Star Citizen Patch 3.5.0d

Alpha Patch 3.5.0d has been released to Evocati, and is now available to test! Patch should now show: PTU-1279925.

It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Public client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizenPTU\LIVE.

Please monitor etf mega chat in spectrum for updates and testing instructions.

USER.cfg settings:

r_displayinfo = 3

Note: This patch does not contain all of the intended features, which will be added iteratively to the notes as they become available. Additionally, some features may be implemented in a partial state and as such are not ready for testing. When those features reach a playable state they will be detailed on the notes and added to the "Testing Focus".

Major Known Issues:

Players landing at major landing zones may not have their spawn location set there as intended.

DNA customization is incomplete and not usable.

There is a ship heat refactor incoming that will impact a number of systems including weapon heat and the use of afterburner.

New Features

Ships and Vehicles

Added bespoke turret UI and additional controls

Turrets now have a bespoke UI that displays the position vertically and horizontally related to the front of the ship, a sensitivity bar, and fire mode. Additionally, there are interaction nodes on the turret control console for increasing and decreasing sensitivity directly.

Added ship weapon auto-convergence

Fixed and gimbal weapons now auto-converge disparate weapon velocities and ranges into a single pip based on the slowest and shortest range weapon you have equipped. Additionally, gimbal and fixed weapons have a very small amount of target convergence (still being tuned).
