Star Citizen DFM Patch Imminent [Sep 11, 2014, 09:39 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
An
Arena Commander V0.9 Status Update on the Roberts Space Industries website
indicates they are very close to releasing the version 0.9 update for the Arena
Commander module for Star Citizen first mentioned
over three months ago when
the debut version 0.8 was released. They explain the hoops they must now go
through in order to push out a patch once their release candidate is improved,
adding they are planning on improving this kludgy-sounding system to streamline
this process going forward. There will apparently be a new hangar patch this
weekend, as shown off in
this user video.
This recent post outlines all the changes planned for version 0.9,
summarizing the news in this shortlist:
- Murray Cup Racing Mode: As shown at Gamescom, players can now race their pledge ships in a specially designed upper-atmospheric scenario!
- Vanduul Swarm Co-Op: Take on the alien hoards with a friend, or competitor!
- Flyable M50 and 350R: The M50 and the 350R have been readied for flight to kick off the race mode. These ships will now be flyable in all Arena Commander game modes.
- Private Matches: Tired of being matched with random players in AC? Private matches will let you play with friends!
- Friend Codes: We’re launching a code system for both private and public matches so you can connect with your wingmen.
- Leaderboards: Your performance in Arena Commander’s various modes will display on the RSI website and allow you to compare with others.
- Updated Ship Performance: We’ve increased the speed and acceleration of every ship. With this we’ve also reworked the afterburner mechanic to increase acceleration instead of top speed.
- HUD Update: We’ve overhauled the usability of the visor HUD interface so you can customize your ships systems much more easily in flight.
- New Hangars: We’ve remastered all of Star Citizen’s Hangars with the new forward-looking room system and added the Asteroid Hangar.
- New Pause Menu: Our refactored pause menu is a large step forward aesthetically, and will support new features like custom keybindings in the future. In the meantime we’ve included selectable profiles for the most common peripherals.
- 6DOF: With the improvements to the IFCS and flight physics we are now ready to introduce 6DOF movement for an entirely new way to fly.
Well this game is shaping up nicely, sort of like Mechwarrior Online did a while ago. I have a feeling that people will be playing the DFM for a loooooooooooong time.
I have a nifty blue line!
Is this the patch that...
After seeing some of the battlestation setups by fans, I now understand how this game has an almost limitless pool of funds to tap in to.
Some of those setups are just disgustingly awesome.

Any day now, Centauri is going to show up and take this guy away to defend the frontier against Xur and Ko-dan Armada.

Fuck that was an awesome movie. The Last Star Fighter right? These kinds of setups are fairly common among (the wealthier) sim enthusiasts. I wouldnt build one myself for a space game, but If I had the cash Id go for one for DCS World...
I have a nifty blue line!

Wonder if it'll actually be flyable this time?

nin: This forum is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Blue: What do you mean, "biblical"?

But wait, no he's not, because he's just the dude with the awesome gear that still can't play! Nooooooo!!!!!

As long as they don't fix SLI they can shove their patches up their dumb asses at the speed of light for all I fucking care.

I know. At least we know one of them will be good...
I have CrossFire and SLI working with Arena Commander.
1. Start the game, and press ~ to open the console:
2. Type in the following commands:
r_MultiGPU = 2
r_MotionBlur = 0
r_vsync = 1
r_buffer_sli_workaround = 1
sys_maxfps = 30
sys_maxfps needs to be tweaked, I have mine set to 120 which runs flawlessly, but your rig will be different.
If this does work, and it should due to the bug that is causing the textures to "glitch" then you should create a user.cfg with the listed commands in your starcitizen folder.
Your a PC gamer. Act Accordingly.
Note: For whatever reason, r_vsync must be enabled, despite it not locking the framerate.

Always a great way to make that all important first impression.

Wouldn't that be a cat-astrophe? She might even pussy out of the battle.

Sounded like an appropriate response to the tantrum post he was responding to about a BETA.
Slightly off topic post: Go to Netflix/Amazon/Whatever and watch The Last Starfighter again... it'll make you weep, the special effects look so terrible now. 
Still, one of the defining films of my youth.
