Star Citizen Patch 3.8.0b
Alpha Patch 3.8.0b has been released to Evocati, and is now available to test!   Patch should now show: VERSION 3.8.0-PTU.3715251.

It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Public client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\PTU.

Database Persistence Wipe: NO

The current build is under NDA

Please monitor etf-megachat in spectrum for updates and testing instructions.
UPDATED USER.cfg settings:

r_displaySessionInfo = 1

Note: This patch does not contain all of the intended features, which will be added iteratively to the notes as they become available. Additionally, some features may be implemented in a partial state and as such are not ready for testing.  When those features reach a playable state they will be detailed on the notes and added to the "Testing Focus".  Features and content shown in Citizencon, including Microtech and the Pisces, are currently in a partial state as we are working on moving those into the 3.8 build.  WIth that in mind, we are focusing solely on stability and will collect feature feedback in a later build.

This patch will be up for a limited  focus window with a max of 24 hours.
