My new PC is patiently waiting for the public release. Was really happy when I saw this post today. Can't wait to see this on the new 4k TV that's coming Monday :)

3.0 out today, what?! :O

What a pity that i wont get into for a quite some time, but at least due to lack of NDA i will have a lot to watch.

One thing is certain, this joke will got old first :p

I'm curious about the performance we'll get on this one. That's my main struggle at the moment, I want a smooth experience with a framerate as consistent as possible.
I just want to cruise around in my cutlass with some friends at a stable framerate, I'm a simple man.

Most likely not going to happen until they fix the server bottlenecks. If there is a way to get into an empty server like 2.6, you might be able to get the framerates you want.

It's too bad they don't just have a single player mode of Crusader. People were able to pull that off with some file and memory editing in previous patches and run through the mission content locally with great frame rates. Probably not so easy these days with the new persistent elements tying in server-side.

Is 3.0 out today for everyone, or on some separate test servers?

PTU invites were sent out. Just like the older releases it goes from Evocati to PTU then finally Live. PTU is not under NDA so that is why you are seeing alot of media and streams. Many org members will be invited to the PTU so there will be alot of info and media hitting the SC threads.

Really excited to jump back since being away for a year.

This is when I'll finally get a chance to see how things are coming together. Excited to try some cargo missions in my Freelancer finally, and some crew stuff in the Constellation.

Is keyboard+mouse still the only way to play combat though? Would suck not to be able to use my HOTAS.

A couple more things for the tech section:
New Filmic Tone Mapping Curve (ACES)
Temporal Supersampling (TSAA) - previously rendered frames are used to improve the anti-aliasing results on the new frame
Improved Screen Space Directional Occlusion (SSDO)

I had forgotten about the tone mapping change but helps explains why the lighting looks so much better in general.

So coooooooooool. Just waiting on the final release of 3.0 now, hoping it comes out before the year is done. Would be a nice Christmas present.

I just noticed on my golden ticket it says holders will receive a special equipment pack upon completion. Do we have any idea what this will be?

Lets leave DS out of this. He doesn't deserve any more exposure than he already gets, and he's only tangentially related to the topic at best. Anybody seriously confused about why he's being called trash can go look his history up. Keep the thread about the game itself.

uh, the guy is human trash for seeing bugs in his gameplay?
The guy in question, not related to any of those videos. Because he doesn't have an account and just love to stir shit. He's helping no one and is just looking for faults, check out who the (trash) guy first. Before defending.

but I did keep it about the game :(

If it has to do with DS, then it doesn't have to do with the game.

bugs in game = game :(

Derek Smart has already proven to have ulterior motives. Don't derail the thread by posting anything about him. He has a very colorful history that anyone here can simply google if they want to know about.

Just stop. There are plenty of other streams/threads/etc. to find people documenting bugs.

Found my first reproducible bug. Launch yourself out the solar system with it. Go to Yela and quantum inbetween the OMs. When you get to one that you need to quantum twice. You will fly for a long time and instantly run out of fuel.

I've lost 4 ships because of this bug. And you have to file a claim for your lost ships now. :D

How the hell long does it take to copy your account to the PTU? Been waiting like 15 minutes already ;___;

It should be instantaneous, unless they're having server issues. In this situation it might be worth pressing the button again.

Gaaah I've already pressed it again. Going to click Erase then try again.

EDIT: changed my email and that seemed to fix it.

Welp, I got to the menu once, changed the controls to a controller and the game crashed. Now it refuses to even load the main menu. Instant crash. Are there any quick fixes for this kind of thing? Rebooting and verifying files didn't help, neither did deleting game.cfg from the USER folder.

Try deleting the whole user folder.
I just closed the launcher, deleted the entire USER folder, then rebooted. Didn't help. Crashes before I get to the main menu every time.

This feels somehow appropriate.

I hope they like the crash reports I keep sending. I'm running the latest WHQL Nvidia drivers, BTW.

Let's just talk about the bugs then. Maybe add a quick description for the clips? Any specific ones you find important? Are the issues all reported?
That's your job I posted it to get your guy's thoughts on it considering I haven't got the ptu

Ive already stated the ship landing and dragon fly are a mess and so is the pop in and the npc jogging in place is funny

Is it normal for content verification to finish in a matter of seconds? Feels like it's not rigorously checking for data consistency. Maybe I could try reinstalling, SIGH.
