Star Citizen Performance Is Still TRASH In 2024

This game has a fantastic cost to enjoyment ratio.

(I have paid nothing and don’t play it. But the inevitable slapfights it creates are amazing.)

Still fun 🤷🏻‍♂️

lol fucking neckbeards downvoting someone for liking a game that YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LIKE

- It’s not my fault they haven’t at least tried the four times a year free fly events lately. Some of them have good reason to be salty, I still have ships I’ve been waiting years for and I’m not in the honeymoon phase with the game anymore.
  
  Overall it’s a smart way to fund development of a server meshing software you can license to other companies later. The game has technologies behind it specifically made to do this at business scale, and they are just applying them to a video game. (Kubernetes, microservices, containers, etc.)
  
  I wish the game would be finished already but as long as squadron 42 comes out idc. That’s originally what I backed.

- You mean like when people say they like Starfield?

- Maybe just Elite Dangerous fans who are mad?

When I played it enough to fly in spaceship mode instead of plane mode I really enjoyed it. Not tried it recently though.

Is there any way to use bigger ships without paying money?

- Absolutely, you can pretty quickly grind ships. Salvage is paying a lot right now so, rent a Vulture and have at it.
  
  You can rent ships in game for much less than the in game cost of the ship and every flyable ship is buyable in game that didn’t come out for the current patch. There are three new ships this patch but all 40-50 others are buyable in game.

Agree. Dunno about the game but the drama is the best

I'm sorry, but I'm calling BS on the video. I don't see any actual stuttering, just a person who needs mouse smoothing for their hand.

I checkout SC once or twice per year because I think it has huge potential but it is not yet in a state where I can enjoy playing it for more than a couple of hours. There are still bugs, fps and stability issues. Development seems to have gone a little faster in the last year though and I really hope there will be a beta release somewhere this year.

In the meantime there are plenty of other games to enjoy.

My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.

Is this new game news?

What isn't game news? Is this inaccurate? I don't know I didn't buy the game but you can downvote and comment on the inaccuracies or irrelevancy of the articles/videos.

1
- It doesn't matter whether it is accurate, lots of other comments in the thread about that.
  
  A random YouTube channel kicking a dead horse is just not gaming news, it's just a desperate grab for content.

Star Citizen has paid for itself in good relaxing times space trucking or mining after work with a couple of beers. This dude should probably have his computer checked by someone who knows what they're doing. My guess would be bitcoin miner running in the background or SSD filled up with furry porn.

The video is ok but a little misleading. The person who is recording the video is only walking around the most performance intensive parts of the game. You will spend most of your time outside of the cities (only the shops are useful and you can stay on the space stations instead). I have gotten close to 100fps with below recommended specs. The main bottleneck to performance is the servers and your ssd.

The day before.

I have a midtier rig and get 60fps anywhere outside of the major cities. If your computer sucks this isn't the game for you. Try Minecraft.
The game has recieved almost no optimization at this point, because it's still an Alpha, regardless of how silly a game being in Alpha for ten years may sound. With SQ42 now in polishing, the optimisation work there will likely spill over into SC soon enough. There's also the switch to Vulkan round the corner, and the various improvements to the underlying server tech, and so on and so forth.
None of this fucking matters, because the game is an ungodly success beyond anything that anyone could have imagined. If you're someone who is buying in now it's because you're willing to go along for the ride. If you're not buying in now, that's an entirely sensible decision (never pre-order, etc, etc) and maybe some day down the line they'll get the game into a state where you do think it's worth buying. Maybe they won't. Either way you've lost nothing.

As a necessary addendum to the comment above: I bought the game 2014 and back then I was thinking to myself: ok. I've waited enough. It surely is releasing either later this year or even if they delay it. 2015 at the latest.

If you do decide to buy it. Expect year-long delays for anything they say might be coming out.

Oh SQ42 is in polishing? They have claimed it was done back in 2014.

😂 people pay money for this trash

I think the main issue is, people are saying you can't like this game. People are arguing that other people physically cannot enjoy this game even if they think they do

That's gatekeeping and gas lighting.

Not all people like all games, not all people like all experiences, and that's okay. But hating other people for liking something you don't like is childish

- I think people are angry that the game took more time than it was promised
  
  2
- Yeah, no... You can disapprove of what's going on here (vapor ware), and not be a "hater". Grow up.

- I don't understand hating but I'll make fun of them.

Quite a lot of it too

While I don't think that this development process is going to end well, I don't much think that ripping on the people who did buy in is very nice.

I mean, I'd like a new, good space combat game too, and that's all they were after.

- It's funny. I'm going to point and make fun of them.
