Star Citizen Patch 3.5.1
Alpha Patch 3.5.1 has been released to PTU, and is now available to test! Patch should now show: PTU-1627027.

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\StarCitizenPTU\LIVE.

Please monitor etf megachat in spectrum for updates and testing instructions.

UPDATED USER.cfg settings:
r_displaySessionInfo = 1

The new setting will display a QR code that we can use to track down server information when looking at your bug reports and videos. Then can be disabled by setting it to "0".

Testing Focus

    We have added logging to pinpoint the source of the server despawning the player's only ship when they exit the vehicle. Go get your ship despawned!
