I couldn't even get through the basic tutorial, this game got so many bugs. You'd think shooting training droids with heat seeking missiles would be "tutorial-easy" in the tutorial , but alas, seems like missiles can't hit the droids...so that didn't give me a good impression...and then you run out of missiles and basically game over? Man.

Also, why do they plonk you in your hangar and don't tell you you can't actually fly the ship standing right there? Took me alot of searching to figure out i have to use the simulator standing in the corner..... it's like they don't want me to actually test things

I downloaded the game over several days last week, but haven't played yet. Just checked, there is not patch for me either.

Did you install the game using the new launcher? Or do you still launch using the old one?

Still maintain that unless you're serious about doing some bug testing, downloading SC now is going to be a frustrating waste of your time and a waste of tons of bandwidth.

Public players are still only able to access Alpha 1.3. The invites that are being sent out are for Alpha 2.0, but only for use in the Persistent Test Universe (the PTU). They are presently pushing out version 2.0.0H - i.e. the 8th patch for the 2.0 test build - and that's in a little over a week since 2.0A was released. Patching is still not fully incremental - 30+GB downloads are common. You'll get close to completing a download of v.H and have the whole thing restart because they've release v. I in the meantime.

Part of the reason that folk (like [MENTION=385]diabolus[/MENTION]) are having little joy outside of the PTU testers in 2.0 is that they are seeing Star Citizen 1.3 which has had no development updates for quite a while now as all the work has been going into 2.0

I still endorse the "patience my young padawan" approach - give it a few more weeks for a stable public release of 2.0 to be made, then get those downloads rolling.

Yep, have to agree with this. Stay away from Star Citizen unless you expect a very bumpy very buggy experience.

I don't think the old launcher is working anymore.

Ah oky. Strange then that it wants you to basically redownload the game. I downloaded it to have a look at it again, haven't played/tried it since the initial release of the Arena Commander module.
However I won't play it for hours on end in its current state, I will wait for full release. Will probably play S42 first and then get into Star Citizen.

That's how Star Citizen patches... This is probably the 3rd of 4th time that I've had to download upwards of 30GB. It's completely ridiculous. I think the most reasonable explanation for this patch is that I now have access to the PTU test which the rest of you don't necessarily have yet.

My understanding was that the new launcher would fix that issue, where an update required basically a complete game re-download. With the new launcher it would only download the required files.

Also I have access to the PTU, but I haven't moved my account over to it. So maybe it is that?

I also haven't moved my account across to it. I don't have anything on my account and have hardly played at all.
