Hey there everyone!

We’re 4 months into the “year of bug fixing and quality of life improvements” and I’ve been wondering how’s everyone’s experience with the game so far.

Are you enjoying improved stability and new content added with/since 4.0 dropped or are you someone plagued by bugs and server issues?
What are your thoughts about the current state of Star Citizen?

Just to be clear: this isn’t a thread fishing for negativity and complaints. I’m genuinely curious.

    Ooof, sounds way worse than anything I’ve experienced since my return.

    The med bay, ship retrieval, ship spawning in the ground are known issues I believe. Don’t know if they’re all confirmed on the issue council so feel free to check and bump them if needed. It’s always good to let CIG know which bugs are the most common.

    Could your boost issue be related to the sticky keys functionality in Windows? Just a random idea.

    I’m not sure about being glued to landing pads. I THINK I read something about it around 4.0 (?) release but I have no idea what was the workaround. The one thing I could suggest is to check if you have the “proximity assist” setting enabled - it limits thrust when your ship is close to surfaces so maybe that might have something to do with it? It would most likely be a regular issue if that was the case but might be worth a try.

    Which Alt + K did you press? If I recall correctly there are two key binds, Left Alt + K (extend wings/Hull-A cargo area?) and Right Alt + K (unlock physical component access). I can’t check right now to confirm so I’ll update this part if it turns out I was wrong.

    Available missions are a bit limited at the moment unfortunately. They’re actively working on rewriting the old mission types for server meshing so we should have more to do (and with less issues) when 4.1.1 drops. Until then, one can only hope for a decent server.

    Edit: Ah, I see QuadratureSurfer came up with the same solutions. Guess I wasn’t wrong after all.

      Appreciate the feedback. I tried left Alt-L. When that didn’t work I tried right. The cockpit button wasn’t working either so maybe the whole thing was bugged. So glad you guys pointed me to proximity assist. I only check in once or twice a year and have to relearn everything. This update has me feeling like I’m starting to get the hang of things. Now that bugs are getting squashed and I can easily make money I’m planning on a rental spree. Woohoo!

        Glad you’re having fun. Things really do feel better when they actually work, don’t they?

        The key bind thing is weird. I checked a few different sources and everywhere Left Alt + K is mentioned as a “ship transform” key so it does seem like something is bugging out. I did a brief Issue Council search but couldn’t find anything like this - might be worth opening a new report about it.
