March 12, 20233 yr 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 PU. However, at a point in the early morning UTC, the environment entered into a state which would require a more disruptive recovery process. As of 1300 UTC on 2023-03-12 the environment has been in the process of recovering from the slow / non-responsive state it was in but we wanted to advise that, while this recovery effort is in-progress, players will experience periods of extreme difficulty getting into the PU. We expect players to see a mix of errors from the 19k, 30k, and 60k ranges. A more detailed breakdown of each specific issue we’re tracking can be found on the the RSI Knowledge Base [2023-04-12 Updates] 2240 UTC - Since the last major update, the team has been using the ptu environments to stress test a number of SC Alpha 3.18.1 builds. As mentioned on Spectrum, this has resulted in 50+ hotfixes and tuning adjustments aimed at bringing more stability to the live environment. While there is still room for improvement, we believe the SC Alpha 3.18.1-live.8430497 to be substantially better than the current live experience. As we’re entering the maintenance window to bring 3.18.1 live, this incident has been set to resolved with any new issues for 3.18.1 tracked in a new incident.

In addition to a number of crash fixes and improvements, this patch brings the new vehicle delivery changes which were first mentioned here, For more information about Star Citizen Alpha 3.18.1 including this weekend’s playtest schedule, please check out this thread on spectrum [2023-03-27 Updates] 1700 UTC - Over the weekend, a series of hotfixes were deployed to the Live Environment to help reduce the number of players stuck with error code 30009 or otherwise unable to pass infinite loading. The majority of these issues were caused by the player’s character either: Being flagged as unstowed when already stowed. Being flagged as created when the player, in fact, does not exist after a failed character repair. Being set as owned by the universe when aboard another player’s ship that was insurance claimed. The work on the SC Alpha 3.18.1 continues and we hope to have this build published to Live this week.
