Maybe a bug. Playing the game makes the game stop working.

Also your ships fall apart just from flying around space.

I can't help thinking that anyone with any sense at all would have decided 6 months ago that something just has to ship on November 19th, so even with their record of being absolutely horrible at releasing anything. I still sort of half think they might release 2.0 on the 19th, even with nothing in it apart from a couple of landing areas, being able to float around, the retaliator (obviously not the constellation as that's still being worked on) and terrible fps combat/animations, people will at least have something to do for a few days before they get bored with it.

Stream may have been terrible but credit where it's due there are actually people playing AC 2.0 today and I believe they have both the Retaliator and the Constellation in. I still think they'll get bored shortly but not as fast as I thought, seems like there's a lot more than I expected too.

I like that the crotch is the center focal point of the gameplay. You can make out a little space behind it sometimes if you look closely enough.

Well I will admit it- I'm watching this stream, http://www.twitch.tv/matticusgames

and they have managed to get 2.0 out to some actual players. It's glitchy as hell and it crashes constantly, and for some reason they chose to spend 3 hours of stream today showing anything but their actual game, but it's out. I was wrong about it not coming out and I'm happy to be wrong. Hopefully this is just the start and we'll see rapid development leaps from here.

If I was CIG I wouldn't release AC 2.0 to everyone till mid to late December, they'll have an excuse for another sale.

If it works as poorly as it looks I doubt they will want the general backer to touch it until it stable for more then a few minutes at a time. Only the truest believers would over look that.

That's just so short-sighted though, if you ask me. If they'd just show stuff like this, I'd forgive them a shitload of bugs. It's because they keep it all stuffed behind this privacy curtain and then only let it out for sales that I'm so critical of bugs. I can forgive a lot of problems in something that I can at least put my hands on. I'm not saying I'm about to buy back in, or anything, but like- if they'd lead with this, to show this was where their priorities are instead of movie bullshit, I might have at least been swayed a bit.

Looks like major FPS lag in the KingKongor stream as he moves his mouse. And he keeps crashing trying to get out of the hangar.

Also he keeps saying star citizen is better then elite dangerous. I think there's something wrong with that statement, cant say what.

Oh good, encouragement for me to post that in the last 3 minutes he: Crashed, got in to the hangar, crashed before he got out of the hangar, tried to reload and then crashed before the next loading screen ended.

"ok star citizen now please work"

I'll use this post as a crash log.

8:35 PM) he crashed
8:38 PM) he crashed in the middle of a rant about why Derek Smart is wrong.
8:40 PM) Derek linked to my stream? Derek Smart is actually good!

They can't get their tech demo to work after three years of development. ANY hope is outlandishly naive.

Crashing at this stage wouldn't concern me that much, the fact they managed this at all is a minor miracle. There's 11 full sale days left and just seeing normal punters able to play at all will reassure a lot of people. I think Derek needs to factor in that the people still employed by CIG who would leak him stuff have to be incredibly pissed off (otherwise why risk leaking?) and therefore maybe negatively biased towards failure, also not all of them will even be in the right discipline to accurately judge how stable a build is.

I don't think this is going to change the eventual outcome but it's certainly given them a lifeline and a chance at raising the average of 500k or so a day they really need to ward off a very noticeable funding disaster in their best month of the year.

Well I did back the game in the first place, so I guess call me foolishly naive. But I don't really have hope that it'll be good, mind you. I'm just willing to admit I was wrong about it not coming out at all. And with that, I cannot understand why they didn't spend more of today emphasizing their progress.

Also, based on how absolutely wrong his statements about what features would not be included in 2.0 were, either he's just making stuff up and hoping to be right, or his sources are just stringing him along intentionally with wrong information.

I don't know, he claimed 2.0 was going to be a janky unstable mess, and so far he looks pretty spot on.
