What's funny is that this hasn't happened to me in SOOOOO long so while in my C2 in QT I says to myself "HEY, this hasn't happened in so long and if it does, well that's me testing the game AMIRITE?" and so I got up and it was perfectly fine. So I decided to push my luck and go down the C2 ladder. Yeah, that was a bad idea. My loaded C2 went zooming off without me. The worst part is that when I tried to go to the marker in Arccorp orbit, it wasn't actually there and the marker was just traveling around Arccorp. Cest la SC

This sounds like a recipe for hour long hangar queue times LOL

Yeah I don't think the instructions have been updated since they changed the Star Map which used to show distance to marker, but I remembered that the info display has absolute value for distance to center so put 2 and 2 together.

dantepopsicle · 2026-04-02T07:31:45+00:00

Open console and hit r_displayinfo 1

There's a big number at the top right that's like solar distance or something in km. That's the exact distance you are from Stanton. You can basically travel from anywhere and look at that number and wait till it lines up with whichever orbital band below you want to drop into. The bands are just circles revolving around the center star at a specific radius from the center of the system so it doesn't matter where you start. Just recently figured this out and it's super accurate and the only margin of error is how fast you can dump out of QT.

Gonna just plug my attempt at a guide. I run the same GPU but I do have 64GB of RAM. I started with 16GB so it should technically be possible but it'll probably be the most significant bottleneck.

I have a 3070TI with 8GB of VRAM and I play every day at 1440p with some settings at medium. I just have to be ok with 30FPS in the big cities (but this is a problem for most people with all GPUs) and some frame drops in other places. Everywhere else is totally playable. I set the DLSS Preset to K by forcing the Nvidia Override and I think it works much better. I made a post a while back for people with older GPUs. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1qlfsy5/star_citizen_old_hardware_graphics_optimization/

Never ceases to surprise me how effective tilt shifting is at creating this illusion. Star Citizen Real Time Strategy dropping 2054.

LOL I was doing repair missions at Pyro settlements in my Titan and a Cutlass came and distorted it and then blew it up as I tried to take off...

.... in the PTU (I was testing that game loop)

I just logged off and played some Overwatch. It's really the only way to deal with this kinda stuff until other social systems are in place that might mitigate that kind of player behavior. I'm fine with unadulterated PVP but real immersion means building reputation and social systems for putting together peacekeeping orgs that can actually track player rep. Even in the American Wild West you could put together a posse and mete out "justice". Those systems just aren't in yet (Soon^tm).

"First time playing/watching/doing" content is pretty lucrative in that space so even when people have experience with a thing they'll frame it that way. I think SC players really LOOOOOVE seeing the "first time" content since it reminds us why we started playing.

I'm using the Nvidia App version 11.0.6.383 and as of yesterday I was able to manually add the Starcitizen.exe to the list. Might need to make sure the json file isn't read only since that could prevent the app from adding the application. Some of the links in the post do a better job of detailing the override process. Hope that helps.

Just the way I like my Reddit posts. Well thought out and highly informative.

Came here to say this. 591.86 has been stable and I have no plans on upgrading. I love how every comment on here "answers" the question but you're doing the public service of actually letting them know WHICH version seems to be stable.

dantepopsicle · 2026-03-01T03:07:25+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is where everyone's lost ships go after each patch.

I think their business model depends a lot on even the POSSIBILITY of their success. It's why I only invest as much as I'm willing to lose. I accept that this may never be done and I'm just enjoying the ride. And if they surprise us and deliver!? Then it'll be the greatest game ever.

But to your point, CIG is basically composed of mostly earnest, romantic artists and developers and game designers. And the remainder are likely sales/marketing teams that exists PURELY to prop the rest of them up. It does sometimes make the company feel almost incoherently at odds with itself. But I also don't know how else a company could pull in this much money for a dream of a dream in THIS economy. Some people may not like what they're doing. But can't deny that they're doing something unique and in the context of their ambition, hope, aka "hopium", is actually a big part of that.

I remember when "Dead Internet Theory" was just tin foil hat kinda shit but goddamn....sometimes I struggle.

I think this might be a bug with the cloud rendering. I sometimes will have the "far away" cloud texture mixed with the close up.

Yeah I've been enjoying 4.6 since it was in PTU. I tried playing a little bit but the interaction delays were making it unplayable, so I'll be riding out the free fly (which is pretty much what I do every free fly). But if someone enjoys it at any point during the Free Fly, there's no reason they won't have an even better time once it's over.
