The recently released Star Citizen 3.20 patch introduces exciting additions like denser vegetation and improved AI, but is plagued by bugs and server stability issues. While players are eager to explore the new features, they are also cautious about the current state of the game due to the technical difficulties.
Star Citizen’s 3.20 patch is now live, but it is experiencing some major issues. While there are some cool additions to the game, players may have to wait before they can fully experience them due to numerous bugs and server stability problems. The new MicroTech forest density looks promising, offering denser vegetation that could potentially lead to the creation of impressive jungle planets. The improved wheeled vehicle physics, however, are problematic, as vehicles are prone to flipping over easily and collisions with rocks can be disastrous.
The 3.20 patch also introduces the Mariah Fury LX, a pure racing craft that has been well-received by the racing community. It offers excellent maneuverability and control, which is something players are eager to see in more ships. The new AI enemy ships in bounty missions are more reactive and intelligent, presenting a more challenging and immersive experience. The AI even have the ability to pick up weapons from fallen players and use them in combat.
Arena Commander has received significant updates with a new front end for matchmaking, new maps, and new modes. However, the new map over a planet has issues with out-of-bounds limits, and timed content events like Master modes limit players’ access to certain game modes. Racing in Arena Commander has seen improvements, though it could still benefit from additional aids for new players. Attempts to test cargo trading with the Hull C were foiled by bugs and server issues.
Despite the promising additions, the 3.20 patch has brought numerous bugs and stability problems to the game. However, some quality-of-life updates, such as the improved Quantum Jumping UI, have been well-received. Overall, players are excited about the patch’s features, but are cautious due to the current state of the servers.
