Thing is: Those orbital rotation transitions are 100% a Object-Container and associated physics-grid problem as far as I am aware. I am pretty sure you can do the same thing and have the same results right now when going into live, if you just find the transition between the planetary Object-Container and space

This game is becoming more like it was envisioned; and im all for it

Pls DONT EVER promote BETTER HELP again. They shared patients mental health data with 3rd parties even tho they claimed they wouldn't.

I am already flabbergasted that their server center did not explode from that load. Excruciatingly slow progress, but progress nonetheless. If they actually make a Making-of: Star Citizen like they promised during the kick-starter, it will be a feature length movie.

The rotating object container spaces around planets have been there for a long time. Most people just weren't aware of them because there was no reason to fly to that exact boundary. For those of us doing quantum interdiction, they were very relevant. It's just because CIG is assigning different object containers to different servers that people are noticing this now.

I want 10k players at new babbage.

And years ago people were like "it's impossible" and that question is usually followed up by "How did they do that?"

Even with the rough edges, the tech is remarkable. Very proud of the team and thanks to the testers doing their part too.

There has been an edge where the planet rotation starts in the game for a long time. Any good Mantis pilot uses it to set their trap.

I've said this a few times, but whether or not Satr Citizen as a game sticks is irrelevant. The tech CIG is pioneering using this game as the backdrop is arguably the most important thing coming out of this. Seeing this tech pop up in other games in the future is going to be amazing.

I think the "Raptor" is a SCU box/cargo barge :)

The tech is really bloody cool, can't deny that one bit

5:45 might have always been a bug in the game, we just din't notice it because it's an arbitrary point and the only reason olly knew where it is is because of the server changing / knocking him out of qt

I think daily about this game, and i've just played a couple of hours total. I will not start to play seriously at least until 4.0 releases, but man once i start i'll never see another game on my pc.

a ship with 100 players would have its internals in their own server, but the external part of the ship/any areas with outside views would be in the main server

"we still dont have a release date for 3.23 other than Q2" They literally told us April.

I MIGHT FINALLY COME BACK

Interesting to see these numbers go up. Played some Star Atlas recently with 5k players on a single map and they showed a tech demo with 30k players (bots) on a single server.

Beautiful integration segue, Level

Regarding the sneak peak of that ship, my guess is on that its an ARGO medium size salvage ship, if you look closely on the right side, Argo orange my dudes.

Imagine this technology mixed with minecraft + distant horizons. You could have an entire world in minecraft.

Betterhelp sold patient / customer data to bidders like facebook. You shouldn't peddle their snakeoil for them as they are not a transparent and healthy company. Man, that's fucked up.

8:30 You should be able to melt the currently ship for store credit then buy the one you want that's the same price with said store credit. The upgrade system wont let you select it but you should still be able to switch it out

what is the name of soundtrack that plays around 9:22?

Regarding orbits/spinning planets. Since 3.0 the entire object container for planets and moons spin, since these containers are what can be servers the boundary is the same. You can see this effect in pre-server meshing servers as well. It's just not too common to be near the border.

shoot that server change when in planetary boundary are simple but genuinely genius

It really is an exciting time there's alot of work they are gonna need to do, not just on the server tech itself, but in the game designs that bring servers to their knees (persistence of wreck pieces for example is awesome, but without quanta NPCs or missions given to humans to clean them up...they clog everything) but Benoit and the team must be very proud of the test, and it really gives alot of hope to the backers that we'll see a real MMO emerge

1.0 PLEASE COME OUT I NEEEEEEEEED IT

This game is about to blow up, big-time. The upcoming updates are going to shut down the doubters

I would love if they conducted a test where I download the game and it works (I got a new computer and get the old error where after installing, it doesnt launch/work at all).

LevelCap, we can here it in your voice. Not necessarily the therapy part, but the emotion none the less. We felt it when we watched the Star Engine demo too.

Do you have to complete all the overdrive intel raids to get the hornet upgrade or is there more missions ?

Nitpick: There are only three Hornets. Hornet, Hornet Ghost and Super Hornet. Your wildfire is just a Hornet with a special skin. Nothing about it is different than a F7C. No point owning one unless you want the cosmetic attached to it. Just melt is and buy a F7C with store credit.

Did everyone just forget about what betterhelp was?

Dropped out of ship between servers and couldnt get a single mission to actually accept. More work required or we get 3.18 all over again.

That's nice... I wonder when they gonna figure out the tech called parachute tho... or nightvision.

btw levelcap, give customer service a shout they are often happy to give people deals and switch things around, particularly if ur concierge etc

Now do you think more ppl will get into pvp or less now 🤔

Imagine battlefield with 800 players

CIG cant and SHOULD not sell the server meshing tech. Its so custom made to their own game that the effort to try and port os almost surely not worthy at all.

That thumbnail is splendid

I think the F7C MK2 Event Missions are quite nice, especially Mission 2 is one I could imagine doing more often. You should've waited for the end of those missions as it is just the beginning.

I love the overdrive event. I hope they do another one but for the current owners of the F8C to upgrade to the F8A.

Very exciting! cant wait for the futur!!

This is the tech we are backing for!

Seems like they will have the same problems Second Life has when crossing servers, you always get a lil hiccup, glitch etc. Don't think the tech is there yet for it to ever be truly seamless.

Unity recently presented a server meshing demo. No idea if it's ready for prod.

