Wasn't there supposed to be a Squadron 42 status update video this week? Did they release it?

I made an account downloaded the installer but have yet to receive a confirmation email so I can't login. Went to create another account thinking maybe I entered my email wrong, but nope it says that email is already in use.

Thus ends my Star Citizen experience.

Well the game downloaded very fast through the launcher and now it is "updating" at a pace that will take 25 hours to finish.

Yeah I hopped on Twitch to see if this was even worth my time to try and play and I could only find 1 person actually in game and he was in hyperspace so he alt-tabbed to show everyone the really cool Invictus Week YouTube video and I stopped watching.

Okie... so... this keeps kicking me to the launcher.

Am I missing something? Do I need to create a character on the webpage somewhere?

What am I doing wrong to not get this thing to start, or am I expected to sit here all night watching a counter that is clearly lying to me about getting in the game vs just shutting down?

Technically she's not standing on the bench, she's standing on a dude who's sitting on a bench.

Seriously, that's probably what broke here, whatever half assed workaround they used to get AI's to sit breaks if there's already someone sitting there.

You're not missing anything. Just keep trying until the "game" functions enough to spawn you somewhere.

When you get in you've got 2 minutes tops before you're kicked out and you start all over again. 9 years and $500 million ladies and gentlemen!

So.. wow.

I was hoping to see something, anything really. I think I've done the quite about 10 or so times now, sitting here like an idiot staring at a computer screen count down so I can do it again.

I was hoping for some good screenshots of something funny or cute happening but... yeah... literally nothing. I don't even know what the game main menu looks like.

I guess all I know is cig calls this a "pre-release" And I am a "tester". So it's not an alpha and I'm not a player. I'm basically an employee under an NDA.
