Hey there everyone!

We’re 4 months into the “year of bug fixing and quality of life improvements” and I’ve been wondering how’s everyone’s experience with the game so far.

Are you enjoying improved stability and new content added with/since 4.0 dropped or are you someone plagued by bugs and server issues?
What are your thoughts about the current state of Star Citizen?

Just to be clear: this isn’t a thread fishing for negativity and complaints. I’m genuinely curious.

    Huh, the more you know… Thanks for the write up!

    I’m guessing you haven’t experienced the mobiglas issue with ship changes not saving then? Looks like I’ll have to test some more when I have some time.

      No problem!

      Not in 4.1, but I haven’t played a whole lot there either. I did however swap out components from an NPC ship in 4.1 and I haven’t come across that issue yet.

        I’m salty… This is the only serious bug I’ve had since coming back for 4.1 and it’s ever present - no matter which server, ship or time of day.

          Yeah, that would be a frustrating bug for sure. Someone listed a workaround on an issue council ticket for a bug like that, but it was for 4.0.0
          Hopefully it helps:

          Tap for (possible) workaround

          In this photo with the Vehicles < Mobi Glass with the Drake Corsair in display - you will see I have found a workaround to be capable of equipping the component & saving the component. There are YouTube videos for what I am about to explain here.

          Instructions: (R-ALT + K) Ship Ports Unlocked > Tractor Beam Components Swapping the ones in need > Store Ship > Unequip 1 missile (or any component of your choice) > Save Changes > Close Mobi Glass > Re-Open Mobi Glass > Vehicles > Drake Corsair > Re-Equip 1 missile > Save Changes.

          Once done, you may lock ship ports again. This method works with only S1 & S2 components or smaller sizes.

          If you ignored my instructions & went straight to mobi-glass to equip these legal salvaged parts - you will soon find out that it will say EMPTY & changes won’t be saved properly.

            Appreciate the workaround but it won’t help in my case. From the same post:

            Like I’ve explained before, it becomes extremely problematic for ships with zero access to their components like the Drake Cutlass models, Redeemer, Connie models, Valkyrie, etc.

            That’s my exact problem as neither Aurora nor C8R (the only ships I own) have physical access to components. Thanks for trying to help though!

            Edit: Alright, I checked other issues linked in the one you posted and I found another workaround that did work for me. I’ll copy it here in case someone has the same issue.

            Another workaround

            Only need to sync your time , the clock in your machine is wrong

            How to sync time in Windows 11: Settings -> Time & Language -> Date & Time -> Additional Settings -> Sync Now.

            I have no idea what kind of spaghetti code connects mobiglas functionality to client date but apparently wrong time on your PC can cause problems. I’m not sure if I’m impressed or terrified.

            Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I’m finally free!