If this tech is perfected , we will be one step closer to having a world like in the movie ready player one. I’m pledging more cig . Hyped.

As a dedicated cargo hauler, I've noticed the increasing popularity of piracy as a gameplay feature. Surprisingly, I don’t mind it-piracy adds an exciting dimension to the game. However, there's a major concern that needs addressing: the unfair advantage pirates have when they attack traders in areas without comm stations. Currently, these attacks often go unpunished, and it's frustrating to be repeatedly ambushed by players this way and not being able to retaliate. To enhance gameplay fairness and balance, I propose an innovative solution: equipping the Cutlass Blue with a 10-20km comm station range. This would allow traders to hire Cutlass Blue pilots for protection. The presence of a Cutlass Blue could enable traders to send out a distress signal with a single button press during an attack, providing a fair chance for assistance. This feature would add a strategic layer for both traders and pirates, where pirates would need to first disable the Cutlass Blue to prevent the distress signal from being sent. Incorporating this idea could significantly improve the gameplay experience. Traders would feel more secure, knowing they have a viable means of calling for help, while pirates would face a more balanced challenge. If the pirates manage to disable the Cutlass Blue, the gameplay reverts to its original state, maintaining the risk and excitement of piracy. This solution not only enhances fairness but also enriches the game’s strategic depth. It's a win-win for both cargo haulers and pirates, fostering a more engaging and dynamic in-game environment. What do you think?

Can’t wait to play the beta with my great grandchildren

The ship disappearing seems to be just him rotating so fast away from it. This has happened to me a couple times around planets.

It's all well and good, I just haven't played it for 3 or so years.

I really hope this tech can be licensed to smaller dev teams at an affordable price. Sandbox mmos have been complete crap and one of the reasons in my opinion is the compromises made on scale. Many of these games do not work on a small scale servers and server "wars" (last oasis, mortal empires, ark) are incredibly lame. I was too young to play the genre in its hay day and am so eager for a come back!!

This is definitely exciting times

0:17 slight correction - you can't say "solar system" you need to say "staunton system" :P

Probably a good start.

Chris said he’s not interested in licensing the Star Engine to other devs/publishers. However, that doesn’t mean he won’t license the server meshing solution. It would be really cool to see more games attempting a similar single-shard approach to mmos. The whole “metaverse” concept is a mere marketing joke without a networking solution like the one CIG is developing.

Fun fact there's only one Solar System. All the other's are (star name's} system, or star system generally

Man they really got a lot of people with that “Raptor” tease huh? It’s not even a ship, turn the image on its side and you’ll see how obviously it’s a tire and a taillight lol, it’s a ground vehicle, probably from Argo, I’d say for carrying cargo planetside to support distribution centers.

Starfield has been silent since this video dropped

The Star Citizen hate crowd been real quiet after this one

Releasing in year 2077

The event is fun and actually brings people together, the same way all events so far.

I think we won at last in someway, people used to clown on us by saying "magic tech" even when similar iteration of tech was done in other games, but i wouldn't judge the criticism because it took us long time to reach here and still there's lot more to do.

the raptor.,....... flip that image and it looks like a wheel.

Raptor is a vehicle either for transport of small base building is my guess.

Is this new tech. If not, which game is using it rn?

Yep, the RAPTOR was an amazing ship XD

I just got an AD for UEC. People are already selling in game credits and the game isnt even finished yet...

Am I the only one experiencing the train glitching off the track as it goes? Can that be fixed or is it noticed?

Godspeed Chris Roberts

been waiting for this game for a decade now lol

Are those 30k crashes still a thing?

it was fun but still needs alot of work . crashing during QT and random times.

Shoutout to all the nonbelievers and doom sayers, those who called this game a scam. Sorry you were wrong. Hope you enjoy the success this game will bring the industry, instead of denying its great accomplishments further!

Raptor appears to be a gravity bike.

The "rotating hypothesis", pretty sure the server is not rotating. That might make sense to the human brain, but in the scope of a game server... not really. Sure, the planet can rotate but space has to be a coordinate system.

The reward for the Event should be the ticket AND in game rewards

Awesome!

Hello Games' Light No Fire needs this tech

don't worry, its only 2 more years away

Honestly 200 players in a server is already REALLY good. Now, we just need that many players with cross platform availabilities in all games.

unreal engine has had this meshing planned for a long long time, their api for servers have been terribly lacking and workarounds are costly - but 5.4 or next version might have ability to migrate servers.

HISTORY

Betterhelp sells your medical data.

But... Then it will be one server for each planet? How many planets are there?

Better help the new raid shadowlegends

Worth noting we never actually got 800 players in one instance, far as I know it was like 5-600 max. Not that this means anything but still, that's the most players that have ever been in stanton

I couldnt care less about all the Jank.. server meshing is absolutely insanely INCREDIBLE!! Even in this nascent state 🤯

great vid

HUZZAH for server meshing!

They're kinda paving the way for the gaming industry. Letting the others know whats possible and pushing boundaries. letting developer dream bigger.

Now they have just 5 years or hammering out any issues and 20 years to create content.

800 players at once, Yay! now all they have to do is deal with the 5million other pledged players.

I love server smeshing

I honestly started watching these videos cause of one where you almost cried over server meshing and i was like fuck. This stuff must be huge

This game is gonna be done then, boom, rapture!

Betterhelp???

This is all nice and stuff but star citizens biggest problem has always been optimization
