Star Citizen Catch-all

Got to run around a little more. OMG I can't wait to fly these things. I also need an upgrade, badly.

Boooo, I just get 'File Access is not authorized', despite having green ticks for everything. I did pick up the free 5000 credits though, so that's something..

Just downloaded and got my credits. From the sound of things it's nowhere near stable yet so I'm going to hold off on actually trying to get it running.

Hmm, still get 'File Access is not authorized' when trying to download the launcher from here, and yet, it worked absolutely fine via US proxy at work.. Is this supposed to be US only? Uncool, either way, but at least I got it

Well, apparently I have been neglecting my computer upgrades for too long. Who knew there was a DirectX 11 that my card didn't support? Should I go with the 300 dollar video card, or really get crazy and sell one of my children for a better card? If I get enough money for a kid, then I could afford to get a fancy new ship to go alongside my Aurora... tough call.

So if I have two packages - why am I only seeing one ship? Also $100 bucks to add a ship - thats kind of crazy for most folks.

I also hit the account login timeout this morning. At least the install went ok! Also, I didn't see anything (not that I read the EULA) but are we technically under NDA on this stuff?

Is that really the reaction you were going for?

LOL!

And I am also still seeing the timeout. What gives!?

Well, no real surprise but I can confirm a 64-bit OS is required. No error or anything, just won't launch. I'm surprised it even let me install the entire thing to begin with. Oh well, guess I have a project for the long weekend.

Not all of the ships are in. This is the list from the FAQ.

RSI Aurora
Origin Jumpworks 300i
Anvil Aerospace Hornet
MISC Freelancer
RSI Constellation
Drake Interplanetary Cutlass
Aegis Dynamics Avenger

Otherwise, you probably want to post in their Hanger Module Bug forum.

I can't imagine why when they're being so open about the development process as they go. I think they want this to generate a bit of buzz and sell more ships.

What gives is this is a pre-alpha! Seems like they took the last nightly build and threw it up on the servers. This is the downside of their open approach, you're gonna see how rough stuff is during development.

Still won't let me in.

You may want to look at your games file folders and see if they're set to read only and turn that flag off. Ever since the GW2 launch i've had issue with game installers/launchers doing that. It's annoying because have to do that after patches too.

Well, this was while trying to download the launcher itself. So I didn't actually have any SC related files whatsoever. Like I said, it worked fine from US proxy (downloading/installing the launcher), so maybe it was just my browser having a flip-out.

I'm still getting connection errors this morning.

You feel like you're seeing a piece of junk you're going to die in?

That's cause that's not the price of a ship. The ship is a reward for donating 100 bucks to the development of the game.

Oh, I plan to make good use of that lifetime insurance.

Havn't been able to get in yet but others are having the same issue so i'm sure it'll get fixed eventually. I click the Launch button and it just sits there doin nothin:) But i can enjoy the patcher music:)

Are you getting just a black screen, with an icon for your mouse if you hit Escape? That was my symptom, and it is a DirectX 11 deficiency.

Uh, if i got to a black screen that'd be progress....

My hardware is fine. The game log says so:P

I said what i meant, i click the launch button and nothing happens. I can sit there and click it all day if i want, but nothing happens.

I was able to log in, it's nice, not a ton to do aside from run around in circles and look at your ship.

Yey, got it to load finally. Then clipped out of the level Oops.

Me, too!

Then I started over, and eventually figured out how to open the hatch and climb into my ship.

Pew! Pew!

Buy another ship to get a better hanger. I'd suggest the 300i.

Finally got in. I love my 300i!

Cant wait to get her out in the open space. she looks so cramped.

Yeah, she's totally the prettiest ship.

Here's a video of the Constellation in the top tier hangar. $225 is too rich for my blood, sadly.
