CSC Alpha 0.5.43
Hi Commanders!
0.5.43 is now live! Has many fixes but most critically the MMO server should properly sync players in all cases. Please let us know as you play if you have instances of not seeing another commander you know is there. There were a few issues that did come up in testing regarding NPCs and jumpgates, if you happen to be in a jump gate LONGER than 60 second go ahead and restart the client, we know what the issue is and will be fixing in on another patch this week. We have also pushed fixes which should handle most STUCK loading cases, might be a few more out there but we expect 95% of stuck loading should be solved at this time.
Changes of Note:
- When switching loadouts in active ship in the Hangar, the stats change green if the change is positive and red if the change is negative
- When viewing the modules after the supply crate reveal, there is now a Detail button that you can click to view the modules stats
- Planets outside of Sol show as a Question mark planet icon on the Navigation map
- New FTUE flow
- Under the hood updates to support new events and in-game encounters.
All Fixes:
- Sigma XRB-9134 Slipstream fx fixed
- In Profile: currency is now updated when used
- Vulcan Packer trails not aligning fixed
- From Main Menu: Pop Ups "X" UI was added back
- Ship's max cargo being changed to equipped cargo module fixed
- Hangar UI - Hover text showing double fixed
- Photon Server - Users not being in the same channel fixed, users getting desynced when docking & undocking fixed
- Cloaking would sometimes not show user as cloaked or only be active for 3 seconds - fixed.
- Beam weapons now target ship critical points.
- Rich content display system is now being used for FTUE, will be used to support missions and quests in coming builds.
Design Updates:
- Phoenix Breeze FF Cargo Capacity went from 35,000 to 400,000
- Phoenix Breeze MP Cargo Capacity changed from 29,500 to 400,000
- Vulcan Pod Cargo Capacity changed from 20,000 to 400,000
- V.I.C.E. Vanguard SE Cargo Capacity changed from 750,000 to 1,000,000
Known Issues:
- Photon Server - There might be rare instances where users might not see other users despite being the in the same group and channel. Restarting should fix it if it happens.
- Maelstrom F81 FTL Drive, Maelstrom F82 FTL Drive, Vulcan Novastar Flash Drive not working as intended: these show as hard points, & Slipstream speed is significantly decreased
- In some cases, when in fullscreen windowed mode, UI hitboxes will be off centered and prevent users from activating various buttons. Resize your window to combat this.
- GFI Security fleet still disabled
- Sometimes when docking you might get a suspicious activity notice, disregard this as that is a false positive notice.
- On rare occasions, the user's ship may become invisible after docking
- In some instances, NPC won't show shields reducing when attacked.
- On Main Menu screen - Selecting DETAILS on a module after the supply crate reveal does not work
- If a user stacks cloaking modules they may be able to activate multiple at a time
- When coming out of the jumpgate ship trail will flash across the screen
- In some rare occasions, users will see double their crates in the inventory after purchasing- the UI is loading incorrectly and does not accurately reflect the number of crates the user has
- If user is in jumpgate longer than 60 seconds you must restart the client to get yourself out
Be sure to check out Eq Pegasi, a Research Station has been put up to investigate this odd rift forming… What could this mean for the CSC Universe, are worlds colliding? :smile: Rumor has it pirates are about in Eq, so make sure to be armed if you plan on mining.
That's all for now Commanders we will be taking off and checking in on issues tomorrow morning. Safe Flying!
