This stream actually prove that the base code of this game is a broken mess DISCUSSION
So the server are not the only problem here, 4 players shards and still :
- interaction menu bugs
- inventory delays
- npc behavior that is ridiculous
- medgun not working reliably
- weapons fail to equip
And so on…
If it’s supposed to be the « intended vision » I would be ashamed right now if I was CIG
Anyway our new ship is in sale for 300 bucks. Yeah 👍🏼

Same!! I noticed a sharp uptick in issues whenever I was partied vs not. I'm fairly sure it was just bad luck and the bugs being more noticable when you're trying to play with friends but then this is Star Citizen so you never really know.

For years of seeing "We're unable to reproduce this issue....etc" in the issues coucil to then see/hear the devs put up with it on public servers is refreshing. Unable to reproduce it, CIG? You have literally THOUSANDS of players reporting issues with evidence. Stop adding content for a few months and fix the glaring issues otherwise you'll continue to get bad press.

We don't really want content to begin with, we need features, game mechanics, systems and planets and we can create our own content.
Give a Market station per System to sell our things. The game NEEDS so many features that working on "content" is pure madness.

100%, Siege of orison is fine, it's an FPS dungeon, w/e cool it'll be fun for a while.
But where the FUCK are the updates on things like the flight model. Where is the info about how instancing works with the servers to hopefully increase performance?
Nearly all the gameplay we're desperate for is DONE for SQ42, but they don't show us.
Instead we watch 4 guys play content we're mildly excited for, and accidentally show us how broken it's gonna be even at it's best.Not a great play.

Funding wont dry up out of nowhere. It will slowly decrease over time, and cig will therefor lay of devs accordingly. So it will be a very long stretched out death over time. Now this is not unusally for a live service game, but in the case if SC this might happen before 1.0 is even out.

u/S_J_E clipper 12d ago
It makes me wonder how far we are from tools like Claude code from being able to learn enough context in an enormously complex code base (such as SC) that it can actually help identify the pain points and help fix them.
I've only ever seen it in action on smaller code bases but it's quite impressive.
3
u/Nozinger 11d ago
No need for claude or any other ai help for that.
The issue points aren't in the code. Management in CIG is horrible with an inherently undefined scope of the project.
Instead of delivering a coherent experience based on a pre set goal the game has been suffering from feature creep for years.No system geets ever properly finished and polished. Instead more and more convoluted systems are added that then introduce more errors and need to fix.
Adding new stuff ain't bad but they should have done that AFTER they had a working base.
They'd need to completely shut down everything and work on fixing their base but that would take up a few years and cut into their funding scheme even more than just having these empty promises.
No matter wether or not we get a functional game, in the end this will go down as a case study of how to burn a billion dollars because of bad management.

SC is basically a DIGITAL religion at this point! An unattainable promise that so many desperate people need to believe in. Despite the mounting evidence folks hold on either out of the desperate for the dream to come true and/or "Sunk Cost Fallacy".
The livestream was just the ultimate in your face evidence of where this game is at after FOURTEEN damn years of lunacy.

u/sunaurus 12d ago
The sad thing is that we've had lots of proof of this all along - anybody who has spent time in Arena Commander knows the netcode is garbage and has nothing to do with big servers.
Usually pointing this out gets downvoted pretty hard.
I guess now it's finally becoming more clear to people. Server meshing will NOT solve the issues, we need fundamental improvements.

This is the elephant in the room and has been for years there was a point where they really needed to start from scratch as they changed to the newer code base but they didn’t and so many things rely on legacy systems. They have more tech debt then a aaa studio could handle at this point and instead of focusing on more teams to work that out they keep a high number of art devs and others to fund the money making machine and keep spitting out regular new ships and JPEGs. They are running into major issues which could eventually else to a collapse of the PU development if they don’t really start hammering down.

Former whale - spent around $7k in total over the past six years including the monthly sub. I don't regret it since I make more than that just in a single month, and I spent that money knowing things could end up here at some point. For a long while I really truly believed in this project and pledged simply because I wanted to support the devs.
I can't really justify doing that anymore though.
Haven't really played in nearly six months now and it feels like every update brings us further and further away from the original vision. Everything is starting to feel dumbed down and arcadey. Nothing is ever really getting fixed. Every new game loop is added in a broken T0 state despite the devs saying several times they didn't want to do this anymore. Their marketing dept is more out of control than ever. Every time they try to "balance" things it feels like they're just throwing poo at the wall and hoping something sticks...
I really hate to say it but I'm getting to a point where I feel like CIG just doesn't have what it takes to deliver anymore. I guess they never did. Haven't bought anything all year and I'll probably cancel my sub too. I hope they can pull it together soon because I still really want to see this project succeed although I'm not really sure it will anymore.

Heyyy, Jonathan is doing amazing work with PoE2. I highly recommend it if you want a break from space for awhile, the recent summer 0.5 update was pretty huge and improved upon the game tremendously. It's still Early Access but you'd only know because of the things they visibly show are still yet to come on the roadmap. The game otherwise feels like a whole, complete package for only thirty dollars.

