In the latest Star Citizen update for patch 4.0.2 in the Open PTU, developers are focusing on fixing server freezes and issues related to Quantum travel, which have been frustrating players.

In the latest update regarding Star Citizen, developers are working on patch 4.0.2, which is currently in the Open PTU (Public Test Universe). The focus of this patch includes addressing several issues that players have been experiencing, particularly server freezes that prevent interaction with ships and the game world. These freezes can be frustrating, as they leave players unable to progress until the issue resolves itself, which may take some time.
One of the significant improvements being pursued is related to Quantum travel. Players have reported issues with Quantum travel stopping unexpectedly after short distances, or even overshooting their intended destinations. The developers are working on fixes for these problems, as well as addressing cases where ships fail to initiate Quantum travel despite being ready. These enhancements aim to improve the overall travel experience within the game, which has been a source of frustration for many players.
Additionally, the patch is making strides in fixing various vehicle-related issues. For instance, there have been reports of power locations dropping to zero, which is being addressed. The developers are also focusing on improving the functionality of personal hangars, ensuring that players cannot enter non-owner personal hangars, thus enhancing security for players’ assets. Furthermore, mission rewards have been updated so that players will finally receive payments upon completion, addressing a long-standing issue in the PTU.
The patch also includes fixes for specific locations and gameplay mechanics, such as the interiors of buildings on the problematic planet Monox and the functionality of automatic doors at Outposts in Pyro. The Mercury Star Runner ship has seen improvements as well, particularly regarding the stability of FPS weapons placed in weapon racks, which previously had issues with disappearing items. These changes reflect the developers’ commitment to refining the gameplay experience and addressing player concerns.
As the developers continue to work on additional fixes, players are encouraged to explore the PTU to experience the progress firsthand. The video also mentions a giveaway for subscribers and highlights the importance of community support for ongoing content creation. Overall, the updates signal a positive direction for Star Citizen, with developers actively responding to community feedback and striving to enhance the game’s functionality and enjoyment.
