Faste Star Citizen-fans er åbenbart vrede over tekniske knaster i spillets "biggest update ever"

Star Citizen er fortsat er under udvikling, og har hevet over $500 millioner ind fra entusiastiske fans og spillere, der naturligvis har ønsket adgang til den del af spillet der findes lige nu, og på sigt ønsker at se spillet færdigudviklet - hvornår det så er end er.

For nylig leverede de spillets "biggest update yet", Alpha Build 3.18, men den skabte øjeblikkelig vrede blandt passionerede fans. Mere specifikt var det nærmest med det samme umuligt at logge ind, og spillets status-side nævnte også en "partial outage":

De opgraderede dog mandag til at kalde det en "major outage", og dem der har kunne logge ind har oplevet et utal af gigantiske tekniske knaster. Det har fået studiet bag til at udgive denne meddelelse:

"Since the launch of Star Citizen Alpha 3.18.0 our teams have been monitoring a number of issues players have been encountering while attempting to log into the game. These have primarily manifested in the form of 19003 and 19004 with a mix of other similar codes. While monitoring those issues, the team has been able to tune and make adjustments to the entitlement processing flow to ensure that a large portion of player attempts were still successful and able to make it into the Persistent Universe. However, at a point in the early morning UTC, the environment entered into a state which would require a more disruptive recovery process."

Tager man et kig på spillets Reddit-side er den fyldt til randen med vrede fans, der brokker sig over disse fejl:

"Why release this buggy disaster on a Friday afternoon? I've been trying for four days to log in. 19k, 60k, 30k errors. Dozens of login attempts. Managed to get in once for 10 minutes and nothing could be interacted with. Terminals didn't work, Ship controls... missions... nothing. And then a 30k crash. This is embarrassingly bad, even by Star Citizen standards. I've been a backer since day one. I'm not going anywhere. But after all this time we don't have our shit together to release a mess like this?" skriver en fan.
