It is a shame, too. Lots of love put into this game. It deserves more.

It's shame, this game is great and the multiplayer is fun. I haven't been able to play the new game modes :(, but maybe we can all organize a day where everyone gets on multiplayer?

Try playing with bots! On expert they are pretty competent, and on regular/casual it's fun to just blast them away. They work on all gamemodes too for PvP, including CTF and KOTH

We are actually planning to get something going on the Discord soon, but with all the reports we've had of people having connectivity issues we thought it might be best to wait a week or two until those get figured out.

New hotfix coming today which we're hoping will help fix a few of these and if not at least get us some more information with additional tests for the logs, so hopefully will only be a week or two. I'll be posting an announcement both here and in Discord once we have a better idea.

Happy gaming!

Console release and crossplay would go a long long way.

Both are in the works! Should be coming at some point early-ish next year

Awesome! That is great to hear. This will be a fun game for my friends on consoles. Look forward to the crossplay. :)

@Grimbeard Any update on the servers? Will they ever be back up?

As of December 9th, 2023, the server issues have been resolved!

Would certainly go a long way toward keepin me away (not that I've played since somewhere between 2108 and 2021) - I abhor crossplay! Mixing Console and PC players is like mixing flag football and NFL teams: Sure it's funny as hell to watch the chaos, but in the end it's just not satisfying.

I do not understand this mindset. For PvP? Sure. Maybe crossplay should be restricted between consoles, and between PC storefronts. For PvE, though? I don't see a problem with being able to connect with friends on other platforms. Crossplay is a good thing -- it just needs to be implemented and used properly. I'd like crossplay in every PvE co-op game if it were possible.

Crossplay can also bring communities together to improve numbers. Servers that are fuller, quick queue times and the sort. I think crossplay can only improve games, depending on what they are. That may just be my opinion, but I do feel like -- if done properly -- crossplay can't hurt any games, really.

Put simply, for your understanding: consoles are nothing more than extremely dumbed down hardware with quite limited controls and capabilities. Should CIG completely neuter Star Citizen just so some console brat can 'experience it' and not feel completely left out?

For arcadey crap like Gauntlet, sure... crossplay all ya want, and leave me out of it. But for actual gaming with more intensity than Mrs Pacman? Why would you literally handicap yourself? PC is the ONLY option.

I don't quite seem to understand. I know consoles are weaker than PC, but that doesn't mean crossplay would be a negative experience for anyone. What about crossplay would handicap someone?

Way to bait mate, but I'll play along:

Hardware (HD/RAM/Video/etc) - PC will ALWAYS be superior in in every measurable way, without having to replace the ENTIRE proprietary device.

Controls - Between my keyboard, Mouse, Hotas, pedals, wheel, and even m ore (including custom hand-made controls using Arduino, Pi, etc), I have literally THOUSANDS of control combinations compared to how many for conole controlers? Maybe 10 buttons? ROFL!

With ONLY those 2 examples, how is console NOT a handicap?
