30k Crash RECOVERY!! MASSIVE Alpha 3.15 GAME CHANGER | Star Citizen

-Alpha 3.15 brings with it a huge plethora of incredible new features and systems, but one improvement is music to my ears.
Today I'd like to talk about the 30K issue, and how CIG are fixing this issue. 30K's are gone

Star Citizen is an open development, crowd funded project from Cloud Imperium. Consisting of 2 games, Squadron 42 a single player, story driven campaign putting you in the middle of the Vanduul attacks as an up and coming UEE Navy pilot, and Star Citizen, a highly detailed
first person MMO set within a persistent universe where there are no limits. This includes, space, and ground aspects, massive space ships with full interiors and interactions, a full dynamic economy which reacts to the players actions allowing for anything you can imagine.
It is all being built on the StarEngine (a modified version of Amazons Lumberyard Engine).
Please bare in mind that this is heavily WIP and in an alpha state in which much of the foundational tech to make it a reality is still being developed. Both games do not have set release dates yet but you can play the alpha build for the PU MMO which makes consistent progress
with quarterly patch releases throughout the year.

I am an independent content creator and a fan of the game, I am not paid by Cloud Imperium however I do accept ships from them to giveaway to my community but this will by no means influence my opinion or what I say and believe about the project.

One step closer to making cargo/mining (and thus pirating) real game loops

Regarding the 30k's it's deffo about having said that 3.15 is a huge change and very welcomed. New healing mechanic along with personal inventory had to force their hands with regard to the 30k's as we no longer have a global inventory this forces us to use ship storage way more often now and to then potentially lose it to a server crash would have been so bad. Great work CIG!!

[Power]

Odd that it is only being applied to server crashes and not client crashes. Crash is a crash. 30k is any disconnect, so this is not for all 30k just server side ones. Still so glad they finally gave us a 30k save of some sort.

This is such good news. I'm nearly as excited as I was about the BMM news 😃

Just to clarify, the way the heartbeat things work in general in software terms, is it sends a heartbeat out and simultaneously is saves the current state of you and your ship. If it fails to get a response from the server to that heartbeat, because the server (or client) has lost connection, it makes a note to restore that state to your character next time it connects.

This is actually the most basic of safety mechanisms in any software device, and realistically should have been part of the backend code from the very start. Coming from the aviation and medical industries, this kind of thing is just considered the norm for any important data, and much more sophisticated systems are in place for safety-critical stuff.

30ks are happening so fast in the PTU i cant even leave a station let alone start a mission to test the crash recovery.

[tubewatcher]

That's AMAZING news!! Damn good job CIG. Now if we could just get most of those 30K bugs squashed...

[Idle_Timer]

In 3.16 this is either no longer in service or it has never affected me. I've been getting 30k constantly the past week and losing everything.

[xelcon]

Temporary fix or not. This is the most welcome news they have given us!

[case]

That's a massive QOL improvement. Thanks for the update.

Please understand - this only works with a 30K Server crash, not a 30K client-side disconnection. So, if it's the server's fault - it works. If it's something on your end, it won't.

[snaggletoof]

Great update, Mac! Very happy to see CIG finally implemented some sort of safety parachute for server crashes. The lack of one, plus the huge problems with cargo hauling have kept me from trying out that particular game play loop. But now that it's slowly being worked on, I may have to give it a shot post wipe.

[CrypticCarbon]

Will this work for the "disconnected from login in server" issue?. Every now and then I get a warning saying I disconnected from the log in sever. Some times it auto reconnects, and some time I have to log in in a again, and in either case its 50/50 that I spawn in where I left off, or spawn in at a station with my ship and cargo lost.

[danielthibault]

Does crash recovery also include upgraded ship components? What about getting shotdown in PVP?

[MarcusWolschon]

I wonder what happens to MISSION BOXES

[dtmtrix]

Ya they need more time to polish this game...all of my Anvil ships are missing. The Star Runners don't have buttons for doors or sensors...the UI on the hid keeps glitching along with the text..

[BalorRone]

This is a really old question I’m sure, but what typically causes 30k’s? Wouldn’t they want to work on fixing or preventing them permanently?

[mkozachek]

The old Freelancer ad looks so goofy now

[Anachroschism]

Hopefully it works as we want it too. Make the most of trading before it changes again.

[Harry-uvyh]

the only problem is I get into game and it just crashes
