking the route button doesn’t work as expected, simply pressing the “R” key will successfully set a route, providing an easy alternative for players struggling with the map routing function.
The second tip focuses on inventory management, particularly when items don’t appear in the local inventory at terminals like the ASOP. Menx explains that sometimes items, such as flight suits or mined and refined materials, may not show up unless you use the search bar at the top of the inventory screen. By typing part of the item’s name, players can locate and manage their inventory items more effectively, which is a helpful workaround for what appears to be a current bug or interface quirk.
The final workaround is tailored mainly for players using the Ironclad ship and involves customizing and saving camera views. Menx demonstrates how to adjust the third-person camera using combinations of keys on the number pad—shift and slash to move backward, control for side to side, and command and alt for vertical movement. After setting the desired view, players can save it using a specific key combination, allowing quick recall of custom camera angles suited for different situations like landing or navigation.
Additionally, Menx notes that saved camera views are ship-specific, meaning players will need to configure and save views individually for each ship they use. This feature enables players to have multiple preset views tailored to different ships and scenarios, enhancing the gameplay experience by providing better situational awareness and convenience when piloting.
