4.5.0 Hotfix (12.19.25) in c/starcitizen@lemmy.world
[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, for now using Experimental Wine Wayland has fixed this for me.

I also had to make sure to add the --in-process-GPU argument to fix my launcher from being all white.

And then there was the user.cfg override by going with 2 pixels less on the height to fix the occasional black screen issue with any full screen effects.

How to Identify Vanduul Spacecraft (robertsspaceindustries.com)
 

Image from the latest Squadron 42 Newsletter:

With Vanduul raider activity on the rise, the UEE strongly encourages all civilians to familiarize themselves with these dangerous, enemy spacecraft so they may recognize incoming threats and immediately take action.

The accompanying guide details known Vanduul ships that have been engaged by the UEE Navy. We strongly advise all civilians to study not only these specific ships, but also the broader traits of Vanduul design, as enemy silhouettes and weapons configurations may vary between clans. Pay particular attention to the arched wing structures, sweeping curves, and distinctive blade-like points.

UEE Naval Intelligence presents these images with minor redactions for classification purposes:

Headhunters Striker Clothing Set rewarded to those who stuck with HH the whole way. in c/starcitizen@lemmy.world

Even just a backpack for clothing and I'd be set.

But, yeah, clothing and armor mixed is definitely a feature I'd like to see soon.

Stamp-CIG updated the Frontier Fighters thread in Spectrum announcing an update for the event:

TERRORIST LEADER SLAIN
Infamous leader of the Frontier Fighters, Amelia Boyd, killed by Headhunters gang.
After last month’s coordinated assault on the Pyro system utilizing multiple stolen RSI Polaris, leader of the terrorist organization Frontier Fighters, Amelia Boyd, has been brutally executed following her capture by the notorious outlaw group the Headhunters. Despite Citizens for Prosperity’s inability to hand Boyd over to UEE authorities to face justice, there is hope that with the Frontier Fighter’s leader now deceased that the group will no longer to be a threat.

To honor the efforts of the pilots who stepped in and assisted the Headhunters gang in bringing down this dangerous terrorist organization, the Headhunters Striker Clothing Set has been distributed to all participants who stood with the Headhunters from start to finish.

* These items will be delivered in Alpha 4.5. The distribution process can take some time, so don't worry if you don't see your items in your hangar right away.

A user in spectrum noted:

i completed phase 1, 2, and 3 for CFP but only 1, and 3 for the HH but i was awarded the clothing set. Not sure what the criteria could have been, perhaps just participating in all three phases for the HH?

So maybe, as long as you chose HH at the beginning and participated in later phases you got the reward?

Looks like some users have already started to receive the rewards:

Yeah, I think he made it more of a priority once EAC was forced and VR users were unable to use their workaround.

I'm definitely glad to see some support for the VR community. I don't have a headset yet, but I'd like to get into it eventually.

It's not just PieFed, even on Lemmy there is no link.

Nicou-CIG - Thanks For the Engineering Feedback, adjustments have been made (robertsspaceindustries.com)
 

TL/DR:

  • Adjustments to TTK for Powerplants
  • Repair Speed Increased to 3x
  • Laser and Ballistics should affect shields differently
  • Shields/armor resistance needs fixing
  • Shields buffed

Tap for full textNicou-CIG

Hey folks, thanks again for all the feedback on Engineering and combat, it’s been incredibly helpful for the teams and is actively guiding the balance work for 4.5.  

We’ve brought your top questions to the developers, and balancing is in full motion, with several updates already being prepared for upcoming PTU builds.

  • Ships were going down too fast from Power Plant critical states, leaving no time for Engineers to react. Fixes have been submitted to make this much less frequent.
  • Repair speed felt too slow. It has already been tripled, and further adjustments are on the way. We will keep an eye on it with additional data and your feedback to avoid making repairs too strong.
  • Laser and ballistic weapons felt too similar in how they affect shields and armor. Adjustments were made, and we’re continuing to monitor and tune these differences.
  • Shield and armor resistance values will also be reviewed in future builds. We discovered several system issues that needed to be addressed first before improving how these stats show up on MFDs and the Engineering Console.
  • Shields durability felt too low, and mitigation changes have already been submitted to address this.

More updates are on the way, and today's update will include a lot of improvements and changes. Your continued feedback helps us validate data and prioritize balance changes. Please keep sharing your experiences on the PTU, and thanks again for helping us improve 4.5

Thanks! I updated the post to try to make it clearer that this is experimental and it's probably better to wait for anything official.

I probably jumped the gun on this one because of how excited I am for this update.

Edit/Note: This is still a work in progress, it might be better to wait for the official runner/release.

For anyone who really wants to try out Vulkan in 4.5, go to the LUG discord -> Community-Projects channel and check the pinned message there.

It seems to be working for most users trying it, but there are likely some systems that still won't work with it.

In-game, some Fedora users mentioned it was working, and it was working fine for my system as well (Arch/CachyOS).

Are you really getting scammed if you know what you're getting into?

It's fun to play in my opinion and I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of it. Also they keep improving it, it's not like they took my money and ran away with it.