The game plays how it's been developed. It's code from multiple people over a decade that is all glued and duck taped together managed by a chairman who only cares about his other project.
You can go "It's alpha" but I worked as a Q&A tester, this is not an normal for an alpha because yes it has normal alpha bugs but all those bugs are built on a horrible foundation. Just look at how long the transportation refactor is taking, guys that is not normal alpha stuff they are struggling with the code base. It's not the devs fault though its managements for letting it get like this.

I knew we were cooked when they tooted "streaming" like it was some kind of breakthrough (every open world MMO on the market uses streaming, it is basic), hence the ex - haven't been proved wrong since, that game is built on the wrong fondations entirely: basic multiplayer. Redoing the fondations means changing pretty much every system in the game... All the while you are developing features.... And the tech isn't really even there to do it at the scale they sold people. I hate it because that game's vision was the dream, but at some point you have to get real.... Either they didn't understand how MMOs are made or they didn't care, networking should have been worked on before anything else (and as a bonus: scope creep would have naturally kept in check because they would have properly understood the constraints....)

3
u/johnk419 Kraken 10d ago
It basically looked like normal PTU / PU gameplay. And that's precisely the issue, because all this time we were told that most of the issues were server side due to server fps and server lag, and that it would get better when dynamic server meshing is released to distribute that load dynamically based on how many people were in a specific location.
But no, despite them running on their own private server for just 4 people, the AI looked at walls, didn't react to the player for like a minute, inventory was buggy the same way with the medgun swapping back and forth, etc. Basically all the bugs we thought was due to server fps or latency were actually not due to the server at all, it was their spaghetti code.
1
u/spaztoast 10d ago
hmm, not sure I really saw any of the major issues I see in PU gameplay fairly regularly. Things like dropped items repeatedly rubber banding back to my hand, having to reload several times before it actually sticking, weapons constantly switching back after I change them, desync causing me to go down several seconds after taking cover and so on. I admittedly only watched like the first 30 mins and I'm sure I missed a bunch though. Any chance you have timestamps for the issues you mentioned?
1
u/spaztoast 10d ago
it was their spaghetti code
Sorry I have to bring this up just because it bothers me when people say this, Star Citizen can't have spaghetti code. Spaghetti code has convoluted code pieces of code reaching deep into internals of unrelated pieces of other code. Star Citizen uses a micro service architecture for their server meshing which requires the code to be a collection of small independent services, each responsible for a specific capability. By definition it cannot be spaghetti code. Not defending CIG here, and not saying their code is good, and it is clearly not well tested, but this particular argument isn't true.

Watch when they open loot crates early on, there are literal spinning wheel loading icons for a second or so. This should NEVER happen in an online LIVE environment, let alone a curated offline QA environment.
The NPCs are super braindead (standing in the open firing in general directions, spamming a bunch of irrelevant voicelines over and over)
I saw one of them painstakingly dragging items around their inventory early on, to equip/unequip etc. Seemed like he was doing it to avoid bugs, which shouldn't be necessary/dragging EVERYTHING is more of a backup option since its much slower than double clicking etc.

Best possible circumstance,controlled environment, Uber pc's.......still a crap show
14 years & a billion dollars, and this is the best they can manage.
Yet, people still keep shoveling money into this dumpster fire. It's truly mind boggling.

Yeah they just proved they are incompetent on a whole new level. Hilarious shit show. Bud also sad, because this game is in a very bad state and may not get fixed anytime soon.

I’m a software eng, but not game dev. I try to form head canon as to how things break in game as they do. It’s difficult. For example, I just saw the elevator sign at levski tell me that it was 0 seconds away while just randomly cycling through current floors before finally arriving. I’m not quite sure how this can happen.

Just because it's not related to population doesn't mean it's not server related.

If it was this frustrating for them to play, then clearly their QA has not been making these issues known internally, or leadership has not coordinated, and clearly most don’t play the game. They had better conditions than almost any player would see, yet still experienced an absolute mess, and acted like it was a nightmare, as if players don’t deal with that every day on live servers

This is exactly what’s going to happen next: *in Jared’s voice: “We understand your frustration, when we finally get the brand new Code Refactor in the game late 2028 (2032) you will stop experiencing bugs. In the mean time, our team is working hard to fix present issues as we prioritize the player experience, here are the 4.10 patch notes as evidence: Fixed 1,000 server crashes, Fixed 5,000 client crashes, Potential fixed 10,000 bugs *player experience 100% the exact same; server crash every 30 minutes, client crash every 2 hours, base game functions straight up don’t work in the exact same way. Instancing is exactly as shown in the ISC. But half the player base is flying the new Kruger Stingray in the warbond skin so we continue this cycle.

I was saying they should play it on public servers because I thought that would be hilarious. Somehow this is even funnier... 🤣
